Any tips on installing a bidet appreciated.

Copper pipe glue I'm ready to move my copper water lines. Question: Is the 2-part copper epoxy glue at HD adequate for my application? I've used it to build fountains, and it seems really strong (I had to heat it once to dismantle it, and it still didn't want to come apart). I don't mind...

P-trap It's not much more work for me to change it- just a little extra digging. Plus the Phoenix code requires 2" for showers and I have a 2" p-trap but 1 1/2" drain pipe to the p-trap. The p-trap has a reducer that won't come off either. I delaying progress now until my permits go through.

I have a large shower that is walled and floored with cultured marble. Solid sheets that span the floor to the ceiling, about 1/2" thick. The floor feels very solid. The walls have a little vibration to them when I bump it with my fist. Can I tile over the walls and or the floor? What are the...
