Yes, the notes are correct. I have not yet installed the garage sink, but that is the line I want to use to also drain the outdoor kitchen sink. Looking at the schematic from Terry, it sounds like I have the right idea. The one difference is that I will not tie back into the existing vent...

I have a deck over my garage, and I'd like to add an outdoor kitchen to the deck. The washing machine and garage sink (not yet installed) are in the garage. (See attached picture (yes, I know, the hot and cold on the sink and washing machine are reversed).) If I use a self venting air valve...

The copper will be replaced with week. In a case of "since I'm there," I am replacing a leaking shower faucet at the same time since I have to open the drywall up behind the shower. (I and two plumbers have looked at the faucet cannot tell which brand it is. They think it's a cheap...

Thanks for the idea of using car trim tools. I have some and tried to get is off using them -- still no luck, but at least I'm not wrecking the finish as much as I was with a screw driver or putty knife. I'm prying as much as I can, but it isn't coming off. I would like to avoid breaking it...

I have a leaking shower valve that needs to be fixed, but I cannot figure out how to remove the handle. The handle has a plastic cap that I tried remove with hand pressure and a putty knife. I tried to prying up, pulling out, and sliding up, but it is not coming off, and I'm starting to damage...

I have a leaky shower valve. I’ve fixed a few leaky faucets before, so I thought this would be no different, but I cannot even get the escutcheon off to figure out what kind of valve I have. Both screws on the escutcheon have issues. I was able to back one screw out enough to spray PB Blaster...
