How can I replace the wooden door sill underneath my front door?
I have a raised porch. The door sill underneath the front door is rotting and I would like to replace it. How can I remove the door sill? Do I have to take the door down and all sides and additional pieces? What kind of wood do you recommend and do I get a 2x4 or 2x6?How can I replace the wooden door sill underneath my front door?All the charm of and old house.
Most of the ones I have worked on were made of oak. A few were southern yellow pine, but they were produced when old growth timber was still available. The threshold will be one piece, so you will need to get something just as wide and thick or do a glue-up to match. The door jambs are rabbeted to accept the threshold and nailed in from the side of the jamb. You could replace it without removing the entire jamb but will need to shim under the new one to keep it tight to the top of the rabbets.
If its not too rotted you might want to consider and exterior grade wood filler and repaint it. Good luck with the project.acne on back shoulders get liquid foundation

How much does it cost to replace underground water pipe?
Our underground water pipe is 275 feet long and leaks closing to the water meter. What is the reasonable price to replace the whole 275 feet water pipe? The pipe leaked 6 years ago and previous owner spent $3489 just replaced the leaked part with copper. Currently we have plumber estimate as $9800 by using directional boring. Not quite sure if it is reasonable.How much does it cost to replace underground water pipe?City or State code plays a factor here. Flexible K copper is not cheap plus some states require the line to be 8 feet deep. If you have old black pipe or galvanized pipe, yes you should replace the whole thing. If you can have it 3 feet deep then you can do this your self and pay a plumber to hook it up. Save big bucks. Contact your City on there requirements. Plumbing store for the copper. Rental store for a ditch witch to dig a trench. Plumber to tie in all of your fittings and to the meter. Under ground requires a flaired fitting to connect the copper lines.
But for a plumber to do the job for under $36.00 per foot seems like a great price to me. It would be a great deal more here in Ohio.How much does it cost to replace underground water pipe?There are some good suggestions here and for small bores it certainly is possible to do it yourself, but always remember to not assume anything, call for utility locates before you dig! http://www.we-bore-it.com
