Hey thanks! Do you mean I should just install the carpet on the subfloor then? I know I wasn't clear in my question but I already have 3/4" T&G subfloor installed over the joists. I need to know...

Thanks for the input Scott and Chuck. I've been doing more research and I think there really is no clear cut answer. It all boils down to how much risk you are willing to accept. It is becoming...

Thanks Chuck... Yes I do understand, and believe me, I didn't ask the question with the intent of formulating an argument against my insurance company. On the contrary, I want to be sure that I am...

I wonder if someone could explain what constitutes “business use” of your automobile for insurance purposes. If a person is self employed and drives his or her car to work every day (like everyone...

I remember back in the 70s and 80s, 5/8" particle board was the underlayment of choice for carpeted areas in new construction. Does anyone know if this is still the best choice over a 3/4" T&G...

No... it is definitely an "above the counter" self rimming SS sink. All of the sinks I've looked at are the same depth (22 inches). It really uses up most of the counter.

Hi folks... We just put in new kitchen cabinets and are getting ready to install a stainless steel sink in the new counter top. The cabinets are standard 24" deep. We grabbed a Kohler single...

Thanks for the reply tk...

Yes, they are Lithonia fixtures. I don't have the boxes anymore but inside the lamp cover the sticker says "Lithonia 987213 model LB4 32 120 1/4 GESB" The Ballast says...

We recently added new office space in the basement of our home. I bought three fluorescent fixtures 48" with 4 T-8 32 watt bulbs in each one. These were Home Depot's "Best" quality with electronic...

Great! Sounds like a plan then. Thanks for your help!

Check to make sure the rubber washer is not missing.

Thanks... there are a couple of alternatives to run the water lines. One involves opening up a 1st floor wall which rests over a stone foundation in the basement, and the other involves coming up...

Hi Tom!

Yes... The 25 foot run will go through the unheated attic, and the unheated attic is above our kitchen area (which of course is heated). The 12" chase is on an outside wall.

Unfortunately, this is pretty typical for inkjet printers. It often costs more for the cartridges than it does for the printer itself. I learned years ago before buying a printer (or copier or Fax...

I am adding a 1/2 bath to the upstairs of our 170 year old cape and am considering the best route to run my PEX supply lines. Because there have been several additions and alterations to the house...

Thanks Skiberger!!

I am planning to build a 24 X 26, gable entry, 2 car (double door) garage with a 12/12 roof pitch so I can use the loft area for a studio. My idea was to run a 26 foot girder down the center to...

Thanks... My intention however was not to avoid paying SE taxes entirely, but rather to pay a reasonable salary and distribute the rest of the profits as dividends. For example, as a sole...

President Bush had proposed changes to the tax law to ensure that taxes on dividends are not paid twice. Does anyone know if this was ever passed? I've checked everywhere and all I can find are...

My wife has an established service business which we have been operating as a "Sole Proprietorship" for several years. For both liability and tax reasons, I feel the time has come to either...

Thanks Tom, Any idea what that interprets to (in terms of slope per foot)?

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm not sure where I read it but somewhere I remember instructions to maintain between 1/8" and 1/4" per foot. A plumber once told me to have "Half a bubble" on the...

I've heard 1/4" per foot and I've also heard 1/8" per foot is acceptable for waste lines. What is the ideal slope? Does it depend on pipe size or fixture type? (i.e. toilet vs sink)

Thanks!

Thank you soooo much! Very well explained... I can see it cear as a picture now!

Thank you Tom very much for the information! Yes, there will be a lavatory and a toilet. So let me make sure I understand. I will vent the lavatory into the attic connecting to the 4" stack, and...

I want to install a toilet on the second floor of our house. We have a very small room upstairs in the center of the house which is ideal for an upstairs 1/2 bath. The main 4" vent is on the gable...
