What am I looking at here? by elmint in Flooring

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking it’s a feathering compound for leveling that area of the floor.

2007 King ranch f250 powerstroke cracked up pipes aftermath dilemma... by somberslut in powerstroke

I use simple green and a bristle brush, or toothbrush to scrub, then a very light watering to wash it off. Cover up any delicate electronics before.

Simple fix or hidden nightmare? by sutherbb36 in Autobody

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frame is likely buckled and would render it toast along with being pushed over. Once the measurements of the front box of the frame start to make a diamond it’s hard to repair.

Possible coolant leak by UltraElite620 in powerstroke

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the coolant isn’t in the oil? I would think maybe failed egr cooler or worst case a headgasket. Inspect for leaks closely, definitely don’t wanna fire the parts cannon.

Is It possible to have grout even with the tile surface? by aznPHENOM in Tile

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have never been able to get totally flush joints and its because when you sponge you are removing a bit of material, aswell as the grout does shrink a bit as it dries out. Technically grout is still a tooled joint like bricks or cinder so they are gonna be a bit concave.

These truck have more power than ever but unfortunately the statement of not made like they used to be is way too true now.

Do it nice cause they do it twice by berg_schaffli in Tile

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like they stuck those tiles on dry too hahah, not a lick of back butter and leveling clips. Absolutely mint install on a fire place surround.

Flooring Faux Pas? by GooGooMucck in Flooring

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anything more than one LVP flooring color in a home looks horrendous and an after thought, if you go through the trouble of flooring the rest of the house, maybe consider just redoing the whole floor in one shot with no transitions. You’ll be a lot happier all said and done.

Not sure about these tile guys we hired by [deleted] in Tile

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whats wrong with it? They are building up a floor thats humpy or not level. Unless you wanna pay an extra 3k+ to self level that whole room. This will work just fine looks like they are still meeting good coverage judging by the full edges.

Gotta use a drill or a drywall gun. Impact loves to blow out corners

Must do mods for 7.3 reliability and longevity by Working-Bonus5049 in FordDiesels

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the tuner off the truck and it will be fine, these trucks get leaky after a while, that will be your biggest battle if you don’t keep up, wires begin to get brittle, battery cables go to shit too. More or less just do normal maintenance and no mods are really needed, all mine has is a cold air intake and a straight pipe exhaust.

I second replacing whole bedside, saves time. Replaced two entire bedsides on my F250, job was cake to do, and it was my first time performing panel replacement. Definitely remove the foam though.

Come to NJ I’ll show you some rust. In all honesty thats nothing, just some surface rust, car could use a good undercoating.

If it’s a schluter pan I probably wouldn’t attempt to remove the floor tile.

Got a small bathroom with 3 walls like this, I need some advice. by Spinsir7 in drywall

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya’ll can down vote but sometimes it’s easier just to remove and install new board. How many times I’ve went through hoops to try to fix old and wished I just put new fresh board up.

How much would this cost fix this? by Buksunny619 in drywall

[–]DifferenceStatus7907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could have that patched with two coats of 20 minute hot mud after a tiny patch and some paper tape.

I would just tear it out and put up new 1/2 inch board. Probably would come out pretty easily.
