What would be the best way to fix this concrete entry way
Comments (0)We have a contemporary house, the entry and steps and the patio/deck are concrete. We would like it to match the house style, but the finish is terrible, uneven and not square/plumbed. (See phots). What would be the best way to re-finish it? (We are in Northern California, so no freeze problems.) Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Comments (2)You could just repaint the ceiling ... or get the popcorn removed and then repaint it. Be aware that popcorn ceilings can contain asbestos; the stuff is harmless unless disturbed, but if the popcorn is going to be removed, you'd want to have it tested to assure proper, safe removal....See MoreWhat is the best way to fix this leaking sewer connection?
Comments (3)The Fernco couplers are legitimate, legal repairs. I have used them. The issue you have is that, because the glued surfaces can't be taken apart, when you cut the old fitting out, you have now shortened each pipe so that the old piping will now not reach the new fitting. What you need as a replacement ell is a 'long turn' ell. If you can get a Fernco LT ell, great! If all you can get is a hard plastic LT ell, then one of the pipes will likely need to be cut further back and a new pipe section and straight coupler added with the LT ell....See MoreBest way to fix this broken "dowel" on a very heavy table.
Comments (10)I think solid lumber would be much stronger than plywood in this application-- in plywood half the grain is running the wrong direction. I'd save this by cutting a tight fitting mortise-- a square hole-- in the end of the stretcher where it broke off, probably 4" deep then make a new "slip" tenon that would be glued into the mortise and function just as the old one did. It's a bit awkward to do that in the end of a long board, but not too bad. I'd drill out most of the waste using a small forstner bit in a hand drill then square up and fit the sides with a mortise chisel. This is not a situation where you want to rely on either glue or mechanical fasteners. A well-fitted wood joint will be pretty much as strong as the original. (The original tenon looks slightly under-sized to me, i'd have made it a tad bigger.)...See MoreLinda King
