    Cutting swanstone

    You can cut it with a fine tooth or metal hold saw or jigsaw.(14tpi) I use a 4-1/2 inch hole saw on cultured marble for the valve. It works much in the same way. I have installed both and enjoyed working with the solid surface products.

    Ceiling Height for New Bathroom

    Regarding bathroom 2 Why not make the shower 3x3. I think it would make the slope less of an issue. You could use the space for a cabinet faced linen closet, water heater or something. MTC

    Bathtub requires leveling ?

    Moving a Shower Arm

    You can still use a nail or pick to get in behind it and roll it out with a pair of pliers. Just take your time and get a little piece started and get the needle nose wedged in behind it. Then it should kinda roll a strip off. You said it was thin wall so use it to your advantage. You can do...

    Scat, Depending on the model of tub you purchase, some come equipped with a removable skirt(panel). You can also get a cultured marble one and silicone it to the front of the tub if it is open. It is removable with a razor knife and a putty knife. I replaced a motor on a tub Friday and had the...

    Uneven installation of new tub

    It`ll hold water in the corner. Ya gotta take it back out and try again. Make sure you bed it in something if it is an acrylic tub. You might run a band around it to keep the edges straight. The installation is the most important part of getting the tub to prerform properly. I have installed...
