Hello. I had a guy come in and do some plumbing work. Did a decent job and had a PEX expander and fittings to go from PEX to Copper. It looked great until we decided to move the sink cabinet a bit and now things don't line up. In any case, we're seniors on a tight budget so calling the guy back...

Hello! Our kids got us some RTA cabinets and since I'm a disabled senior and can't install them myself, I've called in some handyman and cabinet installer companies to give an estimate on installing them. 1/2 of these installers say the cabinets CAN be installed on the ceramic floor tile, and...

Hello all! I am looking for a source for the hinges used on the cover(lid) on our Blackstone grill 22" inch.

Hello. We have an old combo tub/shower spout that was leaking (along with a broken toilet flange) that I finally got around to working on. Anyway, I finally got the old spout off and from what I can tell there is a 3/4" inch elbow(?) inside the wall that feeds the pipe to the combo tub/shower...

Hello all. I've got a question for folks here who might know: What is the strongest leveling cement, or other compound such as epoxy mortar, that I can drill into to screw in bolts to hold a toilet flange? Had a leaky toilet and finally decided to see what's up. Found the toilet flange cracked...

Hello all! I have a quick question: We have a PRV valve in the front of our house that is showing signs of needing to be replaced (occasional water hammer, fluctuating water pressure). I know the problem can be further up the chain so to speak (the PEX manifold etc.) but since the PRV valve is...
