So I did some real close investigation on the floor near the toilet. lol

I notice on the back side corner that the tiles aren't all leveled really well with each other like my old floor.
Either...

My joists are 2x6 I believe, not 2x8, but I plan on R19 and probably an R38.
I've debated on the blow in iso, but it's something I'd have to hire out and I'm not sure the cost differance.

Thanks...

Thanks Gary.

Picked one up yesterday, although the design looks a little differant from the manuals online.
Perhaps a revision made.

Did I understand incorrectly?

I went to Home Depot as I had a credit, otherwise I go to Lowe's normally.
Both are a short distance from my home.

Bummer, the only thick rings have the inserts.

I'll give it another go. I bought two rings just in case.

Not sure what to do than.

I'll buy the double thick wax gasket this time around.

And maybe grow a backbone and tighten the bolts a wee bit more.

Just annoys me that when I put this toilet in...

So before the rotting floor was replaced in my bathroom, the toilet flange sat above the tile floor and I never had an issue that I remember.

When the new subfloor and tile was installed, the...

One other thing I should have mentioned is that the bedrooms over the garage are at the opposite end of the house.
Those vents don't get much airflow coming out of them.
I've tried messing with the...

Thanks for taking the time everyone.
Hey Dana, thanks.

The house is raised ranch ~2000 sq ft with the garage (also R7 I think) underneith two of the 3 bedrooms, so let's call it 1750 sq ft living...

When I had to replace the motor for my 40 year old Janitrol, no one could cross refference the motor anywhere.

Thanks for the info.

The old heater is original at 42 years old.
100,000 BTU in and 80,000 BTU out.
80% efficient I guess.

All contractors who have come in have estimated 61k-66k BTU at ~98% efficient.
They all...

To answer your question, according to code, I can not just have my current water heater venting through a clay liner.
Not enough heat from the exhaust of the water heater causing condensation and...

Hello all.

Currently I have an original with home 42 year old Janitrol forced hot air system.

I am looking to get central air, so it makes sense to replace all.
Looking at A/S Trane, and...

Costco and BJ's are very good about that.

While I went to HD and Lowes when I was looking for this, I also went to a place called Splash to look for a bathroom faucet.

Most of the supposed good ones were cheap and thin like tin.

First I'd like to thank you all for your input and to bear with me as I explain.

No matter what shutoff valve I turned off or on, both hot and cold were slow to turn off.

I took off the handle...

I will thanks.

When I was looking for a faucet, I couldn't find one that:
A) Fit an 8" 3 whole granite slab
B) That looked half decent.

When I saw this one, I was like "Wow".
It was solid...

I have the 800 number at home somewhere for lifetime replacement parts.

After I was told it was Danske, I ordered my accessories for the bathroom from them because they were very similar.

I'll...
