Thanks, HJ, you confirmed what I was remembering. So I guess, in spite of what I thought, all of the 110v timers have bad clock motors. Well, I don't suppose a clock motor is too expensive. I've got a 220v outlet in the shop I can test the others with, so I guess I'll do that and see where I...

It's been a long time since I had anything to do with a mechanical timer, so my memory is sketchy on them. I'm talking the kind of timer that has a 24 hr dial that you place small 'dogs' on that trip the mechanical part of the switch turning the pump off and on. You wire a supply voltage to it...

Hi Jimbo, FRP is great, (I think that's what the panels HD & Loes switched to are, as well), when the majority of the application is full or nearly full panels with a minimum of cutting, but personally I don't like itching from the fiberglass. The panels I'm talking about cut very nicely with...

I need some help identifying an item that is sold for tub/shower surround. It's not a surround kit, just sheet goods. I used the stuff to cover and waterproof the walls on an indoor greenhouse I built for someone and need more for another phase of the project. I went over to Home Depot today...

I understood that the flange should be on top of the finished floor. I ttired to explain that when I installed teh flange and toilet originally, I was thinking it needing to mount on the subfloor so it ended up just a bit below the finished floor surface. I couldn't get it that low, so settled...

The ring was crushed. It was a perfect reverse of the bottom of the stool. You could easily look at it and tell. But, isn't the fact it I could lift the toilet off of the wax ring and the wax wasn't stuck to the bottom of the toilet an indication it was leaking between the wax and the...

a-hah The wax looks a little milky but not distorted, maybe didn't stick to the toilet surface? mine was looking a bit whitish, but no black, but then it hadn't been long. So it seems the wax ring lost it's adhesion to the porcelain on the bottom of my te'rlet and started leaking. Thanks

Jim, I can confidently rule out the leak sources you suggest: One piece toilet and good supply fits. Due to the 'huge' boulder under the floor, the bathroom's always a 'bit cold', so not much condensation. Defective toilet a possibility, but I feel like I would be grasping at straws to decide...

hj, probably the fumes... 1. hmm.. quite possible I'm wrong, but I thought that, ideally, the flange was supposed to sit on the sub floor with the underlayment 'next' to it. (I should put all of this in perspective. I have 'retired' early due to a disability and haven't put a toolbelt on for...

story of a CLEAR indication of excessive water pressure. I have 88 psi with very little drop off and haven't had any problems. Out water supply is on a fairly big ridge/hill to the north of town so everybody has pressure regulators just this side of the meter. I love the water pressure, with...

Hi All, I'm stumped thought maybe somebody might have some suggestions. Been contracting, making boards shorter piles of scrap higher since Christ was a corporal, but my own damn toilet's making my head explode. Here 'tis. Got an Am Std one piece, low vol toilet. Remodel bathroom in '98...
