    Black mold ??

    For whatever reason, there is an excessive amount of black mold that is above the water line of all of our toilets and, on the shower heads. Of all the places that I've lived, I have never seen this what so ever. And I've lived in some old run down damp dumps when I was younger... We have...

    Shower in the basement, do I dare?

    Seems like every task I take on, gets more complicated. This time, I'm adding a bedroom to a large portion of our finished basement. :( We already have a half bath (toilet/sink) there. I'm assuming it was done correctly as every model of this house in our plan has the same half bath...

    broken water supply to washer - I stripped the threads! Brand new!

    I'm such an idiot. I had a new washer and dryer shipped to me, but the delivery guys tracked a TON of mud onto my carpet going downstairs. Instead of letting them hook it up, I was pissed and threw them out. When I say a ton I mean, it took me 3 hours to clean the carpets and I still have a...

    Copper to Brass with Teflon

    Started a new thread as, it is a new issue and I figure it best for those using the SEACH button at the top, which has helped me BIGTIME in the past. I recently botched a job soldering copper to brass. I don't think it got hot enough to melt the solder correctly and thus I had my first...

    Delta Valve, can I drill it?

    I recently installed a delta shower valve for a shower I'm putting in. It FAILED the water test (pinhole leak) so after searching as I've never had a faulty solder joint, I figured it best to disassemble it completely and start over as resoldering never holds apparently. So I have TWO...

    Light above the shower..

    I have a light and a fan over my toilet right now but I am considering combining and moving or at least moving the light over the shower area. There is a GFI outlet near the sink but the electric going to the fan and the light is tied into another circuit. Should I tap into the GFI with a...
