Thanks! I picked that color! My wife wanted grayige which I was tired of seeing and hearing about. The color is Evergreen fog by sherwin Williams. I think it was the color of the year last year.

Nothing, which is why the machine won't function, we need something to stop it from coming off the shaft as it needs to rotate the shaft for the gear behind it to spin

That's just a thin piece of veneer over particle board. All you can really do is paint over it. Its not gonna look like wood unless you do some kinda faux finish. Also depending on what the veneer is finished with it might be hard to get paint to stick unless you get the right kind. Sanding it and restaining it isn't an option since it's not evan 1/16" thick. Bleach isn't gonna do anything at all.

I would just clean it real good and and easiest would be to spray it with whatever paint color you want.

Yes that’s acceptable. Yes drywall shims can correct it. No, don’t redo it. If you had one or two bad studs then you could swap them out for better ones.

This door has a hidden closer inside the top portion of the door. OP does not need a new closer.

Beautiful work!

There is no screw or something missing.

Which is what OP said in their post.

You have a Larson Storm Door with Hidden closer: https://www.larsondoors.com/hidden-closer

Here is how to adjust its mechanism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=relmbyVBQOI

Get a ladder, a flathead screw driver, and spend 5 minutes fixing the door.

Ignore everyone telling you that the movers removed an external pneumatic piston assembly, removed a pin, or in any way stole or broke your door. It likely just got knocked out of calibration by getting held open too far.

Completely agree. The number of "JB Weld" answers is saddening.

The answer is always something much better than an epoxy glue, or tape that leaves residue.

If the the pin has snapped, it won't be aligned with the snapped piece, which is why you cannot remove the pin. What is stopping the gear from sliding off the shaft now that the pin/key is broken?

Assuming it hasn't been touched in a number of years, it doesn't look all that bad.

In theory you'd pull it all and redo the base to the proper level and relay the brick. But this is an old walk, and that's a lot of work. Its rarely used and most of the settling has probably already happened. If you are ok with a 7-10 year job, then I'd top up the low spots and relay the brick. I redid a paver patio this way, it held up plenty well until we moved like 7-8years later (we were on really well draining soil - which likely played a part of it.)

I frame for a living and this is perfectly except-able and probably better then what i would of done. Pat yourself on the back and get to electric, insulation, plumbing if needed and drywall.

I understand these words just not in the order they're used.

There's no half measure that will get this where you want it long term.

Either completely relay it with a proper base, or just live with it.

It doesn't look bad at all.

Oh absolutely and if you don't do it right it looks way worse.

Bleach would just harm the wood and you'd get no color change.

You can repaint with a faux wood grain look. There are tutorials on YouTube on different ways to do it, from using wood grain rocker/roller/comb tools, to simply using different paint colors layered with directional brush strokes. It isn't that hard, but you'd need a little patience, space, and dry time. If that seems like a lot, you could always cover with a lighter toned wood-patterned adhesive laminate (contact paper/shelf liner).

OP doesn't appear to want to run any new wire. Switching after the GFCI would require new wire. Swapping in a breaker solves this problem. However not being an electrician I don't know if swapping in a GFCI breaker could cause any other issues.

Given that OP is asking such a question I definitely wouldn't recommend they swap a breaker. They should 100% contact an electrician.

Edit: Just realized what you were getting at. Assuming OP could find an outlet that comes before the switch/outlet combo he could 100% swap that with a GFCI outlet. Again given the way this question is being asked with no additional information OP should call an electrician.

I grew up in the south in a house that had a huge 3 story vaulted ceiling. Can confirm that it was a nightmare to air condition in the summer.

@!#?@!

Duplo Colattor 4000

is this a duplo cutter?

Well yes, at the breaker panel. They serve different purposes until then though.

I like to use bondo to fill in damaged wood and then just sand it very good and I've had great luck with it. I just recently fixed a hole in a hollow core door from the stopper. It turned out great.
