Re: Venting in Bathroom Wall

Greg,

I contacted the plumber and he assured me there was a vent in the wall. He corrected the problem by taking the black 'O" ring out of the stopper and we are good to go. Easy solve.
One of those free plumber tips. All is well!

Re: Intalling exterior sconce at front door

I went ahead and inserted a 2x4 block next to an existing stud and realized that the sconce would not fit the opening.

Re: Intalling exterior sconce at front door

Re: Intalling exterior sconce at front door

Since I'm not too familiar with technology I'll restate my post since it seems a bit unclear even as I reread it.
