DIY GateHouse Hinge Pin Door Stop Installation Tutorial Demonstration [G...

DIY GateHouse Hinge Pin Door Stop Installation Tutorial Demonstration [Gatehouse Hinge Pin Doorstop]. The first step is to buy a couple of these and then pop the hinge pin on the door. I used a small screwdriver and lightly tapped it out of place. I installed these individually one by one. Once the hinge pin is removed I pushed the door stop down over the hinge pin and tapped it back into place. Once installed the hinge pin doorstop can be adjusted to your desired setting to either open further or open less. In this case I needed to keep the door knob from hitting the glass closet doors and causing a huge destructive mess so it was mandatory I put these on. Super easy installation and quick too. The door stops are cheap compared to a hole in the wall or a busted closet door. Thank you for watching and please leave me a comment or two.

DIY Wood Floor Repair Project | Cheap Quick Fix | Wood Filler Putty and ...



The wood just inside this sliding glass window has taken a beating from sunlight and moisture. It really needs to be replaced. So much so that it is starting to show signs of rot and is giving way at some of the edges. Rather than try to refinish it or replace it right now, this wood putty fix was just what was needed for a cheap and quick repair job. If I was the owner I would not have it get as far damaged as it did and would have refinished it. It's possible it's still salvageable but definitely needs to be resealed to prevent further damage. For this band-aid type of quick fix I just used some wood filler putty, both light and dark and tried to come close on a color match but was unsuccessful so I used a furniture touch up marker to bend it in so the repair didn't stick out as much.

Hotpoint Brand Oven Light Bulb Installation


DIY "How to" Hotpoint Brand Oven Light Bulb Installation Tutorial Instructional Demonstration. If you know how to do this then its very easy, but for those of us who don't, well...it can take a minute or two to figure out. If you watch this video, I will show you exactly how to replace the bulb in your Hotpoint Brand Oven. Many people just leave the light bulb in the burned out state for the life of the oven. I couldn't imagine not being able to see what's cooking or what it's looking like.
Many people, like myself are procrastinators. "Well the oven light is out" is what you may tell yourself. It's tough to get in there and get after it as it's one of those things that you can make do without. That being said, it's much nicer to have a working oven light than not. So if you can find the gumption to change out the light bulb, pop open the oven door and get after it. The first thing you want to do is take the securing wire and push or pull it off to the side. This is your first access point to getting this done. Be careful not to drop the glass that goes over it as you do. You can do this all with one hand no problem. So what you want to do is move the wire over while keeping some pressure on the glass and once the wire is pushed over, than sort of captivate and capture the glass. This will allow you to gain access to the light bulb. You will need a headlamp or flashlight for this job. Now take the existing light bulb and unscrew it. Now take your new one and screw it in.
Anyway, hope this little quick video helps you out. Good luck!
