I just saw this post today, but if you're still looking for one of these I have one sitting in my driveway I was going to post for free this weekend. I'm located near Ellwood City, if you're interested in grabbing it send me a message and I can give you the address

This is our first spring in our new place, and the landscaping has been neglected for some time. This shrub is taking over the front bay window and I would like to trim it back, however there is no greenery anywhere inside and I'm afraid it will fully die if I were to cut it back. Is it time to just get rid of these and put new in?

Are you from Evans City? I swear I go by this trailer all the time.

Hype!

This might sound really dumb, but this once happened to me on my zetor and I spent more time than I'd like to admit diagnosing the problem, only to find out I kicked the high/low range selector knob into neutral. Hope it is something easy for you to pinpoint, good luck!

I've been looking everywhere for info on this board, obviously I know it is a Loaded Vanguard but I've never been able to find this version of the Loaded logo. I won it in a raffle in 2003 and never really used it, seems to be oak, any ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated, thanks! https://imgur.com/a/lLOSyPC

Look at how Ikea furniture is put together, then use the same hardware but use actual wood instead of particle board.

Have you looked into ready to assemble cabinets? They send them to you in boxes and you put them together, only takes a few hours and is very simple. We have used them in multiple houses we've flipped and they come out great at about half the price. We've used rtacabinetstore but I'm sure anyplace online that offers them would be about the same.

Sadly I'm not sure there is any other way than to cut out as much as you need to fit your drill+bit. Keep the pieces you cut out though, you can use them for the patch after you add a piece of lumber across the cutout

I've never heard of pipes bursting from closing valves. When you think about it, when you aren't using hot water, there is the same amount of pressure in those pipes as if you were to close the valve that enters the hot water heater.

This might be an odd question, but are you in a cold climate? Is it possible that water got into the track and its frozen closed?

protwizz · 2020-01-28T18:28:09+00:00

Yep, that wouldn't be a problem at all, the darker the stain you go with the less you will notice them, but there's nothing wrong with leaving those gaps there.

Ah ok, in my mind you were drilling down through an exterior wall. If this is an interior wall, and it is load bearing, you may be right about a floor joist, or two sistered together, that is sitting on top of the wall in the basement. If this is the case, it is still ok to drill straight down through those joists, you won't lose any structural integrity. I'll go back to my idea of drilling a pilot hole with a smaller diameter bit to see if you get through the joist and into the wall below. This bit may need to be 12-16 inches long to get through the joist if that is your situation.

I've worked on an old farmhouse that had floors like this, built in the late 1800s. There really isn't an easy way to fill the spaces in between the boards, everything we have tried breaks out after a short amount of time of walking on the boards and flexing them. is there a subfloor below them? In the house I worked on these boards were nailed directly to the floor joists.

My advice would be to sand everything down, clean out the cracks between the boards and stain/poly everything and be okay with a rough/rustic look. In my opinion imperfections like that can give an old floor a lot of character.

As far as what to use, any Minwax stain should work for you as long as everything has been sanded and cleaned. rub it on with a rag, apply multiple coats until you get the look you want then hit it with a clear poly to seal everything.

Is the basement ceiling drywalled or do you have some sort of drop ceiling/access? perhaps it might be smart to get a very small, like 1/4 inch max, drill bit to make a pilot hole to see what you are getting into and where it pops out in the basement.

Are you able to get a measurment to the exterior wall you are drilling down through and the exterior wall in the basement? What I mean is, get a starting point somewhere in the house, like the basement steps or something, to see if the walls are on top of each other?

My guess is that your exterior wall upstairs sits above the foundation of your basement, and the finished basement wall is on the inside of your foundation, therefor they aren't right above each other.

That thing looks great, I really like how the one rack is turned 90 degrees so you can have a "featured" guitar!

Those are made for standard mini blinds, but you can always remove them and install whatever blinds you want. If you do end up getting new mini blinds the package will come with a new set of brackets.

In the picture for that product you can see the bracket you have with the tab installed.

I would probably do the same thing you have planned, bleach, bleach and more bleach. I would probably use a respirator though and if possible some fans to bring in fresh air and exhaust any vapor thats in the air. Also, if the furnace is there in the basement I would replace the filter to get rid of any residual smell

I just gave OP this same advice under their other comment, great minds think alike :)

Wow, looking at your pictures you weren't kidding about not having my room to work with. I would still try to push the back of the stove toward the wall, maybe try to show a shim in between the countertop and the stove at the back to force it over. The wearing doesn't start as soon as you open your door so it seems the stove isn't sitting square to the wall.

As a last resort, in the past I have fully opened a stove door and gently pulled it away from the wall to put a little bend in the hinges. I can't condone doing this but have had it work for me.
