*General Repair*

Door and windows - Dorglass,Inc - They have door and window parts for just about
every manufacturer. Menards, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and Home Depot have some of the
parts but not as many as Dorglass. Things like window cranks, weather stripping, screen
door and window parts. Otherise you get on the internet and find the manufacturer that
you have and do some research.

Plumbing Parts- First try the big home improvement stores then if you don't have any
luck, try
Park Supply (Mpls). 2727 East 26th St. Minneapolis, MN 55406 Phone:
612.822.3180. They have just about everything you need for plumbing parts and repairs.

Brin Northwestern Glass Co. (612-529-9671) - You can have this company make
you replacements for your broken seal or damaged thermopane windows. If you bring
in the sash, they will install the glass for you. If you order just the glass, you have to
take the old one out and install the new one yourself. Great prices! ...and even more
inexpensive if you do it all yourself.

United Products - Building material company. Siding, fascia, door, windows, shingles,
decking, skylights, and fencing. Many locations. Very competitive pricing.



*Caulk Sealants, Primers, and Paint*



BASF/ SONNEBORN SL1 - Concrete Crack and Seam Repair - SL1 is a one-component,
non-priming, self-leveling elastomeric polyurethane designed for expansion joints in
concrete floors and decks. Use it where flexibility, as well as abrasion and puncture
resistance is required. Available at Allied Building Products and Brock/White

Vulkem or PL Sealant - Polyurethane, self-leveling. Used by many professionals to seal
seams and cracks in concrete. Follow the directions. Use foam cords to stuff in large or
deep cracks so you don't have to use so much sealant. Available at Home Depot, Lowes,
or Menards.

Lexel Sealant/Caulk - Stays clear as glass and lets the color of the surfaces caulked
show through until painted.
Mold and mildew resistant when cured. Use where paintable
surfaces meet non-paintable (ie. Tile to wall, sink to counter, counter to wall) or to let
the caulked surface show through. Available at Ace Hardware stores.

Cabot Deck Stain - One of the best stains you can use on your deck and outdoor
wooden structures. Available at Lowes and Fleetfarm.

Cover Stain (a Zinzer product) - An oil based primer that blocks stains, is sandable (to
smooth rough walls), gives extra moisture protection (bathrooms, kitchens, exterior),
interior/exterior, and dries in an hour. Available at most big box stores.

Zar Wood Stains - The best and easiest to use. Available at most professional paint
stores.

DC333 - Fire retardant primer. Fire and mold protection in one application. Use where
extra fire protection is desired. Follow manufacturers directions for application and use.
They also make a fire resistant spray for fabric. Available at Menards

Perma Coat - This might be a great option to just painting. Lasts forever I am told and
is maintenance free with a warranty that transfers to the next owner.

Goodbye Cracks - Elastomeric spray which you spray over crack repairs before you
paint and this product will flex and bend instead of crack. Follow directions!


*Cleaners, Maintenance Products*

The Works - Cleans, removes rust, mildew, calcium, lime, and soap scum. Use before
sealing tile grout or any time you clean bathtub or shower. Available at Cub, Walmart,
and Rainbow

Super Clean - Great cleaner, degreaser. Comes in spray bottle or gallon jug.
Inexpensive. Available at Walmart, and many automotive stores.

MOLD ARMOR - Mold and Mildew Remover - Use to clean bathrooms, kitchens, etc where
what appears to be mold or mildew is present. They also make a
Mold Blocker - Use this
after cleaning to prevent the return of mold and mildew stains.
Available at Menards

Mary Ellen's "I Hate Mildew!" - Wonderful for shower curtains, canvas and any white
or colored fabrics that can be washed with chlorine bleach. These include cotton, cotton
blends, nylon, rayon, Dacron, orlon and linen. A yacht owner used this product to save
thousands of dollars of mildewed canvas. It came out looking like new. This is a
protective sealant to help
prevent mildew and mold growth for up to two years. Was
available at CUB but I don't know the current retail availability.

Draino Gel (Yellow Bottle) - This drain cleaner is great for slow or clogged drains. It
dissolves soap scum and hair. Follow directions. Available everywhere.

Perma Wash - Disinfectant, Fungicide, Virucide, Bactericide, Mildewcide, and
Mildewstat. EPA REGISTERED for mold & mildew control in Hospitals, Institutions and
Homes. Available at Menards

floors.

with the hose sprayer. Let dry then pour it out on a hot day put a board over it and tamp
down with a hammer or your feet. Available at Menards (about $5)

Gutter parts and extentions - Comes in 10 ft. sections. Plastic or aluminum. Available
at Menards, Home Depot, Lowes,
Cashwise, and some hardware stores.

Parging and masonry wall repair - "QuikWall" is a prooduct made by Quikcrete. I have
been told the product is great for masonry wall and parging repair. Check with your local
supplier such as Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and most home building material suppliers.

Glass Block Window Fans - These fans are made for glass block windows. If you need
ventilation in a basement or bathroom with glass block windows this is one option. I don't
think they are available locally but they do sent them out.

United Products - Building material company. Siding, fascia, door, windows, shingles,
decking, skylights, and fencing. Many locations. Very competitive pricing.

Brin Northwestern Glass Co. (612-529-9671) - You can have this company make you
