    Low floor toilet recommendations

    Check the water level on the tank; dip a mirror in there to see if something is lodged; pull the toilet to see if something is lodged from the bottom; check the vent for the toilet. Gravity is not your problem.

    Take a picture of the roof above that area.

    How do I replace a shower with a bigger better shower?

    Why couldn't you move the drain?

    Baffling light fixture problem

    So how did you fudge the voltage test that you claimed was good?

    Room doors in apartments, what are they made of?

    I don't know the name of the stuff, but whatever it is, replacing the door will be less expensive and easier. It'd be really cheap if you have time to wait for used.

If you're checking voltage on outlets for electric stoves, dryers, etc., you'll be checking for about 220V.

    It's time for new gutters, and I need some help

    My opinion is yes. You can sister 2x4's to the rafters or trusses and cantilever (extend beyond the wall) the 2x4 to the length you desire. Opening the space between the rafters, whether it be enclosed by a soffit or just a piece of lumber between them, is easy. The only limitation that I...

    Crack in new siding

    It's unreasonable, and he sounds like a hell of a guy for replacing the two.
