Porch Boards (T&G) Filling the Gap
Hi All, i noticed another current / similar porched thread but decided i'd still start one here. I have a couple boards on our back porch entrance that need replacing (rotting at the end). I went to a salvage place and found some older boards with the right width, thickness and T&G. Of course, the b...

Re: Advice on sealing pipe conduit through basement wall
That's a good point - i'm going to make a habit of going in there more often - and definitely after any heavy rain!

Re: Advice on sealing pipe conduit through basement wall
Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you very much for all the feedback and ideas. I did a bit of desktop searching to find out what products are often used for sealing conduits or ducts. For example, i found a product from Polywater that is meant to seal communication lines through conditions. ...

Re: Advice on sealing pipe conduit through basement wall
phil - thanks for all the feedback and ideas. I appreciate it. And I do get your point about consider doing things with new materials and methods where it makes sense. To my problem at hand, I may be over thinking the entire thing - after all, i assume it's been as it is for a good 20+ years and may...

Re: Advice on sealing pipe conduit through basement wall
1918ColonialRevival > Yes, just this weekend i cut the two rubber hoses from the well that were still going through the conduit and terminated (were cut off) just inside the wall. That picture inside was taken prior to cutting (I should have noted). So, right now, the only thing going through is the...

Advice on sealing pipe conduit through basement wall
I wondered if I could get some collective input on a situation. In the back of our house is a sunken concrete enclosure where a since abandoned well exists and a yard hydrant. The two well lines and the galvanized yard hydrant run through a pipe conduit. That comes out in the basement wall. Periodic...

Re: Top Sash Meeting Rail - Bowed - Leave it?
phil - wanted to get back and thank you for the very helpful response (as always). It gives me some good information to go on. Appreciate it! Have spent time getting all the glass out (a few broken panes) and sanding. Will be deciding what to do on the bow. Again, thank you.

Re: steamer for steam box
I know for sure there are others on this forum with much more experience and better input - because that's where i got my info. But I'll add that I got an old Jiffy Steamer (i think a Model: J-4000). I got an old one off craigslist and it works well. It has decent capacity versus some of the smaller...

Top Sash Meeting Rail - Bowed - Leave it?
Hi All, got back to chipping away at old glazing and removing panes in the top sashes of the four windows in progress. On one of the top sashes, the meeting rail has a bit of a bow. I'm curious to get opinions on whether you would bother fixing or just leave it alone. These top sashes were all gener...
