Whole house

Some jobs do not belong to one room. Flooring that runs through the whole house, baseboard in every room, caulk for every joint and the electrical system behind all of it fall here. The videos include installing vinyl plank flooring, replacing a light switch and choosing the right caulk for each joint.

Plan whole-house work in sequence: repair, paint, floor, then trim. For wiring, understand why breakers trip before blaming the breaker, and shut off power and test before touching a device. Our basic tool kit guide lists what to own for most of it, and the winter maintenance checklist covers the seasonal rounds.
