Re: [DIY] rusty tools

 

for extreme rust, I use a bench grinder with a wire brush. Get's it all of and shines it up nicely.

Depends on how bad the rust is, If its light blush, I take a paper towel and some WD 40 and polish the tool, if its deeper, some fine steel wool with some WD 40, If its very bad you could use some sand paper and then the paper towel and WD 40, Just depends on the tool and the use of it. For trowels I get em clean, for a shovel, not as concerned about the amount of fine cleaning...

Elbow grease!
 
Sandpaper or Scotchbrite with soapy water followed by a (very) light coating of WD-40.

Re: [DIY] Re: No hot water in the house

 

If you have determined that there is no Leaking (water flow).
Do a quick check at the water heater by opening the drain valve (use a
bucket under it unless you have a floor drain) and see if its the same
warm versus hot temp. If its only warm then the heater is not fully
working.

[DIY] Re: No hot water in the house

 

There may be a leak in the hot water pipe somewhere "using up" the hot water. Without running any hot water for an hour, check to see if the water heater is on (if gas). You cannot tell if electric.
If it is electric, the lower element may be out leaving the upper element to only heat apx. 20% of the tank. Alternately, cut off the water supply to the heater and see if it heats up to full temp. When turning the water supply off, listen to see if you hear any water flow cutting off near closing of the valve. This would mean a leak for sure.

RE: [DIY] No hot water in the house

 

First if it is electric, check the breaker, if gas check the pilot or the
igniter, after that I would check the heating elements in an electric unit,
or the thermostat for both types.

Just started last night. There is no hot water in the house, shower,
kitchen, and everywhere. Should I go take a look at the water heater? What
should I check when I am looking at the water heater?

Thanks,
Brian

RE: [DIY] where to start,putting down peel and stick tiles..

 

You should start in the middle and work out, (or at least lay it out, then
start at an edge)it will also get the edge tiles even that way, find the
center snap your chalk lines and go to town.

RE: [DIY] floor "repair" question

 

I would throw some joist hangers on and run them the same direction as the
rest of the joists

Subject: [DIY] floor "repair" question

After removing the old (non-working) floor furnace, there's a 2 ft by 3 ft
hole in the floor that needs to be filled. (Quick trip to the basement if
it isn't. <g>) I've got everything I need to do it. My question...should
the 2x6 supports underneath go the 2 ft way, or the 3 ft way, or does it
matter? The floor joists for the rest of the floor go the 3 ft way, but
obviously there was framing to support the floor furnace. Logic tells me
the 2 ft way is stronger, but.... Maybe I'm just over thinking the whole
thing. LOL

Thanks in advance.
