    pump for hot water heater

    OK, you've given me some places to start my research. My neighbor said what she had installed was a "pump", cost about 40 dollars and was simple enough that her son could install it (not sure what the implication was there.) I don't know if any of those things were completely accurate or just...

    Random sewer gas smell

    I had random sewer gas smell in a bathroom, but I think it came from an unused shower. When water would dry out in the traps we'd get sewer smell, then someone would use shower or I ran water in shower and it went away. Is it from an unsued sink or shower maybe?

    hot water heater pump

    It takes a long time for hot water to make it to my kitchen downstairs or my shower upstairs. My neighbor showed me a pump placed inline with water supply that she'd had installed. She had to plug it in with each use, but it reduced time and water flow waiting for hot water. I'd never heard of...

    Installing TOTO

    I had my Drake 2 installed today. My floors are really cattywampus and my TOTO needed lots of shimming. I think my plumbers did a nice job and I am happy I used a plumber. I will let you know how satisfied we are once we are up and running, but so far I am quite happy. To other poster, it...

    Getting rid of tree stumps, and make them stop growing

    In VA, at boyfriends mountain home, I've purchased Stump Killer (or something like that) at Lowes or HD. We applied it to the stumps then left them for about 4 months. Then came back and was able to kick, tug push pull out the skinny tree stumps, and there was no growth on the bigger ones...

    Installing TOTO

    I see a thread for installing Toto Drake II, a genuine plumber would have no issue or need of instructions, correct? It is intended for homeowners and do it yourself-ers? I am an excited owner of new Drake II which I was able to purchase in my area after a little research. NEXT showroom even...

    Which TOTO?

    Drake, Drake II, or Eco Drake? I was ok with Drake but wanted CEFIONTECT (worth it?) but the only ones on hand at plumbing supply with SG were the Drake II and the Eco Drake. I am weary of potty shopping and have been accused of being anal. Which, frankly, seems appropriate. get it? sorry. I...

    need help with finding particular size

    OK, I am not really a DIYer so the pick up and move the toilet and replace the seal doesn't appeal to me, but you have made it sound more attractive and do-able than I was thinking. I am going to pass on the Neptune, not many reviews about performance to suit me.

    need help with finding particular size

    it is worse actually. to install the washer it slide in front of the toilet and shimmies over. then the dryer slides hands. So if I need to repair my washing machine I have to move the dryer. I hope I don't have to repair either 1 for a long time. tent sale at upscale hardware plumbing supply...

    need help with finding particular size

    I need a new toilet that has a max distance of less than 17 inches from drain to front tip of toilet, in order to accommodate a dryer sliding past in front of it. I am thinking Toto Drake (16.5) for flush, Dalton for high profile comfort, Kohler San Raphael would fit...(16 5/8) from what I can...

    I need a toilet for a half bath+ laundry area. The washer and dryer have to slide in front of the toilet to be installed and there isn't enough space for the dryer to get through, I need 27 in at least. For this reason, I am looking beyond basic shopping toilets, I need small dimension but...
