I brought home an orphan AO Smith 75 gallon, the previous owner has gone to tankless.... Once in my garage I started looking it over... the burner seems off-kilter by several degrees. The little rusty bracket has a V-shaped notch in it... is the burner meant to sit on that? Should I...

...So we had a hailstorm, roof is getting replaced. I'm thinking ahead to my not-dead-yet-but-could-go-any-time water heater replacement. Of course I haven't picked out a model yet, but I want to cover my bases... I'm thinking of having the roofers put in a vent while it's all apart, in case...

I appear to be the victim of a previous owner's remodel. The right sink on a double vanity isn't vented correctly, I think. When I get my nose down in there it stinks, only when the water is running/has just run. The left sink, no problem. I'm fearful of what I'll find if I go through the...

So. :D Bought this house last year and inherited a probably 10 year-old gas tank water heater. It's been chugging along fine. No problems to speak of for nearly a year here, although did notice once or twice a less hot shower than I'd like, but neatly blamed it on the wife and went to bed...

Probably stupid question, but I'll look forward to stupid answers. :p Sweating hot and cold for a roman tub; I'm running it so the handles are on one side and the spigot on the other (center drain soaker), the idea being less bending over the tub. The PF valve set included this dandy...

So I've finished building the platform for a drop-in fiberglass roman tub, and I'm wondering what you guys would do next. The Executive Design Committee said she wants the top and front to be finished with this dark wood lock-n-fold flooring she found on sale somewhere. So before I start...

Just sort of a check for understanding. :p When we were first looking at this 1960's tri-level, one of the first things I noticed was the washer/dryer on the top floor. Interesting. Well, I figured, it's convenient and there is the slight possibility it was done right. So this week I...

So I'm installing a new soaker tub in the house, which means getting the thing inside. :) It's wide and deep, and won't make it through the front door by several inches, even with a hearty tilt. The only place it's coming in is through the vinyl sliding glass door, and then only if I can get...

Hey all, I've been reading this forum like crazy, tons of good stuff here. I'm dropping in a new deck-mount tub upstairs, and I picked up a groovy cable-driven overflow/stopper dealie. The tub is deep -- 33 inches from drain to lip -- and it's a center drain I've got nearly filling the far...
