I'm not a plumber at all, so please excuse the novice question. I have a garden tub with a roman faucet (see image below). The left (hot water) faucet handle has a leak and I think the plastic cartridge part that the handle fits onto is what needs to be replaced. What is that part called? Can...

Those were some of the same ones I was looking at which have the 2-hole deck mount instead of the 3-hole deck mount. Thanks for taking a look to see what you could find! :) I'm guessing the style I'm looking for only has the 2-hole deck mount.

Hello, I'm looking at replacing my existing tub faucet which is a 5-hole deck mount. It has three holes on one side for the hot/cold handles and the water faucet. The other two holes are on the other side for the hand held sprayer. I'm looking to replace with a vintage black and white claw...

Thanks for the reply...do you mean replace the entire wire cable from the top all the way to the floor? Or, are you saying get a wire rope cut to fix just the bottom of the cable that connects to the brace at the bottom?

I have a drop shade in my back patio. There are two cables on each side of the shade that are attached all the way down to the patio concrete floor that hold the shade in place and keeps the shade steady during windy days and also helps it be the guide for raising and lowering the shade. The...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to look around for a new septic company. I have felt that I've been getting shafted.

Hello, I'm hoping someone can provide me some feedback on a residential septic system repair. I have a home that was built seven years ago. So, the house is not very old. I live in the Central Texas Hill Country area and I'm in the county outskirts of town where the neighborhood all has septic...

Thanks for the replies! My apologies, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to plumbing. I'm not sure if there is a bypass value on the softener. It would seem logical that there would be, but I'm not sure where it would be located on the softener or elsewhere? The strange thing that seems to...

I have recently started experiencing very low water pressure. I called the water company and they indicated that the issue may be caused by a water softener which I do have in my home. I have a tankless water heater and a water softener that I put in potassium chloride (salt rocks) for the...

Of course I'm okay with my installer doing the best he can. The contractor I use has done great work for me and I trust his work. That wasn't my original question. If you have some recommendations great.

Thanks for the reply. I'm committed at this point...financially and otherwise. The wife does like the style as well. Any thoughts/recommendations on the issues I describe in the original post?

I'm in the process of having a cedar live edge shelf put up in my game room. The shelf looks very nice so far, but there are few things I've noticed that doesn't quite give it a finished look and I was looking for recommendations on what would help give the shelf a finished look. I've attached...

Thanks for the suggestions! I like the power cube idea! That's kind of what I was looking for.

I have a floor outlet that was set into the concrete of the slab. It has two outlets within a plastic circular container about 5" in diameter that is level with the floor. I have this outlet under my sofa in the living room and I am trying to find a power strip for this and although there are a...

I've planning on putting a beveled glass top on a stone fireplace mantle. Since the stone is uneven, I was looking for a good way to make sure the glass sits on the mantle level and does not slide. I was looking at these clear bumpers on Amazon...
