| Laminating your countertops
With a bit of practice, you can do a professional-looking job of laminating your kitchen counters. First, prepare the surface. Laminates need a perfectly smooth surface to adhere to, so if you've removed the old laminate, sand down any rough spots and fill holes with wood putty.

The basement is the most naturally moist part of your home. Since it's below ground, temperatures there are lower than in the rest of the house, which can cause condensation during warm, humid weather.

| What about wallpaper?
Minor wallpaper problems like blisters or peeling are fairly easy to fix. A blister is caused when air is trapped beneath the paper. First, try pricking it with a pin and squeezing out the excess air.

| Wooden fences
Since wooden fences are constantly exposed to the elements, you should plan on checking them for damage at least twice a year. Loose nails can be pounded back in and paint touched up as needed.
