Any ideas on dealing with the lines to toilets? These are out and naked... Yes, I'm HOPING that the belly is not as bad as it looks (clearly folks who tried to close it up didn't have a clue about using the right materials!). But... that big blue tarp is lurking... If there's anything that I've lear...

I looked it up and this is what I'd used: http://www.lowes.com/pd_27335-104-A-124_4294822030+4294821352+4294954937_4294937087_?productId=3133579&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_quantity_sold|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Watts_4294822030%2B4294821352%2B4294954937_4294937087_%3FNs%3Dp...

Greg, thanks for the input! Yes, the shutoffs on the outside faucets! I had a mental note to do this. Regarding the attaching of the lines under cabinets, are you saying that you run the lines back against the wall? What do you use to anchor with? (would like something that looks good) Right now eve...

I'm in the process of assessing a project for replacing all my plumbing with PEX and have a few questions that I have been unable to get clarification on from reading previous postings here. 1) Can I used PEX to connect up directly to my hot water heater (tank), or do I HAVE to have copper flex line...

My brains are a bit fried right now (I'm also working up a plan to re-plumb w/PEX, among several other projects...), but I ran into a screwy problem when I went to do my bathroom sink faucets. My episode might be similar to yours... I have CPVC pipe, not PB, though I also have supply lines with non-...

Nothing exciting here, not fancy (old cabinets still). Just wanting to conclude my episode, and to show a couple of pics in case they'd be of use to someone contemplating a sink replacement.

Aaron, thanks for the suggestion. We'd looked at these, and while we liked them, they won't fit our current cabinetry :-( Jim, we'd love to be able to replace the cabinets (could have gotten a standard sink!), but have so many other pressing priorities... (hot water tank is on the horizon- 12 years ...

I gauge on value, value as pertains to how important something is and how much it's used. Our current sink is just slightly more functional than "useless." Lots of time is wasted juggling stuff around. At just 5" deep it's nearly impossible to wash pots: it's hard for my diminutive wi...

I've managed to find TWO sinks that match my requirements, both from the same manufacturer! I didn't think I was THAT picky! Anyway... what are folks' thoughts on these? http://www.homewarehq.com/Whitehaus-30-noah-Stainless-Steel-single-bowl-drop-in-sink-whnda3016.aspx WHNDA3016.jpg http://www.homew...

Anyone have any experiences with acrylic sinks? I'm trying to locate a nice, deep, single bowl kitchen sink. The pain is locating one that will fit. I think that I've found one that is dimensionally correct, but it's acrylic. Seems that every material has its pluses and minuses... This is what I loc...

I'm not looking to change out the plastic, just the strip. I took a closer look at it and see that it's a harder plastic than I'd previously thought: maybe due to age? anyway, it's not as pliable as the rubber that's used for window (and door) screens. I think that the primary function is to hold th...

I've got a walk-in shower with two sliding doors. The doors are plastic (I think!) with about 1/8" gray seals showing in the front that, apparently, are to hold the plastic in (more than doing any "sealing" against water), kind of like the gray rubber that's used to hold in screens in...

Anyone know whether it's permissible to run electrical service as pass-through under a manufactured home? The home is on a concrete pad and it would be far more convenient to route this service over top the pad than having to trench around the pad. I have a service pole at one corner of the home and...

Well... as they say, life is about compromises... We ended up having the wood stove installed in the corner of the front room. We did this after carefully measuring and assessing how it would appear there. The original location would have placed a pad in proximity to too high of a traffic area, not ...

OK, good to know that it's not some odd situation. I recall hearing "temporary" before, but always thought that perhaps this was just an uncompleted job...
