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

What is the best way to replace old bricks on a brick house the are broken?
I am working on an old house that has several broken bricks on it ; these bricks need replacing . I would like to know how to replace them.What is the best way to replace old bricks on a brick house the are broken?you can take a dremel tool and cut out the mortar of the broken brick, then pry it out. then you can lay some new mortar on the bottom and sides, install a new brick, and mortar the top, finishing with whatever mortar finish was already there What is the best way to replace old bricks on a brick house the are broken?Hopefully, you have access to some matching bricks.
Look around the home, for brick walkways (yard may have grown over them), planters, decorative items, fence posts, mailbox post/enclosure etc... things that may have been made with extra bricks when the home was built. You may get lucky and find some stashed away in storage, in a crawlspace, or attic. By using bricks that came with the original load, to replace broken bricks, repairs will be less obvious.
Now... before you start replacing bricks, you need to find out WHY you have broken bricks. For example, if some of the bricks broke, in a pattern, and there is a crack in the mortar (especially a staggered crack that runs up at a diagonal), you may have a case where the foundation, or a part of it, has settled. In which case, you should repair that, before repairing the brickwork. If you have a vertical crack near the corner of a wall, it may mean that the bricks (along the side) have pulled loose from the wall, and the home could be at risk of losing a whole section of bricks from the wall, if not attended to.
Ok, assuming everything that could have caused the brick to break in the first place has been repaired, the basic repair is pretty straightforward... you have to dig out the old brick(s), and mortar, and replace it. Dremel tools with a grinder attachment work pretty good at cutting away the mortar, but you may find an air impact chisel and bit are faster. Remove the mortar from around the broken bricks, and they'll pull right out.
Clean up the opening as well as you can. Apply new mortar to the bottom of the opening, and the sides, and press the replacement brick in place. You may find a hammer, or mallet, helpful in helping to tap it down into place. (I've used a chisel, or screwdriver...by laying them across the top of the brick, and while holding the handle, tap down gently on the metal. If you lift the handle just a bit, you can actually tap down on the back side of the brick, even though your hammer won't actually reach in there, hehehe. You're using the longer handled tool to apply the force where you want it.) By the way, I like to add just a bit of mortar to the top of the brick, along the back half, just before I work it in place. Then I don't have to squeeze so much in later.
Don't forget to finish off the mortar like the original work. If its been tooled, you'll need to do it the same. Oh, before you start, make some test mortar to double check the color, and make any changes necessary. (You'll want to clean the old mortar as much as possible first, before comparing colors)
This is more time consuming than anything else. It's not really 'difficult' to do, if you have the patience, heheh.
If you'd like to contract the work out though, then look for someone who can do 'tuckpointing'. %26quot;Repairing%26quot; brickwork actually takes more labor than installing new brick, so not all bricklayers would be interested in bidding on the work, but they can tell you who does good work.

How do you replace a 2 prong oulet with a 3 prong?
In my house I have mostly 2 prong outlets and I would like to replace them with grounded 3 prong outlets. From what I can tell I do not have a ground wire coming into the boxes and the boxes arent connected with EMT, just the wires running from the box downstairs. Its a 100 amp service which is code and I want to avoid running new romex up there to get my ground wire. GFCI breaker?How do you replace a 2 prong oulet with a 3 prong?Lots of wrong answers. As usual. You had the correct one. The national electric code allows you two options. Replace the 2 prong receptacle with another 2 prong receptacle. Or install a GFCI receptacle, (not breaker). You will still not have a ground, but the installation will comply with code and not be unsafe. The alternative is to rewire with a 3 conductor circuit. Ground wires must terminate in your electric panel, not on some pipe or such. A GFCI installed on the first receptacle in the circuit can protect any other receptacles down stream. Don't take electrical advise from untrained people.How do you replace a 2 prong oulet with a 3 prong?Hey there....
You really need to make sure you have a good ground connection. I think you will probably have to start running new cable....
I think you have been unlucky as some 2 prong sockets had the box grounded, allthough this may not be up to current standards it is an option.
Good luck and try not to take any chances.....How do you replace a 2 prong oulet with a 3 prong?You need a ground wire for the third prong. If the outlet boxes are metal, you can run a single wire between them, attach it each one with a screw with a serrated lock washer. Run a pigtail(short piece of wire) between the new three prong outlet ground screw and the box(the ground screw will be painted green). Use green, bare or green with a yellow stripe for the wire. 14 Gauge should be adequate for home wiring. Ground all your outlets to a water or gas pipe using a clamp designed for this. Do not forget to clean the paint from the pipe! If you are not sure that your water or gas pipe are deep and metal, drive a separate ground rod. You also need to tie this back into the ground bar inside your main panel box. Do not tie grounds to neutral together anywhere except in the main panel box.How do you replace a 2 prong oulet with a 3 prong?A GFCI breaker won't provide a ground.
%26quot;Just wires running from the box downstairs%26quot;??????
Do you see the wiring anywhere except inside the box.
If the house is old, and the boxes are steel, there's a very good chance that they were wired with armored cable, ('BX'), the jacket of which is grounded.
Do the wires enter the box through a metallic fitting?
You can do a continuity check with a cheap meter,
(the 'ohms` scale), between the box and the white,
(neutral), wire to confirm the existence of this ground.
There are grounding clips that attach to the box to connect to the ground screw of the new outlets if your boxes are grounded.

