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?

There's no wooden ladder in that pic.


Leave it to a girl to not know what she's talking about when it comes to tools.:-)

I bought two of these for my garage and love them. You must make sure they are anchored well to a stud in the wall though.

The one on the right looks wooden in my picture... but since you mention it - it must have been the poor lighting in your work area. Maybe another reason why the rental guys wouldn't rent to you?

Preacher,

A real handy-man would have manufactured a stability bar out of twisted-doubled Duct tape.

Busted. I was out of duct tape, thus I had to use rope. :-)


Actually, on the stability bar, I did contemplate running an old water pipe through the rung tubes and tie off on the pews. Had I not had 2 able bodied people to hold the ropes, the water-pipe may have happened.

Ok, I redid the roof over my back porch (sun porch) last year with tar and roll roofing. It has been just fine for a year and a quarter. Just the other day it rained and water was leaking right at the back door. That is where the sun porch roof meets the house roof. The house roof is in bad shape and needs replacing (hopefully just re-shingling. We plan on getting that done next year as money allows. Anyway, I went up there the other day to see if I could find an obvious place where the water could leak through but nothing looked bad on my roof work on the sunporch. Anyone got any ideas on how to find a leak short of getting on the roof during a thunderstorm?

Did you put any flashing and or tar against where the roof meets the house?

Is it draining away from the house or could it be pooling? See any obvious tears in roofing or exposed nails?

Screw this......I'm backing out before I say somethign stupid.

Wait for JSP. This has his name written all over it.


btw....I'm making one of the bucket-electric chord holders for my garage this week...maybe tonight.

It's usually around a plumbing or attic vent unless you can see an obvious shingle missing. You do NOT want **** with your roof. Walk on crappy carpet for a year too long, neglect your paint for a while but do NOT jack with the roof.

Take a bucket of tar up there and liberally cover any of the joints around those vents. See if that clears up the problem.
