In my mind it looks great.

I don't see anything wrong with it

[utee94 15708]

Ok I have completed the propane grill project.  I’ll show some before pics then some after snd then talk about it a little bit.

 

[utee94 15708]

And after:

 

[utee94 15708]

Summary:

Condition: The thing was obviously really dirty.  Lots of caked up grease and grime on the grates, sides, lid, everywhere.  Burner 3 from right would shoot out flames at me.  Burner 4 from right was very hard to light.  The ceramic flavorizer/heat distribution bricks had mostly disintegrated, and tons of it had fallen through to the bottom.  The cast stainless steel burners were heavily covered with surface rust but otherwise in good shape.  The igniters/gas collector boxes were completely rusted through and had broken off and fallen into the basin.  The carryover tubes at the back were badly rusted but only one was completely broken.  The knobs were corroded and the inserts were all melted and misshapen from the heat, so they didn't really work for turning the D-type valves.

Steps:

I took it all apart so I could clean it.  First I tried to wash the grates with degreasing soap and water, that did nothing. Power-washing helped a little.  But really, the only real progress occurred after I took the angle grinder with a wire cup wheel to it.

I also used the angle grinder and wire cup to clean all the rust off the stainless steel burners, that was really rewarding.  All of the holes were fine, but after washing with vinegar and grinding the rust off, I went back and blew it all out with pressurized air.

The old knobs were shot, I ordered inexpensive replacement knobs to replace them.

Two valves were shot, I pulled both and took them apart to inspect them and one was really sticky, the other had some broken bits inside.  Bought two new ones to replace-- they're almost identical except they're built upside down, odd but liveable.

I replaced all three igniter/gas collectors and I replaced the electric automatic igniter switch.  None of that had EVER worked since we bought the house, now it's all like new.

The rear gas carryover tubes are in rough, rusted out shape, but only one was completely broken.  I confirmed the others still work, and I'm having a buddy who works at a metal fab shop make up a new one for me to replace the last one.  The new igniter/collectors also act as carryover tubes at the front, so everything works basically as designed, until I can get that new fabbed piece in there.

I replaced the flavorizer/heat dissipator ceramic bricks, with the new style ceramic plates that the newest version of my grill uses.

That all makes it sound easy but so much of the grill pieces were assembled with stainless steel screws and bolts and nuts and washers, and they were all thoroughly rusted into place.  I spent a lot of time with the angle grinder cutoff wheel just sawing through stainless steel, and a lot of time with the Dremel tool and diamond cutoff wheels for the smaller more hard-to-reach places.  Every single burner had to have the rusted-out bolts cut off, all three igniters had left rusted trim pieces bolted to the side, etc.  It took a lot of time.

Total cost for materials came to just over $200.  As discussed in this thread above, the cheapest whole drop-in replacement I could find, would have been $700 uninstalled.  And the actual direct replacement for my exact grill, would have been around $4,000 uninstalled.  This unit has extremely heavy duty cast stainless steel burners and the rest of it is very well built, so I'm pretty happy I went and rehabbed instead of buying a cheaper new one.

For anyone interested, I tried a dozen different ways to clean the stainless-- Barkeepers Friend, is definitely your friend.

I brought this up briefly earlier, but does anyone have experience hanging floating shelves on a porcelain tile backsplash? I also only have one stud available so would need to use some anchors. The more I research this project, the more confident I feel that I will fuck it up.

I haven't tried this but I wouldn't trust a hollow wall anchor to hold a floating shelf mount unless you know for certain the load will be light. Even with two studs, I keep the load light on any of our floating shelves. Floating shelves are just a very awkward distribution of weight.

[dieucla98 2767]

Got a new toy. Works so damn well - it's going to save me hours of time squaring wood up and has me excited to launch more projects.

Half way put together here but you get the idea - produces dead 90 after a two passes.

Is there any specialized anchor that would be sufficient? The shelves are pretty heavy by themselves. I've also struggled to find anchors of adequate depth, as I believe I would need 3/4" for the 1/4" tile + 1/2" drywall(??).