How do I replace the sub-flooring in my bathroom?

How do I lift the toilet off to repair the floor? Any other suggestions would be great!How do I replace the sub-flooring in my bathroom?This brings back nightmares. I don't know how many times I have done this!!!
Shut off the water to the toilet. Flush and bail until it is empty. Unhook the fill tube at the valve. Remove the bolts at the base of the toilet. (You might have to pry the cover caps off with a screwdriver or chisel.) If the bolts will not come off, hacksaw them.
Move the toilet out of the way. Sometimes putting a piece of cardboard in the tub makes a good place to place the toilet. Remove the floor with a saws all as far back as it is rotted. Sometimes you need to %26quot;scab%26quot; in support blocks for the new floor. This can be done with 2x4's and deck screws. When replacing the floor around the pipe, put the %26quot;split%26quot; part of the board parallel to the wall. This will give you a solid area around the front of the toilet where the traffic is.
Cut your replacement board, and then lay it on the floor and mark the floor to identify the small places that will need to be trimmed.

I am only putting in those that make a difference for the experienced handyman.How do I replace the sub-flooring in my bathroom?I used a shortcut when I had this problem, I removed the toilet and removed all the rotten wood I could then used a fiberglass repair kit with glass cloth and filled in the bad places.

Get 1/4 hardwood plywood available at Home depot and steel plaster lath that is available from any Drywall supply house in 28 inch wide by 95 inch long galvanized( perforated metal is what this is) about $6 a piece is the cost.
Sandwitch the metal lath between the hardwood plywood gluing the two together with a troweling of Polyurethane cement, use a ridge trowel about 1/8 high ridges. Then screw that to joists best you can with about #6 x 1 1/2 drywall screws.
Of course you can lift off the toilet, just remove those two bolts and up it comes.
You are asking for a major problem if you cut into this old subfloor. Every where you cut on the peremiter, you are going to form a non supported area that will squeal and be structurally inadequate even if you put in blocker blocks.

Shut off the water to the toilet. Flush and bail until it is empty. Unhook the fill tube at the valve. Remove the bolts at the base of the toilet. (You might have to pry the cover caps off with a screwdriver or chisel.) If the bolts will not come off, hacksaw them.
Move the toilet out of the way. Sometimes putting a piece of cardboard in the tub makes a good place to place the toilet. Remove the floor with a saws all as far back as it is rotted. Sometimes you need to %26quot;scab%26quot; in support blocks for the new floor. This can be done with 2x4's and deck screws.

Get 1/4 hardwood plywood available at Home depot and steel plaster lath that is available from any Drywall supply house in 28 inch wide by 95 inch long galvanized( perforated metal is what this is) about $6 a piece is the cost.
Sandwitch the metal lath between the hardwood plywood gluing the two together with a troweling of Polyurethane cement, use a ridge trowel about 1/8 high ridges. Then screw that to joists best you can with about #6 x 1 1/2 drywall screws.
Of course you can lift off the toilet, just remove those two bolts and up it comes.

