Syracuse, NY -- The trial for a Syracuse man accused of shooting a handyman to death during an attempted robbery in May 2013 is set to begin later this month.

Lynnquan Kellam, of 622 West Brighton Ave., was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the death of Arthur D. Bullock.

Bullock was shot and killed while trying to help two men being robbed on his front porch, Syracuse police said at the time.

Bullock, 54, of 142 Fage Ave., walked out onto his front porch at about 1:50 a.m. May 31. He found his friends being robbed, Fowler said.

The robber, who police said was Kellam, then confronted Bullock. They fought and Bullock was shot in the head. He later died at Upstate University Hospital, according to police. Kellam and Bullock were strangers, police said.

Kellam's case will go to trial beginning July 21 in Onondaga County Judge Joseph Fahey's court. Fahey expects the trial to last more than a week. Jury selection will be begin at 10:45 a.m. July 21.

Defense lawyer Don Kelly argued in December 2013 that his client was also shot during the same attempted robbery. He said Kellam was grazed by a bullet to his shoulder.

The murder of Bullock, a popular handyman among his neighbors led to grief and fear after his death.

I cant tell you how many great questions we had on the email this week. I want to share all of them with you. Hopefully they answer some of the questions around your house.

Question 1: My neighbor has gutters and was continually having problems with leaves and gunk weighing down the gutters. So he decided to have gutter screens put on. I was shocked about the cost of the gutter screens. I have gutters also. I like them because they put the recent rain we have in the spot that I want it. I have problems with leaves also, but will NOT put screens on at the cost that he did. You always come up with great products that save me money. What about this one Johnnie?

Answer: Well there is a alternative to expensive gutter screens, and you can Do It Yourself. I like to call it Not In My Gutter but it is really called gutter screens. They come in two colors white and brown, and they cost $2.99 for 3 feet of screening. So if you need 100 feet of screen, it will cost you less than $100. So simple to install, just slip under the shingle, and snap over the gutter. Thats it! Say goodbye to leaves and junk clogging up the gutters and put that much needed rain in the rain barrel to use later. Call me or email me and I will tell where to get them.

Question: Please help me. I have a covered patio and every morning I have FROG poop at the back door. There is a small crack in the foundation between the garage door and the frogs hide there. I am so tired of cleaning frog poop. I have tried that Dog and Cat repellant, but it doesnt keep them away. Johnnie please help me get rid of the frog and his POOP.

Answer: OK, this is a new question for me. First let clear up the crack in the foundation. Use a product that comes in a caulking tube called Slab. Just fill in the crack and let it cure. Its the only one that has superior adhesion and flexibility. And you can fill in wide cracks. Smooth it out with a plastic putty knife. Just use soap and water to clean up. Then I want you to use something else to repel the frogs. Its something that we use for repelling birds. Its sticky, so only put it at where they are coming in and around that area. You can smooth it out, they wont like the way it feels and so they wont come back. The product is called Bye Bye Birdie. I think that this will keep the frogs (and poop) away. If you are still having a problem call me.

Question: Last night our sweet grandson thought he was helping me polish the furniture. I wasnt watching and he polished my table with a rock that we had brought him. The scratches are very light and have not gone down below the stain. However you can definitely see the scratches. What would be the right way to fix this? I will be watching our grandson a little closer from now on HA!

Answer: Lets use the Restore A Finish first. Use a soft rag and wipe across the whole table and not just on the scratched area. This will give you a complete look. After it dries, use the Feed and Wax to add protection. Give us a call and we can send you a color chart on the Restore A Finish.

Question: I have two hairline cracks in the bottom of my Jacuzzi tub. I dont want to remove the tub because I have had estimates on this and its real expensive. Is there a way to fix the cracks so I can use the tub?

Answer: I want you to use the Plumbers Goop. Its a clear adhesive that will stretch and stick to the tub. I want you to stand in the tub to put weight on the cracks so they will be at their widest. Fill in the cracks and smooth them out the best you can. It wont be a transparent fix but atleast you will be able to use the tub and the cracks wont get any worse. Let the Goop cure for 24 hours before using the tub again.

Question: I have a home in Costa Rica and the shower doors are completely caked with lime from hard water. What can I do? I dont want to replace them.
