    Bathroom Sink Leaks

    Found it! A little plastic doodad, half blue, half red, had to be popped off to find the pit where a philips head screwdriver fit. It's a ball type faucet and the left (hot) washer was nicked. Anybody know how a practically new faucet could get a nicked washer? Off to the hardware store I...

    Extending Central Heat to 2nd and 3rd Floors

    Makes sense. Unfortunately, a time meter would not work if the gas company did not use it to bill the tenants. I believe the gas company only uses their official gas meters. Right now, there are 3 of them, one for each occupant. I liked the idea of using one high-efficiency heating system...

    Extending Central Heat to 2nd and 3rd Floors

    I goofed. Each apartment is 1157 sq. ft. and not 1500. Insulated? I can see a thick layer of fiberglass between the rafters in the basement, but I won't find out more until next week when I'll be able to pull off a few outlet covers with my home inspector in tow. Maybe the attic will have a...

    Extending Central Heat to 2nd and 3rd Floors

    I should have been more clear. The three decker was built in 1916 and back then, there were few options. Only the first floor has central heat by a forced air gas furnace. That furnace is at least 20 years old so should go. The vents are very strange looking as well. Each unit above will...

    When you say depends on the layout, can you be more specific? Thanks!

    Extending Central Heat to 2nd and 3rd Floors

    I'm buying an old house with 3 apartments. Currently, there's an old FHA system for the first floor apartment, and just gas pipes for the second and third floor apartments. I'd like to convert floors 2 and 3 to central heat. I know putting in ductwork will be very impractical so I was thinking...

    Bathroom Sink Leaks

    Our single handle bathroom sink faucet leaks on the hot side. It's a steady flow so the hot side was turned off. How is this fixed?

    Toto Drake vs. UltraMax vs. Eljer Titan vs. Dalton

    Terry, I respect your opinion and will go with the one-piece sans the special coating. Thanks for your very prompt response!

    Toto Drake vs. UltraMax vs. Eljer Titan vs. Dalton

    I was going to get an Eljer Titan for about $300 until I started reading about the Toto. So now I'm considering these as well: Toto UltraMax, Toto Drake CST744S and the CST734F Dalton The Drake is cheaper than the UltraMax and the optional CEFIONTECT finish adds a bit more. How are these...

    Long Term Life Of CEFIONTECT Finsish

    CEFIONTECT Worth the Extra Cost? Is the Toto CEFIONTECT worth the extra dollars?
