Thanks Dana. I guess I wasn't that clear. The house is vinyl sided and behind that is plywood. I live in southern Ontario in an area called Fort Erie. ( right at the border with Buffalo NY). The entire exterior wall will be covered with the moisture retardent 1/2" sheetrock except in the...

Thank you jw. The heater is more a decoration and is not being used as the only source of heat. I am remodeling the bathroom and then will be selling my home. I have never needed to turn that heater on, but a prospective buyer will run far and wide if he doesn't see a heat source in that...

Thank you JW.I haven't laugh so hard in a long time. You are hilarious. Just a good ole boy with a rocket scientist brain? Here's my question. I removed an old electric baseboard heater that was in my bathroom. I wish to replace it with the correct sized heater. The old one says 240volt, 500...

I now this question has been asked a thousand times, but it seems even on this site, some people say yes and some people say no. Here is my specific situation. I live in a cold climate ( Canada). My home was built in 1954 and has siding on the outside. I am going to put in a corner shower...

The house was built in 1954 and was oringinally a cottage. Many of the homes out here are the same age, but have been updated.It seems I am one of the last to do a bathroom reno. I have been living in this house for only two yrs. Everything in the bathroom looks like it came from an odds...

Thanks Jadnashua, The shower I am going to install is 34" by 42". Only 2 walls have to have dens shield.The other 2 are glass. There is no external venting except a small window which is inside the shower. The room is only 7'x 6'. I removed the wall farthest from the current bathtub shower...

Thank you Terry. The man who will be doing the work told me that where we both live, it is a common problem that he has worked on many times. I was actually, originally, thinking of doing the work myself. Not now that I know what a big deal it is. Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply.

Returning the Kohler is NOT an option.

These panels join together via a snap and click method. There is NO gap between the panels. They will be resting inside the floor pan and will be sealed with a latex or silicone based solution. These panels are used in car washes because they are 99 % waterproof and they are very easily...

I purchased the Kohler K-10494 toilet. It is elongated and has comfort height. It is made for a 12" rough in, but the current toilet is a 10 " rough in. Can you tell me specifically what adapter I can use to make the necessary adjustment ? The Kohler spec sheet says the distance from the...

I am going to put Dumapan panels inside my Maax ( Azure 34" x 42" ) corner stall. There will be no tiles anywhere in the bathroom. I simply want to paint the walls. Can anyone tell me if a special paint is required for a bathroom. Also there seems to be a debate as to what type of drywall...

If you would consider going a little smaller,you might want to try showers by Maax.

Thanks for the info.guys.I just found out that American Standard makes an R430 diverter valve.It has 3 openings. Wouldn't that solve my problem? If it does,it will make my day. ANY help on this would really be great !!! Thank You
