Finish nailers can also enhance any woodworking shop since they're ideal for building cabinets and furniture. Roofing Nailers and Staplers: These tools drive the round -head nails or wide -crown staples required for roofing and reroofing applications. They securely fasten asphalt and fiberglass shingles, as well as insulative sheathing. Completing the system The muscle behind air - powered fasteners is, of course, the compressor - an accessory most DlYers have invested in to power paint sprayers, sanders and other tools. Most experts recommend oil - less, electric compressors for DlYers since they typically have access to an electric outlet and they're easier to maintain. As for size, one horsepower is ample to power most pneumatic tools including large framing nailers. In addition to the tool and compressor, DlYers need a few accessories to complete their pneumatic systems. These include an air hose, connectors to Zink the hose to'the compressor and the tool, and some lubricants and cleaners. It's time to let in some of that fresh spring air 1t may have seemed like winter's cold wind, rain and snow would last forever, but it's finally time to prepare for spring and summer. Remember, getting a head start on the little jobs now can prevent big work later on. For instance, now may be a good time to repair or replace window and door screens. Screens not only are a home's first line of defense against flying insects, they also are important in natural ventilation — helping keep down air conditioning bills — and with proper upkeep, they can make a home more attractive. Following are some tips to help keep your repair or . replacement of window screens simple. --=Replacing screens There are two popular types of screening: aluminum and fiberglass. Both are corrosion resistant — unlike old galvanized steel screens — and inexpensive. And even if you are all thumbs around the house, it's easy to replace old, worn-out screens, or make new ones, using common household tools and some inexpensive materials. All you need to put new aluminum or fiberglass screens on existing frames is a new piece of screening, a screwdriver, utility knife or tin snips, concave hand roller tool and vinyl -coated replacement spline. Spline is the rubbery strip that anchors screening to the frame; the hand roller is a special tool used to install spline. Easy installation After gathering the materials, your first step in replacing screening in an aluminum frame for a single or double -hung window is removal of the old screening. Lay the screen on a flat surface, with the spline channel up, and use a screwdriver to start pulling out the spline. Next; place the new screening on the frame with a one -inch overlap around the sides. Then, starting at any corner of the frame, use the concave hand roller to secure the screening and spline in the channel, making sure the screening is taut completely around the frame. To finish, just trim off the excess screening and the repaired screen is ready to install. If you are working with wood frames, you will need a workbench, wood blocks and two C -clamps to make sure the screening is taut. Start by removing the molding over the spline channel, if one is present. This should be done carefully, with a wide chisel or putty knife. Next, detach the old screening as you would with an aluminum frame and cut a new piece slightly larger than the area to be covered. See DON'T, Pogo 17
