  • Re: Cigarette Smoke Odor

    Not the best news for you here.. but I was told to paint a "break room" once.. with Kilz.  The smoke smell, and stains came through, in about a week.  Was told to repaint it, which I did.. twice.. with the best Kilz.  It was like a horror movie.. this stuff came right through.  Yes, this was an extreme case.. but I ...

  • Re: Is garbage disposal necessary with dishwasher?

    Hi, Every dishwasher I know of.. acts as a disposal.  And their drains are not directed to, nor work in conjunction with a sink disposal.  With or without a dishwasher, food wastes can cause build up in drain pipes.. but most typically due to grease accumulation.  There are digester products which help to minimize that.  If it ...

  • Re: POST REPORTS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

    Paxi, Trust me.. I defend people's rights... both sides of the fence.  I used to write "Nasty-grams" to companies who had failed me, or others.  Often got good results.  Nuf said there.

  • Re: Whole house surge protector

    Hi, Just a few comments.  I used to do electronic design work..and before that radio tower work.  Most all electronics today, are protected to some degree from the high voltage surges induced into the power lines from a nearby strike, and fare pretty well.  Good grounding, and tight connections actually help. The transformers are ...

  • Re: aluminum window surround touch up?

    Hi, You've cut through the black anodizing.. a process to keep aluminum from oxidizing.  You may be hard pressed to make a perfect match.. but black fingernail polish might be easiest.. unless you have a LOT of scratches.  Most people will not notice if your fix is slightly off.  If it's black.. you may still see the flaw.. ...

  • Re: closet door track, laminate floor

    You may have already resolved your concern.. but as a contractor, and flooring installer too.. I'd not screw it down.  Actually it moves VERY LITTLE with moisture expansion being the biggest factor.  But, double sided foam adhesive tape is quite strong for the little amount of retention force that you need.  It will not leave ...

  • Re: POST REPORTS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

    Hi to all, I just read all of the "Post Reports at your own risk".. and am trying to understand.  I am a contractor and handyman, just moved (due to marriage), and am interested in Angies list, to let new customers know of my work.  No reports yet.. but I have several new customers (happy ones) now informed of the list.. as ...
