Bathroom faucet is leaking badly from the bottom of it when turned on (dripping down the stopper rod). Not coming from either of the water connections and no visible leaks above the counter.

Is this more likely to be a fix or replace?

Use a paint scraper/putty knife to get off the glue - sanding that will probably gum up the sandpaper and be very annoying (not to mention making some nasty dust). Then cover the holes with spackling. At that point you can sand, or just paint if you're not super picky.

So basically carve the foam out a bit and squeeze some mortar in there. Not a bad idea.

What is tap mounding?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a HD 5 min from me.

We have a concrete step that was molded around the sill. 4-9/16 was the only thing that fit. In hindsight we should've demo'd the step and repoured it (especially since it's pulling away slightly), but didn't consider that option.

The moulding only has a few nails but I did apply a healthy bead of sealant when I installed it. Would quarter round trim on top of the brickmould be appropriate?

Up to an inch or so in spots. The reason I didn't want to add wood strips is the moulding and door are composite and I didn't want some random woodgrain in the middle. May not be that noticeable though.

Makes sense about the yard maintenance tools. I figured the Makita would be more solid, but after one drop the leaf blower trigger only works about 30% of the time. The weed wacker has good power but the string dispenser doesn't dispense very well and has a tendency to fall off.

I ended up pulling the trigger on a 18v mid-tier Milwaukee brushless drill and a [brushed] oscillating tool.

I have a harbor freight SDS hammer drill actually, along with a chuck adapter. That thing is pretty powerful but horrendously loud so I don't use it unless I have to.

Well I only have a single battery each for the Milwaukee and Makita. The Milwaukee impact has been great but the Makita was bought as a weed wacker/leaf blower kit. Leaf blower broke after dropping it from ~2 ft and the weed wacker is pretty poorly designed so I'm not particularly enamored with Makita.

I've had pretty good luck with Ryobi but I wouldn't mind upgrading a few of the tools (namely the multi tool and circular saw, along with the needed drill).

Ignoring my current battery, Makita would be your pick then?

No carpet is because of water damage risks?

How much torque do you "need" on a cordless drill? This would be for general DIY use. My Ryobi bit the dust this weekend and will probably buy another since I have the batteries. The options are ~400-750 in/lb. I want enough power to drill larger holes and mix paint/mortar (which is what I burned out the last one doing).

Additionally, any better options than Ryobi? I already have a 12v Milwaukee and 18v Makita battery and charger and don't really want to add a 4th brand.
