PREPARE THE SINK FOR THE NEW FAUCET (PART 3 OF 4 FAUCET Part 3: Clean up the sink YUCK! Once you remove the faucet from the sink, you may be quite shocked at the mess it has left behind. Years of cleaning and wear tends to leave a "ring" where the faucet once was. The bases of all the older and many new faucets are set with plumber's putty, which must be removed before the new faucet isinstalled.
ARE TANKLESS WATER HEATERS A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR YOU? Dear MD, I think tankless water heaters are great, but have some limitations that make them unsuitable for some users. They were originally designed to be used in situations where a tank is undesirable and/or inefficient, such as a building with very minimal hot water demand. They are more commonly used overseas than in the US,probably because

DOOR PAINTING ISSUES QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS It sounds like moisture intrusion and you might find out if there is any overhead protection to the elevation the door is on. Yes he/she should definitely paint all the edges especially the top and bottom. I even go so far as to paint under the hinges and in the bore hole for the knob, deadbolt and strikes. WASHING MACHINE HOSE SELECTION, INSTALLATION AND Put a little plumber's grease on the threads of the faucet, the connector, and on the rubber washer. Make sure the rubber washer is fully seated inside the hose connector. Thread the connector onto the faucet fully. Then, give it another turn with your pliers until strongresistance is felt.
DRILLING HOLES IN CORIAN AND OTHER SOLID SURFACE MATERIALS The drilling is done in two steps. First, drill a locator hole through the countertop at each of the three marks. This hole should be just slightly smaller than the size of the pilot bit of your hole saw. Using these holes as guides, use a sharp hole saw to enlarge the holes to 1 3/8 inches the standard size.

CLEANING OR BRIGHTENING PLASTIC LAMINATE KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS The first thing would be to find a suitably-sized cutting board. A piece of butcherblock would be ideal provided it is at least 1 1/2" thick. First, prepare the cutting board by cutting a notch around the perimeter of the bottom about 3/4" wide by 3/4" deep. This notch is called an edge rabbet.

We want to install self-adhesive tiles. I was told this should not be a problem by one person (the fellow at the home improvement store), then someone else (the guy who was trying to talk me into having his group do the professional installation) told me that I needed to put down more plywood then install the tiles. GARAGE DOOR IS HARD TO OPEN AND DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE If you have a garage door opener, use it to open the door and then unplug it to prevent accidental activation!! There should be very little movement in the pulleys except their rotation. If they do not turn smoothly or wobble, replace them. The stationary pulleys get the most wear, because the cable exerts sideways force on them (graphicleft).
