How to Fix a Broken Window
It takes little more than an errant baseball or pebble from a lawnmower to break the glass in your window. It’s a common problem, but it’s also one that can be easily fixed by a homeowner with some basic tools.
The first step is to remove the broken glass pane. Before you do this, make sure to put on thick cut-proof gloves and safety glasses. Then, use a utility knife to remove the old putty and glazing. Once this is done, use a scraper or wood chisel to remove any remaining glazier’s points or nails.
Next, measure the height and width of the frame and purchase a piece of new glass at a home improvement store. Be sure to order the glass to be slightly smaller than the opening of the frame to make it easier to install. Also, consider getting a clear super glue such as Loctite Glass Glue or Gorilla Glue to repair the crack. This is a stronger repair and is more resistant to moisture and sunlight.
How to Install a Ceiling Fan
If you’re replacing an existing ceiling fan or installing one for the first time, start by shutting off power at your home’s electrical panel to the room where you’ll be working. Consult your fan’s instruction manual for specific guidelines on how to wire it correctly.
Once you’ve cleared a work space and have the necessary tools, disconnect any light bulbs or a light kit from an existing ceiling fan, then unscrew the base of the fan motor. Carefully remove it from the ceiling without dropping it. There should be several wires underneath, so it’s important to have an extra set of hands or even a ladder.
Once you’ve removed the existing wires from the junction box, attach a cable clamp to the bottom of your fan’s mounting bracket. Then, thread the white neutral wire from your home’s wiring to the corresponding wire in the fan motor and connect it with a screw. Match the black hot wire from your home to the corresponding wire on the fan and tighten it with a screw.
How to Install a Shelving Unit
Actress Courtney Peldon has appeared in several TV shows, including Home Improvement and Boston Public, and in movies such as Angel Heart, Out on a Limb and Skin. She is best known for her three-season role as Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ on-screen girlfriend on Home Improvement, and her recurring roles in Boston Public, That ’70s Show and Entourage.
To install a shelving unit, first use a stud finder to locate wall studs, the vertical framing members to which drywall is attached. Shelving standards are anchored with screws driven into studs. The best place to screw a shelf standard is into the center of a stud, rather than at either end.
When you have found the location of a stud, mark its position on the wall with a pencil and a carpenter’s level to establish a guideline for mounting the shelves. Also mark the position of keyhole slots on the hanger brackets. These holes will be used to install anchors and support screws.
How to Install a Garage Door
Getting your garage door installed correctly is essential to having a functional and safe system. Before you begin, make sure that all components are functioning properly by visually inspecting springs, cables, pulleys and hinges for any signs of wear or damage. Also, adjust force settings and limit switches as necessary.
Start by placing the first garage door section on the work surface exterior-side down. Locate the metal brackets near the bottom (near the weather stripping) on both sides of the bottom edge and attach them with the provided screws. Place the next door panel on top, connecting it to the previous panel using hinges. Repeat the process with remaining panels, ensuring that each panel has a groove that sits on the ridge of the previous panel.
