Hello! I have a 75-year-old house that was converted from hot water radiation to electric baseboards some twenty years ago (before I owned the place.) The move was done to take advantage of the extremely low electric rates (they're still low), but the hot water pipes weren't removed. I am now...

I'm re-doing a 4x5 1/2 bath in tile and radiant heat. (BTW, I've posted this question to the John Bridge forum, but I came here to look for more input.) Issue 1: The bathroom is on a crawl space and has a slight slope to it. From the entry to the opposite wall (5ft) there is a loss in height...

I recently installed a new dishwasher and, as per the suggestion of an appliance shop, I used taped pink...

I am installing an American Standard Americast Princeton tub. I have a two questions. 1. Is this a good tub? If not (I had a bad experience with a warped Americast kitchen sink), what is a better choice in the cheapskate range ($250)? (NOTE: I say "cheapskate," but this tub is the most...
