[DIY] Re: Smell of sewer gases in bathroom

The wax seal is usually the cause, but it's possible (Depending on the plumbing configuration) it's also possible that your vent stack is not drawing well, clogged and the sewer gas can leak back through the vanity which also might be in need of some attention as well.

Usually in an old house which was in order and developed this sort of problem at some stage, its due to wear and tear,

that's why the most likely weakest link of failure is the wax seal.

I would also recommend while you make this repair to check the level of the floor in relation to the drain pipe on the ground, often the reason this wax seal fails is because floor under it is either too LOW, where the seal doesn't make perfect seal,

or too high causing the wax to get squeezed out and open craves to leak through,

now days they have multiple solutions to fix this by picking (spend a few bucks more) alternate off the shelf seals to overcome it.

I like using the wax seal coupled with rubber trunk which ensures waste gets routed into the pipe.

[DIY] Turn Tires inside out

I am building a retaining wall for our garden. To make the wall, I want to use car tires turn them inside out. I have cut off the sidewall on one side and turned about 10 of the 30 I need to turn inside out so they look like a planter and not a tire. Here is a link.

https://www.google.com/search?q=tire+retaining+wall&safe=strict&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS689US689&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiC6pT13uDUAhULwGMKHQXHC5MQ_AUICigB&biw=696&bih=378#imgrc=LqVNiayEyzAFmM:

I thought I could use a crow bar and attach a hook of some sort to it so I could put the hook on the outer side and twist it inside out. I had an old piece of metal and tried it and it almost worked. The problem is that the hook part has to be parallel with the shaft of the crowbar and not flared out like on a crowbar. The hook part needs to be at least 6 " in length and only a couple inches or so between the hook and the crowbar. Does anyone have an idea on how to make such a tool or buy a fairly cheap one like it without welding ?

Thanks,

[DIY] Re: Reaching high places

There are 2 lifts you can rent economically (sort of). A scissor lift which is motorized drive or a 1 man telescoping lift that you push around. You will need to have a fairly smooth and level ground surface where you will be working.

Re: [DIY] Reaching high places

Scaffolding can easily be adjusted to the most uneven ground and the safest
manner in which to reCH 2ND STORY+

legs are adjustable to terrain and concrete blocks can be used to
help level for deeper unlevelness...

you can rent 10-20-30 ft levels cheaply enuf...we did 30feet of gutter on
a 45 degree slope very easy to level and have high safe work area

Thanks, we used that inside but outside is on
uneven ground. Not sure how to level it to work that high.
Might add the area we need to get to is right over a
10x5' window. Don't want to have to replace that :)
