    Loctite Fast Grab not setting?

    Hi everyone, I’m putting stone veneer on Sheetrock for my fireplace surround and using Loctite Fast Grab to do it. I dude the right side, no problems. Now I have one piece that I hung and propped before going to the store, thinking it would be set by the time I came back. I held it against the...

    Need some creative help hanging a toddler gate

    I would have to agree with you! Thanks Joe, much appreciated. Not sure how the fella at Home Depot overlooked this little gem.

    Need some creative help hanging a toddler gate

    I'll be using leftover 5/8" cedar plank, roughly 30"x36", so it's going to be too heavy to mount on drywall. Especially for something that's going to be opened and closed so many times daily for the next four years or so.

    Need some creative help hanging a toddler gate

    So in keeping with the times my wife is looking to place small dog/toddler barn door style gates at the top and bottom of our stairwell. No problem, I have plenty of cedar left over from summer fence repair so I was just going to throw something together with that. My question is on mounting it...

    back to basics....stupid question

    I know lawn care isn't rocket science, but is there a better time of day than others to water the lawn? I see people water first thing in the morning, others like me in the evening. Is one better than the other? I have a mediocre lawn. Weed free, some dead spots, but mostly even grass, but it...

    I am replacing the sink in my kitchen and I can't figure out how to attach the sink drain to the drain pipe itself. On the old sink it looked like the drainpipe and drain were glued together or something but I couldn't get it apart. Coming out of the wall I have 2" abs which reduces to 1.5" abs...

    Moulding with rounded corners

    So I've finished laying tiles in my kitchen and want to upgrade the millwork around the bottom of my cabinets going into my TV room. Thing is, I have rounded corners in my house, which greatly reduces the ease with which an amatuer like me can install it. So much for setting my miter saw at 45...

    condensation in sliding glass door

    For the life of me I can't find the name of the manufacturer anywhere on the door. It makes me think it was some "lowest bidder" type company who supplied them to all 101 houses in our subdivision. But it was my fault all the way. I was trying to spray out the track with the pressure washer...

    condensation in sliding glass door

    Crap. I was afraid of that. Can you replace a single door in a sliding set or does it have to be the whole thing?

    condensation in sliding glass door

    I was pressure-washing my deck last week and threw some water at my sliding glass doors. Now I look at it and there is some condensation between the two glass panes. I'm sure I just forced some water between the glass and the frame. Is there a smart guy here who might know of a little trick that...
