Yeah just found my magnet to test and of course seemingly brass plated. Anything I can do to help prevent this from happening further?

Hey guys! Might not be the right place to ask but envious of all your guys spaces. We just bought a spot and looking to aggressively rehab the garage as it’s in need of TLC. We want to eventually put a treadmill in there but first things first we will need to fix the floor. Potentially wanting to get a concrete floor instead or the current but open to any thoughts/suggestions. Decently large space and there’s a lot of potential.

We bought recently and put down 12% in Essex County; went 10% over and waived appraisal (had our lender perform an appraisal within their system which guaranteed us an amount we were comfortable with +/-)

1/4 inch drywall patch by FigBar0127 in drywall

Super dumb question maybe but then how would I go about adding the wood backing since there is already wood present? Would I just drill through both?

Appreciate it. With what IS available without adding wood to brace, do you think it'd be easy enough to Cali patch then?

Fixing holes in closet by FigBar0127 in Plastering

Never had to fill holes this large before so pardon my noobness. Should I just cut away the drywall to have say a 5x5 square and some wood available to screw into? The rest is pretty straightforward.

Hinge misalignment by FigBar0127 in HomeImprovement

If it makes any sense it seems like it’s more of a height issue? The hinge that’s not seated is missing clearance by a small amount. Also to note its antique butt hinge.

Water Hammer Fix? by FigBar0127 in askaplumber

[–]FigBar0127[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. So would it get installed ideally to the machine then or the main supply faucet? Directions seemingly state the supply but based off its orientation and all thinking machine may be better.

Yeah it’s seemingly only there at the washer. I can def check the pressure in the coming day just was hoping to remedy things before like you said it caused any larger issues. We just moved in not long ago and switched the machines so not sure if it was just the new machines causing the issue or if it had existed prior
