Thank you so much. The plumber will come Monday and see what is going on. Hopefully nothing serious.

The other time when we got the water on the floor, we did pour some hot water and it was at first a bit slow, then it was draining faster. This time we did not do any of that. I believe it is iron pipe. I think the cobra rubber may be the way to go. But at this point I am not sure if we can do...

This is a very educational reply. Thank you so much. The house was built in the 60s. I cannot tell for sure what the drain is connected to but it is in the basement and below grade. We do have a sump pump and it is not far from the drain. We do nto hear gurgling; all we got was water couple of...

Hello Everyone, We have a drain in our basement that has "regurgitate" couple times now. We do nto know what caused it and rain is noe to be blame as we have not had rain for several days. The water that comes up has some sort of dirt, but it is not sewage. We called the city and they inspected...

The water came in from a small window. The basement is dry otherwise. The concrete is in good shape, but it is an older home. We just do not want to put flooring at all, hence the idea of epoxy.

Hi everyone, My basement got some water after the recent storms in our area. We had vinyl planks flooring and had to pull all of it out, damaging most of it in the process. We are certainly not looking into putting flooring down again, and we are considering epoxy flooring. I want to ask here...

I like that method. We just got some rain so I am heading out to give it a try. Since we have several beds, we may resort to a machine so we can do a better up keeping. Thank you much

Thank you. So, how do you maintain around that? Are you able to use an edger to make sure teh grass do not grow over the edging?

Hello, Our lawn beds are in desperate need of edging and new mulch. We have already gotten new mulch, but before we can put it down we need to do some serious clean up on the beds. I want to rent/purchase an edger that will clean both the inside and the outside of the beds, but we do have black...

Another thought. Is it possible to install the under sink directly to the pipe that provides water to the kitchen and thus having the water out of the faucet and also water tot eh fridge be filtered at once?

Thank you Billshack. So, the filter under your sink is a 2 part or is 2 filters? Does it filter hot water as well? WE do have a water softner but the initial thought was to eliminate if we decided to go with a whole house filtration.

Tahnk you Bob, this is really helpful. We have city water but we need to address the drinking water of the house. The plumber did advise us against the whole house for the same reason and also other reasons. I have another question, are there filters (such under the sink) that will also filter...

Greetings, We are considering installing a whole house filtration with a water softner and uv. We spoke to a plumber and his view were not exactly cheerful, so I figure I would ask here what people know about it and if anyone here has such a device. We looked couple brands and as usual there...

We love it how it turned out. I may just need to make a little door. We gained a lot of space just by removing the fish tank, but with the steps and new shelving, we have a whole new pantry. Thanks everyone for the help

Here is the finished steps. It worked out really well. We finished the project this weekend, added the counter to the cabinet and filled the pantry back up. Thank you for the help.

Thank you. I think we were able to work something out, and will be cutting it out today. I am happy to have found help here. This is awesome.

Thank you. I think we are arriving at something. I do not believe we can add the shelving at the far left side, as the riser is not 15" from the wall. The drawers going on the flat floor are 15" in depth.

Would that mean that the tread would not be 10"? Can it be detrimental or dangerous in any way?

We believe we can do it, so hopefully we will find a solution. I thought that perhaps we can make teh stringer out of 2x4. Just not as a continuous item. Thoughts?

The pre-existing box had the paraphernalia for a fish tank and took most of the space. I got tired of it all, after 10 years and it is now gone. Correct, it is not a stairway, just steps to reach the top of the shelves, and the top of the other box. I think i will look for a carpenter and may...
