Hey all, ok so i decided if i messed things up bad with this stuff i would call
for help ahha. Anyway so this stuff that i have comes with a puddy knife that i
haven't found much use for as of yet. I have been just taking this stuff and
basicly smearing it in to the whole with my fingers until
I don't know if there is an exact standard for when to use tape and when it's
too large an opening for tape alone.
I don't like to go much more than two inches with tape alone. Once a hole is
larger than that, I will use another piece of drywall to fill the hole first.
In order to use
Blake,
I suspect that you need to adjust the striker plate on the door frame. I use
a wee small hex wrench to feel where the plunger is hitting and then make
minor adjustments to the plate. I have also found that the bet way to adjust
the plate is to file it out a bit so the plunger will catch.
Even small cracks should be taped. This is because the plaster will shrink as
it dries and open a crack again. Very small cracks will need to be opened a
little with a sharp utility knife so you can actually jam mud into them.
The tape is not adhesive. You spread even a very thin amount of mud
It sounds as if your deverter is shot. In other words it's the device on the
spout that you pull up and or turn to start the shower. You need to un screw
the spout and take it to the hard ware store for a replacement. Also pick up
some vynal plumbers tape and be sure to wrap the tape around the
Pore some in a glass bowl. Place the shower head face down in the bowl over
night. It'll work fine the next morning. You don't need to submerge the
shower head only face where the water comes out. It doesn't seem to have
any effect on our plastic face shower heads. The body is some kind
Hi,
I have found that trying to move the strike plate sometimes poses a problem
in that you may need to make new holes for the screws. If the plate is just
a hair off it is easier to file down the opening on the strike plate.
Several times I found that the corners of the opening were not square
I have also adjusted the door in the frame slightly. If you feel around the
crack between the door and the jam sometimes you can see where the frame is out
of square with the door. Putting a cut playing card or other dense cardboard
material under the hinge between the hinge and the frame in
You can also put the vinegar in a plastic bag and then tape it to the shower
head. I advise this method if you have curious children who may wander off
with your shower head. Guess how I know? Another thing I learned was that it
really does only take a short soaking and does not need to be an over
I have had doors not latch after installing new knob sets. The new latching
mechanism or the new strike plate was slightly offset from the original.
Moving the striker plate corrected the problem.

ONE of the world's quietest cars will use a fake engine noise to help save

Toyota has fitted its petrol-electric Prius, the world's best-selling
hybrid, with a speaker that emits an artificial sound to help warn
pedestrians of its approach.

It does seem that they could play some soothing classical music instead of
more noise. :-)

Speaking of sounds, I think they should make the
sound of horses clomping along. We had a bridal
path near where I was raised, and loved the sound
of the horses walking down the street to the trail.

Hi Ray,
I have forgotten your age - but - do you happen to remember the 57 Cadillac
ElDorado? You could not hear the blamed thing running even in a large
garage. Same was true with my 93 Chrysler Salon. It was not as quiet as the
Caddy but, in normal traffic you could not hear it ideling until
Well, they could always use the classic playing card in the spokes thing we
used to do on our bicycles when we were kids. Smile.
