A reader asks about changing the color of laminated building board siding and the proper finish. The expert reply recommends using an exterior grade acrylic latex paint after cleaning grease and grime. The column also touches on basement asphalt tiles and avoiding polishing wax.
The article discusses why wax with solvents can damage asphalt tiles and how water based self polishing waxes can shine without buffing. It also advises cleaning floors before waxing and notes that powdered cement paint may only be used on unpainted masonry or surfaces previously finished with the same paint.

A buyer reveals how a house stayed on the market, lowering the price after months of no buyers. A real estate visit showed extensive basement dampness and water marks, indicating repeated flood damage.
A reader recounts deciding to buy after confirming basement flooding was caused by sunken soil directing water toward the foundation and lack of gutters. Installing gutters, downspouts, and drain tile, repacking soil, and keeping debris out prevented further floods over five years. Other homes may solve similar issues by similar fixes.
