Thanks, BlueOaks! I'm also looking at a float from rainbrothers that they advertise as being safe for potable water. I really should also look into some sort of whole house filtering system at some point. Thanks, Fitter30. I think I understand what you're saying, but I don't know how to apply...

Thank you for the replies! Do you think the relay I linked would work? @Blue Oaks the reason it says that float is not for potable water is because of the chemicals in the float. It's apparently toxic for drinking water. I've seen similar ones on Amazon where they say that the material is not...

Hey, its me again! I"m the crazy cat lady out in the woods. Back with my never-ending projects. Recently my jet pump and pressure tank died which required some modifications to plumbing and we figured we'd update the electrical while we were at it. I have a strange setup for my well system...

Here's the suction cup towel bar. It keeps falling off so I may have to use the included adhesive disks, but its very easy to put back on so it hasn't bothered me too much. Today I put up a new shelf. Cheap one from clearance at Walmart. It's not quite level but I will move it and level it when...

Thanks. I haven't posted in awhile. Whole family got Covid and my mother almost died-- not from Covid, but from a kidney stone that triggered diabetic ketoacidosis and put her in ICU for awhile. I will have to dig up the photo, but I added a suction cup towel bar for my washcloth. It keeps...

Knocked one more thing off the list: Mounted the robe hook. It was a pain because the screws stripped out (I pre-drilled but they were designed to go into drywall anchors and I was trying to put them into a stud). They got stuck almost all the way in and removing them was a pain. I accidentally...

I think it is important to consider the function in this case. Is there more than one person using the bathroom at a time? Would there need to be a 2nd sink? Resale value is another consideration. I've seen a lot of shows where people want double sinks in a bathroom. I personally like a single...

More pictures. Last pic was of the toilet paper holder (I cleaned up the floor after that-- the messed up wall painted white will be covered with wainscoting). Towel bar. Please excuse the distortion. It got all weird because I had to resize smaller so the image could be posted. I added the...

Pictures (continued). After removing tape-- its very sloppy and nowhere near perfect but I'm satisfied with it. I do need to fill in the holes from the old towel bar but that is not urgent. more pictures in next post (not sure how many can fit in one post).

Looks like Tumblr pics worked now. But I'm going to try to post some here and see how it goes. Finished caulking & painting, got shower curtain rods up, curtain up, hooks on back wall rod for backscrubbers/body scrubbers, got a suction cup bin to hold bath gloves & hide the patch job over where...

Thank you, Taylor! I'm going to see if I can post some photos to catch up now.

Got three pieces of horizontal trim up & a corner trim piece. Friend started feeling sick from the smell of the adhesive (I didn't even notice a smell from it at all but my allergies have my nose plugged up a bit). Because of how I shimmed on the side wall (due to how it tilts) I didn't have to...

It will be so nice to shower in my own bathroom and not have to go over to my friend's house for it! My friend only has one bathroom so its awkward as no one else feels comfortable going in while I'm showering. I personally don't care if anyone walks in on me but I know they would feel awkward...

Today was productive even if we only had 3 hours to work. It poured rain on my trim as I was bringing it up from the workshop to the house. My workshop is pretty far from the house. It was only sprinkling when I went down to get it but by the time I was bringing it out to the truck it was coming...

Since my last post I've drilled the pilot hole for the tub spout from the closet, "mudded" the cement board with modified thinset mortar (as per mfr instructions), installed L-bead trim along with the "mud", used a repair kit on the exposed steel on the tub, installed the surround, primed &...