I lived in Los Angeles county. I heard that after 5 years or 7 years, the landlord have to replace the carpet if he didn't replace after you have lived for 5 or 7 years, the landlord can't deduce money for the carpet or painting. So please let me know is it 5 years or 7 years?How often a landlord has to replace the carpet and repaint?Neither. There are no laws forcing paint and carpeting, ever. You do not even have to have them in the first place.How often a landlord has to replace the carpet and repaint?NOPE.
LL NEVER has to replace carpeting and repaint.
Go check out some slum apartments if you have any doubts.
If LL wishes to get quality tenants, they periodically repaint and replace carpeting, but they are NOT required to do so by local or state law, but by the law of supply and demand.
AND, if you damage or destroy LL's property, you are liable for repair or replacement, regardless of the age of it. It's wishful thinking or an urban myth.rodents cat

How do you replace the oil and gas in your mower?
I bought a brand new lawn mower last summer, I used it and put it away when winter came. Now I want to use it again, and I've read that you should replace the oil and gas in it before using it again. But I don't know where or how to drain it. Thanks.How do you replace the oil and gas in your mower?If you tip the mower upside down like some of these highly informed individuals recommend you will have oil in the air filter and carburetor not to mention all over the ground.

refill with fresh gas,

How do I replace my rotten porch posts?
My house has a porch approx 7 feet from front to back and 11 feet wide. The base of the porch is concrete and it has 2 wooden posts supporting the porch roof. The wooden posts are starting to rot at the base so I want to replace them.
I was thinking of using PT 6x6 posts which I will let dry out and then prime and paint before installation. Will this be ok?
How should I attach the posts to the concrete and the roof to ensure they will be well secured?
Will I be able to attach a wooden railing once I've attached the posts?How do I replace my rotten porch posts?First get an 8' treated 6%26quot; x 6%26quot; Post. Cut it in half and place each half under the porch roof beam at a diagonal on each corner of the porch. Take 3%26quot; screws and screw it into the porch beam back from the corners.
Now something sturdy around the house, like concrete blocks,pc. 3/4%26quot; plywood and place these on the ground to rest your temporary braces on.
Cut 2 4%26quot; x 4%26quot; posts to fit up under the end of your chunk of 6%26quot; x6%26quot;s at each corner. Wedge them up tight under the 6%26quot; x6%26quot; and fasten at top and bottom.
Now you can remove your old posts.
I would do a scaled drawing of your porch and see what size posts looks good. If it were mine I would probably laminate 4 layers of treated 2%26quot; x 6%26quot;s together to form your posts. Sometimes treated posts warp,twist,bow - but if you laminate 4 pcs. of 2%26quot; x 6%26quot; together it works better.
You can purchase a metal base plate for these posts made by *Simpson. It anchors to concrete and wraps around post at the bottom.
I would put up the posts and then wrap them with aluminum coil stock or cedar.
Even if you use 6%26quot; x 6%26quot; treated posts - they will split,warp and not look very good, so you may want to wrap them or put on cedar.

How much should it cost to replace a timing belt on a new style 99 Jetta GL 4 cylinder automatic?
I just got an estimate from the dealer and they said $750 and it would take 4 days... they said they had to replace the water pump at the same time, too (even though there is nothing wrong with my water pump, I just need to get the timing belt replaced for maintenance purposes- it has not broken.) It seems like a very high estimate to me, but I called another dealer in the area and they said the same thing. Hopefully someone can give me some advice as to what it should cost. :) Thanks!How much should it cost to replace a timing belt on a new style 99 Jetta GL 4 cylinder automatic?The reason they want to replace the water pump is that they have to pull the water pump to replace the timing belt so they don't charge any extra for the labor just the parts (which they mark up) but it is recommended to get it done since it will likely need replacing eventually, cheap insurance. Timing belts replacement is something that annoys me as well and when I buy a car I always try to factor that cost into my buying decision, especially on used cars. If you call three or four different auto mechanics and the price is roughly the same you'll know that's about right. Most mechanics use a guide that tells them how long a specific job will take and bill accordingly.
If you are feeling REALLY adventerous you could find out if your valve train is interference or non-interferance. If the timing belt breaks on an interference engine, the pistons will hit the valves and cause serious damage, as in the engine is toast. On a non-interferance engine, it will usually just stop running at which time you can pay a towing bill and have the belt replaced. A friend on mine is on the original belt in his 91 Honda and now has 175,000 miles on it. He bought a used engine for about $500.00 and plans to replace it himself when the belt gives out.How much should it cost to replace a timing belt on a new style 99 Jetta GL 4 cylinder automatic?Dealer 600-700How much should it cost to replace a timing belt on a new style 99 Jetta GL 4 cylinder automatic?Your car has an %26quot;interference engine%26quot; that will suffer expensive damage if the timing belt breaks. So you have no choice other than to have the belt and water pump replaced. Next time, think about getting a car that has a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Timing chains last the life of the car with regular engine oil changes.How much should it cost to replace a timing belt on a new style 99 Jetta GL 4 cylinder automatic?That's about average rate an the timing belt runs the watter pump u do not have to replace it but i have seen it many times where a belt was changed ab the pump went bad a month later now u going to pay another 600+ buck s so the Chance of a 1200+ repair or a 600+ repair would be your choice mine would be do both at one time Some timing belts are a high labor job
There were a few early models you had to remove the engine to replace the t belt

