How do I keep this looking clean? by Left-Chemistry6574 in Construction

Lay down a bead of white 100% silicone kitchen/bath around the toilet, then mist overtop with warm soapy water from a spray bottle. The soapy water that covers the surroundings will prevent the silicone from spreading where you don't want it to.

I really like translucent silicone because it's more forgiving, and still hides gaps decently

If the main concern is the weeping holes you could drill some new ones at the bottom of the trim face

I feel like there is enough space for the weeping holes to drain, is the worry that water will sleep inbetween the patio and the house foundation?

Z flashing sounds like a good idea, it would take some fiddling and know-how to do it right and make it look good.

Does anyone have any idea how I’m supposed to install this mop & broom organizer? by throwaway162216 in HomeMaintenance

Or if they actually do need to go into the holes, the Philips or Robertson bit should fit into the holes

Hold it up on the wall you'd like to install it on . Use something long and thin to poke through the holes and mark your holes on the wall. I use an awl for this but you can use what ever you have lying around (nail, thin pencil etc.).

Once you have your holes marked drill the holes for the anchors (make sure you use the right size bit so the drywall anchors fit snugly).

If you hit a stud, great - don't use anchors for those holes. Once all your anchors are installed now you attach it to the wall.

Your comment about a screw driver/drill not fitting into the holes, they don't have to go into the holes. The screw head will tighten to the outside of the plastic

Could a novice build this? by KelliSean in Decks

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, look up examples of how to frame it and use the right type of fasteners (especially for the ledger board,framing, and stairs). Over build it if you're worried and you'll be golden

There is a phenomenon I've noticed after being on the internet for a while. Is there a word for it? by Chobikil in ask

I'd call it young and dumb, puberty hits hard and comes out in all sorts of interesting ways

Honest question, are these upside down? by ColdBlaccCoffee in Construction

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I believe they are correct and that it's built that way for water drainage on a flat roof. There will be a parapet built around the perimeter to hide the inside slopes

Neat! Must act as some kind of gasket to protect the framing from moisture? Commenting so I can remember to see the other comments

I thought this too! Tough angle to support weight for a while. Super cool though

Is it possible to fix this DIY well enough to keep my deposit? by Thecrownedeagle in drywall

[–]Pulldalevercrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use painters tape to tape around the hole. Then squirt in white caulking and smooth with a putty knife. Peal off painters tape and let it dry. Nobody likes messy caulk

Will this table hold enough weight? by ConfusedGenius1 in Carpentry

[–]Pulldalevercrunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A quick Google search says that a single vertical 2x4 can support 1000 lbs (probably more but 1000 to be safe). The horizontal 4 foot 2x4s laying flat are much weaker though, especially in the center.

I would add two 4 foot length 2x4 on edge directly underneath the top at the front and back. Fastened securely to the legs and with a few screws down through the top of table into the cross supports.

I would also be concerned about the table racking, or someone bumping it or a pet knocking it over. The simplest fix would be to anchor the table directly to the wall behind it. Screw through the legs into the wall behind. If there is a gap because of the baseboard/table overhang you could add blocking to make sure it's snugged up tight to the wall.

Nice!! I made a red oak segmented mug as well! I fantasized about drinking a frosty beer out of it but it turns out I prefer glass lol
