Painting FAQs
You can minimize heavy sanding by degreasing, using a liquid deglosser, applying a bonding primer (sticks to glossy finishes), then finishing with a cabinet-grade waterborne alkyd/urethane enamel. Light scuff-sanding still improves adhesion.
Use waterborne alkyd enamel (e.g., Benjamin Moore ADVANCE) or urethane-modified alkyd enamel (e.g., Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel) for a hard, durable, furniture-like finish that levels well
Choose bathroom-specific, mildew-resistant paints. For walls, satin/eggshell or dedicated bath-matte formulations; for ceilings, flat/matte labeled for baths. Manufacturer lines like Aura® Bath & Spa and Emerald® include mildewcides for humid rooms. Ventilation is still critical.
Any high-quality mildew-resistant interior paint marketed for kitchens/baths (matte/satin/semigloss) works; match sheen to use and humidity.
Landscaping FAQs
“Mulch” is any material spread over soil—often organic (bark, wood chips, straw, shredded leaves, grass clippings) or inorganic (stone, rubber).
Go with clean straw (low seeds), shredded leaves, dried grass clippings (thin layers), or arborist wood chips; avoid herbicide-treated clippings and dyed mulches in edible beds.
Three proven methods:
- soil solarization with clear plastic (weeks in full sun),
- tarp/occultation with opaque covers,
- or mechanical removal (sod cutter + disposal).
Selective herbicides are an option when used exactly as labeled.
A cultivator will work well and remove weeds fast, as long as nothing is in the way
