Handy-Man Corner
I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

Would've saved me a little money too, but right now I have more money than time so I went the quicker and easier route. I'm not a real big fan of drop ceilings in residential applications but I think it works well enough in this case.
You did the right thing... it really does look nice! Sunflower wallpaper, huh? Welcome to my world. There were 3 different wallpaper designs I had to remove on the North wall. Crazy crap too. One was a fairly modern floral pattern, another one was the gold box crap from the 60's or 70's, then the ugliest of them all... multi-colored swirls from the 80's. I had to scrape all of that crap, sand, patch, sand, patch, then apply Kilz.

That wasn't the toughest part of the remodel though. Gonzo was out hunting, and I had to remove the cast-iron sink so I could install a stainless steel. Holy crap, those things are heavy! I ended up losing my grip once and the damn thing fell and broke the shelf inside the cabinet. It damn near hit the water valves too. That would have sucked ass!

My mom is coming up in March to help me finish the kitchen remodel and we're going to do a complete remodel to the bathroom upstairs. The idiots that did the original remodel didn't use cement board in the shower and now we have tiles cracking and bulging. As it is, they didn't even use spacers for the tiles, so we're just going to rip it all out and start over.

Yeah, sunflowers. I'll attach a pic of it. Except for my son's room, the entire upper level of our house was wallpapered when we moved in. I stripped the entry, hallway, living room and main bath right away. Did the kitchen, master bath, dining room and sitting room a few years later. Still have the master bedroom and guest room to do, who knows when I'll get to those.

Good lawd! I can't believe for a second that someone found that sunflower wallpaper attractive! Well, I suppose they would in KS, but not NE.

My favorite was the gold foil and pine trees that went all 12 feet up my entry wall. That was ****ing sweet.

One of our bathrooms was splatter painted with a gold paint that they also splattered all over the tub/shower inset.

And it wasn't just a normal paint. It was some textured shit that was raised up from the rest of the paint/drywall.

Probably Zolatone or something similar, that was all the rage in the late 90s. I used to work for a guy who really pushed that crap, and people would pay his absurd prices for it. He never bothered to tell them that the surfaces we coated with it would never be the same once it was applied.

A year ago about this time, I purchased and had a Chaska gas insert fireplace installed in my home.

This weekend, for the 3rd time this winter and the 4th time since last march, the F'ing thing isn't working. Last month, I explained it would be the final time I was polite about it. Last night and tonight....won't work at all. A month ago, I watched the tech take it much further apart than the previous 3, replace the igniting mechanism and the faulty remote control.

It's not F'ing working again and I've found my anger button touched.

Monday during business hours, someone is going to have a really bad day.

What is my best chance at satisfaction at this point? I mean, I'm looking for something more logical(rip) than hooking onto it with my truck, dragging it to their location and driving it through their front door. Something more rational, but just as satisfying.

Yeah, I can't, because other than a big blue WHOOOOOF there is no fire available at this time.

This question is in regards to Antique Home lighting. I have in my possession some lighting that I believe to be late 19teens, but could be newer. I'm trying to determine if it is of any value. Any informed opinion on this matter is welcome and appreciated.

Thank you.

I just happen to have a friend who's into Antique Home Lighting. I'll give him a call and have him come by and take a look at it.

And now for the serious answer, I seem to recall Dave Lane knowing a lot about antiques and collectibles, might shoot him a PM.

Yes It's brass. the glass is either etched or painted with a gold/brass color but all original as far I can tell.
