Isn't there an easier location to place the toilet? Does it have to be in a location where the plumbing is going to be a hell of a job?

Like the previous poster noted, by the time you account...

They are energized. That is the point of why he needs them there before the drywall is up. Even if they weren't, it would still be a good idea to tape them while there is no power.

Not sure if my post was clear enough. What I meant was to connect the wiring to the outlet and switches but do NOT screw the receptacle or switch to the box. Leave it suspended in the air. The...

Yes you can. Do not screw them to the box, just leave them loose so that when the drywaller cuts the hole for it, he can maneuver the switch/oultlet through the hole. Also, I think it would be wise...

Terry,

Can you please change the font and website back to the way it used to be. It's taking me longer to navigate the site. I was so used to the old font. Thank you.

I would advise that you do some research on these new products since they can make your life a lot easier. It wouldn't hurt you to give some of them a try. It's just a matter of getting comfortable...

No problem.

The clear plastic vapor barrier gets directly stapled to the studs before the CBU. Leave it long and let it hang over the tub. Then install the CBU and cut the excess plastic with a...

The CBU can go up to the top of the tub flange as Jim suggested.

Another option, which is more work for you, but my preferred method, is to shim out the wall flush to the tub flange or a little...

How do you guys clean your caked up paintbrushes? Let's hear your ideas and methods.

Gabe

Totally agree.

Tell me about it. Sometimes it is truly unbelievable, some of the stuff that happens. I go out and play the lotto after something like that happens, because I feel like I have better chances of...

I still can't figure out how to quote only a portion of someone's post.

I suppose I should ask which part of Brooklyn you're in, none of this might be close to you... I know I asked you before, ages ago, but I don't remember.

I'm in Greenwood. That's very close to...

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where I can get them? I googled water wings, and a bunch of swim aids for kids came up.

18' sounds like a long span to me for 2x8's if they are 16" on center. I'm not for sure though. According to what you are saying I would agree. Since the header is a load bearing part of the wall,...

Tell me that I have not just stumped the plumbing world with this question.

If the neutrals and ground are joined then you could get current on the ground wires. The ground should not carry current. Do you mean that you have a three wire plus ground coming into the panel?...

Not that difficult to level it off with the rest. Just add some luan or rosin paper under the hardwood finish flooring.

I mean if more than 2/3's of the floor is bad (can't imagine that being the...

I would only replace the rotting sections. No need to replace the entire sublfloor if most of it is in good shape. I don't see the logic in that.

If the subfloor under you 2x4 exteriors walls is...

I'm also very surprised with that big renovation you did, they neglected the venting and ducts. We are talking about very inexpensive materials and very little amount of labor to do the venting,...

I agree. Solid metal ducting. Don't use sheet metal screws to attach pieces together. Just use metal foil tape. The lint will build up on the screws if you use them over time. I would definitely vent...

Hi,

I have a perfectly level tub, however when someone takes a shower, the water drips down the front wall and when it reaches the tub of the tub, instead of flowing into the tub, it travels along...

or carbon monoxide.

nice post thatguy. over 2,000 pounds of force seems like a lot. The other option would be to rent a core drilling machine and drill 12" diameter holes in the concrete and secure the post with cement...
