hj: it's a true "built-in" stove with a dress flange that sits on top of the granite countertop. On installation, we'll "slide" it in after connecting the flex supply (hopefully without munching up...

Fwiw, I had a similar situation in my bathroom, where the tile I installed 10 years ago ended up flush with the new finished floor. I tried the thicker wax rings and double wax rings, but every...

Well, after all the careful planning, I feel really foolish about not having run a branch off either of my 2 GFI countertop circuits, which would have been simple before the walls were up!

Jim-...

All good stuff.
My cabinets just arrived, so I have the luxury of actually looking at and measuring clearances rather than going by catalogue numbers. The cabinet immediately to the right of the...

Thanks Dave. And for the reminder about the GFI.

Thanks guys. Rigid pipe up and over, then flex.

I'd like to put a utility outlet on the end of a peninsula. The cabinet is a slide out trash container and there's enough clearance inside for a shallow outlet box, so no problem there. What i'm...

Can the gas shutoff for a stove be located below the floor, in the basement? There is easy access there.

I ask the question because the alternative is to come up through an adjacent base cabinet...

Thanks for the quick reply Terry. I got the torch running...

My supply stubs come up through the floor. Would you put the T below the floor to make a separate stub off the hot supply or T off...

OK, getting ready to put supply stubs to sink. Shutoffs will go in the sinkbase.

Question on the DW supply: can I simply "T" off the hot supply line inside the sinkbase (below the sink shutoff),...

If you have easy access from below (basement in my case) can the hot and cold shutoffs for a kitchen sink be located there instead of inside the sinkbase? Also, does the dishwasher have to have a...

Went ahead and ran both wires. Easy enough to do.

Thanks guys,

Jay

LL: I suppose if I was on Gilligan's Island, me and the professor could probably rig up the 3-way the way you suggest (probably with a couple coconut shells thrown in for good measure). But Lutron...

Do a disposal and DW HAVE to be on separate circuits? I have 2 circuits allocated for them, but one has plenty of capacity to run both. Can I simplify and run both off the one?

Also, Can the...

Right hj. This whole issue caught me a bit off guard. A few weeks back I confirmed there were products available called "3-way dimmers", then proceeded to do the electrical rough in, running the...

Well, the cutout of the old 2" galvanized stuff and replacement with PVC went well.

Question regarding supply shutoffs:

If you have easy access from below (basement in my case) can the hot and...

That's a good recommendation, so I'll hold off til the end before putting the adaptor on.

Thanks again,

Jay

Coincidentally, I just put a double wide garage door in. Won't know how it works out until I get my new kitchen cabinets and appliances out of there......

OK, tomorrow i'll be cutting out the old santee. Kremo- just wanted to make sure i understand what you said about waiting to install the trap adaptor til later. First of all, the trap adapter is...

I think the restriction about one end being in the off position to dim from either end would be a nuisance, but just for grins, do you have a make/model for the type you describe?

Didn't purchase an extended warranty (never have, never will). The unit I bought was ADVERTISED as a 12 year unit, i.e. the box was labeled as such. At any rate, I only buy the 6-year units now.

I've had natural gas water heaters in both houses i've owned and the rental property I've owned for 34 years. Average life? 6 years. Mine are in the basement, so no real danger in just wait'n for...

Thanks Jim. Thought I picked up the wrong cement or something...

Well, did the right thing and sawed out the old galvanized fitting in the bathroom and replaced everything below with 1-1/2" plastic, tied it all together with rubber couplings on each end. Came out...

So, sounds like 3-way dimming works a little differently than I first thought. Initially I assumed both ends of the 3-way were identical parts in the same way that non-dimming 3-ways are: buy 2 of...
