ok, thanks again, the link I had on this website is adhesive/grout, all in one, maybe its best I use the proper stuff? thought this would be an easier product to use as they advertise it as both adhesive and grout.

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I have a plan, I will try to find maybe a thin (1/4" or 3/8") piece of plywood - drill a hole or two in it and try to epoxy glue it around the hole. Then I will glue a piece of drywall to that as my backing then even things out with maybe some drywall...

So once the plywood backing is glued in place covering the hole, would I still try to cut a piece of drywall and screw it ontop of that? or do I use a thick layer of tile adhesive ontop of the plywood and put the new tile back? I still do have a small gap that is behind the drywall, as it is...

Thanks for the advice, I do have about a 1/2" gap behind the current drywall and where the 2x4 is... instead of using a first piece of drywall, would using some sort of plywood be better? maybe cut a 18x18 piece and screw that onto the 2x4 first? but I guess that still wouldn't solve my...

Well, what was suppose to be an easy broken tile replacement hasn't turned out NOT so easy. I tried to remove just one tile but unfortunately the whole piece of drywall behind it came out with it, the problem is the behind the drywall there is a 2x4 but it is on the far end of where the tile...

I was looking to see if I can get some advice from you electrical experts. I am wanting to redo my lighting wiring in my garage. My objective is as follows (I will attach some pics so people can see what I am talking about). I have two light switches in my garage, one controls the lights...

Thanks... if for some reason using Teflon tape doesn't solve it, should I just use plumbers glue on the threads and glue it completely shut? I am dreading have to take everything apart and put it back together with the normal ptrap!

Ok, after many excuses to delay this project, I decided yesterday just to go an do it. Well, a couple of things I had to do, I had to knock out the plug out of the garburator so I could connect the hose, which meant I had to take the garburator out, which actually was easier than I thought...

I agree, I have had good luck with Delta, when I had a leak in my bathroom faucet, i brought the parts into one of the bigger retailers and they actually gave me a free replacement. I was very happy about that.... of course the smaller plumbing shops were charging $100 bucks for the same item...

The sink is in an island in my kitchen, both appear to go downstairs. I am not really sure what #5 is yet! Where should the dishwasher line on Pipe 4 be hooked up to? should I be redoing that as well?

One other question, if i can reconfigure this, I would eliminate the angle coming out of the garburator, so it would be straight, and I would pipe that to the drain from #1 (going down), do i need the one joint that is above Joint #3? that is the joint with the spout pointing up.... Then from...

Thanks. I assume pipe #4 is the sewage line. I have no clue what pipe #5 is. i assume it's another sewage line, but nothing is visibly connected to this. The little spout that points up, which is the spout just to the right and up of #4 is where the water overflows from and drips down - how...

Hello all, I think i have a relatively easy question for you experts, I have not done any sort of plumbing like this before, so i wanted to get some advice from you guys who know what you are doing. My kitchen sink has gotten plugged a number of times, and to the point where under the sink...

Hi, I was searching the forums trying to see what i need to do do change over my humidifier. I can't seem to find the answer so i thought I'd make this post. I have a high efficiency furnace, i had one of those old drum humidifiers that did nothing but leak on me. So i disconnected it a...

Hello to all, Just wanted to see if I can get some helpful advice from someone who knows about furnaces before I called someone in to fix it, maybe my problem isn't too bad and I can fix it myself! My furnace seems to be having some problems, here is a brief description of what his...
