I'm blessed to be able to use this column to share my knowledge. It allows me to empower you to do many jobs you might never think of doing yourself. In the past, working with water lines required a decent amount of experience. You had to know how to solder copper tubing. I recorded a step-by-step video of this process over 20 years ago and it's still on my website. The great news is you can solder with a simple torch you purchase at a big box store.

You may find this hard to believe, but I didn't build the house I currently live in. It's a long story, but this current house in central New Hampshire was supposed to be a transition home while I built a Queen Anne Victorian house for my family. Those plans were dashed by the horrible economic storm that affected millions in the autumn of 2008. It's hard to believe that was 15 years ago!The builder who constructed my home took any number of shortcuts.

As a columnist, it’s my job to save you money and time on every repair or improvement project you plan for your home. While I try my best, I’m thwarted by at least two factors. First and foremost, there are thousands of contractors who do less than acceptable work. I hear about them from readers like you every single day. The next problem is you. It’s tough-love time. In every autopsy I do for homeowners who are victims of poor workmanship, I find a fatal mix of hope and misplaced trust.
