    Bathtub Spout question

    Is this a Home Depot sort of thing or should I find a supplier?

    Bathtub Spout question

    I'm leaning that way as well. Thank you. Does length of the copper pipe comping out of the wall matter when it comes to the slip on set screw type? Does it matter when it's the screw-on type? Thanks!

    Bathtub Spout question

    Greetings, I have a Waltec bathtub spout with a hand shower. The had shower is useless and gets in the way. Do they make caps for the had shower spout that I can use to still be able to use the bath but not have a geiser if I accidentally pull up on the divider or do I have to buy a new spout...

    Here we pop again - Popping Floor

    Interesting! Thanks for the reply! When you say two directions, you mean to secure it to the floor sheeting (angled screw) and then the joist (straight screw through)? Something like this? Or perhaps you mean to have one straight on through to the joist and one straight on through the...

    Here we pop again - Popping Floor

    Greetings, I have a 2 story house that has had a popping floor all over the place. I am thinking of turning the basement into a suite but I can see that after a few months of the popping noise from above, the tenants will... well, they wont be happy. The subfloor is the simple plywood on the...
