How to install window screen for my single hung window?

09 Jun

Ok, I bought this roll of window screen from Home Depot but I had no idea how to fix it on my window, which is a really crappy, old-school single hung window. It has no railing whatsoever. I do not intend to get a frame and what not – I’m a college dude who’s staying here for just one year, so any sort of ghetto repair would suffice, as long as I have some window screen splashed across my window.
the picture of my window:

Problem 1: I’m on third floor, so I can go outside and nail that thing across the window….

Problem 2: That’s as much my window would open, which makes it difficult to nail/tape the screen to the window frame….

Problem3: if I stick the screen to the outward side of the window, there’d be this big gap between the screen and the window, which makes the whole thing uneffective….

what should I do???
I hate flies and weird insects, so please help !!
thanks

How do I install interior basement perimeter french drains and sump pump basin?

30 May

I am attempting to install about 90 feet of french drains along the interior perimeter of my basement directing torwards a sump pump basin. I have already used a laser level to find the low spot (pump location) and have a pretty go idea about the layout of the system.

The plan was to create an 8″ wide ditch (8″ to 10″ deep) along the perimeter and fill with gravel and corrugated 4″ drain pipe. There is a “cloth wrap” available that installs over the pipe to prevent dirt and debris from ever clogging the pipe perferations.

Once the pitch is established the pipes will be directed into the sump pump basin. The sump basin is a standard “sump pump basin” from Lowes or Home Depot with a 1/2hp pump with float auto-activation.

When everything is put into place, I will back-fill with more gravel and then patch trench with cement leaving a 1/2 inch gap along the wall for any water from the walls to drain in to.

I need help on the proper tools and prep work as well as supplies to use.

Install wood floors for a new home?

25 May

Hi,
I am going to buy a new house. After I sign the contract, they start to build. If I want everywhere wood floors instead of carpets then I need to pay more $8000+tax. Can I go directly with builder instead of agent to get a better/cheaper deal? Or I should use those new carpets for couple years and then change them to wood floor…will it cheaper if I buy material at home depot and hire someone to install?

Is it worth it to install your own carpet?

19 May

I’m fixing up my house and I’ve been able to do a lot of the work myself and save a lot of money, but I’ve been pricing carpet and it doesn’t look like it would be that much cheaper to do it myself. The price for installation at Home Depot is $97. The price at another carpet store in town is $79. I have looked at carpet remnant places and the carpet wasn’t that much cheaper there than it was at the normal stores. And when you factor in the rental/purchase of the equipment that I would need (knee kicker, seaming equipment), it comes out to the same price. Is there something I’m missing here?

Can I get an air gap at home depot? And how would I install it?

15 May

When I run my dishwasher it leaks underneath the sink. I had a plumber look at it and he said there was no air gap. I don’t even know what that is but ok. Can I get that at home depot? What the heck does an air gap even do?
When I had my home inspection done we found out that when the dishwasher was running it leaked underneath the sink. But when the water is running from the facet there is no leak. The plumber came out and said that there was an air gap missing and that’s why it was leaking.

How do I install electric fire exit signs into my emergency lighting units?

08 May

I have an emergency lighting unit on each floor of my building. The problem is that the boxes have no exit sign. Can I remove the cover and replace it with an exit sign? Would it fit? Are the boxes and signs standard sizes? If so I would buy the signs at home depot and have an electrician install them.

Where is the best place to purchase hardwood flooring that will also install it?

07 May

I’m wondering where the best place to purchase hardwood flooring is. I would like to buy it someplace that also will do the installation as well as take up my old carpet. Do I trust someone like Lowe’s or Home Depot? A furniture store that carries hardwood? I want a good price, but I also want a product that will last and someone putting it in who knows what they are doing. Also, my home is an older home and I have decorated it with a lot of antiques. I want a rustic looking hardwood…nothing real high gloss. Any good websites where I can view different kinds of hardwood? Thanks….=)
