Handy-Man Corner

I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

Basically I have an interior blank slate to fill..........soon...and I'm still open to suggestions.

Any budget conscious counter top recommendations?
When we put our office together plywood counter/formica top was the cheapest way to go by a mile.

I always thought granite was incredibly expensive, but obviously I'm wrong.

Also looking at Merillat Classic Hickory.

My intention has been to put in quite a bit of hickory hardwood, but some of the engineered laminate hardwoods look like a decent option. What do I need to know or keep in mind for cost comparison.
PM notorious for floors. There was a guy with the screen name of RJ IIRC that used to sell flooring, but I haven't seen him in a good long time.

Well, what sort of subfloor are you on? Basement below? Is it pre-finished or unfinished?

You like hickory cabinets and potentially hickory floors? Are the cabinets you're looking at a stained hickory or just clear coated?

Do you like the rustic, look and feel of handscraped/distressed hardwood?

Are you doing the installation yourself? Kids or pets?

Flooring I might be in the market for.

We have a spare bedroom downstairs that we've only used to store summer/winter clothes and coats and it's been empty other than that.

We went in about a week ago and there were about 10 small spots of grey mold. Fuzzy, grey/white in color, and thank God no impact on the wife's alergies.

1)What is this and what's the best way to rid our house of it?
2)Once we rip the carpet out is this something that might warp or damage a hardwood floor?...

Electrical advice needed for simpleton. I have 2 outdoor outlets, one on my deck and one on my pergola. I have a GFCI outlet in my basement that they run off of (???). I'm installing some rope lights on the pergola. I plugged the rope lights into the GFCI outlet and they worked. When I took them outside to the pergola outlet and plugged them in, they didn't work. So I walked downstairs to the GFCI outlet and the red light was on. I pressed the reset button and it sparked a bit. Now nothing that I plug into the GFCI outlet or my 2 outdoor outlets work. Circuit breaker looks fine.

What did I do and how can I fix it? Did that GFCI outlet save my life?

Sparks in anything electrical is bad. When was the last time you plugged anything into the outside outlets? Right now you'd probably have to start by replacing the GFI and go from there.

I haven't plugged anything into the outdoor outlets since Spring when squirrels chewed through my string lights. They have covers and I didn't see any nests or moisture in them.

I was just seeing if it was years.

GFI sounds bad. Since the wall breaker hasn't flipped I'd say it's internal to the GFI. Could be something shorted past it of course but the place to start is the GFI.

I'd like to go on record after 3 weeks of purchasing piles and piles of building supplies from local, Lowes and Menards.....Menards is NOT the Walmart of the big box lumber yard....It is the Dollar General.

Mouth breathing morons abound in that place, and they're department managers. I declare they help me invent new swear words.

Are you still looking for Hickory and have you found an installer that is capable?
