Reply to comment by 2footitis in Had a plumbing issue upstairs, now i need to replace a ceiling drywall cutout used to access the plumbing from below. My progress is below, and im now nervous about the consequences of adding the joint compound without an actual joist or wood anchor behind it. Is this patch temporary or should i be by jrab3717
So i actually need to replace the entire sheet, so i can anchor the entire edge?

Thanks, checked and no luck. Pulled the trap seal tube out of the overflow tube just to be safe. No water is leaking from the tube and yet water continues to slowly flow out of the two of the jets in the bowl. It’s maddening!!

You definitely need wood blocking behind those long edges.

Cut sections of drywall ~3” wide and glue/screw around the hole so that 1/2 of the pieces extend into the hole to support the patch. Then attach the patch, so it’s supported all the way around as well as to the joist. Then finish it out.

Reply to comment by FireWireBestWire in installing a 4in round vent into an exterior door by jpence1983
Well I used to do a fair amount with fdm. Recently got a resin. I need to rearrange my work area so I haven't done anything yet. Probably on weekends mostly
The issue is I'm in a garage. I don't want to have the door open all the time and in the winter I feel like it will mess up my prints

That makes sense. I was hoping to not have to replace it, but I might have to. Thank you!

Completely agree.
Here’s one of my dogs as proof.

Mine did that too, they deliberately don’t sell replacement parts due to liability is what I was told when I contacted them. Additionally, all hinges were riveted instead of bolted for this very reason…being too hard to replace. Mine was made out of pot metal that failed, the new designs were steel. Unfortunately, I had to replace the whole thing. Good luck…

You can absolutely add a photo. Dozens of users do it every day.

Use caulk. And a caulking tool can get you a nice straight line.
Be sure to use a paintable caulk.
And be extra careful to NOT get clear (the label for clear and the label for white look a little too much alike)

Change the toilet fill valve. Water is getting by and traveling through the trap seal tube that is inserted into the flush valve overflow.

Might just be residual water slowly draining down.

Nonissue there, water level is about a half inch below lip of overflow pipe.

Last night I actually pulled the hose out of my he stand pipe to make sure that wasn’t the issue. Water still dribbles from the jets unfortunately

I assume you're talking about the gap between the base molding and tile.
Usually when base trim is held tight to floor when its installed.
At this point the correct way to finish this would be to add Shoe Molding.

I had a similar issue with our top button flush toilet until a couple days ago. I finally put a few tablespoons of citric acid into the toilet tank and left it to sit overnight in hopes off cleaning all the grime, etc. inside. When I flushed it in the morning and looked into the tank, it and all the moving parts inside were spotless. The leaking/dripping sounds completely disappeared. I mixed a little more citric acid into a spray bottle with water and sprayed it onto everything above the water line in the tank and the whole tank and all the parts look brand new. What a difference it made.

It won’t let me add a photo, but the ones I’ve seen online aren’t it. Do you know any names I could try and search for?

Nope, 2011. Neutral isn't required if there is conduit or the box knockouts are accessible. Basically, if it's easy to add a neutral later it isn't required.
