Thanks, I sent them the pictures. Let you know...

Thanks Bud, couldn't open that link. Got into swisco.com and searched and didn't find my particular latch. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Trying to identity this older latch. I have this problem on a few that are broke off and trying to find a supplier of a repair kit. Wondering if anyone could advise. Many thanks...

Thank you Bud, I'll check that out, maybe tough due to the small angles on the double hungs could be problematic to mess with. Tried the Citrus product, wasn't impressed, probably great for furniture with couple layers of latex...

Totally understand, this is explained on the tin. The point being that the other products don't work as well so I'm resulted in using heat on maybe lead paint which is far more dangerous.

Thanks for that, I'm sure there is a layer of lead paint, is why I take the precautions. So with all the good stuff removed what do we use for these difficult jobs? Someone had mentioned using a paint brush cleaner, does anyone have any info on that for a paint remover?

I had an old can of Jasco premium remover which had Methylene Chloride etc whiched worked well on my multi layers of old paint on and around double hung windows of and old house. Using gloves and face mask in a well ventilated area took all the precautions. Ended up running out and header out...

Purchased a thin plastic window covering with a slight design to keep out wandering eyes from our bathroom. Cut to size and told to clean and apply thin coating of water using spray bottle and squeegee till plastic is secure. Seem to work until next day, it's on the floor. Question: Is there...

Waiting for you lot, sorry if you didn't understand the question. Finished the job, ended up using Liquid Nails, did a great job. Thanks all.

Removed cast iron tub from an older home and a layer of top flooring which had seen better days. Left with a sub floor 9" wide tongue and grove 3/4" at 45 degrees to the joists that are nailed. I'm tempted to put screws beside the nails as the nails seem to be working out. I have cut 32"...

I like the idea, will it negotiate 2x 90 deg bends in that size of pipe?

This has been an annoying problem we've had for years, a slow draining bath tub to the point now it's a no drain bath tub. The nut at the top of the down shoot I have completely rounded not realizing it was brass and adding too much pressure. There is very little clearance and is below the floor...

Perfect, I thought as such, hoping the new stove will have it's own regulator. We are inheriting a 10 year old GE in perfect shape so this is our weekend project. Will remove old reg. and buy shut-off tomorrow and shut gas off at the supply source. Thanks for the info...

I am removing an old copper tone Range and oven and each has there own regulator as in the attached jpg. I am unable to find a shut-off valve for these regulators and wonder if there are shut-off's built in to these regulators. Thanks of any assistance.
