I put my 5/16 bit against the head of the screws provided and the 5/16 bit is slightly smaller than the head of the screw… are you saying if I use this bit as a pilot hole and try to drive the screws provided into the stud it’ll spin (since you mention the 5/16 bit is for the anchor?) Sorry...

So when I do find a stud and can go into it, is it safe to just use the #8 1 1/2 screws that was provided with the kit?

Hanging newbie here… So I bought a drywall anchor kit to install a 3 tier industrial pipe style Amazon bathroom shelf, and wanted to know if I happen to find a stud (considering the shelf isn’t a perfect 16 inch or so), would I be fine using the #8 1 1/2 screw included in the kit directly into...

I am adding mdf panel strips (Cut to size of course) to the existing wall, using some construction adhesive

So no nails should do the trick? I’ve seen videos of board and batten jobs done without brad nails but wanted more opinions

Hey all, I’m wondering if I’ll be fine with installing mdf board wall paneling with only construction grade adhesive (gorilla glue) without having to use brad nails… reason being is because I have a fire sprinkler installed (see top of image) on the walls and the FD advised those pipes aren’t to...

I took off the moen faucet each of the 3 parts and cannot figure out why it is leaking from underneath the sink where the base is at. I checked the gaskets and everything is fine, (you can see in the pictures where water is dripping from the base underneath the sink but no water is leaking up top).

I noticed that there was a moderate amount of condensation on my air duct in the basement and was worried this may be a cause of concern. Is this normal?

My question is, why is there such a large gap and how can I fix this (not using weatherstrip)? For whatever reason I wanted to mention my window screen frame has a spring mechanism to make it easy to come out on the side which exacerbates the gap. I’m pushing for them to get a larger window...

I wanted to know if this is expected with a sump pump considering it’s less than 1 year old. There is some condensation on the floor it appears like and is faintly wet to touch , as the attached pic can be deceiving… (I’m in the Chicagoland area so right now we’re getting snow and then a melting...

Can anyone please help me identify why my furnace is making a loud obnoxious buzzing noise? It just started a few moments ago and is still heating the home, it’s just the noise it’s just annoying and sounds like something is malfunctioning. It is very sudden and random

Tried tapping last night but it doesn’t stay flush for long, after turning (locking) the latch it comes right out of place. What is the consequences of it not being flush?

Thanks for your help on this! The New merv 7 filter is installed with the arrows facing the furnace! :thumb:

I just bought a new construction home and noticed the builder did a VERY poor installation on the entry door in regards to the cross bore/latch bore where the door knob latch is. Will leaving it like this (in the pics) impact the mechanism/ performance of the door or am I fine leaving it as is...

Yeah that is first on the list to replace this with a quality merv filter. so just to be sure the arrow should be pointed upwards toward the furnace(as indicated with the arrows I drew on the image?)

I just bought a new house and cannot confidently say I know where the air flow direction should be on the filter. The design of my furnace is the up flow/horizontal as indicated in the pictures attached. I’m guessing the arrow should point toward the furnace (or point up) but wanted confirmation.

I am installing a new closet strip light fixture and am a little confused on which is HOT and which is NEUTRAL. The wires out of the ceiling are white and black, but the wires on the new light fixture are white (copper) and black (silver) see in my attached image. I thought copper is the HOT...

I replaced my tub drain due to cosmetic reasons and followed all the instructions in a youtube video to replace it. I installed a new gasket to the tub drain shoe and placed a pencil worth of plumbers putty all around the new tub drain (not threads) and installed it hand tight (in addition to a...

smells like water/metals... didn't think about that.

++ everything is running well with the unit. Cold air is blowing, no hard starts or issues that are obvious.
