Handy-Man Corner

I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

The real question and reason for this post regards brick masonry. My house has front steps with brick walls and pillars. They've got a white/yellow fungus of some kind growing on them and discoloring them.

Whats the best method to remove that? I'm thinking of spraying it with Bleech water but thought I'd check here first.
There's an acid wash that masons use to clean bricks (muriatic maybe?). Not sure of cost. If you have a brickyard in the vicinity, I'd shoot them a call. Normally the best place to get an informed opinion on building materials is from someone who sells the product.

It seems we have 2 layers in our bathroom. One that is peeling off rather easily, and another, thin white layer, that won't peel off that easily.
you sure that white layer isn't the outside of the drywall?

Fairly sure. It peels off, just not as easy as the other layer.

Well, not much of that has peeled off. What do I do about it?

Not a big deal, really. Do you plan on papering again? If so, it's no big deal at all. If you plan to paint, just throw a little wall compound (spackle) over the area (only if it's deep).

Leave it alone. Try and remove whatever is hanging off with a razor. If the surface is uneven enough that you think it will show through, apply a thin layer of drywall compound and sand it smooth once it's dry.

If you can't find a seam, it's probably the drywall paper. Is it brown underneath?

It's really not significant other than to provide a smooth painting surface.

It's not deep. We plan on painting with a textured paint. Not sure how it will turn out. I didn't think it was part of the drywall because it seemed like a very thin layer of white wallpaper. When I peel it off, it reveals a beige wall.

I really have absolutely no experience with any of this. Painting, or anything. Any advice would be welcomed.

Don't worry about it. If you are using textured paint, it's no big deal at all. Just sand down any rough areas (loose paper), and paint right over it. Just try not to gouge the dry wall too much, so as to avoid spackling.
