    Hardener in Rustoleum rusty metal primer

    I used the rusty metal primer on my Bilco door a few years ago. Thought it would work better than regular primer even though I sanded the door well and removed most of the rust. I couldn't get the topcoat to lay well, lots of fish eyes no matter how well I rolled it. Apparently the primer...

    Problem after changing power steering pump

    Remove the belt, check for looseness on any of the pulleys, start the engine briefly to see if the noise is still there. That will eliminate or confirm if its something in the accessory drive.

    My contractor screwed up my new slab. Need Help please!

    I didn't think floor drains in garages were allowed anymore. So....when hazardous materials, grease, flammable liquids enter your floor drain, where does it go? Surely not into the ground to contaminate the soil and possibly well water. Can't be directed to a storm drain that flows to a stream...

    Has anyone rigged up a better filter for your ice maker?

    I added a whole house filter in line with my refrigerator ice maker and water dispenser in the 1/4" copper tubing. Installed it in the basement where the line was easily accessible. Needed an adapter fitting or 2. I use the carbon filter cartridges. The replacement cartridges cost much less...

    I have a craftsman air ratchet with the same issue. Same model number. I didn't try to repair it yet. Here is a Blue Point with what looks like the same valve as mine has. http://www.daves-workshop.com/2014/05/20-year-old-blue-point-air-ratchet.html I couldn't find anything else when searching.

    What’s a good way to repair a crack in blacktop?

    I have similar cracks in my driveway. I tried the stuff in the caulking tube, put down sand first. They tell you to apply it when it is warm but the cracks are narrower then. so, during the winter they'll expand again. Basically it didn't work well. Waiting to hear if someone here has a better...

    Easy to use push to connect air hose fittings?

    I use the schrader style connectors . Very easy to connect. Easy to disconnect although it takes two hands to remove but only a twist unlike the I/M that needs to be pushed and pulled at the same time.

    Taping off hardwood floors before spraying trim

    How tight is the trim to the floor? I've never sprayed trim. It may be too late to do this. After I install new flooring I tape wax paper down to the floor (no tape goes under where the trim will be), install the trim, paint the trim, pull the wax paper out.

    Can a humidifier be piped into radon PVC mitigation pipe?

    I drain my dehumidifier with a hose connected to the lid of my sump pit. The pit and the inside perimeter pipe was installed when the house was built. I never had a need to install a pump. The radon system uses the same piping that leads to the sump pit.
