I have a slate tile floor inside the front entrance to my house. Some mortar against the doorstep and sidelight has crumbled and is easily removed, but it's such a small amount that I'm hoping I can...
-
A miracle!! I happened to locate the flexible product in brown at menards.com although the mfr. said previously that it's only available in white. I checked with the mfr. again and was told it's...

I'm looking for top and sides weatherstrip for a residential wood 7' x 16' brown garage door. The side jambs and top header have wood moulding (casing) on them and the flat part of the moulding that...
-
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll look further for a clear product.
-
I meant to say the original mortar is brown. The brown caulks I've seen are not for use on masonry. The masonry caulks are white or gray. That's the problem.
-
The chimney on my roof has some cracked bricks. The chimney cap, crown, and flashing are fine. In the past I used silicone masonry caulk to seal cracks as advised by a mason, but the caulk is...
-
A friend of mine passed away last December. I had been named executrix of his will and sole beneficiary. His estate is insolvent and I paid the funeral director myself. I wanted to be sure...
-
The chimney on my roof needs repointing and some of the bricks are cracked and need to be replaced. I have roughly the same number of unused bricks (left over from the original construction) as...
-
I have a 16' overhead wood garage door with 5 horizontal panels. The 4th panel (from the top) aligns with the 5th panel nicely where they meet, but projects inward almost 3/8" where it meets the 3rd...
-
Well, I'm back. I received the original will from the lawyer and the staples had been removed and replaced. I knew from my research that this is not okay for obvious reasons. The lawyer who sent...
-
I did several Google checks and have found no listing of this lawyer anywhere. The lawyer who prepared the will passed away in 2010 and I finally located this firm as having the deceased lawyer's...
-
As I mentioned, the lawyer I already spoke to (who sent me the original will and would be willing to handle opening probate, negotiating with the funeral director, and closing probate) told me if I...
-
I was thinking that. But isn't he likely to ask me for the same information to probate the will? I'd like to be as prepared as possible.
-
I'm now in possession of my friend's original will and 2 certified death certificates. Today I located a Small Estate Settlement Form (Affidavit of Voluntary Administration) from the New York State...
-
Since I'm getting conflicting information I think I'll have the will admitted for probate myself and file a Small Estate Affidavit, too. I also plan to negotiate with the funeral director. My...
-
I'm sorry about the confusion. Nothing has changed. I don't understand the process or terminology and I want to be sure I'm doing everything correctly. I don't think I need the lawyer. What...
-
I don't understand. I thought I have to take the original will and certified death certificate to Probate Court and get the Letter of Appointment within 30 days of death. Isn't that required?
-
Thank you for the encouragement. I have another question. Is it necessary for me to file a Small Estate Affidavit since there was a will and I'm the sole beneficiary? I'm finding conflicting...
-
I'm making progress. I located the lawyer with the will and he agreed to send it to me with the files return receipt requested (of course). He said it will be a mess if the USPS loses it, but I'll...
-
I'm willing to do it myself. I have a copy of the will before it was signed and notarized. My relationship to my friend is friend. What is TOD? Thank you for your comments.
-
My friend passed away last week. He had a will in which I was named Executrix and sole beneficiary. His estate is very small--several thousand dollars in a checking account and no other assets or...

The pressure treated lumber should dry out for a month or so before installing, right? Should something be applied to the seams where the plywood sections meet before installing the sheet vinyl?
-
My house is a tri-level. The 3rd level down is 30" below grade and on a concrete slab covered with 1x4 sleepers with solid foam panels between them and then a 1/2" plywood subfloor on top of them...
-
Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
-
Toilet runs fine except for occasional need for plunging. Septic guy wouldn't pursue the plumbing aspect further--will only do outdoor stuff. Have yet to find a trustworthy plumber, which is why I'd...
-
One of the toilets in my house seems to need plunging more than it should. It's been suggested that I replace it, but I'd like to know if that's necessary. The toilet sits on vinyl flooring on a...
-
I installed a new water inlet valve so it didn't need to be cleaned. I assume that's the filter screen inside the washer that Milo is referring to. Just for "fun," since the hot water was coming in...
-
Well, I just replaced the water inlet valve in the washer and the supply lines and I still have the same problem. Hot water is fine, but no cold water enters the washer. I don't have a way to send...
-
My concerns are size, since I don't know what 1/2" or 3/4" refers to on the valves I've looked at (I think they're boiler drain angle valves), and whether the existing valve is soldered in, which...
-
I removed the cold hose from the back of the machine to see if it was clogged and water kept pouring out of the hose. That's how I found out the cold shutoff valve on the wall wasn't working, since...
-
The valve is installed horizontally with its base nearly against the sheetrock wall, maybe 1/16" of threaded shank showing. The handle itself is parallel to the wall with the faucet below at an...
-
The valve(s) I have are the old-fashioned kind with a round metal handle. Is it likely to be a ball valve (ie, requiring complete replacement to work properly)? If I have the option, I'd like to...
-
I did check the screens, but maybe not as carefully as you suggest. I'll check again as part of my education. I ordered a new water inlet valve for the washer and industrial braid fill hoses, just...
-
My Maytag clothes washer (model number SAV4655EWW) was purchased in Nov. 2005. Yesterday it allowed hot water in, but no cold. I unscrewed the cold water hose where it attaches to the back of the...
-
Thank you for your input. Sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure I can manage it because of difficulty reaching down to access the holes and my lack of experience. I thought using the pavers, buttered...
-
When my house was built in 1971, the cement block foundation was extended forward about 4" to accommodate a future stone front. Shingles (now rotted) were nailed at an angle overlaying the tops of...
-
I did some searching for parts with no luck and just ordered a new dehumidifier a little while ago. Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.
-
My GE dehumidifier model #ADER65LPQ1 is 3 years old and has worked fine until this week. The bucket doesn't collect water and when I try to set a different humidity % it holds for a second and then...

The new trap arm (wall tube) is 1-1/4", just like the old corroded one, and slips easily into the 1-3/8" inside diameter liner (that I can't remove) with room to spare. The old trap arm apparently...
-
There's no clearance whatsoever to allow a skinny screwdriver or even the point of an X-acto blade to locate a gap between the ABS pipe and the liner. The outside diameter of the ABS pipe is 2-1/4"....
-
I finally was able to unscrew the metal connecting nut. The metal liner I mentioned earlier that is inside the ABS pipe is a uniform depth of around 1-1/2" and not corroded at all. I can't grab it...
-
Okay. I'll try to describe what I'm looking at. (Unfortunately, I can't take a picture of it.) The black plastic pipe inside the wall has an O.D. of 2-1/4" and a smooth surface until it reaches...
-
Even though the ring and drain tube were bonded, the ring had to be attached separately from the top, since the drain tube underneath has a Y in it to accommodate the drain plug mechanism and has to...
-
The new connector I got when I bought the pipe is lightweight zinc, but the one I have to remove is solid and heavy (and 44 years old). I don't think I can cut it.
-
I've replaced a bathroom faucet and want to replace the p-trap beneath it, since the metal tube going into the connector on the wall fell out and is badly corroded on the end. (There had been no...
-
Cutting the pipe was the only way. It worked well and it's obvious that the pipe and ring are solidly together. Thank you all for your suggestions.
-
The pipe is loose. It's the ring above the drain that I can't get off so I can back the pipe down.
-
The cutting was what I hoped to avoid. Thank you for the suggestions.
-
Yes, I cut the washer, but the ring won't budge. Maybe after 44 years that's not surprising.
