    Faucet valve and WD40

    I have hard water and hot water faucet valve was getting extremely hard to twist. Someone suggested spraying it with WD40. I did and it's now twisting smoothly and easily, but the faucet started to drip quite a bit. It's been a while now and it won't stop. (Originally I was hoping the WD40...

    Toilet not stable - what to do?

    Terry, thanks for answering. I assume that the bowl should be shimmed prior to tightening the nuts, right? First, make sure the bowl is stable by shimming it, then tighten the nuts, then caulk?

    Toilet not stable - what to do?

    My mom had her bathroom fully remodeled. There are new tile floors and a new toilet too (AmStd Cadet 3). At first the installation seemed solid, but after 1 month the toilet started to rock back & forth a little. She called the guy who did the work and he tightened the bolts a little more...

    Toilet for tight budget

    Toilet for tight budget

    Neah. She's super thrifty with my money and won't be happy if I spend. Not to mention I am already contributing a lion share of remodeling expenses. So, any recommendations in the economy section of the toilet market?

    Toilet for tight budget

    To be honest we didn't select any one yet. We just noticed that there are some very inexpensive toilets there (as well as very expensive ones). She wanted to save on the toilet and get a washlet for $150 (the one that does not come with the seat and cover). It just connects with water lines...

    Toilet for tight budget

    I am helping my mom with the renovation. She has a VERY tight budget and needs to select an inexpensive toilet. By reading this forum I see that Toto Drake is highly recommended. I also saw a reference to American Standard Cadet 3, which is a little cheaper. Are there cheaper toilets that...
