    Service riser needs for an electrical service upgrade?

    well the contractor is charging 250 extra to install with conduit. BUT, the more I've thought about the bushes in front and looked at the other houses in the area, the more I feel you are probably right...it's best to just go with the extra. Although I may try to talk him down on the cost for...

    Service riser needs for an electrical service upgrade?

    it is code compliant, but honestly most homes around here DO have conduit. At least the newer installations do. There seems to be some contention on whether it is a bad idea or not....hopefully a few more people weigh in so I can make a decision with a clear concience!

    Service riser needs for an electrical service upgrade?

    We are currently looking at upgrading our electrical service into the house. One of our quotes came back and was very reasonable, but had something that made me pause. For the service riser (aerial) he is suggesting we replace the existing pipe and wires with a grey cable...no pipe. Does...

    what delta plumbing parts am I missing here?

    well I know the faucet is basically just trim except for the cartridge which in this case is 2 function for temp and pressure. The valve is what brings it all together I think. The one I have I believe is multifunction (although i could be wrong!) and would work with a single, dual, or...

    what delta plumbing parts am I missing here?

    I'm a little confused by all the many options, and I'm not sure I've accounted for everything I need to order for my new shower! I'm putting in: Delta Victorian Monitor 17 Series Tub & Shower Faucet T17455 Chrome Delta Victorian Shower Mount Handshower - Model #: 54513 Chrome Delta...

    difference between an americast tub I'd buy at Lowes vs one from a dealer?

    I didn't know if it made sense; in fact I kind of suspected not...that's why I posted for advice :) the inspection point is well taken though. I could certainly see where a bulk order going out might not be well inspected. reguardless the dealer in question mentioned nothing about...

    difference between an americast tub I'd buy at Lowes vs one from a dealer?

    it wasn't really the size that had me concerned when I originally posted so much as the quality of the materials used. the dealer I spoke with said that the quality of the americast material used in the cambridge he was offering was of a far superior quality to the princeton I'd be getting at...

    difference between an americast tub I'd buy at Lowes vs one from a dealer?

    thank you terry! that's a great way to think about it for me. I'm not really convinced that I can fit a 32" tub in there...the current tub is 29 I think and only 16 3/4 away from the center of the toilet's rough in. Although bathing would be nice, I doubt the room is really practical for...

    difference between an americast tub I'd buy at Lowes vs one from a dealer?

    my best guess is that the dealer one is American Standard 2460.102.020 Cambridge. At least, I can't find any other 60x32 americast tubs online. he wrote down that it was 16.75 deep and the cambridge is 17.75...but I suspect that was a mistake. The Lowes tub is the American standard...

    Porcher Pomezia?

    Heh, I feel like I've been staring at toilets for weeks! Unfortunately, one of my biggest problems has really been size...I need to have a round front toilet that is no more than 27 deep and 20 wide. I've found that most of the toto models recommended (at least those that would look ok in a...

    Porcher Pomezia?

    thanks gary. The repair thread seemed to be focussed on the veneto, which seemed like a very different style of toilet! I did find a dealer that sold them and toto yesterday and he said that they aren't really great at flushing. He suggested the toto promenade and I guess I didnt HATE it...

    difference between an americast tub I'd buy at Lowes vs one from a dealer?

    I was at a bathroom dealer yesterday looking at fixtures. He was trying to convince me that the american standard americast tubs that I could get at Lowes would be of far inferior quality to the american standard americast tub he could sell me there. Now, certainly this sounds...

    Porcher Pomezia?

    I'm having alot of trouble finding any MaPs ratings, reviews, or other imput on the Porcher Pomezia round front toilet...positive or negative! This particular one is shorter than most of the Toto units I've seen, which would be great for our teensy tiny bathroom. Obviously though, I don't want...
