Just unbolt the roller which jumped the track and slip it back in proper position then re-bolt it to the door.
It sounds as if you may have incorrect hardware. The hangars/rollers for the front and rear of by-pass doors have differing amounts of offset. If is this is the case, you should return them for correct replacements. However, I don’t suppose you have just hung the doors in a reversed position, have you?
You will not find shorter doors. You just need to trim the bottom of the door to fit your opening. I have on occasion trimmed hollow-core doors to the extent that I got into the hollow area. When that occurs, I just fabricate and glue in a small filler piece from some scrap lumber. It works as good as ever.
Sure,just the usual prep as you would do for painting masonry – hose off dirt and remove mildew, if any.
Several years ago lightning struck our power line and damaged several items in the house. A TV, cordless phone and AC compressor were ruined. This is not a DIY project. Call your HVAC professional.
Prep like you would for repainting, i.e. clean with grease remover then lightly sand before spreading tile mastic.
I don’t think that your brad nailer would present a problem with the crown you are installing. You may have to tweak the air pressure to set the nails properly. By the way, what is Barker board? I am not familiar with that term.
Thomasb – Washer disasembly varies from model to model, brand to brand. Generally, all one does is remove the back panel and snap off the top section.
Goodman takes a lot of hits by the HVAC pros on this web site: http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=53284
There is no easy to remove old paint – just scrape, scrape scrape. You are asking about mold – do you actually mean thick mold, or just mildew discoloration on the paint? If the latter is the case, I have a formula for mildew removal.
2 tablespoons dish detergent – Dawn, etc
2/3 cup Trisodium Phosphate (TSP)
1 quart bleach
3 quarts water
Mix solution in a pump up garden sprayer and apply to the offending area. Let it sit for a few minutes then hose off with clean water. When thoroughly dry, prep and paint.Assuming the rest of the house is insulated, I would not leave the former window opening without insulation. That ought to be a very simple task. Just stuff or staple fibreglas batt insulation between the studs.
