Our handyman Paul Schramm insists water is really the worst thing for your home.

In this case, it caused wood outside of the home to rot.  But Paul has a quick, permanent fix for our homeowner.

"She’ll never ever have a problem again after we’re done,” Schramm said.

You don’t need a professional but you will need to mix up some epoxy solutions you buy from the hardware store.

Watch the video to get started.

Items you’ll need: Latex gloves, wood consolidate (ex. Liquid Wood), wood epoxy filler (ex. Plastic Wood or Wood Epox), putty knife or bondo applicator, hammer or crowbar.
