    Looks like my old flange goes on outside of the pipe so cutting it might be tricky. I wouldnt even need to remove it but the subfloor piece around it is very moldy and needs to be replaced so i`ll have to redo the flange as well i guess.

      So measure the inside of the existing pipe. Lets say its 3" wide on the inside. When you go to buy the new flange you should measure the outside of it. If its 3" wide from the outside to the outside on the other side then it will fit inside the existing pipe!

    Hey!! I’ve been looking for advice on dry-walling my garage… I noticed you seem to have flush ish concrete but didn’t drywall over the concrete. That’s what I’m probably thinking of doing. Can you speak more to why you made this decision? The underlying slab seems flush-ish in my situation, but definitely isn’t perfect. There are areas of lumps and imperfection that would make it difficult to drywall over. Thank you for posting this visit overall!!! Very helpful.

      @diywithcontractorken.6124 Před 6 měsíci

      So even just painting it same color as the wall looks so much better. To go a step further you can run your hand across the concrete and any little chunks sticking out can be smashed with a Hammer then skim, sand, texture with the rest of the wall and paint. Also If you get it flat with the hammer you could then glue sheetrock and finish it that way. Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes.

    WD-40 will actually attract dust. So after you spray it in there and it dries, it will gunk up even faster. You'll be spraying a can of WD in it every week. Take it apart, wash it with dish soap and water, dry it with a cloth.

    I know your pain dude. Almost every damn thing I rent from HD has an issue. My latest rental I rented a paint sprayer and the prime hose had a huge hole in it. I put a half a gallon of paint on the floor before I caught it. Thank god I put out 6mil plastic under the sprayer. It’s always the dumbest issues or it flat out doesn’t work. The main issue is that HD staff don’t check the equipment when it’s returned. They just take the idiot who rented it lasts word that there wasn’t an issue and puts it back on the floor.
