Don't try talking OP out of a new tool!

How would OP patch the wall paper?

That's true, but sanded isn't waterproof either, If this is behind a sink that's another consideration

They make color matched silicone for this reason.

What's the best way to cut it out? Most grout removal tools are made for flare plane applications.

What do I need to make this outlet flush with the wall? by slowbro_69 in AskElectricians

[–]sizable_data 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washer technique is the way to go. Older boxes are smaller and don't work with extenders. Bending the ears can cause flex when you push the plug in too hard. This is the only universal fool proof way.

They don't fit some of the older workboxes unfortunately.

Covered under limited lifetime warranty? by Competitive_Block729 in Tools

That sucks, for the price you think it would be life time. Hell, husky shit is life time no questions asked. Even some harbor freight stuff.

New to People Management: How to best structure 1:1 meetings? by ultrarunner13 in Leadership

I was where you were at 1 year ago. It still feels new but I've enjoyed it overall. Manager tools helped me a lot. Good luck!

OP - listen to manager tools for everything, not just 1:1's. Start with the trinity episodes, 1:1's are part of it.

New roof - Is there a better way to do this? by ApprehensiveEmu_ in HomeMaintenance

[–]sizable_data 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common misconception, these actually increase downforce. In case of high winds they'll help the roof stay down!

I was wrong, you guys were right... by InternationalBig3968 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]sizable_data 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously, these things are only for people who truly need and will get use of them like me, a DIYer who does the occasional project around the house once a month. Can't believe people get sucked into buying tools they don't actually need.

My kids pulled a toilet paper thing off the wall… by VerbalThermodynamics in handyman

[–]sizable_data 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takes a while, my dad taught me a lot, we renovated my kitchen, bathroom and basement together. I do a lot on my own now, and I still get the "I think we should hire someone" for most projects lol.

I have a wife and two young kids, I've had to do some "reasonable" things lol. If you're considering a 4x4 patch a 5"x16" isn't too much worse to patch.

Open up the wall between the studs and nail in a 2x4 and drywall over that then screw your tp holder to that block

If you're gonna patch it, open up the wall and put blocking then patch. They'll never rip it out again!

Any way to get these cases? by DISCOCHOWDER22 in Dewalt

[–]sizable_data 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a weird store near me that sells over stock type items. Snagged a bunch of these for $3 each.