How do I replace a garbage disposal with regular piping?
I have a garbage disposal that don't work. I think the motor is burnt out. I was wondering if anyone knew how hard it was to just take the disposal out and replace it with regular pipe. Is this something that I could do myself or would I have to hire a plumber. Any advice would be a big help. Thanks in advance to all who will take time to pass their advice on.How do I replace a garbage disposal with regular piping?Garbage disposals are detrimental to the sewer system, garbage belongs in the garbage can, many local authorities have banned their replacement, if you want to keep taxes down, it costs to treat everything that goes into the drain. First, SHUT OFF THE ELECTRIC, if you can't, forget about doing the job. Open the box where the wire enters the disposal, disconnect the wires and place wire nuts and electrical tape over them. Cut the pipe that leads to the wall, just after the u-shaped bend. Support the disposal, Hit the ring at the top of the disposal, counterclockwise, or put a screwdriver into one of the loops and twist. Take the back end of the pipe you cut off the u-bend[trap], to the home store and ask for a Fernco fitting to attach the pipe out of the wall to the new trap, purchase the trap, preferably plastic; the tailpiece, and the basket strainer to go into the sink opening, use silicone caulk to install the strainer, they will tell you to use plumbers putty, don't. Good Luck!How do I replace a garbage disposal with regular piping?try turning the disposal with the wrench that came with it, push the little red reset button at the bottom, check the breaker, will it run now ? to remove it take disposal loose theres a ring that holds it on turn it counter clock wise, unplug disposal, then you can hook up regular pipes to the sink drain,How do I replace a garbage disposal with regular piping?Just remove the disposal ,and any wiring, and connect remaining pipes with a short length of pipe.

How do I replace/install an interior door and frame?
I need to replace the interior doors of my home, they are very dated. I see at lowe's or home depot I can purchase them, but I have never installed one before.How do I replace/install an interior door and frame?If you want to save the existing molding, start by gently scoring the frame along the wall with a razor knife. Get a small flat bar and gently pry the molding until you can see where the finish nails are. Use the smallest nail set or punch available and drive the nails through the molding and remove.
Remove the door from the frame as well as any shims. Pry the frame off the studs and header or saws-all them off.
Now the important stuff. Carefully cut the bottom of the jambs for height. The top of the jamb should be within 1/4 inch of the header. Remove the door from the new unit and install the jamb using finish nails and shims to ENSURE it is level, square and true. Take your time as that is the most important part. Hang the new door and test it. If things look good, replace the molding, set the nails, fill and paint/stain.
Good luckprogramming got a call saying

