• Posted in thread: How do I fill in a Koi Pond? on 05-16-2013 at 12:53 PM
  This Koi pond sans Koi is now home to way too many frogs, lizards, snakes, etc and is just too
  high maintenance. It's solid rock with a water feature inbedded in concrete and has a black
  lining to hol...

  Great, thanks! Got some at local HD for about $4; I'll start over and give it a shot with these
  & a new wax ring.FWIW:After further review, (I'm not sure if this is an issue or not so forgive
  me, if i...

  You can use an extended wax ring that will allow the water to bypass the flange just enough. I
  typically use them as insurance against future leaks...:DI took a wire brush to the flange
  especially aro...

  Thanks, I think the crack you speaking of is actually a shadow in front. The part I called the

  said, woul...

  This is a first bathroom on a concrete slab to which I narrowed down a toilet leak from under

  removed th...

  Thanks, I had the chimney inspected & cleaned by a local chimney sweep with no other issues
  brought to my attention. He actually thinks the damper may be able to be closed, if I'm patient
  and really w...

  I'd also like to re-stucco the chimney to a more smooth finish rather than the brick look. That
  said, which should be done first...? A) Adding a short section of tile flue and concrete crown.
  B) Re-st...

  Thanks! So, as for Vee-ing them out with an angle grinder... Going back to the roof deck and
  the large oval shaped crack; the 4000 psi pressure washer removed as much of unsound, loose or
  dirty materi...

  Plan on a custom copper cap assembly costing several thousand dollars. And if it's too big and
  complex, each time the flue needs cleaning will cost you another $300 in labor to
  remove/replace the thin...