I've got some experience there.  It can be done, but i's gonna be tough.  We've had luck with these for heavy applications, but have only used them in drywall.  I don't see why they wouldn't work through tile.  How thick are the tiles?

https://www.wingits.com/products/master-anchor-super-duty-fastener-with-offset-faceplate/

You'll need to use a diamond-tipped drill bit and go very slow with a pilot hole.  And, don't over-tighten the anchor.  Get it just snug enough where the bracket won't move, but if you tighten it too much, you can crack the porcelain.  Use a good floating shelf bracket like the one below and try to do an anchor ever 6" OC, and you should be fine.

[hookem2010 2533]

Tiles are 1/4". At the hardware store I only ever see the diamond-edged hole saw bits, which is what I thought I need to go with. Is that correct? And the mounts you linked look pretty much like the ones that came with the shelves.

Yeah.  Most of them are hole saw style, even for small diameters like what you're doing.  It may be worth a trip to a tile supply store to get a good bit or two.  Some of the cheap ones you find on Amazon and Home Depot / Lowes get dull very quickly.

Can you just carve out a hole in the tile big enough to fit the anchor + head against the drywall instead of against the tile? That could open you up to some of the more heavy duty options out there and you don't have to worry about cracking the tile when you tighten the screw down. Having a small gap between the shelf and the anchor where the tile is carved out shouldn't weaken anything too much I don't think.

Nice. Is that the 8”? I wanted one pretty bad, but couldn’t justify/afford one. Went with a benchtop. Still in the box.

6" version, too cheap for the all out splurge. Also, during the odd time I need wider planks flattened, I'm planning on using the planer trick where you essentially hang the board on a sled and pass it through.

I need to get all my stuff out and going. I’ve gotta get my shop straightened up because I need to build some stuff.

Any of yall ever mess with epoxy?

Yeah, like, bar-top epoxy and resin clear-coat?  I had a nice piece of live edge black walnut that I coated and then turned into my dining room light fixture.  I think I posted some pics at the old joint.

Question about painting baseboards...

They're in decent shape, outside of door frames and windowsills, which have a decent amount of chipping. How thoroughly do I need to sand the chip-free areas prior to painting?

[thunderlounge 7619]

clean well, scuff sand, should be fine.

 

[utee94 15708]

Yeah if they're in your kitchen or bathroom I'd probably use something extra to clean, like TSP.  It's a cleaner/degreaser that works really well before repainting cabinetry and trim.

[SurlyGator 822]

So a couple of months ago our main garage door broke.  The metal piece that went across the top of the door that the opener was attached to pulled out and ripped out several screws along the way.  I called a garage door repair guy, who took one look and said can't fix it, has to be replaced, and quoted me $1,800 for a new door and opener.  Told them I would get back to them.

This past weekend, I got to thinking...  If all that happened was that those screws pulled out, I could probably just get the piece back in place, drill some new pilot holes and put in some new screws.  90 minutes by a rank amateur and $4.27 at Home Depot later, I once again have a fully functioning garage door with more screws now than it had before to minimize the chance of it happening again.  Shame on me for not investigating before calling a professional, but the professional can kiss right off with his quote.

From the pro's perspective, he can't risk the insurance claim if he "fixes it" like you did and it breaks and you sue him.  So from his POV it's a full replacement.  But yeah, what you did works fine for a while, maybe even a long while.  I got 3 extra years out of a door before, but eventually it will get out of whack.  Just look out for it and be careful.  Garage springs are one of the most dangerous things out there, and flexed metal is a good way to get it to unspring.  But if you are careful and stay on top of it, it should be fine

I fixed one once before I knew how dangerous it was.  Told a guy back then, that I think is maybe handier than Norm Abrams even, and he gave me a scolding.  Never again.  I watched videos of them failing and no thank you

Bought a used whiskey barrel from distillery and made this.  Wish I had another at bat at some of the curved cuts but I’m quite pleased overall, imperfections and all.  Put in a motion light and shelf in there after scraping a shit-ton of carbon off the inside.

 

 

[UT_OB1 2197]

Don’t know if this is the right thread for this but I’ll try. 
 

I built a tree fort (deck) for my kids. I want to put a ~150’ zip line starting about 15’ in the air. No clue which brand to buy. This will be for 10-13 year olds (to 40 year old for em  ). I do want one with a seat or loop / foot stand.  Max weight of 250 is plenty. Most of the Amazon ones I see are easily 300 lb if not 400 lb. Any recommendations?

