I am having a problem with my irrigation system not working. The pump seems to run ok but none of the zones are working. The water for the system is taken from a lake and is fed via a 2 inch PVC pipe. The system is about 15 years old and the pump has been replaced once as has the timer. This...

I am installing a double sink vanity in my master bath. The new sink drains no longer line up with the waste pipe in the wall. Can I use a 990 degree bend coming out of the wall to route the drain line along the back of the vanity and have the ptrap face towards the back as well? I know I can...

Hello, While replacing the third (and final) toilet in my house (2 Toto Drakes and 1 Soiree) I found that the closet flange was not screwed to the floor and was tilted about 1/2 in. The back of the flange touches the floor and the front is raised about 1/2 inch. The toilet I removed had been...

I am going to purchase Grohe valves (1 thermostatic and 2 flow) for my master bath shower remodel. We were looking at 'aquabrass' as I posted in another question, but my wife saw the Grohe 'Allure' style and made her/our decision. I now need to decide on 1/2 inch versus 3/4 inch. I have 3/4...

Hello, I have been lurking for awhile and have just started a Master Bath remodel. (It was a projrct but is fast becoming a 'hobby' :D) So far I have removed the shower and pan, 3/4 of the floor tile and cement board and 3 walls of drywall to the studs. Based on reading this great forum so far...

I am attempting my first bathroom renovation (its a 1/2 bath) and am in a bit of a bind with installing the new vanity and sink. The new vanity is a raised model with a shelf that is 14 inches from the floor. Of course the existing p-trap is at a height of 13 inches from the floor now that I...
