    Toto Drake Whooosh

    I installed the Toto Drake over the weekend and I like the toilet except for the noise when it flushes. It's much louder when it's flushed than either of my older toilets. I'm talking specifically about the whoosh when flushed. It fills up quietly. My wife has already said she won't use the...

    10" Rough in Toilet

    I was able to fit the 12" Drake in the 11" rough in; however, I do think the specs are accurate at 11 1/4" as I had to slide the toilet out about a 1/4". I love the Drake. I especially like the 3 point contact on the tank. I don't know how many times I've installed a tank and would worry that...

    10" Rough in Toilet

    OK. I've been on this forum for awhile now and you've convinced me to buy the Drake. One problem. I have 11" rough in and need the 10" Drake and no one in my area has any and Toto says it will be months before any are available. I asked a supplier about using the 12" Drake and he told me that...

    Thermostat Problem?

    I should have included that I have a forced hot water system and I live in a ranch house. My system doesn't have a fan only the circulator and that seems to work fine. I'm starting to think that the tstat temp is inaccurate and that the tstat hallway placement is too close to my dining room...

    Thermostat Problem?

    I have a Honeywell RTH 6300 Programmable Thermostat. It is about one years old. I have a Weil McClein gas furnace that is about 1 1/2 year old. My house is insulated and the windows are new. Here's my problem. In the vening, the thermostat kicks on maybe every 20 minutes. It stays on for...

    Septic Tank Odor - Vent pipe (Why now?)

    Septic tank odor Outside Last August, I bought a new house. The cesspool did not pass inspection and was replaced with a septic system in October. Prior to installing the septic system, my wife and I would notice an occasional odor and figured it was from the cesspool. However, we still get...

    Aquastat setting

    I recently purchased a 1200 sq ft. ranch style house with an old Crane 70 Series oil fired boiler. I'm probably going to replace it down the road. In the meantime, I want to get it running as efficiently as possible. I did have an oil company clean the boiler and the tech said that it was...

    2 wire heating system

    Is that a problem? I have an oil fired burner with forced hot water. How would the fan on/auto affect the system?

    2 wire heating system

    I recently purchased a house and want to replace the Honeywell T87A 1000 thermostat with a programmable one. I purchased a Honeywell RTH6300B "5-2 Day" thermostat. When I removed the old t'stat, I noticed that there were only two wires, a black and a white. I traced the wiring back to the...

    Wet Bathroom Walls and Ceilings

    Something else I noticed. I'm not sure how to describe it. While taking a shower, the wall gets a little darker around the the shower head. It seems to creep up the wall and then spreads when it reached the ceiling. At first, I thought the shower head pipe was leaking but it isn't. The...

    Wet Bathroom Walls and Ceilings

    Thanks for the replies. I did place a vent cap on the soffit. It has a damper on it and is faced away from the house so that most of the moisture will be sent out past the soffet and up in to the air.

    Wet Bathroom Walls and Ceilings

    I recently purchased a house. The bathroom did not have fan and so I knew eventually I would have to install one. Over the last few days, my wife and I have noticed some small mold spots on the ceiling. The spots look like someone took a pencil and started poking onto the ceiling. Over the...
