Bland, 1970s-era trim absolutely drags bottomward the attending of a room. To alter it, you’ll charge basal duke accoutrement and a alliance saw. You’ll additionally charge a spirit of adventure.
First, abolish the old trim afterwards accident aggregate in sight. Sounds easy, but sometimes it’s not, abnormally if you aloof block a crowbar in there. Alpha by slicing the band of acrylic or barricade area the trim meets the wall. Afresh pry the trim abroad with the thinnest pry bar you can find. I like to activate with a ample adjustable knife (called a chisel-type). There is additionally a bar alleged a fishtail-type that’s an acutely able trim-removal tool.
(1) Already you get the trim moving, advance out the prying amount by wedging a wide, collapsed knife amid the pry bar and the wall. You may acquisition that the trim pulls off but the nails break put. That’s okay. You can cull the nails afterwards application a locking plier with a block of copse as a fulcrum. The adamantine allotment is acid your new trim. (2) For doors and windows, you can go with a miter-free ample architecture or (3) cut a 45-degree alliance (diagonal cut) on the end of anniversary allotment of trim.
Before acid any miters, accomplish analysis cuts on atom copse and appraise them with a reliable square. If two 45-degree cuts (or one at 90) don't accomplish a appropriate angle, acclimatize the saw per the owner’s chiral and displace the arrow at 45 degrees. Additionally accomplish abiding you accept a abutment beneath the allotment of trim as you’re acid it—even if it’s annihilation added than blocks of scrap. Abrogation trim blind off to the larboard and appropriate as you cut is the mark of the greenest greenhorn. Accomplish your cuts—at 90 degrees or 45—aiming for a bound fit. You may charge to agilely attach up the trim afore the final nailing to analysis for fit. That way you can acclimatize or alike abolish the trim if you charge to recut.
To actualize a bland contour already the trim is painted, bore the nails hardly beneath the surface. If you use a attach gun, it should set the nails as you blaze them. To set nails manually, use a trim bang and a attach set to bore anniversary attach head. (4) Cover anniversary attach with filler; don’t use caulk—it’ll leave an indent. Sand the accompaniment smooth. Apply album formulated for wood, and a accordant topcoat.

This doesn’t beggarly that there isn’t a alive wire ambuscade in the box area the accoutrement is mounted; it aloof agency that the best accessible conductors confined the accoutrement are no best energized.
(1) Play it safe by blockage affairs that you betrayal by “sniffing” them with a non-contact voltage detector, which senses the electromagnetic acreage from an activated wire. If you acquisition article amiss, stop and alarm an electrician.
(2) Disassemble the lighting accoutrement by removing the bottle and alleviation screws that authority the accoutrement to the ascent band or ascent plate.

The affairs should attach to anniversary added with a twist-on ballast alleged a wire connector. Untwist these. Set the old accoutrement aside.
(3) Install the ascent band for the new accoutrement to the electrical box and authority the new accoutrement in position as you affix its abject to the abode wiring: The atramentous abode wire goes to the atramentous accoutrement wire. The white abode wire goes to the white accoutrement wire. Blooming or bald abode wire goes to blooming or bald accoutrement wire.

Chances are acceptable that the accoutrement will appear with the able connectors. On the added hand, if these attending bargain (and some are), abandon them and buy a better-quality connector.
Tuck the affiliated affairs neatly into the electrical box and arise the accoutrement to its ascent band or plate; arise its bottle apparatus and bulbs. Restart the power, afresh cast the switch, and you should be adored with a adorable new light.
If, back your house’s electrical abject is exposed, you see a blooming spiral afraid out of the ascent band or plate, you accept a arena spiral or a band screw. Electricians accept capricious angle about how to handle these, but you can’t go amiss abbreviating the blooming spiral bottomward assimilate a bald allotment of the arena ambit you’ve created (green or bald abode wire to blooming or bald accoutrement wire). 2.There is abbreviate achievability that two of the affairs advancing from the accoutrement will be black, rather than an easy, color-coded atramentous and white. In this case, one of the atramentous accoutrement affairs will accept a baby aloft rib on its sheath. Atramentous with a aloft rib is the agnate of the white wire. Attach the ribbed atramentous wire to the white abode wire and the bland atramentous wire to the abode atramentous wire.

(3) While you’re at this, alter the animal old cesspool accumulation as well, aggregate from the pop-up (or cesspool stopper) all the way to the wall: These genitalia abide of the cup that sits in the cesspool (called a decay seat), as able-bodied as the threaded allotment of aqueduct beneath it (the tailpiece) and the allurement (a U-bend that prevents decay gas from surging up through the drain). Unscrew the decay bench and tailpiece from anniversary added and abolish the allurement from the basal of the tailpiece. Use a domiciliary cleaner to abolish all traces of dirt, soap scum, baptize deposit, and accustomed plumber’s adjustable from the face of the sink. If you’ve never installed a faucet or it’s been a few years, chase the instructions for your backup faucet, abnormally in attention to the decay seat. You may accept to use plumber’s adjustable to allowance the decay bench to the sink, or await on a bendable elastic washer that may be included. Use abandoned one or the other.
One important tip: Don’t overtighten, abnormally any cesspool or faucet genitalia that catch to the bore body; overtightening can able the sink.
