I'm writing this as a public service announcement to educate others how dangerous Ibruprofen or other types of anti-inflammatories are. This is a very recent experience of mine and I'm sharing this to help others because I know that many use ibruprofen for over the counter pain relief...

Take pictures/video of your situation. The info given isn't enough.

If you want any type of longevity in that repair, Use Acryl60, one of the strongest bonding agents found in concrete repair. Also, you need to get some type of long lasting expansion joint in and around where your patch is or it'll just happen again. Buy a few bags of that fast...

I'm in Independence Kentucky. I'm actually working off of Buttermilk Pike thursday. I worked in new construction for Geiler for a brief time, then tried to get into their commercial service division with no luck. That was over 12 years ago, decided I'm better off doing for myself. :clap...

Clorox, Bleach.

Definitely stay away from the 'answer in a can' product at home depot. That is around $40 and it's rental property grade product. You cannot expect much from that design. The 'majority' of applications I've seen using this product have been for more established property owners, in which...

If you're wanting to put a new cast iron tub in, removal is difficult. An old padded blanket, sledgehammer will break up the old one into pieces, send it to the scrap yard for $$. I wouldn't suggest removing it as one piece.... too much a risk of a back injury. Getting the new one in is...

You'll expose the drain piping for this setup when you remove the tile/subfloor. Adjustment of the drain system should be manageable.

If that's a setup for a washing machine, that pump on the unit will fail with that much vertical lift involved.

I didn't believe the guy who told me of the trick, but we had a rental property that had this recurring problem, and quickly this throws them off, not knowing the thread is in the peanut butter spread. It hangs up in their teeth and then it's too late. Northern Kentucky...

If they are properly insulated, it passes code. We are experiencing a bone chilling cold here in the past couple weeks and insulation only slows down the transfer of temperature, not prevent it. Partially clogged drains in exterior walls can freeze up as well. My advice is to leave...

In Kentucky on 3" I believe you can go as far as 5' from toilet to vent. I'd have to get my plumber's bible out to confirm that but I'm pretty sure that's the maxium. Depending on where you are located dictates the distance on a toilet. Northern Kentucky Plumbers

No such thing. You'll have to buy a male adaptor to sweat onto the piping in order for a threaded connection to work. Northern Kentucky Plumbers

If you want to remove mice from your home, here's the cheapest way: Buy the simplest of traps, the spring loaded ones Buy squeeze cheese or peanut butter Any type of thread, any color, just as long as it is thin. Where you would normally put the chunks of cheese, wrap that...

Some applications call for laminate before wood. The office which I work out of, the floor is a laminate floor. I've worn the fake wood finish off completely where the chair constantly moves around. To repair, or cosmetically make this look better, I would consider peel and stick tiles in the...
