I have two issues I need some suggestions on.
#1-my kids are hard on all of the door pulls, locks, etc. and I have a bunch of wood screws pulling out on these things all of the time. I have tried wood glue but it is not creating enough of a bite for the screws. What should I inject into the holes when they are stripped so that I can repair these stripped screws?
#2-I have the start of a sagging floor in the galley of the main salon. It is the spot everyone wants to stand and it is starting to be an issue. The spot is about an 8' span right above the front end of the engines. There is not a place to insert a jack stud so I am thinking I may need to have a piece of metal fabricated to carry the floor. Has anyone had this issue and how have you solved it?
You can see the cabinet gap with the floor. It is about an inch out but extends to more when people stand there.
The under side of the joint.
The spot that needs to remain clear so no jack stud.
Spot where all areas collide in main salon galley area.
Gap up close...
