RE: Painting bathroom sink

Depending on the surface material there are refinish paints available but they do not hold up well and usually look worse in the end.
Try to find a replacement at a rehab store. If you are lucky you should be able to get a sink in a counter top that is close to the size you need at a reasonable price.

Your decision is made. It's your site. We are good with that. Since we are not directly challenging or...

RE: Agree to DisAgree

DigitalDreams I for one concur. Although I have no formal education in any trades there is no single trade that I have not performed multiple times over the past 35 year of home ownership. I do not throw money at contractors when I know with a little (sometimes a lot) of research I am able to learn ...

RE: Mods: Need a sticky

Why only electrical and gas. What about giving advice about working on a roof or leveling a home. These activities could also get individuals seriously injured. It would be far better in my opinion,considering the simplicity of the questions asked, to direct the individuals to a question and answer ...

RE: The librarian just dissed me!

I like the sound of "Estates".

Ours is in the country with many small villages in the area so
"PineRidge Village" is quaint and fitting for the area.

RE: toilet? broken flange below subfloor & hole too big

Is it possible to remove a small section of the floor under the toilet area. You would only have to remove a section back to the center of the surrounding floor joists/new supports and drop in a new floor piece with the proper size hole cut in it.

RE: MH in park vs move to private land

Our park is a adult only community. The majority of the community being older, and many single, are here because of the community support.
Many have moved here to reduce costs and the responsibilities associated with larger homes and land.

Maybe the government should skim some money off of the 17 Billion dollar annual NASA budget.

RE: The librarian just dissed me!

What I am asking is, when telling others where home is do you refer to it as the Trailer Court, Mobile Home Park, Manufactured Home Community, XXX Village, XXX Park etc. What do the kids in the community refer to it as. The reason I ask is because it seems to vary by community and by geography. I pr...

RE: roof vents

I have never heard of what you describe causing a water problem.
My guess would be they are not properly installed and as a result have leaked.

RE: Sink drain

I assume the stopper is the type that is permanently in the sink and operated from above with a rod. If this is the case look under the sink and you will see a connection from that rod into the back of the drain pipe. Unscrew the rod from the drain pipe and remove it. The stopper should now lift out...
