    Tile mortar removal

    I have a tile next to my shower that I had to remove. Under the tile is about 1/4" of mortar that is going to be a pain to remove, do I need to remove all the morter down to the subfloor? Can I just remove 1/8" of the mortar and use a little bit of thinset to reinstall the tile? Is there any...

    I need to have some locks rekeyed in my house, and I was thinking about going with Medeco high security locks. Does anyone know how much it costs to get a lock keyed?

    Water Problem

    Well I was thinking due to the fact that the flashing will be covered up, the duck tape can go over the caulking, so when I set the siding back in place it won't cause any damage to the caulking, just in case. The duck tape is not ment to keep out the water. Is there anything else I could use. I...

    Water Problem

    It look like the water was running off the top of the garage door and getting behind the trim around the garage door.

    Water Problem

    How far behind the siding should the flashing extend up? I think the problem here is that there is no where for the water to go, above the door the siding gos up 3 floors, so you get all that water running down.
