Not true. A one way security screw has a head that is nearly flat. There is nothing to grab with the channel locks or vise grips.

A security bolt is a great idea. There are some heads that are just downright crazy. Sure you can get into them, but the key is time. Anything that takes thieves more than a few minutes to crack is...

My only real memory of Hoquiam was from when I was a little kid. We were driving through on our way to Ocean Shores and we stopped to get something to eat. We were about to get out of the car and...

Belt sanders are fun!

Now THAT was a good read. Thanks for the chuckles and information.

Try Goof Off. I have used it with good success in many paint clean ups. Spray some on and let it work in. Cover it with saran wrap to keep it moist then work it off with a plastic putty knife after...

I've been thinking about going for it too. I am a school teacher and have down time in the summer. I am either going to figure out this plumbing thing or go get a doctorate.

On one hand, it would...

I have to run some hoses from the dishwasher over to the sink, which is two+ cabinets away. What should I use? I can't find any premade ones at the hardware store that are long enough. I think in...

I took the other pictures down as I am working on taking some better ones. They just showed all of the junk that I had pulled out of the closet in order to get to the attic yesterday to install new...

KISW is still around eh? I grew up in Federal Way, but haven't been back in quite a few years. I was actually just looking at my old KISW Rock t-shirt this morning and I almost wore it. What a...

A lot of living indeed. We are in the process of remodeling the entire house all at once. My wife and I are both teachers so we are trying to get it all done this summer.

We have gotten quite a...

What do you guys think of the floor? Pretty classy eh? How about my garbage bag that I need to take out? :D

That's what I'm thinking about doing. Kind of my worry is that I rip out all of the cabinets and then find that I have a major headache even getting new ones to fit, and that my dishwasher still has...

Ok, here are pictures. As you can see, it is the world's ugliest kitchen (hence the remodel). We also have junk out everywhere as we are moving things hither and thither trying to get everything...

I'll take some pictures tonight and post them. As you walk straight in you see the sink in front of you. It is against an outside wall with a window directly above it. On your right is the range and...

Ahh, a cement floor. I've never secured plywood to a cement floor personally. I've always attached it to a wood subfloor in upstairs rooms.

You can attach vinyl directly to concrete. Just make...

I've done a few sheet vinyl floors. I always use the presanded 1/4" plywood (make sure you use the sanded side up). I always secure it with 6d ring nails. Then roll on floor primer (I believe...

I am currently remodeling and am trying to fix what was done by the previous homeowner. At this point I'm trying to figure out what my options are. I have a "U" shaped kitchen. It has a sink straight...

Thanks for the tips guys. I got it taken care of. It was a piece of cake. The rubber washers on the back were just dried up. I took the stems out, put new washers on them and it was good as new.

Thanks for the advice hj! Ok, now my last bit of info I need is do I need to remove these pieces before I take out the stems? Or how do the stems come out? Do I just pull them? In the past I've...

I've tried to unscrew the silver one. The outside of it just spins. The inside part of it just stays there. I took two screw drivers and jammed them in and pushed and the whole thing spun a little. ...

Hi everybody. I'm new to this board and am glad I found it!

Here is my problem.... I have two showers in my house. One is a combo tub and shower that has the hot, cold, and diverter knobs. The...
