OK, is this page worth a dump? I seem to only notice either posts from newbies asking basic how to questions or people selling some app. Once in a while someone asks about how to deck out a truck or van. That is great. But if I see another "Help me price....?", I am done. (If you need help pricing it, you don't know how to do it, so don't do it.)

My question is this: Is there a Reddit page that established handymen (or women) can discuss real topics of interest?

These are stupid questions, but...

I set up my Google Business Page a few years ago. Like many, I entered all the data Google asked for to open an account. I sent in the photos of my truck and street address. Google did not verify my address for some reason and blocked the account. So I set up another page with the same information. The second attempt WAS then successfully verified. But then in AI's infinite wisdom they seem to have verified the first account also. So now I have two. It is not a huge issue, but maybe??

Q #1) How do I "kill" the first one. (The first one has 10 or so reviews, the second one has maybe a hundred). If I could combine them, that would be great, but I do not care about the 10 reviews. Any suggestions?

Q #2) The second question is REALLY stupid. I can not "see" my reviews except when I am in the Google control center. How do I FIND and VIEW what my customers see of my Google Business Page? Or am I confused and it just redirects them to MY website? On my computer, I see the Google Business Page control panel. I also can read the reviews and respond. But where do potential clients go to see the reviews? The reviews do not appear on MY web site. When I go search my company or services, I pop up on top in the search, which is great. So the S.E.O. is working. People call me and I know they see me, but I can NOT find the reviews my clients write anywhere when I search on anyone else's computer. I see my web site, but not the Google Reviews. Where can I look and how can I pull them into my web site so EVERYONE can see them?

3. Somehow my OLD home address is showing up as my business address. It is NOT on the Google Business Page info, but it populates some random stuff. Not sure if it is coming from Google AI or Yelp (??). (I opened a page there many years ago - Big MISTAKE newbies) But someone has pulled the address off something (Maybe old state and federal records) But if anyone has any ideas how to remove that incorrect data, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks

OK,Samsung Class Q60A QLED 4K Smart TV

I went to do a simple wall mount of a small TV. I've done hundreds. Cut her a really cheap deal as it was just around the corner and my day was wide open this AM, so why, not, right? Well it is a Samsung Class Q60A QLED 4K Smart TV. I turn it over and pull out the two smallest bolts in the plastic strip of mounting bolts. (I think they are 4MM and 6MM??). (They are of course metric) The first one I try (6MM) is too big and will not fit, the other (4MM) is too small.

Hmmm. So I go into my truck and get all of my extra TV mounting bolts. None work. I pull out my 6-24's, 6-32's, 8-24's and 8-32's. Nada.

I run to the hardware store and buy some 5MM and they don't catch either. (WTF?)

I do not think the holes are threaded. The manual states they can be wall mounted and have a "100x100 flat panel interface". What is going on? Were there threaded pegs that the customer tossed away? Is there a mounting plate?

I do not want to mount a TV, (even a little 32" tv) to the mounting brackets with panel adhesive, but I do not want to use zip-its either!

Suggestions, oh Great Gods of the Borg!

I install quite a few hand rails and railings. Not every day, but a couple of times a month, the railing bracket needs to be anchored to a concrete block or brick wall. I want an anchor that will hold well over time and is quick to install. I am looking for a better way to anchor the railing brackets so they are safe. What do you use?

Tapcon screw break off or strip out, if you use an impact.

Red Heads do not have the strength.

Drop-in anchors are for higher strength concrete, not block or brick.

Lead slugs or plastic mollies are junk.

Epoxy would be great, but at $30/tube, it is expensive if I only need to install 9 anchor points and then the tube hardens. Too much waste. But will the entire tube harden? Can you buy more tips???

Suggestions?

Over the years, I've tore off wallpaper and scrubbed off the paste and then hit it all with Kils. Never had an issue. This time, I had a customer with very heavy commercial wallpaper in a bathroom. I decided to rip out the drywall and redo the drywall. Anyway, around the ceiling and at the bottom row of tile, I left a 6" lip of the old drywall and intent to tie the new drywall into that.

Problem is, I need to get the paste off that 6" lip or burry it I am thinking it is best to coat it with Gardz and then skim over the entire joint with 2-3 coats of 20 or 45 min hot mud. It is in a bathroom so I do not want the paste to reactivate. Suggestions?

After years of faithful service, my M12 Muli-tool started smoking and died. It was ALWAYS a little too angry sounding and bothered even my ears. Not sure if it was defective, but it served it's purpose well. I run mostly M12, but do have a couple of M18 tools for when I do stuff that demands it. I will be replacing my M12, but should I consider the M18???
