The2023 Oscars have come and gone and the debates are raging. If you’re a busy parent, and you haven’t watched Michelle Yeoh’s unstoppable Everything Everywhere All At Once (streaming on Paramount+) you really should. But, what about movies for kids?

Aluminum siding was one of the most popular siding options in the United States from the 1940s to the 1970s. It is lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to rot and pests. However, it does need to be painted every 10 years or so to stay looking good. “You can absolutely paint aluminum siding,” says Rachel Otto from Fleury Lumber. “But it’s a little different than painting wood.” The color can also be changed and updated to suit a homeowner’s preference.

By Daniel Walker | April 2, 2024 Jon Stewart responds to hypocrisy backlash Comedian Jon Stewart was accused of hypocrisy after it was revealed he overvalued his New York City home by 829% when selling it in 2014, just as he had ridiculed former President Donald Trump for similar property valuation issues.

12 / 16 Improve Your Sink Insulate and soundproof an aluminum sink by spraying the underside with spray foam, paying particular attention to the gap between sinks. If you do this while the sink is installed, ensure you are wearing safety equipment and prepare the area beneath the sink for drips. 13 / 16 Photos: Courtesy of Demilec Shore Up Concrete Problems Spray foam really is a magical tool for household insulation, but it’s also useful outdoors to help fix concrete and pavement.
