Home Maintenance & Repairs: Water leaks in at floor level when raining

During a hard rain water leaks into room at floor level. I've had the grout line cleaned and resealed. During a recent rain, I observed the area where the water is entering from and I ...»
could hear water falling inside wall before appearing on floor. It doesn't appear to be the grout as I thought. Could it be the caulking/sealant around the outer window frame or what?

    Is this an exterior wall? You mentioned hearing water falling inside the wall, which I would ...»
    suspect would not be possible if the wall is insulated. If it is an interior wall, most likely a roof flashing, chimney flashing, or roofing itself? I have seen the rubber flashing around a plumbing vent deteriorate many times over the years, but usually it leads to only a small leak.

    SLS has the best advice. Hire a qualified professional to come out and track it down.

Sometimes I think I'd like to have a small overhang over my back doors

onto the deck. This would be useful if my dogs happen to be outside when it starts raining and I haven't noticed, so they're stuck outside. You'd think they'd get under the table, but they don't. They just stand at the door, getting wetter and wetter until I come let them inside. But my yard is very shady and inside this door is one of the brightest places in my house, so I don't want to obscure whatever sun might come into the kitchen with an overhang. I've seen that wavy clear ...»
plastic-looking stuff over some decks, but I think it's quite ugly so don't want to use it. Is there some kind of clear material I could use as a tiny roof for an overhang so I'll still get sunlight into the room? Here's where it would need to go.

    Of course you could have a contractor come over and build you a portico which would be very nice but I'm thinking probably more than you are looking to spend. I'll just toss this out here for you, we could build a panel with a 1" X 1" frame and the clear glazing to any desired size, let's say 3' X 6' and you could simply attach it under your eave but you'd need to figure out the framework to support it. This would run you about $100.00 We build hundreds of these every year for people to enclose their porches and patios and you'd simply have one of these panels placed over the door for some weather protection. Just thought I'd toss this out there for you as an option. Eugene

Fix a Sagging Door in 5 Minutes Flat

We had a sagging interior door that was driving us crazy. We had to lift the door knob to get it to latch. We were able to fix it in no time with some cardboard.

  • Bathroom window valance we created to add softness and finished look for the bathroom. We used three fabrics and trim. The fabric is inexpensive but workmanship is great. The valance design was drawn out to scale.

Before - After Bathroom Window Treatment Valance

Custom window treatments with patterned fabric are selected to make the bathroom look softer and not so formal. The window valance works against the contrast wall.

Handcrafted Chippendale Door

A new addition to our home is a Chippendale door for our porch, handcrafted by my husband. He copied the design on our front door so the two would match. We are loving the curb appeal this new door gives our home.
