Repair Rotting Wood Without Replacing It
Repairing rotted wood instead of replacing it is sometimes the best option. First try to determine why the wood has become rotten and fix the cause. If the wood is structural (load bearing), most fillers are not strong enough to bear the load of a building.
Durham's Rock Hard Putty is an inexpensive way to repair rotted wood. The biggest short fall is that it can't be exposed to water. It must be covered with paint. Insure that the putty is fully dried before painting or covering with a layer of glue or silicone. If paint won't stay on the putty patch, then it is likely water is seeping into the putty.

    Thank You!!! 🤗 This morning I had enough with struggling to open my windows and found online a pulley rig with eye-hooks to help lift the kitchen window (I have 21 windows) I moved to my new (old) home 2 years ago and accepted the difficulty because I’m older and never had vinyl tilt in windows and assumed the house was old the windows are old etc. I foolishly researched replacing the window balancers and gave up. So after I found pulleys at hardware store…my brain kicked in. I always tell everyone there are at least 10,000 people doing what you’re doing right now and posting it online. I found your YT vid and followed instructions exactly and my window is like new. I didn’t need a screwdriver or window balancer tool. Just dishsoap, oil and paper towels. THANK YOU 👍

    So I just replaced the water supply line under my bathroom sink, was leaking from the fitting going into the top of the hot water valve. Water line no longer leaks but now I dont have much water pressure from my hot water. I checked the other sinks and the water pressure is fine, so it has to be something with the water valve for the bathroom sink. Cold water has plenty of pressure just not for the hot water. Any suggestions?

    You just saved my day! I haven't had my GCV160 serviced in at least 5 years. Just kind of forgot. Today I pulled the cord and it only went halfway. Uh oh! I followed your instructions and bought a liter of 10W30 SAE from Canadian Tire. Emptied the old (dark and dirty!) oil from the mower, filled it back up with the new stuff. I had to (somewhat gently) pull the starter cord a bunch of times to get things moving again, but once I got it moving it was able to start the engine normally again. Tip for any other novices like me: If you get a lot of smoke after you've done the oil change and started it up, it may mean you've overfilled the oil reserve. That's what I did. I just poured some back out and tried again. No more smoke. The dipstick on these mowers is hard to read when you're checking for too much oil.

      @Know-How-Now 7 дней назад

      They are used to cut a threaded bolt. Screw the bolt into the appropriate hole to where you want to cut it, then squeeze the strippers. If the bolt is a softer metal it will cut it. I doubt if you could cut stainless steel.

    The regulator hose that I removed had a compression fitting without any rubber gasket. However, the new one that I got from Amazon has the exact same fitting but WITH a rubber gasket? Anyone know what to do in this scenario? Remove the gasket? Keep it?

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now 7 дней назад

      I'd try it with the gasket first. Brush soapy water around the connection to confirm it's not leaking. Try same thing without it if it leaks. If it leaks both ways.... back to Amazon it goes.

The toothbrush trick really loosened, and I was in shock to see large "stones" all of a sudden. The real shocker was later that day in the bottom of the toilet, it looked like someone had put a whole taco bell brown napkin in the toilet. Went to go track down the offender in our house, only to find it was more build up which had loosened from the back!!! Yes, it was that big!!! No wonder it wasn't flushing!!

    At 1:36 in the video, that is a solid brass male fitting. You could take a flat file and dress the end until it is perfectly flat all the way around. That will stop the leaks on the male side. Little known fact: brass is easily eroded by a leak even at household water pressures. If a leak develops on the male side, it will etch a path across the flat end of the male fitting creating a permanent leak path which gets worse with time. How long does that take? 30 minutes or less. But solid brass can be dressed with the flat file mentioned above. I have been using the plastic hose fittings for about 15 years. If I acquire a hose with a stamped brass fitting, I cut it off immediately and replace it with plastic. Plastic does not erode if a washer leak develops. Plastic also presents a nice, flat end to the male side. Similarly female side brass fittings can erode and leak permanently. Plastic female replacements work very well. I also like to use the #15 o-ring instead of a flat washer on my hoses and attachments.
