The last one was good for 93 years. Here's hoping the next one does as well. :) Thanks.

Will do! Thanks!

My husband and the plumber were bailing out the bathtub the other day. It had a clogged drain. They were dumping the water down the toilet, and inadvertantly dumped the rubber tub stopper down the toilet, too. The stopper is about 1.5 inches in diameter. The plumber said it was small...

I need to obtain a replacement drain assembly for an old clawfoot tub. Like these: http://www.shopping.com/-clawfoot+tub+waste+drain+covers There are a number available online. Can anyone advise me as to the best quality brands? (The plumber is not familiar with these products...

I understand that no one likes someone standing over them every minute of the job asking questions and making comments. It would be both annoying and distracting. I am not talking about that. I am talking about being informed enough to have an intelligent discussion with a professional...

Thanks for your answer. That's interesting to know. The plumber did end up removing the cast iron. The main waste line had already been replaced with plastic a few years back so now the whole thing is plastic. This is under the house, so noise is not a concern. The old cast iron piece was...

:confused: What's wrong with being an informed consumer?? You ask about doctors and dentists: I could tell you several stories about people close to me who saved themselves trouble and literal pain by informing themselves beforehand about possible treatments for medical conditions, and...

OK, thanks Terry and HJ. I will definitely rely on the plumber but I feel more comfortable when I know what's going on. I wasn't aware that cast iron was still being installed. I thought it rusted through after awhile and maybe it would be logical to replace it.

Wow, nice job! I'm working on a very similar project and I hope it turns out as nice. Mine's a 4' x 8' bathroom in a Victorian-era house, which we are renovating and restoring so it fits the style of the rest of the house. Like you, I am going with the small black and white hex tiles...

Hi, on Saturday we gutted our tacky "mobile home style" bathroom that was last remodeled ca. 1980 out of part of the back porch of our Victorian-era house. We want to move the toilet location four inches to one side. The drain outlet for the toilet is very old cast iron pipe. (Evidently...

Unfortunately the US site does not have a list of distributors. I emailed them but so far they haven't replied. Hopefully they will in a couple of days. I really like what I've seen about the Wedi/Fundo stuff--- it looks very, very easy to install. I don't mind paying more for...

Thank you, jad. I looked at the Wedi website and that system looks very easy to work with. However they don't seem to have a list of distributors or prices. I will email them to ask, but do you happen to know if there is a particular store chain that sells their products? I am in Florida.

Hi, I am planning the remodeling of a small bathroom in my home. The bathroom currently has a one piece fiberglass shower stall in it. I think it looks kind of cheesy and I would like to replace it while I'm doing everything else. I will be tiling the floors and partway up the walls in the...
