Hi. I just moved in to a condo that was renovated about 2 years ago. All of my other faucets (sinks and baths) are either Ikea or Delta, but this one has no manufacturer's name, marks, or numbers. My issue is that I can't get the water hot enough. Before I try to disassemble the faucet to...

Guys - I had a plumber come and look at two issues in two different bathrooms. The guy didn't know what he was doing, and I was helped on this forum with the bathtub faucet issue, which didn't need the $230 spout replacement the guy quoted me. Instead, I was able to fix it myself with with...

I need to spiff up our 1950's brick home enough so that potential buyers aren't scared away. Two of the three baths have had gut remodels, but the tiny master hasn't had much done to it. It has a small tiled shower with 4x4 wall tile, and the shower floor has 3/4 square tile that has been...

We're replacing a vanity sink with a pedestal sink. The existing supply lines look like they can stay where they are, but the existing drain line from the vanity runs straight down through the floor and makes a 90 degree turn between the floor joists. The pedestal sink instructions show a wall...

My simple "retile the powder room" project has turned into something a lot bigger than I first imagined. It turns out that I'm going to have to replace the subfloor, so while I'm at it I'd like to look at the possibility of replacing the lead drain pipe that runs from the large CI pipe to the...