 

 

Edited September 17 by UT_OB1

[Jkwellborn 6577]

Get one that will hold more weight than you want. In case you ever get drunk and decide to use it. Then, add coverage on your homeowners and health insurance for it. In case you ever get drunk and decide to use it.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4959]

I would be planning on using it sober. But also drunk. 

[UT_OB1 2197]

Oh I absolutely plan on using it sober and drunk, but I’m under 200 lbs now, so if someone tells me the best zip line is Brand X but it only holds 250 lbs, that’ll work.

I bought a 200 foot zip line four years ago for our ranchito and it’s been great.  Rogue Series from zip line gear.  It was $600 without the tensioning kit that I realized I needed after the purchase.  

I watched a shit ton of YouTubes for the zip line math.  Tested it out with a bucket full of rocks and first one too slow, second one too hot and crashed into the tree.  Also bought extra bungee cord brake so kids are slowed down twice before the actual no-shit brake gets hit.

Vanity light installation question. I'm replacing a super dated fixture and was going to use the same light I had placed in another bathroom, as seen below. However, it mounts onto just the little metal strip that fits in the outlet box, or whatever it is called.

Unfortunately, as you can see, it is not aligned with the bathroom counter and this sort of mount does not allow me to shift it the couple inches to the side I need to in order to center.

For other vanity lighting with longer bases/covers for the wiring portion, do they typically come with a mounting system that would allow me make that 2-3" shift? The previous light was definitely centered, and I believe it came with some sort of mounting plate that I guess allowed the light to not be centered directly over the outlet box.

Edited September 18 by hookem2010

[fattyflattie 4633]

Sometimes you just got to move the box over to get it right.   I’ve had to do it several times and not a huge deal.   

[Jkwellborn 6577]

Yeah, the fixture should cover if you have to move the hole a small amount.

[harpercollins 394]

can someone mansplain how to order a pocket-door system to me? 

1. I want to spend more for pocket door hardware that actually works, so I'm considering the Hawa Junior. Any opinions on this?
2. I'm also getting varying info on what size door my tiny wall can accommodate. I have 57.5" from stud to stud--does that mean I have to use a 24" door or is it possible a 28" door could work? 
3. The pre-drilled upper track comes in 55.125" and 63". Is the 55" big enough for the 57.5" opening or should I buy the bigger one and find someone to cut it down?

 

[harpercollins 394]

I linked the wrong Hawa Junior in my post earlier.

I think I answered my own question for #3. 

The length of the running track must be shorter than the diagonal clearance (P2) by at least 80 mm (3 5/32'').

LMB = inside clearance
LMH = inside height
STB = sliding door width
P2 = diagonal clearance
LS = running track

That seems to be correct for this product.  Rule of thumb is that your rough opening should give 1/2" on either side.  So, 56-1/2" total frame size.  So you could potentially get a 28" if the door slab goes edge to edge on the track, but I'm guessing you'll have to go with 27" to get it to fit fully in the cavity.  

Anything by Hafele is going to be a good product.  That's mostly what we use for pocket door hardware, custom hinges, etc.  Spend the money on good hardware.  Especially if you're slab is solid core.  

I'd also highly recommend getting a solid plywood pocket door frame if you can find it.  Heavier, but easier for install since it won't twist as much, and gives more rigidity to the frame to keep the door slab from rubbing.   And, use the correct size screws when hanging your drywall.  Nothing worse than a screw head poking through the back side and scratching the shit out of your door slab.

I'd also highly recommend getting a solid plywood pocket door frame if you can find it.  Heavier, but easier for install since it won't twist as much, and gives more rigidity to the frame to keep the door slab from rubbing.   

I had planned on getting my framer to frame out the frame since I’m building the wall from scratch. Will that work?

If the wall is being built from scratch, then it should definitely work.  Is this a new partition wall or are you modifying an existing load-bearing wall?  If load bearing, just make sure your header is adequately sized and doesn't affect the height of the rough opening.  

[harpercollins 394]

Yes just a new partition wall. It does have a decent header already. Just need to finish framing it out.
