My only comment is:
why do websites always deploy the annoying facebook popups?
I despise facebook - and would never trust the site with any data.

Whew! What a bad install! I think I would pull the whole thing out - determine what the heck keeps it from fitting flush, then re-install or replace. Just caulking around the protrusion is gonna take a boat load of caulking - and it will be difficult to get a thorough seal all the way around. Also, ...

First - I feel your pain! WHen I bought my place, the fool who set it piled from 12" up two 2 feet of dirt up against the skirting. Behind the skirting was a hodge-podge of wickets and pickets to keep it all from collapsing. And then along came a big, big rain...and it did. It was one heck of a...

Have you considered steel posts with wood covering? I enjoy working with wood - but there is something to be said for the strength and endurance of steel especially when it is in contact with the ground.

... I originally posted my quest to understand terminology and function about HVAC plenums. In the meantime, I've had 4 HVAC contractors come out and give me a bid to replace everything between the blower unit and the vents. We all know the ducting sucks in mobile homes - so why keep taping and patc...

Make sure they wear a mask when they do the wire brushing!


As a note: If you ever need to paint glass.....XIM will do it and stay put.

If it's not the asphalt....

You can either Kilz it....or Sherwin Williams carries XIM. XIM will stick/seal virtually anything. If its a moldy black dirt looking stuff - soft wire brush it, then XIM it.

Usually a rented sprayer will have at least 50ft of hose. Set up the rig near an exit door - and do your testing outdoors. As for the paint, do not thin it. Ceiling paint has additional "chalk" in it - and adding water will only make the wet paint 'heavier' and take longer to dry. Again, t...

Basically - if it ain't moving - you can paint it! :D The trick to using a sprayer is don't stop moving while the paint is flowing . You can end up with a buildup blob pretty quick. That said... You HAVE to wear a respirator and goggles to do this! If you don't have a head mask....use a ball cap and...

I replaced all of my windows via special order at HD. There was no extra charge for the sizing or the special order. They are vinyl, have held up very well, and cut my utilities by almost half. The old junk single panes popped out easily after removing the trim, and the new ones slid into place with...

I would think raising it up would have to be done in small (1-2"?) increments. Even with another set of jacks, you can't raise it all at once...so going up would be one point at a time. That one point would be supporting a tremendous amount of weight - and I'm not sure the impact of those force...

Is this just a tub or a tub/shower enclosure? If it is a tub/shower, it probably has the plastic walls as well, so do as Greg recommended and cut the existing unit into pieces for removal. Once the 'tub' and 'wall panels' are removed, you should have access to all of the plumbing as the original bui...

Was wondering if you did the "paper bag" floor? I pulled up the carpet in a bedroom that I converted to an office space. I put down the Pergo flooring planks...and while it looks ok - the wheels on my office chair seem to cause it to move. Hence, i have a raised 'lip' smack in the center o...

"very simple even if there was a wall stud in the way" And therein is the root of my disgust for the idiots who dare call themselves 'engineers' or 'architects' when it comes to planning the builds. They design a bathroom, they layout exactly where the tub will be - and then put a 2x4 smac...

Ah yes! I remember that! The idiots who built this place used 1 drywall screw to hold the whole shebang in place. I guess its important to note they used a 2" screw at the molded elbow thing where the shower head screws in...and screwed it in about 1/4". Naturally, thanks to gravity, the w...
