    Creaking Americast tub

    Per the installation directions, there is a ~12" x 18" access slot cut in the plywood subfloor for the waste pipe/etc...nothing contacts it, whatsoever. What's really aggravating is that apparently A/S has since changed the design of this Princeton tub, and now has a 'waffle' structure on the...

    Creaking Americast tub

    The tile is not in contact with the tub- there is a good bead of flexible, sanded caulk b/w the tile & tub surfaces. It's been installed/finished for a while, so short of a complete re-do, any such sill gasket isn't an option. In any case, the creaking is clearly coming from the bottom of the...

    Creaking Americast tub

    This dang tub has just gotten creakier & creakier....I'm pissed! As noted in my original post, the tub was installed exactly according to A/S directions...the floor & stringer are dead level. When I called the A/S rep last year, they said a mortar bed would void the warranty- so it didn't get...

    Creaking Americast tub

    Just talked w/ Amer Standard- had to call twice, b/c the first person was truly clueless, and could not (would not?) transfer me to a supervisor. The second person was more helpful, but after describing the problem, they zeroed in immediately on the stringer as the problem. I was well aware of...

    Creaking Americast tub

    Installed an Americast tub a couple months ago- used 2x4 ledgers along back, as directed. Mfr does not recommend mud under the tub (will void warranty if it is used)- I was skeptical, but followed their recommendation. Tile is in and finished/caulked, and the tub has started creaking- along the...

    3 way switching & fluorescent lights

    No, the switches aren't lighted- they are Decora 20A switches. Each of the fixtures are grounded to the ground wires- all ground wires are connected all the way back to the source. Thanks for your continued persistence on this...

    3 way switching & fluorescent lights

    This is how the fixtures were wired: Power to first switch -- 12-2. First switch to first light -- 12-3 with white neutral and red/black travelers. First light to second light -- One 12-2 is neutral continuing onward and switched hot coming back. Other 12-2 is traveler pair. Second light to...

    3 way switching & fluorescent lights

    First time post- take it easy on me, folks... I'm wiring new construction in a garage, and installing 3, 96" fluorescent controlled by 3 way switches. Power source at switch #1, 3 light fixtures, then switch #2. This is a 20A circuit, with 12 gauge wiring throughout. I ran 12-3 from switch...
