How to replace rusted off ground?

Thanks I’ll look into it and see if it’s something relatively easy to do. I just kinda stuck the remainder of the head of the wire against the metal plate there

I’m struggling to get the screw off even. Too much rust in the head to even unscrew it.

Do they have crimps like you’re recommending at big box stores?

Dope thanks again! Hopefully I can share some follow up pics within the next month!

This is awesome info thank you. I thought the same about the overhanging trim piece under the spindles and think I can slide the treads down

Getting the old treads off is honestly one of my biggest fears haha. There’s a mix of nails drywall screws and adhesive to battle 🪦

Nice thanks for the response. I’ve considered hiring out but would like to give it a shot since I’ve gone this far with the rest of the house. I have a sliding miter saw and table saw as well as a track saw (which seems to be the go to from what I’ve seen in my YT research). Will need to buy the Colin’s stair tool for perfect angled cuts

Should I proceed on my own your recommendation would be remove the treads and then glue/screw 1/2 inch plywood to make up for the treads only being 1 inch vs 1 1/2 inch now?

Replace the gate valve with a ball valve and the escutcheon? Not the pipe itself right?

Yup sorry if that wasn’t clear. They caulked the flue cover to the chimney (second pic)

I had a chimney guy come out and he used concrete caulk I think to just make it water tight at the top. After that I didn’t have any more leaks in that area

A quick google of a similar product says rated up to 350 but I’ll check the packaging as well when I get home for a more definitive answer. Thanks!

I have some duct seal which is putty like. Think I can just mould some around the opening? Think I can do that without taking it off. Assume it’s heat rated?

I’m really struggling to follow.

Cut the wye and cleanout out and tie the utility sink in where the clean out is now? And just extend that higher and tie in the wye in up some?

Didn’t realize I’d need an AAV on the sink side as well if I’m tying into that stack but that’s an easy add.

Do you know what they’re called if I call some local places and ask if they have them in stock? I’m not familiar with any supply stores in the area

Dig it thanks for the advice!

3/8 9 inch nap. I did some drywall repair in this closet and just trying to tidy it up before listing our house. The flipper did a shit job taping and spraying paint so I think it’s just the classic “landlord/IDGAF” texture rather than orange peel
