    Hardwood stair squeezing sound

    If the spray doesn’t work and you want to try fasteners, look for trim screws. Great holding strength and a small head to cover with filler.

    Weird draining problem - Biting the bullet!

    My guess on the part going into the cast iron is that you’ll have to cut it. Probably by taking a hacksaw blade or if you can get a long metal blade for a Sabre saw. At two or three places on this piece, make saw cuts from the inside of the piece. Cut it just to you reach the threads of the...

    I’d try white pvc 3/4” thick material. A little pricey but you’ll never be up there painting it.

    Help of small wiring project.

    I could do that but it makes a easy way to eliminate the power to the fans when the greenhouse is not being used. Simpler than finding the correct breaker in the panel. Trying to find out if my assumed connections are correct.

What I would do and have done in the past is drill through the joist of the deck next to the house and go through the rim joist Of the house.

    Garage door opener LED bulbs

    This is what I did on both my openers. I bought a 30 Dollar LED light and mounted it to the ceiling behind the opener. I put one of those adapter plugs into the socket of the opener and plug the strip light into the adapter. A ton more light and no vibration to kill any bulbs
