    I finally got around to connecting the drain today. Took my time, used a template and measured twice. It should work. Thanks for everyones advice. Now I got to tackle moving the toilet drain.

    Shower drain

    Hi, I‘m a homeowner in the process of connecting the 2“ PVC shower drain in the basement, for a shower tray. The existing drain was roughed in when built. It looks like all I need to do at this point is shorten the main line so the trap lines up. Before I make the cut, does it appear I’m...

    Delta Classic 500 shower surround

    Thanks, The surround is screwed at the top, but there is a couple spots where the surround is glued in a couple spots. If I do go this way, I‘ll definitely beef it up.

    Delta Classic 500 shower surround

    Hi, I‘m going to install a Delta classic 500 60x32 shower surround in my basement. I’m wanting to gain another inch of clearance between my toilet and the shower stall by using 2x3 studs for the rear 60” wall. The other two walls will be framed out with 2x4’s. Does anyone see any problems I...

    Resin and sizing question.

    Thanks for the reply Treeman. I’m actually asking about a new home I had built west of you near Holland. I’m pretty sure I’m ordering a system with a Flex 5600SXT and 32000 grain capacity with the standard 8% resin like you mentioned. I just tested the PH level and it looks to be around...

    Resin and sizing question.

    Thanks Reach, Yes you're correct I did not use the nominal grain sizing but used the approximate efficiency sizing. So I'll go with the 1 cuft size. The house is only a couple months but I don't see any rust color forming as of yet. Might need to wait a while, cause I'm not sure how long it...

    Resin and sizing question.

    Hi, did some research so hopefully I somewhat understand my needs but wanted to ask a couple questions before buying a softener system. I'm moving into a new home with a well. I purchased a Hanna Labs harness and iron test kit. My hardness reads 111PPM which converted to grains is around...

    Tub install help.

    Yea, that's pretty much it Wayne. I think that's a good idea. I'll try to come up with something once I get home and give it a try. Probably won't get to setting it in the mortar until this weekend since I don't have a lot of time after work. Thanks, Mike

    Tub install help.

    Thanks Terry, for you pro's that do this for a living it's probably no biggie, but this will be the first time installing a tub which if it wasn't for the mortar step, not too bad. I just hate to make a mess with the mortar while trying to lower it onto the mortar by myself. I was thinking...

    Tub install help.

    Hi, first post because I usually find what I'm looking for by searching first. I'm installing my first tub. I have it leveled, installed a ledger board, got the drain/overflow all set and I'm just about ready to drop it in the mortar bed. My question is how are you suppose to suspend it...
