every1 knows how to use pop rivets. Solid shank rivets r hard.

you should post more videos about tools and how they work !

Hilty makes a type of plastic toggle bolt that will be perfect for you. I don't exactly know what it's called but check their web site out. It's about 6 to8 inches long and you make a 3/8" hole, insert, pull the tabs, and your done. It accepts #8&10 screws. Perfect! If your wall is solid, they will take the weight.

go to auto parts store get a quart of fiberglass reinforced auto body filler it comes with hardener you can ad a little of that and be good to go

thanks alot man

Yes they do have workshops. Whether its what your looking for in particular or not I don't know. You can check their sites for upcoming workshops. Try sites like DIY or HGTV. You can also check your local library for books on the subject.

Sounds like one dangerous roof to walk on! Don't do it! Call a roofing company. They're all capable of full repair. You'll want it stripped so that all rot is exposed and then replaced……. and the new roof lays well. When it comes to shingles, there are different weights that last varying numbers of years……….get the heavy weights! Otherwise, you'll be reroofing in 16 years. Labor is the same for light or heavy.

Die cast cars arent really riveted – the top has a pin molded to it and the base has a hole and the pin sticks through the base and they peen over the pin to make it bigger. Same theory as a rivet but one side is part of the top casting.

He is not being lazy it is hard to do not as bad on an suv as it would be a van the best advice I can give you is get a vehicle specific repair manual and follow what it says.Is it worth it? that all depends on a few things such as having the right tools and knowing how to do it if and having the time. If you have the tools know how and time and you can find one cheap that just needs a head gasket get you a book and go for it you can save a bundle by doing it yourself

Unlikely that a state or local government licenses handyman services, i.e., through examination or otherwise determines a minimal level of competence. Usually the "license" is simply an occupational registration, a device for raising local govt revenues. Contact the local government office which issues occupational and business registration certificates. To determine whether the repairman is licensed as a building contractor (residential or commercial) call the local government building permit/inspection department both to determine whether the repairman's name is known there (if the person is capable of pulling a building permit), as well as to determine if the license number is of a type which is issued by state or local goverenment. For judgments (which do necessarily have anything to do with competence) search official records on the website of the local office (clerk of court) which records such records. To determine the status of a business entity (corporation, LLC, individual d/b/a under a fictituous name) search the website of the state agency which registers such entities (frequently secretary of state, corporations division).

very instructive. thanks

It doesnt cut the shank, you get to the breaking point of a groove in the shank and it snaps off making a loud noise, hence the brand name of “Pop” rivets for the loud pop it makes when it breaks. Note you should use the same metal as the metal you are joining unless they are insulated with paint or you get galvanic action from dissimilar metals – steel rivet to join aluminum then water between starts the same effect as a battery and corrodes the metals by electrical action

oh, okay

Thanks for the video. This was very helpful.

If you belong to some specific group you might find one, try grants.gov. They have all of the government grants, with complete instructions if you qualify.

In general there are no grants to improve each others investments. This is your house, you pay to have it the way you want it.

Do you recall voting to be taxed to fix up my kitchen? I do not think so.

But there are grants to modify homes for severally disabled adults in order to allow them to use their homes. If you are part of this group of people your social worker can help you obtain the grants you need.

I tried to find some direct information for you (usually a city has grants for this- not Montgomery though!). The best I can do is to refer you to the Montgomery Area Council on Aging. They don't have a home repair program but they can work with these seniors to help connect them to an agency or nonprofit who can help.

Their website is http://www.macoa.org

Thanks for the demo. This takes the place of some welding duties for light duty fastening.

The Home Repair and Remodeling Act is a law passed by the Illinois General Assembly which specifically defines requirements of contractors and rights of homeowners who contract for repairs or remodeling to homes. I am enclosing a link to it. Hope this helps.
