I'm remodeling my bathroom and need to choose a shower pan in 60x32 or 60x34. I don't want to do a tiled shower pan anymore because the grout was hard to clean and came loose or cracked. So I've decide to install a 1 piece shower pan.
I like the Kohler enameled cast iron pans. I looked at...
Yes I shut off the water but there was still some water in the pipes because it keeps dribbling out. I used a propane torch. So maybe these two things were the problem.
It's being crushed close to the threads. I already see some water seeping out. I'm afraid of crushing it more because it...
I tried PB Blaster soaking over night and it still didn't work.
Yes I made sure to use two pipe wrenches. One on the galvanized pipe and one on the fitting so I don't inadvertently break a pipe.
Just water. This galvanized pipe sits in between the water supply line and water spigot to make it longer. It was already like this when I got the house. I wish the plumber who originally did this didn't cheap out and used a brass pipe instead :mad:
That's going to be hard. The brass connector tees off into 3 different ways. 2 of them are soldered and one is threaded. This would turn into a big expensive job if pipes start getting cut and replaced.
I just wonder if their are any tricks plumbers use to remove rusted on threaded pipes.
This may seem like a basic problem but it has stumped me.
On the outside of my house there is a threaded galvanized brass pipe that is screwed into a brass fitting. I'm trying to replace it with a threaded brass pipe because the inside is all corroded and is leaking.
I am unable to remove the...
If I take it to the dump I would need to go in 2 trips because I have a Tacoma. $80 min or $80/ton. If I can haul it all at one then it's not so bad. 2 trips would be $160.
I could dump in my work dumpster. But it I would only be able to do like 3 or 4 bags every week without being too...
I have a Toto Ultramax II 1-piece in one bathroom and a Toto Drake 2-piece in another bathroom. I had to put a Drake in the other bathroom because I tiled behind the toilet and there was no clearance behind the tank without re-plumbing the the closet flange. The Drake was the only toilet than...
So I have 20 bags of unopened concrete left over from the whole remodeling project. The are about 6 months old and was left covered in a tarp outside.
They were supposed to be used for pouring a slab in the backyard but that never materialized. I was considering using them to pour the slab...
It's 4 ply plywood. However it's not structural 1 rated. Also I looked carefully and no where does it have CDX stamped on it. It says APA rated sheathing PS2-10.
The OSB that was used on the house was structural 1 rated.
Will this be a concern?
When my house was remolded last year the contractor used OSB.
Right now my detached garage is being rebuilt by a different contractor. He is using CDX plywood APA rated. He claims it's better.
So which is better? I typically see OSB when houses are being built here.
Thanks. The new foundation seems very robust. I just hope they got the correct of water/concrete mix. It doesn't seem like they were really measuring how much water. They were just spraying water into the mixer until they felt the consistency was right.
Ok the foundation has been done, poured in 3 separate pieces. The old foundation was a mess. Whoever poured the foundation before did not use any rebar. The soil around the garage is sloped so the left side of the top of the old foundation and the wood framing was 3 inches below the soil and...
I need to replace the crumbling foundation for my detached garage.
The contractor wants to replace the foundation by doing one side at a time. So essentially the foundation will be 3 separate pieces because there are 3 sides. He wants to do one side at a time so he can support 1 wall at a...
Would it be a feasible idea to make a deal with a neighbor to backfeed water into one of our hoses with a garden hose to cut down on all of the fees? All of those fees are just to ridiculous.
