Sagging refrigerator doors can cause issues in the future, such as a buildup of frost inside the freezer compartment or mold in the fresh-food compartment caused by condensation.

Outdoor structures and hardware are subject to water intrusion and corrosion, so take care in the selection of materials, and the installation. Check with local building officials about specific height requirements and other regulations that may apply to railings.

Propane tanks are a part of many homes because they provide efficient, affordable fuel. These tanks are often buried underground, making them invisible to homeowners and guests. If your tank is aboveground, you'll want to camouflage it so it doesn't stand out. This can be done by obscuring the propane tank with landscaping. You can also have your propane tank put underground at a later date if you want access to its space in the yard.
