glass block windows

Help! We installed a clear glass block window in the shower. We now have a 'beacon' of light directing people to our shower in the evening. How can we fix this? Is there something we can coat the blocks with to insure that they are no longer see through?

As an inexpensive solution, you may want to try using one of several transculent coatings available, which are commonly used to create "faux" stained glass.

Thanks. I'll look into this. Are these available at home improvement stores?

Prehung Doors

I want to replace and existing door with a new prehung six panel door. The problem is that the existing door measures 30 1/2 X 75 1/2. Should I cut off equal amounts of the top and bottom? We can't make the opening bigger because of 7 foot ceiling. Thanks :(Read More

Door Extension?

I recently moved into a new apartment. For the most part things have been great, but as with any new space, we keep finding odd quirks we want to fix. For instance, my bedroom door seems to be about 3 inches too short. There is a rather substantial gap between the end of the door and the floor. It's a problem because the room is right off of the living room, and as the door is already a french door, it really isnt very sound proof. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this? I don't want to replace the door because its pretty and Im jsut a renter and don't want to invest too much money into the place. Thanks, SarahRead More
