    8in rough in

    Remove stud wall or lower part of wall? Or just area where toilet sits? Reframe, with thinner battens and new drywall?

    Can this drip be stopped?

    There is a break down drawing of the parts and installation instructions. It doesn’t appear to be a tube inside the faucet body. https://www.graff-designs.com/en/catalog/bathroom/dett/322/luna-wall-mounted-lavatory-vessel-filler-w-single-control-handle/ Maybe the flow regulator could be...

    Laser Pointer for a curious cat

    I use a laser pointer to chase feral chickens from my property. The green dot on the ground/vegetation freaks them out.

    Yet another post from someone going crazy choosing a toilet

    Assuming a vent fan is independent of your light circuit, you could install smart bulbs, wireless remote dimmer/on/off switch mounted anywhere. Your existing light switch would stay always on. The Hue system has all these capabilities. Probably be cheaper than a electrician moving an outlet...

    Outdoor shower

    I’ve had a few outdoor showers. One in a tree house. It would be better to have the valve at the shower and not some distance away. If you’re already running one line, it’s not too hard to run another. Depending on ambient temperature I tend to adjust the shower quite a bit. Plus it will...

    Kitchen faucet nut won't budge for removal

    Drilling with long bit is probably easiest since Dremel might not fit. Wear eye protection. If you can get some sort of wrench on it but no room to turn it, try unscrewing faucet from top. You might have to disassemble it a bit depending on design to get a grip on a non rotating part.

    Pull Down Kitchen Faucet

    First make sure all connections are screwed tight. I would try calling Hansgrohe customer service. They might send you the parts you need for free. Grohe, although not the same company, has sent me many free parts, from the quick disconnects, soap dispensers, kitchen nozzles, etc. If they...

    Making Pipe Threads Fit Closer Together?

    Ended up cutting the valve threads off. Seems to work fine although there’s no way to really test it. These really are great units for $300.

    Making Pipe Threads Fit Closer Together?

    None of ones near me carry them. Found a valve for a washing box that has running threads I can cut off. $15 from Home Depot if all else fails.

    Toto Soft Close Repair?

    Kohler makes some nice soft close seats. They snap on and off, plus soft close mechanism is repairable. Kohler has sent me parts for free before. Costco in store had them for less than $30, but don’t know if they were the quick disconnect ones.

    Fixing an incorrect placement for Hansgrohe tub spout

    I’m putting in a Grohe shower retro system that has a part that might be able to be used as a spacer. It’s 3 1/2” dia, 1 1/8” hole, 1/2” thick, heavy chrome plated brass. It’s the donut shaped piece in figure 6. Try calling Grohe to see if you could buy one even though there’s no part...

    Making Pipe Threads Fit Closer Together?

    Thanks for that. Will try that if I can find it. Been searching online and found a couple places selling stainless. Would rather have brass. If you know of a place that sells it please post.

    Making Pipe Threads Fit Closer Together?

    That would help by cleaning up the threads a bit? Would that make the threads deeper? I bet the tap would bottom out before helping much. Really concerns me to do anything with fitting in wall since I can’t repair that without breaking into tile.

    Making Pipe Threads Fit Closer Together?

    I'm installing a Grohe Retro Shower System. It uses existing faucet and adds a diverted. It screws into existing shower arm fitting with a brass threaded fitting. Different length nipples are used to adjust length the brass fitting protrudes from wall to be within the small tolerance allowed...

    Washlet Base Plate Assembly THU9492

    If you unlatch the seat from the bracket while the unit is on, it turns itself off, the power light will blink but it won’t function. Maybe there’s a position with the latch once slipped over bracket even without clips that would allow it to run?

    Advice for replacing an old toilet who's dimensions don't seem to exist any more

    Would a little bit smaller door clear? Trim out the latch side jam smaller. Might even be able to use same door. What’s happening with the door by the sink? Can that be reconfigured? Then maybe a barn door slider could replace one by toilet. Seems like a bi-fold door by toilet would give...

    Need advice on Toto 1 GPF vs 1.28 GPF Toilet

    I know this is from last year. I was searching for something else and ran across this post. Maybe with the dilution with the tank water it doesn’t matter, but it should be mentioned chlorine and vinegar should never be combined. https://www.thoughtco.com/mixing-bleach-and-vinegar-609281
