    Water Heater Tank Question

    more like "lazy". For new builds or remodeling, he's the man, call backs, not so much. I like to think of it that he might be the "best of the worst". When things were booming, he had 14 guys working for him doing new homes, basement finishes, and commercial jobs; when everything tanked...

    Would You Completely Re-Pipe?

    The house has a basement, all the plumbing is accessable since the basement has ceiling tiles, the kitchen plumbing is a bit more concealed i found out as the kitchen is over top a cistern. In that part of the world hot water tanks do rust and fail, but apparently its rare for copper to fail...

    Water Heater Tank Question

    I was done with a reply, but I hit the wrong button and it was gone. So here I try again. I told the homeowner were going to replace both tanks, warranty or not; as well as the expansion tank and whatever else my plumber suggest. Both tanks, one being allot worse then the other appear to be...

    TOTO Neorest 550 MS980CMG Dual Flush product review and comments

    Alright, I was just a little concerned about clearances so that the waste pipe and water supply don't have to be relocated. I am hoping this is a run of the mill toilet swap and not a full blown remodel. So for the TOTO if the water supply isn't in the ideal perfect location as your pictures on...
