Jim, you have missed my point entirely.

Hi, Guys,
Well, lost the internet much longer than expected. I'm back online, but a little deflated. We can't afford the house as it is currently designed. Though we specified our budget to...

Hello, Guys,
I'm sorry for dropping out of sight. I moved to a temporary apartment and lost my internet longer than I thought. Much longer. Your advice is stellar! I've cut-and-pasted your...

Hello, Everyone,
My apologies for abruptly dropping out of sight. I had to move to a temporary (tiny) apartment while we build and I unexpectedly lost internet for much longer than I...

Gary,
It's such a huge investment and I know too many people who are living in "new" construction that is falling down around them. I started reading about foundations a year ago (better get...

John,
I've e-mailed to you pdf docs of the engineer's drawing of the area containing the shower, as well as the architect's floor plan of the bathroom. Now that I'm looking at the architect's...

Gary,
You and I are thinking alike. I'm on to the practice of builders installing "no name" brands. On the other hand, maybe most people don't care, until there's a problem, and so the...

Ain't that the truth! I. Know. Nothing. Despite my efforts, the more I read, the less I realize that I know. One thread of...

I'm charged with building our house while my husband is overseas for the next year or more. We'll break ground soon on a new home and would like suggestions on the appropriate well pump for our...

Jim,
Out of respect for the readers here, I'm going to post my well data at the Pump & Well Forum. I suspect there are more people like myself needing this guidance and they can also benefit by...

Jim,
I hear you. But the analyst in me says that keeping water away from the wall seams (though they're protected by a membrane) is always best. Besides, if a regular drain requires multiple...

John,
Thank you for your time! We break ground in a couple months, so we've got a clean slate. The shower is part of plans drawn by an architect, so the shower structure should get built...

Dana, Jim, and Dave,
I hate to lose the momentum, but have the packers and movers coming in a few hours and I'll relocate to a temporary apartment for the upcoming home construction. I'm...

Jim, I can't thank you enough. This is exactly the kind of information I'm looking for. This is my first use of well water and first new construction. I suspected there was so much more to be...

Excellent point, Mr. Sawyer. Thank you for weighing in and giving your time.

I'm in SC near North Augusta, equal distance from Augusta, GA. We're building a new home and I'm looking for a qualified installer of a FreeStyle linear drain in a zero-threshold shower. Actually,...
