I dissembled the popup to better get at the staining. Tried razor blade, Goof-Off, etc. but nothing worked. Then I tried a pumice "scour stick" and it worked great... took a little elbow grease but...

Thanks, all. You're right... I should have used putty, but I wasn't thinking. Instructions said silicone, I used silicone.

Hi,

I installed a new pop up assembly (Peerless) in this sink, and made a bit of a mess of it, I guess by not getting the excess silicone all cleaned off quickly enough. Still, I figured I would...

Thanks. That's exactly what I did this afternoon. Got it installed and tested and seems to be all in order. Will try the new shower tomorrow when the caulk has had time to dry. Thanks for all your...

Thank you, hj. Now it makes sense. (It takes me a while, but eventually...) If you have an example of the brand/model that would work for me, I would appreciate it. Then I'll be done and quit bugging...

Thanks, hj. I'm confused again, though (par for the course). I'm willing to try something besides the Wing-Tite if it works. With the drain I've been sending pics of, the PVC pipe that fits into the...

Decided to go with a Wing-Tite... seems the best solution in this situation.

HJ, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "finally, you seal the drain to the pipe with whatever device came with it" in first post, and "whatever was supplied with the drain" in your...

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the assistance. Instructions for the drain are just as you say, silicone under the flange. I don't want to make this any more complicated than it needs to be, and I know I...

Thanks, hj, appreciate the info. I see a huge variety of sealants and glue in the plumbing section at the store... any recommendations what would work best for PVC to PVC?

No, no, no.... it is a plastic shower base. The walls are tile, the floor is a plastic base.

The drain is a 2" PVC shower drain for preformed bases. The part above the base is just sitting in...

Hi,

I have just retiled a shower and now need to reattach the drain plumbing. In the photos, you can see the hole for the drain and the pieces I need to put in below the floor. It's a tight fit,...

Hi,

I have a Stihl leaf blower, and have just purchased a new shredder blade, as the old one will no longer chop up the leaves. But now I am having difficulty figuring out how to remove the old...

Thanks, all. I think we have had this seven or eight years. I tried to pop the canopy off, but while the nut turns the bolt or whatever is inside it turns as well so it won't come off. I guess...

Yup... no progress... this is what it does.

Thanks, Mick. I tried it and no go. (I am assuming that by the bottom ball valve you mean theone by the arrow in my photo.) Will continue trying various water on/off combinations. But if that does...

I just turned on the sprinkler system for the year (I'm in Minnesota) and have a problem I have not encountered in the seven or eight years we have had this system. With the water line open, water...

Sorry the pic is not good. It is definitely not chaulk. It is a "U" jointed plastic piece that goes around the flooring. Maybe you can see a little better in this pic. But... maybe when I cut, I...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I will give it a shot... I am in the midst of redoing a shower, and have removed the 48x32 shower pan and am replacing it with a 48x34 pan. Fits fine but I...

It's a 2-inch pipe. Got the coupler and a length of pipe, and all worked out fine. Thanks for the help.

Thanks, jc. Option 1 definitely sounds like the best route. But let me make sure I am doing it right (please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject). This pipe appears to be 2 1/4 inches in...

I sawed off a portion of the PVC in the photo so I could remove a shower basin wth built-in drain. Could someone be kind enough to advise on the next steps? I am wondering if there is a way to...

The basement underneath is open, so access there is very easy, and there is a bathroom and a kitchen sink both no more than 15 feet from the refrigerator, so lines are near.

I don't like messing with much plumbing other than working under the sink, so I need a pro for this. I need to run water to a new refrigerator, have never had one with water. The kitchen sink is...

I'm sure you guys have seen it all...
