The plumber installed my new 2 piece shower. Only problem, the base and the walls are not anywhere near flush, which will be a huge problem for the shower surround. So, I'd like the remove the base from the wall unit, but it's silicone caulked at the bottom (like it should be). So what...

My house has an entry door that either needs a ton of weatherstriping, or replacement. I sorta like the door - it's old, solid wood, and about 1 3/4 thick. It has a big single pane window in it, about 2ft by 3ft. I also have a storm door mounted on that opening, and there is about 2 ft...

I'm about to pull out my hair. The other year I installed a shower surround and base. Naturally I had to caulk all of the panels once it was all on the walls and such. I have been having trouble getting the caulk to last more than a few months where the walls meet the base of the shower...

I have an old farmhouse, and I'd like to remove a section of wall. The wall is made of stone - I have no idea of the quality of the stone, I just know it's about 2 ft thick. Years ago a small addition was added to the house, and that addition was made into a kitchen, and it joined the rest of...

I installed a shower a few months back, and it had panels that glue onto the walls, and then all the seams got a caulk - I used a kitchen and bath. That caulk failed a few weeks back - I had water all over. So I removed all of it, and waited a week and put in new kitchen and bath adhesive...

I had an old tub/shower and the walls were tiled, with plastic tiles. There was one outside corner, and it had a special tile that went around that corner, and overlapped the other tiles by one inch (each side was one inch, and then a 90*) The tiles were getting loose, the grout was extremley...

I was at home depot, and I saw something they have called allure. It's a 12by 36 inch piece. When pieces are put in place, they bond to each other, but do NOT bond to the floor. Once down they can be moved within a couple minutes, but after that..... forget it. To secrue it around the...

We have a washing machine right next to a sink, several feet in the drain line away. The problem is that when the washer dumps the water, it comes into the sink line. Same thing from the kitchen sink on the next floor up. Everything has the same drain line, it just just t's to go to wherever...

I cut the hole in my counter top, and I placed the sink in the hole, and it sits high on the one side. I looked for something that is holding it up, and found nothing. Heck the part that is 'up' isn't even against the counter top. I'd guess that I have about 1/4 inch gap between the bottom of...

My house was built in the '50s. The orignal owner died and I bought it from relatives. My problem is this - the upstairs bathroom needs a complete overhaul, so I want to build one in the basement - it already has the toilet and the hot/cold water and drains. The real problem is the walls -...
