8:17 am
that they can't come here and get school supplies. this is the way it's been decided works best. hopefully, these school supplies make their way to your school. thank you so much to volunteers of america. guys, back to you. >> thanks. hey, are you getting ready to do some work around the house today? we all know repainting a room can make a huge difference. >> painting the baseboards, that can be tough. up next in this team shows us two ways to
8:18 am
8:19 am
8:20 am
welcome to "fix this" presented by home advisor. the free and easy way to find the best home pros. >> hi everybody. so if you want to make a room in your house look like it's been remodeled, we know that painting is a huge trick. but one thing that can actually make it, take it to a whole new level is making sure you properly paint your baseboards. over time they can get scuffed, get dings and dents in them,
8:21 am
you two ways. you need a little knowledge, you need the equipment, and it's a little time consuming, but boy does to make it look fantastic. there are two ways you can repaint your baseboards. i will show you the outcome of both when we're done. a great tip is to use a high- gloss white paint. this will help keep off the scuffs and will make your room pop. for the first base board painting job you will need painter's tape, white glossy paint, paint pan, a paint pad, a paint brush, drop cloth to protect the floor. first, you can use painters tape to mark off the walls and floor. cover the floor with the drop cloth. use your paint pad to paint the flap portion of the baseboards. next use a paint brush to fill in the areas that the pad can't reach. let it dry and reapply until it's nice and new looking.
8:22 am
and carefully remove the painters tape. if you want to take it one step further to make your baseboards look more like brand new baseboards or if you have to resurface your floors, here is a secret the experts use. you will need an xacto knife, pry bar, hammer, needle nose pliers, safety gloves, a belt sander or sandpaper, wood filler, latex caulking, a small ruler, a drop cloth, and white take an xacto knife to break the caulking seal from the baseboards at the wall. use a pry bar to pry it loose from the wall. pry baseboards from underneath so you don't damage your walls. pull out the baseboards and once they are out you will need needle nosed pliers to pull out the nails. use the safety gloves and twist and pull the nails towards you to get them out. if you can't get them out that way, you can really cut them
8:23 am
baseboards. next step. use a lightly damp cloth to wipe down and get anything off of the baseboards. now sand down the baseboards to get out any rough edges. fill any holes or dents with wood filler. once the filler dries, sand again. now it's time to paint. over a drop roller to paint the baseboards. let that paint dry and add another coat until it's covered the way you like it. once the baseboard is dry, nail them back into the wall. if you don't have a nail gun, hammer in no-head nails and use another nail to tap it in past the wood. use caulking to finish it off at the top. run your finger over the caulking right away to make sure you have a smooth seam to the wall. put caulking over any nail holes and then you can cover
8:24 am
so the difference between the two is when you paint it directly on the wall, it looks good but not as great if you just take it out, do the work off site and put it back in. but, boy, if you don't have the equipment to do that or you don't have the time, you can just paint it directly on the wall and get a fantastic look. if you would like more information go to

8:27 am
good morning. we will be all broncos all the time sooner rather than later some when we can, we try to start the parts cast with something else like now beginning with baseball. rockies in washington to take on the nationals. let's take two for jeff hoffman. on the mound rocked by the best team in baseball. the cubs in his debut, he had to face the third best. the result the same. it wasn't quite as bad, though the start was worse. second batter of the jayson werth says see ya, and colorado will never catch up. the rockies lose their fourth in a row. final score was 8-5. monster match-up on the pitch between your rapids and real salt lake. the second and third best teams in the mls. rapids have a better record, but were they the better team last night?
8:28 am
the colorado rapids! >> fantastic. what a call, and what a goal. unfortunately, it would be the only goal for the rapids. real answered with two. colorado loses. the final was 2-1. all right. now the broncos. and i love what t.j. ward said about the denver d this week. quote, we can be better, but we won't have to be. the broncos believe in that offense, believe they will be better no matter who the qb might be. >> i just think we're better as a group, you know. we are a lot better don't want to rely on the defense too much, you know. i think we got comfortable with that last year. we want to do our part on this team also. >> our main focus is getting the running game going. all three quarterbacks can make every throw. once we get the running game going, the passing game will come. we will be ready. >> we are less than 12 hours away from the broncos and rams and less than a week away from the buffs and rams. and that game actually counts.
8:29 am
we just want to win game by game, and hopefully our fans don't talk too much smack if we win. but if we do, so be it. >> the fact that we're in the same state is like i want to win, you know? if i ever go down to boulder, i want to be able to hold my head up high and look you in your eyes, you know, give a little smirk. >> cu won that game last year, and this year they are favored by just over a touchdown. cannot wait. that will do
