    Undermount sink issue

    So, I got these. I can't detach the entire sink to clean the whoole underside of the counter and the top of the sink edge because there are pipes and an Insinkerator to contend with and I don't have the plumbing skill or tools to make that happen. What cleaning product and adhesive can I get in...

    Undermount sink issue

    So you'd remove the bar of wood and just place those straps across the back and front of the underside of the sink? I don't think I understand. Repair brackets look like what, can you show me a link? Honestly, I can't stand anything in kitchens that is made to look great but complicates repair...

    Undermount sink issue

    (In the interest of being on the same page, I'm in Canada. So some similiarities to the UK, some to the US with materials, etc) Our undermount kitchen sink appears to be separating one one side ever so slightly from the quartz countertop. There's an angle there that wasn't visible before. We...

    Yeah, I'm beginning to realise that. I think we'll have to pass on this project and find similar lighting that is made to be more straight forward to install rather than trying to modify this for home use without knowing enough about what we're doing or having to do important changes to our...

    Want to switch out a kitchen faucet

    From the manual, I'm referring to these parts... 6, 7, and 8. We were convinced we had kept those all these years and they're nowhere to be found.

    Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you said in your post. There's a reason I come here instead of North American sites and forums around me.

    Well all the ones I've ever seen are just connecting lamps to the + and - wires in the ceiling. Nothing more complicated than that. But what I don't know about is the physical mounting to the ceiling with these lamps. I'll go to that forum, thanks.

    We want to buy them because we need new overhead kitchen lights, we love the look and that's about it.

    Thank you SO much for all that explanation. Extremely useful. I was told they are each about 14 inches in diameter. I assume the person means along the opening on the lamp opening. But they literally said, "look, they're in good shape, they are in one piece, for anything about their...

    Sorry, you're going over my head, what are ballasts and why would they be a problem here?

    Want to switch out a kitchen faucet

    Here are some shots... Here's a quick video to help see it all at once. Sorry about it being sideways, I couldn't convert the video to get it to stand upright. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15Qh8CWCkGRhmMHE0FrTtzWCagjMnpTOr/view?usp=drive_link

    Want to switch out a kitchen faucet

    We moved into the apartment we bought a year ago and after several other projects, we'd like to now set about replacing the infuriating kitchen faucet with one we used to use years ago and weren't able to install where we were renting. The questions are... Are kitchen faucets relatively easy...

    I've got the chance to get 3 holophane lights but I don't know about their adaptability for residential use. Namely, are they run on regular household power (110v here)? And how would one hang these?

    Can I still use these toggle anchors I just installed?

    That's what I thought... ok thanks your help is jogging my mind for what to do. The two sides are like this right now... see how they're a bit sagged? It's like 2-3mm

    Can I still use these toggle anchors I just installed?

    No, I get that, I'm saying to go back to JUST the bolt, hanging the mirror off just the bolts is not advisable?

    Can I still use these toggle anchors I just installed?

    I was thinking about, in place of the washer, some kind of hook with a hole on top for a screw. Like a washer with a hook underneath. I have no idea where to find that, but I might see if "ook" have anything. But just off the bolt isn't going to work right?

    Can I still use these toggle anchors I just installed?

    :!::!: Idiot alert :!::!: I drilled holes and installed the plastic toggle bolt anchors only to realise (stupidly) that what I'm hanging is a mirror. I was thinking I'd hang the mirror off d-hooks off of screws so I installed toggle anchors. But now I just realised... what the hell are the...

    Borescopes

    Trying to pick one of these up for DIY projects. Anyone have any knowledge of whether the WiFi models that display on your phone or tablet are better than the models that come with a screen of their own? 1080p screens are pretty much good quality now regardless of who makes them so I can see the...

    Plastic anchors, fasteners in concrete?

    Just wanted to come back in here and say thanks to all of you. Firstly, I went and drilled a 1/4" hole, useda #6-10 anchor/fastener but used a #10 screw from the next set up instead of the #8 the #6-10s came with. Here's how it looks, complete with the same stripped hole reused just made a bit...
