    2nd toilet overflows when it shouldn't

    Following up ... I've had the septic guys in and we/they found that that tank is full and not draining as fast as it should be. (They pumped it out and ran a snake through the main line into the house and found no obstruction.) So, it seems as if there must be an obstruction between the tank...

    Help: tub surround and caulk

    Hi Everyone, I have been doing some digging around the site but haven't found exactly what I need to know, so I'll ask ... (by the way, I'm a new member as of 20 minutes ago) ... I am installing a 5-piece plastic tub wall/surround kit in my bathroom. I've got everything up, and glued in...
