		<description><![CDATA[Emery cloth is a type of material with an abrasive quality, used primarily to smooth edges of copper piping. Every serious plumber has a roll of emery (or emory) cloth in their tool box. There really isn&#8217;t an alternative material out there; nor is it an option not to use it if you really want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having the right drill bit sizes on hand for your particular repair or building task is essential for any seasoned carpenter or weekend-DIY&#8217;er. Knowing just what size you need to use for the hole you&#8217;re making is also important, and it may not be totally evident at first glance. Finally, getting the right size  drill [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A riving knife is one of the most important &#8220;modern&#8221; safety components on electric saws. You&#8217;ll see them on table saws, circular saws and miter (chop) saws. It&#8217;s important for two reasons. One has to do with it&#8217;s actual job, and the other has to do with the behavior of the carpenter using a saw [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It goes without saying that engineered hardwood flooring is the most misunderstood type of flooring out there today. Some people think it&#8217;s &#8220;real&#8221; wood flooring, while others believe it to be manufactured, as if the word &#8220;engineered&#8221; is used to describe some man-made process to create a fake or faux wood floor.

		<description><![CDATA[The most effective ways to filter water are through materials that allow water to penetrate easily, but would be too small for anything else in the water to pass through. D.E. (or Diatomaceous Earth) does this incredibly well. Here&#8217;s why: To the naked eye, D.E. is a white powder that is porous to water. At [...]]]></description>

When these types of outdoor materials effloresce, it means that water has seeped through them (from one direction or another) and has come out the other side bringing with it certain types of salts. The water may evaporate, [...]]]></description>
