    Help please, who do I ask?

    Hello! I’m looking for someone to remove and replace the silicone around my front and back door and the window at my house. My question is, do I find a handyman or do I contact a window company? I’m finding it hard to figure out whom I ask. Any suggestions would be amazing! Thanks so much! Kristi

    How can I add a backbox and a blanking plate onto expanding foam?

    Hi, Keeping it short here, I had a bottomless hole which I filled in with expanding foam with no issues. However, under that foam is some wires I wish to add a backbox and cover that with a blanking plate (So, it will act as a wire junction box) but how can I insert a backbox into foam? I have had two ideas 1, cut a hole and glue the backbox into it or 2, remove the foam and start again but this time was holding the backbox in place as I foam around it. Thanks!
