Thank you slownsteady and jeffmattero76 I will give your suggestions a try.

What caulk would you recommend for cracks in a concrete garage floor that are up to 1/2" wide(Please see attached photos of crack)? I would like a caulk that is plyable, so that it will move if the crack shifts. The house is over 20 years old and to my knowledge the crack has not changed for...

How do I build side support for a bench seat in a breakfast nook? I want to build a bench seat in a breakfast nook in my kitchen but I do not want the seat to come out the full length of the side walls. I want the front edge of the seat to come mid-length of the side wall. The side walls are...

Thank you both for your posts. I contacted the glass guru. They quoted me a price of $225/window to repair the rotted sections. Is it out of the question to think I can cut wood stock to match the sashes of my windows and replace the whole frame of each of my windows? If so, what material...

Does anyone know how to identify a window manufacturer? My house was built in the late 1980s. The windows are casement windows(crank out stile/Anderson-type). Ideally I would like to find the manufacturer and hopefully buy frame molding in order to repair wood rot to some of the frames. The...

I do not know who to call for this type work. After I got the glue off, I used Muriatic Acid in an attempt to etch the concrete and get to a cleaner surface. After I finished cleaning, I then applied a couple coats of Behr 1-part epoxy acrylic concrete and garage floor paint. It has been down...

I am replacing a Genie OCG Series Python Model #WKYRPI309848 garage door opener with a Chamberlain PD752DS. I want to use the existing wiring from the Genie for the safety reversing sensors. Any suggestions on matching up the wiring? The Genie motor has three screws to attach wires coming...

Thanks! The blower motor is mounted on rails and held in place with sheet metal screws. I was able to remove the motor. I did have to move some wires after I diagramed them on a sheet of paper, and labeled them with masking tape. I plan to pick up a replacement motor and capacitor today and...

How do you take out a furnace blower motor? I have an Air Ease(I believe it is made my Armstrong) furnace. I want to replace the blower motor and the motor capacitor. Motor is pulling too many amps. I can see the motor when I remove the access panel in the front. Is the motor on a rail...

I have a Sears brand de-humidifier that is not working properly. I have the LED set @ 70%. The appliance runs 24/7 but only partially fills the bucket each day. When I first got the appliance, it would filll the bucket at least daily. I vacuumed the filter. I notice the top left corner of...

I think I'm back in business. I installed a new defrost thermostat yesterday. I also tested the defrost timer. I put everything back together and plugged it in yesterday and this morning the freezer is @ 0 degrees F. and the refrigerator is @ 39 degrees F. and I have ice! Thanks.

woodchuck: I think my defrost thermostat is bad because it is misshapen, and also, when I bypassed it and connected the two wires plugged into it the defrost heater came on. I have a follow-on question about the defrost timer. Once I install the new defrost thermostat, may I wind the...

Thanks for the info woodchuck! I will look into it.

I have a Maytag self defrosting refrigerator(Bottom Freezer, Top Refrigerator). A while ago the refrigerator stopped cooling. I adjusted the temperature setting to the coldest setting and it still did not cool. I noticed the vents on the back wall in the freezer were frosted up so I unplugged...

How do you loosen a stuck bathtub faucet valve? I have an old style bathtub faucet with the three knobs(hot, cold, diverter) and shower head. I DO NOT have access to the faucet from behind the shower wall. I can get to the nut on the valve, but I am afraid if I horse on it I may break...

Thank you for your post.

May I inspect the Anode Rod on a gas water heater myself? I just had a SEARS Kenmore water heater(MODEL NO 153.331572, 50 Gallon) installed and I want to do preventive maintenance. The Owner's Manual(p.26) says 'Inspection should be conducted by calling the Sears Service Center for an...

Thanks. Will let everyone know how things turn out.

I applied Beanedoo on a small section of the floor and left it until it dried. I then was able to remove MOST of the glue with a drill using a wire brush attachment. The total area I am working on is ~ 200 sq ft. I applied a second coat to what was remaining on the small section and let it...

I think I am going to try the Franmar Beanedoo. Thanks to all!
