    ABS pipe instead of sheet metal downspouts

    ABS pipe instead of sheet metal downspouts

    Anyone have any thoughts about using ABS DWV pipe for downspouts instead of the crappy, drippy, thin sheet metal stuff? I've used it before and cut some unions into C-shapes to serve as snap-on fittings to the side of the house, and it worked pretty well, and paints up nice, too. It's a nice...

    Stainless Steel Shower Base Installation

    Here are my plans to install a stainless steel shower base. The thing has almost no pitch/slope and is just plain sheet metal, so I'm a little worried. Anyway: 1. Staple plastic sheet to subfloor. 2. Trowel down thinset with a notched trowel, thicker at perimeter. 3. Set in base...
