Good Evening Moved into a 3-year-old house. Scraped away loose paint and mud. The area is not spongy or flaky. Mesh drywall tape may indicate prior repair. It's not moist and has no watermarks but will thoroughly dry the area anyway.b Thinking of applying 2 coats of primer then patching with...

It's not worth it, til it breaks down. Good advice probably go with the TOTO. Thank you!

Thanks Terry. There is about a $200 difference in price. Is it worth it?

Any reviews on the Cadet 3 1 Piece Compact Elongated toilet? I've read the slow close seat is questionable but the toilet in general is reliable.

Thanks Wayne I ended up running 14/3 Romex directly from the existing switched outlet to the new switched outlet. Connected the wires color for color, red being the switched plug on both outlets. Broke the tab. Again, thank you.

Bedroom has 5 outlets with 1 outlet that has a switched plug. I want to convert another outlet in the bedroom, that is a standard wired outlet, to a switch-controlled outlet. Plan: - Run a red wire from the already switched outlet to the proposed switched outlet plug. -Of course, break the...

SORRY, I'M AN IDIOT AND ENTERED THE SAME MESSAGE TWICE BUT WITH A DIFFERENT HEADING AND I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DELETE ONE OF THE OTHER. MY APOLOGIES. Good Evening Need some advice on under-cabinet LED strip lighting. I have 5 led individual strips totaling 14 feet, on 5 cabinets at...

Good Evening Need some advice on under-cabinet LED strip lighting. I have 5 led individual strips totaling 14 feet, on 5 cabinets at 3.5 watts per foot and 32 feet of low voltage wire for the complete run from the driver to the end of the furthest LED strip. Problem is, 32 feet at 3.5 watts per...

Hi All I want to connect a crawlspace dehumidifier PVC drain to the air handler condensation drain at or near the trap. The air handler is to the left of the photo about 10 feet away. Looking for a design that would be meet the code for NC. Also, is there a universal fitting setup, that can...

Good explanation and thank you. I did try to point out the two types of Fernco products that I was referring to. Take Care

Thanks again, went with the shielded coupler.

Ended up using a shielded coupler.

Yep, shielded coupler all the way.

Hi All Which glue is used to attach a PVC long 90 to a cut-off ABS pipe? I would rather use a Fernco coupler but I have read where Fernco couplers cannot be used in a wall or above ground. Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thank You Jeff

HI Can Fernco Couplers be used in walls and a crawlspace? I've read, which can be dangerous, that they are only approved for below groundwork, yet I have seen them used by bonafide professional plumbers in crawlspace and buried in a plumbing wall. I'm referring to two types: One has a shield...

No sir. Want to use a 2x2 trap for the shower and a 4x3 closet bend for the toilet. Looked at some diagrams for Charlotte pipe products, and it looks like a closet bend is about 4" tall and a shower trap is around 7". That would give me enough clearance in the joist bay, although, a little...

Thanks, Reach I neglected to indicate that the joists run parallel with the drain. A more important question is how much joist space is required for a shower drain? Thank you again.

Is 9 3/4" inches from the top of the subfloor to the cement slab underneath sufficient space for a closet bend? Thank You