How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?
How do I choose a sump pump what do I need to take into consideration? If possible I would like one with multiple speeds which matches the amount of water the one which is there is not emptying the water table it is quite highabout an inch below the bottom of hole, it is about 40 years old we think as it looks like the system was installed with the house it is either that or they put a whole new concrete floor in when they did it over.How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?Many years ago I had to replace a sump pump in the basement where I lived at that time.
I had to consider the following when getting one.
1. voltage available
2. Height of water to be removed at the very worst- I increased this so it will not come on as often and will pump more out when it does.
3. How long to empty water before it refills again- I wanted this to be less in case of constant fillup during rainstorms.
4. Distance to be pumped - how far to the outlet- you want it to be able to pump the above at a distance greater than what you require - I looked for one for 6 feet since I only needed 3 feet to sewage outlet.
For me, the pump that was there would clear out the %26quot;Hole%26quot; in about 4 minutes - it was about 4 gallons of liquid when full.
I replaced it with a pump that can pump out that amount in about 1 minute - just because if a heavy rain comes the pump can't keep up with the rainwater before.
I made sure the height could be adjusted so I can get higher to allow more water to fill in it, before activated - and empty it out in less than 1/2 the old time.
So I would say you want to increase height if you can - no matter what that height is you want it to pump faster than it did, about 1/4 the old time with the new height.
I only used a single speed - I felt that is all that was needed - to pump or not to pump.
Make sure it is braced pretty well too - I had an issue with this - even with the old one. Oh and don't drain to the bottom totally or the pump will suck up dirt if its not finished in there.
Remember the longer a pump runs the shorter its life will be - this is why I did what I did to not have the pump run long periods, plus if I got a really bad storm I know this pump will handle most of that much easier. Not to mention - this pump will last many years no problem. It really is cheaper to by more than you need today - than it is to buy smaller pumps every 10 or 15 years. This pump really could last 60 years in there no problem, that is about four smaller pumps. If the difference today is $30.00 That smaller pump will cost more to replace several times that the purchase of a larger pump.
So I would strongly suggest %26quot; Go Big (Liquid Volume)%26quot;How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?it depends how much water gets in your basement and how often. I don't think they make them with more than one speed. Its measured in how many gallons it pumps out in a hour, they sit in the sump pit and pump as water passes them so they dont even need more than one speed. Just make sure u get one big enough to keep up with the amount of water coming in.. which doesnt take alot..go to like a home depot or something and tel them what u want, and how much water u get...they will point u to the right one.How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?I don't know of one with multiple speeds. You can, of course get different size ones but, your going to pay the price. Make sure you need the one your going to buy. They Can be pretty expensive.
Get one of the newer ones that are self contained and small. they don't look like pumps anymore. Go to a farmers supply place, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?Zoeller is the brand that i had put in recently- mine went out- some brand from menards-the house is only 3 years old so go figure-but the one they replaced it with is cast iron.

If the difference today is $30.00 That smaller pump will cost more to replace several times that the purchase of a larger pump.
So I would strongly suggest %26quot; Go Big (Liquid Volume)%26quot;How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?it depends how much water gets in your basement and how often. I don't think they make them with more than one speed. Its measured in how many gallons it pumps out in a hour, they sit in the sump pit and pump as water passes them so they dont even need more than one speed. Just make sure u get one big enough to keep up with the amount of water coming in.. which doesnt take alot..go to like a home depot or something and tel them what u want, and how much water u get...they will point u to the right one.How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?I don't know of one with multiple speeds. You can, of course get different size ones but, your going to pay the price. Make sure you need the one your going to buy. They Can be pretty expensive.
Get one of the newer ones that are self contained and small. they don't look like pumps anymore. Go to a farmers supply place, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.How do I choose a sump pump to replace the existing one?Zoeller is the brand that i had put in recently- mine went out- some brand from menards-the house is only 3 years old so go figure-but the one they replaced it with is cast iron.

The water pump in my 2000 chrysler 300m is starting to fail - how much should I expect it to be to replace/repair.How much would it cost to replace the water pump on a 3.5L 300M?For a used part, request a quote from somewhere like Greenleaf Auto Recyclers or car-part.com ... for a new part, call your local Chrysler/GM dealer, ask for the parts department, and ask for the cost of the part. While you're at it, ask them for the repair time to replace the water pump. If you can get that, multiply the repair time in hours by about $100 (what places charge around here for mechanical work) and add the cost of the part.

