What does it look like? I'd not take any answer here seriously if they haven't visually seen the problemo.

Reply to Is there a cheap way of making a 1” drill hole bigger (2”) in a granite wheel without taking it to a drill guy? by Wokebro369
Clamp another piece of granite or wood to the piece with the hole and start the new hole in the new scrap piece. Follow it all the way through the piece with the existing hole. Granite isn’t my thing but I’ve done this with hole saws plenty of times.

As far as I know, there isn't different colored spackle. But there are different colors of Colgate.

Because most people don't have that on hand while they are in the middle of packing up their lives and moving out. It's also a dumb thing for a landlord to ask for in the first place. I've moved plenty of times into new houses, and never one time has it ever even crossed my mind to cover up nail holes from the previous owner, because you usually just put another picture over top of them anyway. Wall anchors are a different story, but making a big deal about nails and pinholes is just ridiculous.

Cause if it's good enough for you teeth, it's good enough for not paint

The ones I linked are actually advertised for drywall. If there’s space behind your concrete I’d think they would be fine.

Can't you get a smaller bar to fit the holes?
Otherwise, I would drill a 2" hole in a piece of wood and then clamp that in place as securely as possible over the work piece. The hole in the wood will be the guide for the hole saw.
You might need to check out an equipment rental place to get an adequate hole saw. If you can do the job in a few hours, you may be able to just rent a saw for half a day. My local place will rent to you for a half day if you get it back quick enough.

Why do you think spackle needs priming and painting but toothpast wouldn't somehow? lol.
You also don't have to sand spackle unless you shoveled it on.

Thanks for the tip :)

Cool trick I learned is to take saw dust from the vinyl.floot , fill the hole with it , and heat it if need be.

Wood color sticks. You can find them in the same aisle as the wood stains at your local hardware, Home Depot or Lowes

Reply to I’m building a border around a playground with landscape timbers, and wanting to secure it with something other than rebar. by _aPOSTERIORI
Dig out a bed about 2” wider than the timber and fill this with level compacted sand. Place the timbers in the sand so that they do not move. Rebar doesn’t creep out or stick out when done correctly so that’s not a problem but preferences are king and you want what you want. So the sand will keep them generally in place and you may have to move them back into place if they are forced out of place by fought play or intentional movement. They are safe and should remain in place even with children walking on them or jumping on them. I have seen timbers linked together with eye hooks to keep them in line AND in sand and that makes it more difficult for one to get kicked out of place and it’s not unsightly. I have made angle iron fasteners for the bottom of timbers in jobs I have done and pointed the 30cm iron to sink into the ground. I powder coated it for appearances AND rust prevention (since they were underneath and never seen). These prevent the possible creep of a bar pounded down through the timber into the ground…though I have done this MOST and have never had one creep out. Either way I would powder coat or at least smear with tar to keep the rust from eating it away over the years. A job done well is a job done once.
