    E-Z drywall tape?

    Finally time to drywall the bath. As a novice, I've read alot online about tape vs mesh, etc. I just found a product called E-Z drywall taping system that has a self-adhesive tape to cover the seams, then put 2 more coats of mud on. No embedding the tape step. Has anyone used this? It seems...

    combining fan and dryer vent?

    Maax vs Aqua Glass?

    I'm getting ready to purchase a replacement tub for a remodel. After much reading online, I've decided to go w/acrylic, and realize there are many "grades" of the product. My budget for the tub is $600-850. Can I buy a decent acrylic for that, and is there a quality difference between Maax...

    main stack jog?

    I'm doing a bath remodel and want to move the main stack about 6-10". It can stay in the same wall, but I am cutting into that wall to put in an alcove (annexing a closet) and need more width where the stack sits to put in a W/D. The pipe is 50+yrs cast iron. Is it possible to essentially...
