Thank you!

From browsing the related posts I found that an extender flange might do the trick..

I'm finishing my basement. In the bathroom, the builder put in the floor flange flush with the cement floor. I believe it's glued to the pipe coming from below, because it wouldn't budge for me at...

I don't mind a little fun at my expense. :-) The lines that are tied together - your assumption is correct. Black to black, white to white, ground to ground, as though the wire was not cut.

I have a tub that has enough of my wife's hair in the drain that it doesn't drain fast enough during a shower, and it doesn't hold water during my kids bath.

My primary question is, how the heck...

Just a follow-up, I turned the lights off, did some work upstairs for a half hour or so and went back down. The switch and metal plate are normal temp. Not sure if this is useful information or not!...

Hi. I recently wired up can lights in my basement. Each light is a 75 watt halogen bulb. There are 6 of them on the switch.

I'm installing recessed lights in my basements finishing job, and I bought a bunch of cans at home depot. 12 to start with, but I'm sure I'll need more. My question is about the spacing for...

OK, I am clicking on back. I think I understood about the p-trap solution. That shouldn't be a problem.
