    Heat Pump inside unit making clicking noises

    The last thing I am is an A/C expert, so I told my wife I was going to where I knew the experts were. My inside unit of my A/C started making a clicking noise from the area that the power wires go into it. You can hear the clicking from across the room, ie. click, click, click, etc. It will...

    Screws for door hinge

    Joe, That's what I would have thought. But when I went to both Lowes and HD and tried the screw on their "test board", it would not screw into the 10-32 but it would the 10-24....although it felt a little "loose". In comparing the threads to a 10-32 the 10-32 threads are definitely finer...

    Screws for door hinge

    It is a metal framed door. I've gone to HD and have used their guide and it is not a metric screw at least it wouldn't go in any of their samples. The 10-24 was the best fit, even though it was "slightly" loose until you had it all the way in. It is a flat head but is a shallower head than...

    Screws for door hinge

    It's not the wall framing, I've got wood screws for that, but the door. I may have to do the bronze paint. Thanks for the ideas. Preacher

    Screws for door hinge

    I need some help in finding screws that will work on the door side of the door hinge. I bought new oil rubbed bronze hinges for my back door as we had remodeled the kitchen where the door is using that "color" for the lights and faucet. Upon buying them and going to put them on, I realized...

    retrofit vs "new construction" windows

    Thanks for all your replies! I had the representative from the retro fit place come out today and I can say, they aren't for us. The vinyl frame which is white, can not be painted. This means that no matter what color we might paint a room or the outside of the house we will always have the...

    retrofit vs "new construction" windows

    I guess I should also have said that my house has a brick veneer front and siding on the sides and back. There is one double window on the front. The rest of the windows (9) are on the siding. I've been told that the "new construction" window replacement can harm the vapor barrier that is...

    retrofit vs "new construction" windows

    I am wanting to replace the aluminum windows that are on the house. This winter the condensation on the aluminum windows drove my wife, and therefore me, crazy! In looking at windows replacing them with vinyl windows, two different installation methods have been suggested to me and of course...

    fascia corner bracket

    Here is a web site that carries something like I am looking for. Problem is, the companies around that carry their product do not have this and I have sent them an email, but to date have not heard back. They are the only ones that I've found with this corner, but I know, from looking at other...

    fascia corner bracket

    I just replace some fascia on my house and was wanting to put on the corners where they join a bracket that I've seen on newer homes. I've looked at the "box" stores to no avail. These brackets, from what I've seen, slip over the fascia corners from the bottom and keep it from separating and I...