How to replace toilet flange on cast iron soil pipe?
Is there anyway to replace the flange, and if so how would you go about it?How to replace toilet flange on cast iron soil pipe?I'm assuming you're changing the flange because it is broken. I'm also going to assume you have poured lead joints connecting it.
What I would do is this, there are a few ways to cut cast iron pipe, I hope you have a sawzall, if so you need to get a diamond grit blade, prefferably an 8%26quot; one, made for cutting cast iron. the pipe that rises up to the toilet flange, find a spot on it that you can access with a sawzall to cut it, it's a slow process but it will get through eventually. cut the pipe off about a foot or so below the old flange.
But make sure that you make a cut at least 6%26quot; away from any hubs. If the pipe is 4%26quot;, get a 4%26quot; x 3%26quot; Fernco (rubber) adaptor. These are used for joining 2 dissimilar types of pipe together. After this you'll need a piece of 3%26quot; pipe and a toilet flange. (If the floor is bad around the toilet this is also a good time to fix that.)
Put the Fernco adaptor on the cast iron and tighten it on with the hose clamp that comes with it. Put a piece of 3%26quot; pipe into the other end of the Fernco, long enough to go through the floor. Don't tighten it into the clamp yet, the top of this pipe should be flush with the top of the floor, if it's not cut it so it is.
Now, glue this pipe into the new toilet flange. (If you have a basement, this should be alot easier.) Put the pipe through the hole in the floor into the fernco. Measure from the back wall to the center of the toilet flange, line up the bolt slots for the flange with this measurement.
Screw the flange to the floor, use large head phillips screws. It is important to do this. Don't forget to tighten the 3%26quot; pipe into the fernco. Put the toilet back on, I assume you already know how to do this. Check for leaks, and that's it.
Good LuckHow to replace toilet flange on cast iron soil pipe?Couple of acceptable ways to just replace the flange.
1. Using a small chisel, cut all the old lead out of the old flange around the pipe. This should allow you to remove the existing flange. Purchase a new flange, caulk with oakum and pour lead and tamp with caulking iron to secure and seal. Secure new flange to floor.
2. Purchase new flange replacement that actually fits over existing cast pipe and seals securely using bolts that compress seal. Securely anchor to floor. This may require removing a little flooring material around the pipe to allow flange to fit.
2a. They also make a PVC replacement that fits inside a 4%26quot; cast iron and tightens the seal using bolts. However, you may still need to cut the cast iron pipe to get the replacement flange to fit tight against the floor. The cast iron pipe can be trimmed easily with a small angle grinder. Just watch the sparks.How to replace toilet flange on cast iron soil pipe?Go to your local plumbing supply store and tell them the problem. They make a PVC replacement for cast iron, the problem is having room to put it on. If it is a concrete floor, you are looking at busting up some concrete. If it is a conventional floor you will have a much easier job. Good luck!How to replace toilet flange on cast iron soil pipe?If you have a busted flange that isn't too badly broken out, they have repair parts for them.

If you pay somebody to fix it, you may as well double the cost.

How much will it be to replace an exhaust on Fiat Punto?
My exhaust on my Fiat Punto 03 reg all of a sudden sounded like a tank. Does anyone know how much it will be to fix? ThanksHow much will it be to replace an exhaust on Fiat Punto?Depends if you want to replace the unit yourself but unless you have either know how and tools /equipment leave it to the experts.
I prefer National of the larger quick fit chains but they all tend to want to replace the whole exhaust rather that just the part that is gone and normally if they replace the lot they give a 5 year guarantee otherwise just 1 year on a single part.
If you were considering doing yourself you would fist of all need to find out what part or parts of the exhaust have holed and to do that you could just run the engine get someone to place a rag over the end of the exhaust pipe just for a few seconds at a time while the other person looks for where it is holed.
If it is just the back box and the rest of the exhaust is fine you perhaps go to a motor factor and buy a replacement part .
As I say if you are not familiar with the item and don't have the tools you must go to a garage : get three quoat for three garages and then chose who you trust the most.
I suspect it may cost around 100 to 120 pounds for a full exhaust.
Good luck
PretenderHow much will it be to replace an exhaust on Fiat Punto?probably more than it would cost to replace the punto that is stuck to your broken exhaust...How much will it be to replace an exhaust on Fiat Punto?just depends where u have it fitted,say around 70 quid

How much will it cost me to replace my 2000 VW Passat Heater Core?
How much will it cost me to replace my 2000 VW Passat Heater Core?Parts and Labor? Not sure how much this might run. ThanksHow much will it cost me to replace my 2000 VW Passat Heater Core?It depends where you take it to and if you have an air conditioner. To replace it the mechanic has to take apart the dash. I had a quote from a dealer for my Ford Taurus 93 and it would have been $600, for some reason if you have an air conditioner rather than just a vent system it takes longer work. A friend of my husband did it for $150 and a couple cases of beer. The part itself is less that $100.curly hair myspace cursors
How do I replace/install an interior door and frame?
I need to replace the interior doors of my home, they are very dated. I see at lowe's or home depot I can purchase them, but I have never installed one before.How do I replace/install an interior door and frame?If you want to save the existing molding, start by gently scoring the frame along the wall with a razor knife. Get a small flat bar and gently pry the molding until you can see where the finish nails are. Use the smallest nail set or punch available and drive the nails through the molding and remove.
Remove the door from the frame as well as any shims. Pry the frame off the studs and header or saws-all them off.
Now the important stuff. Carefully cut the bottom of the jambs for height. The top of the jamb should be within 1/4 inch of the header. Remove the door from the new unit and install the jamb using finish nails and shims to ENSURE it is level, square and true. Take your time as that is the most important part. Hang the new door and test it. If things look good, replace the molding, set the nails, fill and paint/stain.
Good luck

How much does it cost to replace a steering column in a '93 Lincoln?

