Sink your #6 screws into six garden projects featured in the May edition of Canadian Home Workshop, on newsstands now: May is spring-cleanup season, and it's the perfect time to complete projects that aren't suited for wintertime. Here are a few: WOODWORKING PROJECTS: Plant stand Junk that rusty old, metal plant stand and build a sturdy cedar pot stand with collapsible shelves-perfect for placing on the ground or on a wall. By Gary Walchuk Latticed screen Nothing says eyesore like a bulky air conditioner plopped in the middle of your garden. Solution: screen it in with a latticed box. By Paul Lewis Panelled planter Forget store-bought pots and build this smart planter box with all-weather vinyl siding. The vinyl-cedar combination looks great and is built to last. By Ryan Shervill Other projects include a picnic table and benches, trellis and whirligig. HOME IMPROVEMENT: Windows 101 How to choose and install the best windows for every view in your house.

The "genius" that installed the door fixed this by gouging the left side of the inside hole a bit to allow the screw to line up with the thread on the other side. Now there is a sliver of space on the right side of the door knob on the inside. How do I get rid of that sliver? -Marty A:How annoying! Take the lock set apart to clear space in the opening. Find a small square piece of aluminum or thin steel sheet that you can easily cut to a curve that matches the opening on the passage way set side. Slide this small piece into the opening, between the backside of the steel of the door and the styrofoam behind it. When it fits, pull it back out, put a dab of silicone cement on it, and put it back in. Then, you can use a metal filler, such as auto-body compound, to build up to the door's outside surface level. When it hardens, sand flat and paint to match, then put the works back together. -CHW Pro Don Kondra ________________________________ project <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=883243&newsletterID=10884&memberID=54635 3&format=HTML> For more questions and answers, or to send questions yourself, go to the Ask A Pro <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=883244&newsletterID=10884&memberID=54635 3&format=HTML> section of our website.
