PBJ12, I appreciate your feedback and support. I loosened the two nuts at the bottom (a few turns) and checked the roller for tension from the cable. None. Apparently this door hardware dates back to the time when serviceability was a consideration in design. New wheels are installed and...

My garage door installation dates back to the year 2000 or 2001. Here are pictures of the assembly holding the bottom rollers. I want to replace the roller because it is showing a lot of sloppiness like the ball bearings are failing. I see videos on YouTube with people warning about the dangers...

Thanks, I'll re-post as a new thread.

Garage Door Bottom Roller Question The garage door installation dates back to the year 2000 or 2001. Here are pictures of the assembly holding the bottom rollers for my garage door. I want to replace the roller because it is showing a lot of sloppiness like the bearings are worn out. I see...

Think I have a plan now. I appreciate everyone's feedback, thanks.

To All, One more thought, any ideas or suggestions where I might find a short length of brass finish corner strip I can place over the repaired area, perhaps something that has the same 'brass' finish as the door hardware ?

Paul. I appreciate the suggestions n recommendations from your personal experiences. I'll look into the body fillers for starters. Sounds a lot better then my original idea of using FixAll. Thank you,

Hmm, not getting much inspiration or advice on this one. Guess I'll make the best guess of it and hope it works out. Thanks for reading,

I've been procrastinating on this repair to the wall's edge. The damage occurred when the door was being closed while the deadbolt was not retraced. OK, accidents happen. I am wondering if this is something a layman can tackle. In the past I've been successful with stucco repairs & texturing...

Paint is peeling off the flashings at the base of the chimney and also the shingle roof vent pipes. I have three questions. 1. Is it appropriate to use Rustolium spray primer before applying new paint ? 2. What is a good sealer to use on the vent flashings ? 3. Are there paints specifically for...

I appreciate the reply. Based on my observation the torch down isn't significantly higher than the lip on the drip edge, I assume the hot mop was removed. Does that help ?

I am being told the reason the existing torch down (about 10 years old now) is starting to lift from the drip edge is because the existing drip edge is for hot mop applications. Apparently when the original hot mop roof was replaced with torch down, the original edging was left in place. 1. Is...

Are there any products a homeowner can use to 'seal' the porcelain of a kitchen sink ? This sink is an under-the-counter sink. The left basin (Garbage Disposal side) of this kitchen sink is picking up food stains easily. We found they can be removed using diluted bleach or scrubbing with some...

I appreciate the information on the masonry bits. For clearing out the cane bolt hole, I used a length of 1/4" vinyl Drip Line tubing. I found it worked great and can be stored with the masonry bit for future use.

OK, I have learned a lot about CMU block walls thanks to Snoonyb. Going back to my questions for masonry drill bits; 1. Is the basic carbide tipped bits a suitable and decent choice for drilling a limited number of holes ? 2. Should I be adding water in the hole to lubricate the drill tip or...

I expect there is a wide quality range for masonry drill bits. Some brands are listed as carbide, others as carbide tipped, some as carbide hammer bits. As a homeowner - and not a tradesmen, I will be drilling four or six holes into CMU blocks (probably cement filled when the block wall was...

Need to release top cover of my LG WT7300CW Top Load Washing machine so I can clean the hinges holding the Lid in place. Why, after the unit has sat for a while, when opening the Lid there is an obnoxious pop or snap sound. I expect there is something binding in one of the lid's hinges. Need to...

I appreciate the response. Yes, the pipe will be underground (below the pavers.) Thank you.

Brilliant & simple solution, many thanks

Need to replace the Mail Slot Cover present on a stucco wall. The original mail slot is narrower than any of the new stuff I am finding. What method for cutting the stucco to make the slot wider ? I appreciate all suggestions, recommendations, and feedback.
