Pocket door

Hi All, the thread on the front glide on my pocket door appears to be stripped as I can not thread it up to square the door up,can this be repaired without removing any casing?

Window Installation Cost

T

Tumble on Nov 03, 2017

Was planning on replacing all my windows next year with new construction type (w/flange). House has stucco. Was going to do all the breakout and install and let someone I know who does good stucco work do that part of the job. I have installed windows prior in new construction so no issues there regarding flashing. I know I run risks for warranty by self install. Working up the budget, just received estimate for the 20 or so windows drop shipped from large west coast company. Price was better than anticipated. So the question, is there a rough guide to how much more installation runs over the cost of windows? 50%...200%. I know there are variables and such, I just made it a point to the company that I was going to install and before I go back and say....how much for you to do it I am curious about a ballpark. If the rough guide Is too high, I won't even ask them. ThanksRead More

Problem with designing solution of pivot door for dog.

lukusm on Nov 04, 2017

Hi everybody, I'm newbie user to this forum, so If I wrote on wrong section, I apologize. I have a dog, ca. 35kg, that have his sofa inside a garage. Everyday I go there, open a garage door and feed him on a terrace. So I have an idea, to prepare for him pivot door inside garage gate. My plan is to prepare rectangle 100x50cm, and install it in half way to each of vertical edges with pivot hinge (like in hotels). This is simple. But to avoid leave those door opened I'd like to prepare mechanism to set those door opening for short time and then to close them automatically 180 or 360 degrees. I don't know how to resolve that. I thought to use some little magnets, but I don't know is this right solution. Any suggestions appreciated.
