Paint can tip
|
| |
Whenever I open up a gallon paint can, I take a drywall screw and punch about a dozen holes in the recess of the lip the lid goes into. This keeps the depression from filling with paint, as it will drip through the holes into the can. Punch them so they are about 1/8" wide so the paint will flow... more »

Thanks for Barkeeper's Friend on Rusty Tile suggestion
|
| |
Some time ago, I posted a question about how to get a rust stain out of white tile (these white tile floors will be the death of me...).

Repairing a sliding glass door
|
| |
One of my sliding glass doors has become really difficult to open - it does not glide smoothly, despite the track being clean. Based on the rumbling noise when it rolls along, it is obviously time to replace the rollers. The current rollers are maybe 13 years old, and the track is 20 years old. From some web pages I've looked at, it is futile to replace the rollers if... more »

The Real Steve B to everyone
|
| |
Apparently I have a stalker who has been posting rude comments using my account information. One can merely go to TOOLS ACCOUNTS PROPERTIES GENERAL and duplicate anyone's info and post and appear to be that person. Someone is doing this. I do not know how to analyze the properties of the paths of... more »

Still more on Prius runaway
|
| |
[link] The article is from Forbes. The author is critical of the press that swallowed the story hook, line, and sinker. He says he found several flaws that a newsman should've found.
