Having trouble with our 20 + year old (?) InSinkErator 333 garbage disposal. It was installed by a plumber/neighbor prior to our purchase of the house. It has worked fine for the 18 years that we have used it. The problem started with a jam. I was able to clean it out and losen the fly wheel...

plywood? What about plywood bead board? Perhaps more stable than the mdf(?) Again, I think I would back prime and seal any joints.

I was reading through the Jacuzzi installation instructions on-line prior to picking up the tub just to make sure a have all my bases covered and have no surprises. I don't know if installers in the real world actually read and follow these documents to a "T", but I came across the folowing...

Thanks Guys! The Jacuzzi Tub has 10 jets total. I can't recall right off hand how many the A.S. had (8, I think) It sure would be nice if there were actual working displays of these things! When we bought our outdoor hot tub many years ago, the dealer actually had about a half dozen different...

I know there were some related posts several months back, but I'm curious about both the professional's viewpoint and homeowners viewpoint. I'm looking at purchasing an "off the shelf" whirlpool bath that will fit into a standard 32"x60" space. Home Depot carries the American Standard "Lifetime...

Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I'm aware of the additional requirements. At this point the room is nearly gutted and I'm changing from a right hand tub to a left, so there's already miscellaneous plumbing mods involved. Because it's gutted, everything is accessible, and nearly anything possible...

I was planning to have my existing cast iron tub refinished as part of a bath remodel. Every place I called told me it would cost about 300 bucks. On place offered several different opions...the basic resin epoxy for $300 (3 year), an enamal finish for $375 (5 year) or a "custom fit" acrylic...

One advantage to having one of those "depot cheapo" toilets is that my kids (8 & 10 year olds) effectively know how to plunge a toilet. You'd think they'd learn to use less paper, but N0-00000 the plunger has just become part 2 of the flushing process. A toilet replcement coming soon, hopefully...

My daughter dropped an earring down the drain. We recovered it ok, but one thing led to another and now the room is gutted ready for a complete remodel. I've replaced all the 50+ year old cast iron waste pipe with ABS. My question is what is the preferred (I'm only going to do this once)...

Thanks guys. Not a hell of alot of information on the web about gas piping! I came across a utility company in Michigan with a link to another company that will sell "cut to order" lengths of polyethylene tubing complete with fused fittings at each end to allow homeowner's, farmers, etc to...

I am pouring a new concrete slab patio next month. I have a gas line stubbed out the side of the house for a future barbeque. I need to extend the piping for the barbeque under the slab to it's final location prior to the placing concrete. What is the best way to accomplish this? Some time ago...