How do you replace a shower head pipe?
The showerhead pipe is copper and all the pipe threads broke off at showerhead. Can I add threads to the remaining pipe with a tool or something? If not, is the pipe sticking out of the wall easy to replace?How do you replace a shower head pipe?Yeah the shower head arm should unscrew from its socket. The threads are sealed on the other end though so you will need to use a set of Channel Lock pliers.
When installing the replacement use thread sealant - teflon tape will do. be sure to protect the finish of the new arm with a rag or some thin cardboard so you don't mar the finish.How do you replace a shower head pipe?I don't recommend adding threads.
Try to remove the existing piece of pipe with a pair of pliers. Next buy a new piece and reinstall it. I recommend wrapping the threads with teflon tape (about two or three wraps).How do you replace a shower head pipe?all u need to do is take a rubber handle pair of pliers and stick one end in the shower neck (the part that has broken off) then turn it counter clock wise to unscrew it. then put teflon tape on the end furthest away from the curve and insert it into the wall and screw in clock wise. add the shower head and test for leaks.

How do I replace a sliding glass door with a window?
I need to replace a glass door with a wall and frame a window. Are there any how to plans out there to use?How do I replace a sliding glass door with a window?I'm assuming that this is for a patio door. When was your house built? That will determine if you need a size for new construction or retro-fit. If you want to replace the doors AND the frame, you can order the unit prehung (go to Lowe's or Home Depot. You can get a quality product for a good price) and get a contractor to do the actual installation. The contractor would then determine the RO (rough opening). For instance, if you have two 3' x 6'8%26quot; panels (6' X 6'8%26quot; total, which is standard size), your rough opening would probably need to be about 741/2%26quot; width x 81 1/2%26quot; height. That would leave room for the contractor to shim the doors before the brick is put back in place.
I hope that this helps.How do I replace a sliding glass door with a window?First you need to decide the size %26amp; type of window you plan to install prior to building a frame and closing in the wall. Do you want a double hung, casement, glider type window, etc. Once you determine that, then what size. Go to your lumber yard or home center with that window size to get the size of the rough opening you will need. Fortunately since you already have a door in place then the old opening already has a header installed and framing will be easier. Good luckHow do I replace a sliding glass door with a window?First things first, decide what size window you want to put in placement of the door, Being in construction as a rough framer for the past 15 years i can tell you this, if you want to put in say a 3foot by 4 foot window the first number is the width and the second number is the height, once you have decided what size you want then you have to decide if you want to center the window in the opening you all ready have or hold it off to one side or the other, once you have decided where you are going to locate it then comes the time to frame it in, now back to the number that i had mentioned before, if you bought a 3 x 4 window then you would frame the opening at 3 foot wide by 4 feet tall i know it sounds weird but the windows actually come out smaller than you think, it allows a 1/2 inch on either side to allow for shimming and leveling the window then when you put up drywall it can go back to meet the window, there is some books at home depot and Lowe's that can show you a better detail of how it all goes together, now what i have described above ,is what we deal with everyday is for standard vinyl windows, i hope this will help you and good luck with your project.

Good luckHow do I replace a sliding glass door with a window?First things first, decide what size window you want to put in placement of the door, Being in construction as a rough framer for the past 15 years i can tell you this, if you want to put in say a 3foot by 4 foot window the first number is the width and the second number is the height, once you have decided what size you want then you have to decide if you want to center the window in the opening you all ready have or hold it off to one side or the other, once you have decided where you are going to locate it then comes the time to frame it in, now back to the number that i had mentioned before, if you bought a 3 x 4 window then you would frame the opening at 3 foot wide by 4 feet tall i know it sounds weird but the windows actually come out smaller than you think, it allows a 1/2 inch on either side to allow for shimming and leveling the window then when you put up drywall it can go back to meet the window, there is some books at home depot and Lowe's that can show you a better detail of how it all goes together, now what i have described above ,is what we deal with everyday is for standard vinyl windows, i hope this will help you and good luck with your project.
