Welcome to another edition of Saturday Morning Home Repair Blogging, where professionals, amateurs, and outright bullshitters all get together to shoot the breeze, get advice, and mock former homeowners. If you have a questions about your home and how to fix it, you can probably get an answer here. There's even a pretty good chance it's the RIGHT answer, too!

My tale of woe is just beyond the orange curlicue.

Saturday Morning Home Repair is a weekly community gathering where we talk about all things houses. Bring your projects and your problems, and a gifted team of amateurs and professionals will do our best to help. We're a pretty friendly bunch, so don't be afraid to post what seems like stupid questions. We save all scoffing for the idiot who owned the house before you.

It's been a while since I posted, but join me after the orange danish for some pictures of stupid, cool, and more.

The Saturday Morning Home Repair Blog (SMHRB) is where we gather to discuss the many and varied aspects of home repair. Some here are trained professionals. Some, talented DIYers. Some, hopeless thumb-hammerers. All are welcome. Please feel encouraged to ask questions, share successes, lament sags, drips and cracks and, as always, share any advice that you have for the rest of us.

Shop's open, coffee's on!

SMHRB is a group dedicated to fixing the varied multitude of small (and not-so-small) problems and issues that come with owning any house, with an eye towards intelligent improvement at all times. Even the best ideas of previous home owners can have horrible results if not done correctly, resulting in what we commonly refer to as "Teh Stupid". One of our collective hopes is to not add the list of things that later needs more attention - band-aid solutions are never the best way to go.

And sometimes we just shoot the breeze and try to answer any random questions the best we can. More after coffee and the orange Danish. If you have orange coffee, you need to brew a new pot.

It's Election Day Eve-eve-eve, and many people are digging out from the mess left by Hurricane Sandy. This is a perfect time to share how-to tips on projects, repairs, and more. For anyone looking for a fix to basement flooding, there was a great article last week on sump pump installation.

SMHRB is the little corner of the Great Orange Satan where we talk about our homes, how to fix them, how to upgrade them, and what kind of stupid the former owner left behind. For just about any project, there's someone who's done it before and has all kinds of helpful advice. All are welcome, from the newbie to the professional.

Welcome again to Saturday Morning Home Repair blogging, where we talk about fixing houses, the things in them that are supposed to work for us, and fixing them up. An ad hoc cadre of building professionals and gifted amateurs attempt to answer questions that arise from readers, and offer encouragement and advice for those inclined to do things for themselves, if they can. We all do a lot of things, collectively, and can probably help out with insights from our vast experience.

Or sometimes, we just gab.

Good morning! The Saturday Morning Home Repair shop is open, the coffee is hot, and there's a chair in a nice patch of sunshine. Take a seat, tell us what you're working on, and ask for any advice you need. For just about every question, we've got someone who either knows the answer or where to find it.

Follow me after the fold for another in the series on how boats are built.

Welcome to another round of Saturday Morning Home Repair Blogging, where experts and amateurs gather to share advice, war stories, and encouragement. Every so often, there's a little mockery, but only of homeowners long past as we fix up their stupid messes.

Follow me after the fold for some advice on choosing and working with a design professional.

Good Morning all! I'm taking a turn opening the home repair shop this week. Please pull up a chair, fill up a mug, and talk about what's going on at your house. The gifted cadre of professionals and amateurs will be happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction. After the jump, I'll talk a little bit about how water gets to your house, from the basic to the extra-geeky.

It's Saturday morning, and that means time to talk about home repair again. I'm boatgeek, standing in this week for Claude while he's out of town. This is where you can learn from a cadre of amateurs and professionals about how to fix the little (and not so little) problems at your house.

After the jump, I have some info on a kitchen floor replacement we did a few months ago.

We get it. You're exhausted. Congress was a huge disappointment, the Obama agenda has been derailed by an obstructionist minority, and too many people you know are out of work. Because of all that, we're looking at a potential tsunami of bad news on Election Night.

We can stop the tsunami. How? Get Out the Vote.
