Hello! My door has hinges of the "drilled split" kind. One of the holes is stripped, so the door is not attached to the frame properly anymore.
Here's a picture of it: https://imgur.com/a/aVquGcI
How can I best fix this? I read that filling the hole with a wooden plug and then drilling it again is a way to do it, but I fear it might not be a long-lasting fix. There are chemical anchors too, but I think that would make it hard to adjust the hinge later. Do you think a metal plug or a screw-in nut would be a good choice? It seems easier to do it this way, and the metal support should stand the test of time better.
Original question here.
Thanks to your advice I'm glad to say I'm still alive, not because I sucessfully installed this monster myself but because a qualified electrician did it for me.
6/2 AWG for wiring. Not sure why he used a 60 amp breaker when the label says 50, but hey, I'm sure he knew what he was doing...

I am trying to add a 6' x 10" shelf that somewhat matches the stain but doesn't need to be an exact duplicate since it is going to be in a different room.
The wood I purchased for the shelf is Douglas Fir. Is there a stain/finish I can use that will get me close enough to this look? I wasn't able to buy maple wood that was the right size for the shelf so I was hoping I could make this work as a stop gap solution.
If this is an absolutely pointless endeavor, is there a better wood I can buy that's available at a Lowes/Home Depot?
I'm trying to get as close as I can to a 30,000 BTU portable gas burner that I can use indoors for wok cooking. The highest output I've seen is the 15,000 BTU Iwatani 35FW, but outdoor wok set ups can go up to 50,000 BTU. I watched this video by Alex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYvxNTc-ZU8. He somehow connected a second butane cannister to the main one and now outputs 22,200 BTUs (12,000 + 10,200). Here is a screenshot of what he made. I tried googling this sort of thing, but it seems pretty niche and I didn't find anything. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks
