  That is like asking what is the best car. Depends on your budget, what room (kitchen, bath)
  among a myriad of other things. All things considered, I've used a lot of Delta faucets.

  The boss has requested a fan with a light since this one died and I think I need a few more CFM

  I have blown in insulation in my attic that was rated as R40. Anyway it's a foot deeper than

  during a toilet swap...

  Ripping it up requires busting out the mortar bed....beyond my skills and budget. I've seen
  experienced tile guys swear that tiling over tile is possible with good results.

  I have a very small (5 x 7) bathroom that has the old hexagonal ceramic tiles on the floor. The
