Ask The Home Improvement Pros

Here's the problem: You've got a question about the do-it-yourself home improvement project you've decided to tackle, but you don't know anyone who has the answer. The solution? Try asking an expert online at the Web site of the popular TV show This Old House!

Here's how:

• Go to This Old House and click on Give & Get Advice from the top menu.
• On the resulting page under Ask This Old House, click on Ask Your Own Question.
• Fill out the online form and click Submit at the bottom of the page.

You should note that not every question submitted will be answered-as they clearly state on their Web site-but it's still worth a try. Or, you could always check their Archive of Questions-the answer you're looking for might already be there!
