Thread: Dishwasher left or right side of sink?

Sometimes water enters at the top of a storm window if it is not fully raised. then the water collects on the window sill and the storm window can prevent it from draining back outside (if the weeps are clogged). The water eventually gets into the wall and leaks below. So, the first action is to get the storm windows properly closed. Sometimes silicone spray helps the tracks.

You can use a metal edging similar to a drywall corner bead with the exception that one side is the thickness of the drywall and is meant to be a finished edge. It comes in 1/2" or 5/8" widths in the event you are using 5/8" type x drywall. Most big box stores as well as most lumbies have it. You can also try drywall/masonry suppliers. It caps the edge you are wanting finished with the other edge same as corner bead that you mud...

Regarding sealer, I can only tell you that I've had to repair many a piece of gouged sheetrock and done many patches and other repairs, and I've yet to have any problems when directly applying joint compound to unsealed surfaces. And it hasn't made any difference whether the fix invoved paper tape or not. Just my experience...

The manufacturer has never furnished any information or parts lists for their electronics. The only way to check the logic board is by replacement. I would check your logic board for missing or loose connections on the printed circuit. One of the relays on that board controls the motor but I don't even know how to find a replacement.

Try skimming a large area with damaged cardboard from contact paper that was torn off. Time is money, and while you can not seal and just apply another coat of mud, schedules matter. I can use a shellac based sealer, then skim in about an hour and know there will not be bubbling. I rarely even skim with pre-mixed mud and a drywall knife. Setting compound and a plasterer's trowel make very short work of large areas.

I use brickeyes method with "wet" concrete, mixed according to manufactures specs. after the concrete has cure for a couple of weeks I go around and caulk the joint between the post and the concrete, just as a bit of added insurance against moisture and rot.

Update: Decided to give the steamer a quick shot and could immediately see big improvement. 10 min with steamer = about a days worth the way I was doing it before. Will have to wait till weekend to do more as I will have to remove a light and shades to get at very top but hey least I am making progress!! Fletch

When they gave me the quote it wasn't broken down by window, plus it was one of the "specials" buy three get one free. Of course that is a tactic for pressure to sign on the doted line. I had three different companys give me quotes and picked the one in the middle. It averaged out to about $800-850 per window depending on how I did the math. They removed, disposed of and re-did trim on inside and out. They replaced most of the...

I guess repairing the flashing needs to rip off all the old stucco first, right? Sounds like a huge repair.

Ditto for cleaning the centrifugal switch contacts. Not a difficult task, I removed the motor, took off the casing, pried the contacts apart, smoothed the contact surfaces with a nail file and put it back together. It's been working for another 25+ years. The contacts were slightly welded together by arcing, probably from being run in a particularly dirty atmosphere (metal and wood fumes)
