		<description><![CDATA[It's easy to say that anyone can build their own solar panel. With lots of tutoring that really is true. But the fact is, you really need to know what your doing. It's not easy and It takes time, money and commitment to the project <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/residential-solar-power-understanding-the-basics-of-solar-panels/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I put the filters back in and started up the pump and set it for 24 hours filtration. <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/i-have-green-algae-in-my-pool-the-challenge/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a half wall idea for both storage and safety where small children and 2nd floor half walls that overlook a first floor are concerned. This bookshelf project took about 25 working hours to complete and another 4 to 5 hours to install and apply the finishing touches. I worked on it over a two week period. They  turned out looking great and are very strong. <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/how-to-build-a-bookshelf-on-top-of-a-half-wall-for-added-storage-and-safety/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I won my bid to install a new rear entry door on an older house. The homeowner loved the door she already had, but it had so many problems, it was highly impractical to repair it. It needed a new threshold, an entirely new jamb, and the original installer had cut the top of the door out of square to make it fit his make-shift jamb. I quoted to install a brand new, per-hung door and was able to find the exact same door. <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/how-to-stain-and-finish-a-wood-door/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All homes need some sort of humidity control for optimal health for you and your family as well as the safe-keeping of your home. The EPA suggests that you should maintain between 30 and 50% relative humidity for those very reasons. A dehumidifier can remove moisture from the air that your air conditioner was not designed to remove. <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/choosing-a-small-dehumidifier-for-your-home/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let's face it; a garden shed can offer a number of advantages. A shed can be used as a place to store garden tools or used as storage for additional plants, fertilizers, and so on. Even if you don't have a garden, a shed can add considerable storage space and help you clear out garage clutter. Imagine your garage free of clutter and having your tools organized! Every homeowner should seriously consider a shed. With proper planning, you can build a storage shed yourself. <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/building-your-own-shed/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The truth is, there really is only a small amount of radon gas emitted from granite, and normally the amounts are so low that they do not present a danger. <a class="more-link" href="http://yourdallashandyman.com/radon-gas-and-granite-countertops/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
