Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but search is only returning a blank page for me. So my guest bathroom toilet has a minor leak with a few drips every time it flushes. Its over a crawl so I have access underneath it. The subfloor on one side shows signs of moisture, etc. Nothing...

So my place is run with CPVC. Its in the crawl space in SE US and there is absolutely no insulation on any of the pipe. We have also noticed that it takes 5 or more minutes for the hot water to become hot when running the shower, etc. I'm having my crawl space sealed along with my new A/C...

I wanted to get your opinions of embedded the panel into the wall such that the front is flush with the drywall. My panel is in my attached garage and embedded into the wall cavity like this and sometime after the garage was built, the inside was finished with drywall, baseboard, and crown...

We're looking to remodel a fairly large closet (15'x6') on the second story to be a laundry room. The previous owner was going to make a dark room to develop photos out of this closet meaning a sink of some sort. They took the first step in this and ran 2" PVC up through the wall to a...
