Some of my 100 year old plaster ceiling just fell down and exposed the boards (about a 4x3 section). I've never done any plaster stuff before. Would this be a good way to fix it? https://www.oldhouseonline.com/repairs-and-how-to/how-to-fix-plaster-ceilings/

kid sinister posted:Yep. That's about how it goes: remove any loose plaster, find laths, drill holes, glue the plaster back down to the lath, clamp down with screws, wait for glue to dry, remove screws, plaster, paint. PainterofCrap posted:The old stuff fell because wood shrinks as it ages, making nail holes and gaps between laths bigger. Also, the plaster breaks off where it's smooshed through the gaps in the lath, everything dries out & loses its adhesion. It fell because there was a water leak from the room above. One of the laths came detached from the joist, and I'm guessing that caused it to sag down (we could see the plaster sagging and cracking for over a year before it actually fell). Can I use a screw to reattach the lath to the joist instead of a nail so it's more secure? Beef Eater fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Aug 7, 2023 |

I've got a GSS25JERFWW, GE side-by-side fridge. It abruptly stopped cooling at all yesterday. The condenser is room temperature, and the condenser fan and compressor aren't running. The evaporator fan is running, and turns off if the freezer is set to zero (expected behavior as far as I know). The lights also still work correctly. Anyone know what could be going on?

I was putting a new battery in my mower when I noticed it has four connecting wires. Two black and two red. Should I just bolt both wires to each matching terminal?

Motronic posted:How were they before? What kind of mower? I'm pretty sure they were like that before. I thought I took a picture of it but apparently I didn't. It's a Snapper about a decade old. Would have to find the model.

Motronic posted:If it's that old the cables have "memory" and want to go back to where they were before....especially if the only thing that's been done to it was to remove the old battery from a previously working mower (if that's not the case you just upped the complexity and my answer will be very differnet). It's overwhelmingly likley they were just bundled together if this is just an old gas mower and you shouldn't have to fight them to get them to do that. If something seems too hard stop and reevaluate the situation. Alright, thanks. Yeah, it's a working mower than just had the battery removed.

What do you call that wooden thing that looks kind of like a pommel horse, and you can put two of them together to lay your project across them?
