Thanks. Yes I'm trying to fig out what what kind of feet/supports to put under them. I'd like to only add the minimum height increase possible (because it's a "corner" living room ht setup and wan't to make sure the view from seats on each side (wall) have an unobstructed view.) I normally...

Thanks for the tips :beer:. Yep, I ended up cutting down a couple scrap pieces of wood and making a sanding block similar to how you described and used 60 grit, then finer, etc etc. I did the same thing to shorten the back slats about 5/8" (after using a hacksaw first on those). They sit...

I ordered the circular saw :D . I have some safety glasses and decent clamps. I'll probably get impatient (w/ the shipping) and take a hack at it with the dremel sander and sanding block. it's a $4 piece of wood from local big box store :p

Hey guys, So the short version is I would like to flatten the 5/16" beveled edge (could take off up to 3/8") to line up one side of this 9" x 12" (x 5/8") wooden plaque w/ a (wood) crate that I've removed the top from. (and attach together) Right now, I do not have any power saws or sanders...

Yes, I looked at the Klein fish tapes at my local HD. Unfortunately, the most affordable one (~$20) was poorly reviewed (on hd & other websites) b/c it was not super flexible (plain steel variety) did not extend/retract nicely. I confirmed this somewhat by messing around with it at my local hd...

hey guys. I've been workin' on other stuff, and it took quite a while to get the epoxy paint delivered. I decided to order the rustoleum tub and tile. I ordered the 12 oz spray can (aerosol)(delays plus can only be shipped 'ground'), based on a chat with paint dept guy at hd about getting a...

I did not try surgical tubing. I did try clear plastic/vinyl poly tubing and automotive vacuum tubing. the poly tubing (think was cheap ice maker line tubing) came rolled up in a spool (like a hose) and would not flatten out enough to get down to the bend in the p trap. The vacuum tube was too...

For the price I paid for it ($20 including overnight shipping), I give it 4/5 stars). The Good: It functioned very well with my (android) phone. Has a light dimmer on it near the plug (you can adj. the light with the camera 10 ft down a pipe/duct etc). You can get pretty good pics/videos when...

I've achieved a significant (~75%) improvement in how fast the shower drains. :trophy: I used the "Works" Toilet cleaner method (twice) and unfortunately all it did was clean out everything except for the stuck tile grout (it did give me clearer video of the obstruction): 24 second clip (after...

Appreciate all the advice. Just for closure: I found my way to a local specialty hardware store and she (the manager) was able to match the top sash guides (cams), and plastic shoes for the block & tackles from my old broken/brittle ones. With the certainty now that they were all compatible and...

It was. and I know they moved the location of the drain. (Here is the old bathtub, if you can see...notice the diff. drain locations) But I was told (indirectly) that they didn't test the plumbing 'below'/beyond where they started/connected at.

Ok thanks, cool. This is the short (24 sec) clip: https://youtu.be/jqTlxWO0fjc Longer (1:25) clip is here: (by 0:13 you can already see blockage) https://youtu.be/DS35wrB92OQ The camera shoots in 480p, but the vid. quality is still below average . If there is blockage there (just ~18" down...

Update: think I got to the root of the problem. To answer about the house (as best I can): It's a 1 story house and one side (851 sq ft.), including this bath, is a garage coversion so that side of the house is 1 step down from the rest. I wanna show these (2) pics in case it helps in Any way...

Yep, sorry I didn't specify. 1950's block house with newly remodeled (gutted) master bath. was a tub, now a tile shower. The 2" pvc most likely connects to old 1.5" galvanized "Somewhere." All other drains in house are Ok (including sink & toilet in this room).

Thanks for all the advice so far guys! So, I need to get a look at whats going on (just to the p-trap outlet) in my tile shower stall. New house/new shower. Looks awesome, drains slow :mad: (quick shower = standing water) Basic (~5) remedies to no avail. :eek: Enter Plumber... Snake (motor...
