Any suggestions? Can I get some weather stripping and nailed it along the bottom to cover up the sanded off area? Or does that not going to work?
Remove the rust and put a primer on it, then put a U channel sweep on the bottom that covers it.

Good idea. You may need to adjust the limits after.

I’ve got a kit BNIB somewhere that I bought years ago that you’re welcome to have. think it is resin based. Don’t remember the coverage amount, but the price is likely right.

Wouldn't a u-channel capture water and hold it against the door, since it contacts the ground and blocks the drain holes?

I would just sand the door to bare metal, then put a clearcoat overtop. You don't have to worry about paint blending then, but you would see the metal, but at least it would be no bigger than what the current rust looks like.

All these work arounds... What’s easiest is to remove the rust and paint the damn door.

If you are not painting a mural on your door you are doing it wrong

I have some pretty encrusted adhesives on some drywall. Am I better off peeling off some of the paper off and priming, mudding than trying to scrape it off?

I just spent an hour building a new 2000$ bed frame and as soon as I went to move it the 1/4" screws ripped out of the garbage melamine sides (from factory).

Beyond pissed at how ####ty box store furniture is. Especially when it's sold as "real wood".

####.

Is there such a thing as a natural gas valve that splits but only allows one or the other thing to be on? I'm not sure my natural gas line has the capacity to supply a BBQ and a gas smoker at the same time, I will get someone to come take a look, but if it isn't is there a splitter where if you turn one on the other goes off?

^ You'd just install a tee to split it and either have individual valves for each or have 1 valve pre-splitter and only use 1 device at a time. A splitter with a diverter valve and individual connections is probably going to be very niche in this this space ($$, if it exists at all)

You're describing what's called a three-way valve. Such a thing does exist, but I don't know of anyone who makes one certified for use with natural gas. Even if you could find one it would be much, much less expensive to simply have two two-way shutoffs instead.

That said, what you're trying to do may not be kosher with the gas code. You really should get the pipe size evaluated; it may be just fine.

Yeah back when I finished my basement and put in a small vertical gas fireplace I had to get the line updated, I'll find out.

Is there quick connect couplers for natural gas? That might be another way.

Looking to have someone do this instead of completing it myself.

What's the going rate for 45 sg feet of tile / stone work these days.

Anyone got recommended installer ?

Thanks.

Thoughts on the best way to remove and preserve the stones and hearth in case there is interest to re-use ?

Why not repaint the entire thing? I did my garage door last year before we sold (for the same reason).


A wire brush along the rusty part, some paint, a roller and a paintbrush, and it looked brand new like 3 hours later.

I just run quick connects for my BBQ and my gas fireplace. Suck's you can't have them both on but like you said, unsure if it could supply both anyway.

Amazing. I apparently don't venture into that sub-forum.
