What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

I'm using Bosch PS31-2A, It contains LED light so working with it is very easy.

You can also add concrete adhesive to the mix and apply some of it to the raw old concrete before you pour. You should be able to buy it at HD etc. Then you could seal the whole thing as Rick said.

I have found instant concrete patching cement works best if patching a 1/8 to 1" deep erosions, if deeper then do it in layers. It can be mixed with water, but mixing with concrete bonding additive makes it lay better on existing eroded surface -- read instruction carefully for your application.

Local Menard's sells both items under Akona brand. Just beware that the liquid and powder are NOT measured the same - verify. SELF LEVELING IS NOT RECOMMENDED!

Yesterday I replaced the food disposal and kitchen faucet. It only took two trips to the hardware store for parts. I plan to replace the sinks and faucets in both bathrooms. The faucets are Moen and lasted near 30 years. They are still drip free but the finish is failing. I will replace the rusting steel/porcelain sinks with ceramic.

Expect about 1/4 of that longevity with your new faucets. Like many other things, quality has gone to s**t. My original front door latch lasted about 20 years. Since then I've been replacing them about every 4 - 5 years if I'm lucky.

I got a Delta faucet for the kitchen. Thinking of Moen for the baths. Any better ideas?

Not really. I have a Grohe kitchen faucet that is holding up. But to be fair, I do have hard water being that I'm on a well and I don't have any filtering or softeners. Municipal systems might not be as bad on the internals. But my plumber swears that it's the metals degrading. You used to be able to replace the valve washers and seats but not any more. Just throw the whole thing away...
I feel a rant coming on. Time for a beer.

I couldn’t find a part for my no model number Price Pfister kitchen faucet , 20 years old

I sent a cell phone picture to their customer support email, and got a whole new spigot two days later.

I have to go with them for my stuff after that

[volvolugnut]

I have to agree. Now I have to find two 20 year old Price Pfister faucets.
