Q: I recently finished adding a deck to my house. I've noticed part of
my handrail is warping. I used treated wood, 2-by-4 and spindles for the
handrail.
Is there anything I can do to prevent or limit the warping?
A: For this question, turned to treated-wood expert Huck DeVenzio of

LOL, true, but unfortunately I need to.

If you have a Delta, the repair kits are free. Just call them and they will
send you the parts for free. They are fairly simple to repair.

Take a look at the distance between the door and the jam. If a wind can open

Have you checked to see what is holding the vanity top on. Many times they are

Hi Michael
Give it a go all that is required is to dissolve that which is blocking

First of all the process for replacing body panels isn't necessarily spot
welding.
Your job will go something like this:
1. Remove all of the damaged or rusted metal making sure to grind or cut
well back into good solid metal.
2. Either purchase or fabricate the appropriate patch panel.
3. Fit it

Spiro,
If you can't aford to screw it up, then I would be the wrong person to ask
for help. I probably spent 20% more on my deck than I needed to just in
screw-ups.

And I bring up a plank with me to lay across the trusses. You need to be
careful not to get out on one end and have it flip it but if you get your
weight across more than one and move carefully you won't do any damage. I've
done it dozens of times.

Spiro are you saying the fixture will not come apart or it will not come
off the vanity. Is that one of those single handle units with the set screw

using it. However, I would recommend wearing gloves when using any
