    Replacing Outside Faucet - close to house

    The faucet is close to the house which has vinyl siding and there is a decorative piece behind the faucet. There is only about 1 inch from the soldered joint on the faucet to the decorative vinyl piece. It is for a neighbor and I was afraid to do it since the vinyl could melt. Any solutions...

    Hot Water in Sink

    When I turn on the hot water in the bathroom sink, it comes on normal, then about a second later I hear noise in the pipe, and the pressure immediately drops. The noise is like a "boom". I had some recent work done on my boiler and the plumber bled the system. It seems as though it has...

    Shower Door Installation

    I am putting in a new shower. It will be a kit with 3 walls and the pan. For the shower door, do I need to put two studs (one for each side)behind where it will go? If not, then will the fiberglass in the walls be secure enough to hold it? There was no stud with the old shower as the door...

    Cutting 2 inch and 3 inch copper pipe

    Is there a good tool out there to do the job? I would rather not use a hacksaw or a dremmel. The only tubing cutters I can find only go up to 1inch and I think an 1/8. The two inch copper pipe if for a shower so it must be right on. Thanks.

    Copper Pipe - 10 foot lengths??

    I am remodeling my bathroom. For the toilet, I removed the flange as well as the 3 inch long and 3 inch wide copper pipe that went into the flange. I thought it would be no big deal to pick up another 3 inch pipe. I'm told that they are only available in 10 foot lengths at a cost of $160...
