Do It Yourself (DIY) - July 2007

It's about 11 years old so I put it out on the patio.
I'd like to wax it with some type of leather dye or other experimental mixture that will give the brick red leather
more of a burgundy color, then oil it to make it a bit more water resistant.
Would a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine do it? I'd like the smell.
And remember, the dye would need to be something that wouldn't rub off, so that's why I'm not so sure about shoe dye.
It's not worth it to pay a professional; I see it as an art project, and would like suggestions...

The area is approx. 11ft. tall 5ft wide and 2ft deep. My husband and I have done many DIY projects, (tiled, tin ceilings, etc) We are just wondering if this one is too difficult. We like the stack rock look. Can anyone offer suggestions on ways we can fit this into our budget. (which is minimal, lol!) or can estimate a cost of having this professionally done?

Hello,
A while ago I saw an ad in a daily newspaper for an anti-mould stick. You could simply apply it on your bathroom sealant, and it would prevent mould for a number of years. Now, I can not remember what it was called or where to get it. Any help?

I am looking for this stick - NOT for sprays/bleach/sealant etc.
Many thanks!

I am contemplating a new metal roof for my mobile home. It will be installed over an existing metal roof on which I have installed 1x2 furring strips screwed to the trusses 24" inches OC for attachment and ventilation. I have included 3/4" styrofoam for insulation and sound deadening. I have almost no roof jacks on the front side of the roof, but on the back side the jacks are clustered together in a small space. In a perfect world, I want all the jacks to wind up in a the valley or flat of the metal rather than on one of the ribs. Is there a method of trimming the metal to accomplish this?, or am I forced to use a lead jack if I wind up with a pipe through the rib? Sealing the side of the jack towards the peak is another question I have, Do I cut the metal and slide the edge of the jack under the metal and then seal with mastic or collect the water on the top edge and check it every year? Any experienced installers out there want to take a crack at this question? Thanks in advance

The dry wall behind the tiled shower wall got wet. This made the tiles loose and fall out. I can't do it right financially by replacing the dry wall and tile. What can I do to cover the exposed dry wall that will allow use of the shower. If I used heavy plastic is there a tape that would work?
