    Shower Plumbing Question

    I'm replacing a tub with a shower and plumbing the drain. I am removing the reducing tee and using a 2" drain instead of the 1.5". The drain, however is situated directly above a joist and there isn't room to place the p trap in that spot. The joist has already been notched, and I do not wish...

    Showerhead feed above tile line?

    Can I have the pipe feeding the showerhead come from above the tile line? (maybe 4-6") The water emitting surface will be slightly below the tile line after the extension, bend, etc... Seems like if rainshowers can be plumbed through the ceiling it should be ok. Tile line is 60" above tub...

    Showerhead/Handshower/Tub Filler Combo Question

    You're talking about the thermobalance III valve right? Looks nice. ~$65 for the valve and several trims available ~$180. Pretty good. Thanks for the tip.

Can I use just one transfer valve and use a tub filler with a diverter so that when closed it sends the water up to the transfer valve which then selects between the handshower and the...

    Recommended Suppliers in SoCal?

    Pacific Sales is usually higher priced and less willing to cut deals in my experience (direct to customer). I ended up getting the tub for approx 35% off retail. Their cost was 55% off retail.

    Recommended Suppliers in SoCal?

    Well I got a quote from the mentioned plumbers warehouse on a kohler tub at approx 30% off kohler's suggested retail. Not sure how pricing is structured but is this the best i should expect to find?

    Glass Shelves

    I need to put glass shelves in a frameless 42" upper dish cabinet but am nervous about their weight bearing capacity. What thickness of glass would you recommend and is support at only the two ends sufficient?

    Non-Sliding Tub Doors?

    I've been searching but I haven't been able to find any glass tub doors that are hinged instead of sliding. Anyone know any companies that make these?

    Stud finders not working on hi gloss paint?

    Yeah i mean i knew the approximate location of the studs but was just surprised to get that result. The paint is latex based over an enamel primer. Anyway, just curious to see why it happened.

    Stud finders not working on hi gloss paint?

    I've tested 2 stud finders on the wall I'm working on and neither work. They give errors or think the whole wall is a stud. They do work on other walls though and the only difference is the hi gloss paint. Otherwise both walls are 1/2" drywall. Is the paint too reflective for the sonar?
