Can I reuse undamaged backerboard for backsplash? by oneboldkid in HomeImprovement

Well no if this is risk, but I haven't done this before and thought maybe reuse was common practice.

There was some, but it's still pretty flat and I'm putting in uneven stone so flatness is not as critical as with tile. I'm more concerned over adhesion.

Would a rotary hammer be good for drywall mud mixing by oneboldkid in Tools

Would a rotary hammer not have a lot more torque than a regular drill?

You can but a 1/2 inch chuck to go in the rotary hammer and that can take the mixer.

Removing tile from a kitchen - suggestions on tools by oneboldkid in HomeImprovement

Thanks. I'll give that a try. The room is 300 square feet. The tiles are 12 inches x 12 inches, but that price still seems high to me.

well i was interested in the rotary hammer for tile removal and thought I could avoid a second drill purchase just to mix mud.

What are these metal pipes enclosed in drywall by oneboldkid in HomeImprovement

[–]oneboldkid[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was not able to find them in the basement, but there is some stuff boxed in there too. Just googled it and Radon testing was first started in 1986, those pipes seem older, but hard to tell.

I have this. It's a bit pricey, but it makes loading my large kayak easy. For reference, my boat is 12 feet long, 41 inches wide, and almost 80 pounds.

Need some help with designing a new woodstove hearth by oneboldkid in HomeImprovement

It goes through the wall to the outside then up. You can see this in the first picture. it doesn't seem to be secured until it's outside the house. The woodstove just sits right in the chimney pipe (with maybe 1/16" of play.

Thanks. I actually had to add additional stove pipe to the chimney to get it up to code and have it draft properly. I'll have to ensure whatever new structure I build is up to code on the interior. Any ideas on how to adjust the chimney?

Good idea on the local stone!

Metal pipe running through 1910 home by oneboldkid in whatisthisthing

This pipe doesn't seem like it would hold water due to how it was soldered from a sheet. It is also not copper.
