Electrician to help you, put it back together for you

It’s not stuck together. You have no metal at all and that’s why it was glued in place.

Technically you have a reducer moulding but the person who installed it did not do it correctly.

The metal u channel acts like a clamp to hold onto the center wood channel on the bottom of the transition strip/threshold/reducer moulding.

Moving forward, I wouldn’t worry about buying a new moulding. If you did install the U channel you would probably need to cut the floor to have the proper gap. I recommend just cleaning off the glue and then gluing it back in on just the taller floor side. While not perfect, it is good enough and will be better than you had before.

this happened to me a few months back. a screw had come loose from the pendant light above and fallen into the garbage disposal causing it to jam.

Do get it fixed, as that moisture builds up and grows mold, and attracts small insects, which attract other insects, which attract mice, etc. The water is the first step in a thriving attic ecosystem....

As far as temporary fixes, you could extend the flexible hose to an eaves vent or to a gable vent and somehow secure the end of the flex pipe up against that vent for now. Then have a proper vent installed when you can, but don't wait too long...

I used a 4-inch "starting collar" (search your favorite hardware store for that part) to hold a piece of flex duct up against a gable vent until I could get a roofer out to install proper vents. It did the job... Bend the tabs to the side and screw it into place, then tape, zip-tie your flex duct to the starting collar. I wouldn't leave it like that for years, but will definitely get you through the rest of the winter.

I dunno... I haven't had am issue. it's "softer" than porcelain... I guess stainless might flex easy? Honestly I've never thought about this as a consideration. Never been much of a glass breaker, I guess.

Okay so there is the metal u channel and the threshold is 2 separate pieces that are now stuck together.

Is there a way to buy a new threshold that has the same color as my current floor or should I just try to stick the glued together threshold into the uchannel?

I didn't say the post wasn't working. I merely tried to make conversation, and you decided to play victim and lash out.

This is how I did it when I installed kitchens. It can be tough to hold the crown steady again the fence so you can get an attachment for the saw called a crown stop that holds the top edge(which would be against the base of the saw-upside down) steadily to keep the cuts consistent

Sounds like the bearings gave out and locked up.

I'm sorry you feel like you were shamed. It was merely a suggestion. What I find surprising though is that instead of taking a minute to Google "starlight headliner" and gain some insight on the topic, you went out of your way to comment "the post isn't working" as if you deserve to be spoonfed everything. On top of that you've been using reddit since 2012 so why blatantly play stupid?

They glued the transition strip to both sides of the floor which contributed to the failure. They also didn’t install the metal U channel to the subfloor in the gap between the floors of the two rooms for the floors to float freely.

The caulk is probably a white acrylic latex but you don’t want that. It acts like a glue a prevents the floor from floating.

Here’s a link to a product that best shows the metal U channel you’re missing.

After looking and reading I have one question: Why? If it's just that it's dirty and has seams and screws... It's a garage, not your living room. Paint it if you want, but beyond that you'd be spending a LOT of money and time... for what real purpose? So you can say "Look at my beautiful garage?" My suggestion: Put the time and money into living quarters.

We need a picture with the handle removed. The cartridge can be a ball or a cylinder. It's usually plastic with at least four holes and there should be a handle stem attached.

Get a bunch of similar paint chips from a paint store. Tape them to the wall with a space between each. Look for the chip that seems to vanish. Then look at the sheen. Eggshell is slightly glossy, flat has no gloss, and gloss reflects a lot of light. Most interior walls are done with eggshell. Then get a sample size of your chosen color. All told you can go this for around $10.

Good suggestion, I'll check the breaker too. Thanks!

Lost a leg?

Some of those sinks have backsplashes built in.

Downside being that glass and crockery break quite easily in a sink like that.

Not trying to talk your sink down, just giving the other perspective. Any material has pros and cons.

you know evry once in a whle my fngrs dn't type rite.

esp before coffee. which tht ws

It could be an abandoned toilet or it could be a poorly placed clean out. Something I learned as a long time DIYer is there is a time to consult with a pro. I would have a plumber look at it before making a decision.

No need on the exterior, as PL is an adhesive, and not a caulking. It wouldn’t hurt, but it won’t help much all that much. Plus it’s kinda ugly.

You could also use a regular drill. It's just not as effective.

All depends. Do you know if you have a clean-out elsewhere? Generally they're very close to where the main drain leaves the house, not the middle of a floor. Is there a smaller drain nearby? If so you've got an abandoned toilet & shower. If you have no idea, I'd err on the side of caution and leave some access to this. I've seen cleanouts go straight down, Tee, Y, or take an immediate 45º. Check your utility room for a big drain with a Y shaped pipe with a threaded cap on it. Honestly I doubt they'd put the only cleanout in the middle of a floor.
