How is that tacky? I think they look a lot less tacky then they way the people had it. With a hole larger than the pipe so you can see into the wall. Where do you find the split plastic ones?

I am having a tough time finding a split one that says for 1/2 copper.

Went to our hardware store today and they had them but not for my size. The pipe coming out of the wall to the toilet is a 1/2". They had for 1/2" pipe or 3/4" copper but not 1/2" copper. I live 40 miles from Home Depot, so I am not going to drive there just to get one. I guess I need to...

I am not even sure what the name of this would be but here it goes. Coming out of the wall going to the toilet is the copper fitting which a flex tube is connected to. My question is about the copper pipe coming out of the wall. The hole around it is much bigger than the actually...

Thanks, that middle one might work. I will check into it.

I did not find it. Man, where do I go:confused::mad:

We are remodeling our bathroom and are having a custom cabinet done. We are looking for a specific style of handle but our custom builder just can't seem to find the handle we want that comes with varying sizes for different size doors that we want. We are looking for something similar to...

Yep, I figured out what it was. The switch only had one cable going in to the switch. The other cable I thought was going into the switch was actually going to a junction box. I got it all wired and it works great. Thanks.

Okay, let's see if I can explain this so people will understand me. I am going to wire a light switch to some new lights that I have in my garage attic which I have no problem doing and understand but have a question about an existing junction box that was in the attic. In the box was the...

Are they saying halogen will be okay?

I just read this article. The new standard actually comes as part of the federal Energy Independence and Security Act, which was signed into law by President George W Bush in 2007. The rest of the country will adopt the standard on January 1, 2012, but California has been given the authority to...

I may be misunderstanding everyone. Are you saying that incandescent bulbs will become illegal? If so, that is not true. If you are not saying that then I will leave it at that. Here is what is actually happening and I am sure that is what you guys are trying to tell me. The law does not...

I am not going to put in a larger bulb than it calls for. I have light fixtures that can take 300 watts and I want to use all 300 watts. If the can calls for 75 than that's all I will use. Where do you find it that it is illegal to make incandescent bulbs?

You will have to show it to me where it says this because there is no law out there that says this. I will buy hundreds of incandescent lights and stock up until LEDs come down in price. I just bought 2 150 watt halogen bulbs plus another couple 100 watt ones also.

I like this, by law. What kind of a country are we starting to get where they dictate by law what lights you can put into something. All I know is that I will never have a CFL in my house. I have read too many negative things about the kind of electricity they produce and the bad crap they...
