Do you need to scre the threshold down or can use just a sealer under it? If you have to use masonry screws do you set the door and get it plumb and then drive the screws or do you have to pull the door out and try to set up some anchors under the threshold? The stupid company who made this door doesnt have any instructions on how to install the door with a concrete slab.

I am installing a 10 foot wide, 4 panel sliding glass door in a room. The floor is about an inch and a half out of level over that span. I understand that the door frame must be installed square for the door to operate properly, but installing it level/plumb would result in an optical problem as well as having a threshold the height of which varies over the span. Do you go with the floor grade or make the floor under the door level? Thanks.

But wonder if tankless would work with a pump to move the water though pipes in floor or should I used a regular water heater. I’am open to suggestions.

I just bought a new home, and during home inspection realized that there are no outlets where there should be. For example, why didn’t this house have outlets in the bathrooms???? (We asked the owner to install, they said NO) Anyway, I need to know about how much it would cost to have about 5-6 more outlets put into this home? When you put in more outlets, does that increase the amount of amps in the home?? This home has a 100-amp service…is that good for an average 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home?? Can anyone refer me to an excellant electrican in the Philadelphia area??

I have my own excavating business but have never put a pool in, I want to put one in for myself, how do I form the walls and do the plumbing (I can do plumbing I just don’t know where to put the jets and filters.)

I need help on where to intstall an air-admittance valve. I remodeled an old home and completely gutted the whole thing. I have installed new plumbing throughout and used the old stack location. There is only on bathroom and it includes a shower, a clawfoot tub, a pedestal sink and a toilet. The toilet is located exactly where the stack is. The rest of the fixtures do not have any vertical pipining that is vented to the stack. I know that I need an air-admittance valve, but I am not sure where to intsall it at. I have not hooked up the sink yet and the pipe will go right into the wall. is it possible to install the valve right after the trap, just before the pipe enters the wall? Also, if I use a valve capable of 160 DFU’s, will that be sufficient for the entire bathroom? I have the same question with the kitchen. The sink isn’t installed yet, but I have the drain opening coming through the drywall with no access behind. Can I install the valve under the sink in the cabinet

We are setting up home in a new apartment and as water supply in this city is irratic we have installed a buffer tank in the loft through which the entire house gets its water. Pressure is low as there is a very short head of the water coming out of the buffer tanks(Hardly 2 Ft. in four bathrooms and kitchen) and branching out to hot and cold water lines.. Am thinking of installing a booster pump. Would it cause any problems if the booster pump water passes through the storage water heater?

I want one of the new bath vanities that looks like a piece of furniture; how is the installation different from the old kind? Also, I have metal wall studs, will sheet metal screws work?
If the vanity is smaller in width, it leaves 1″ on the side next to a wall, that means it is open on that side and stays open? Or do I move the vanity over so it is flush with the side wall but the sink is not centered over the plumbing?
(I don’t want a bigger vanity in a small bathroom, the obvious choice being a replacement to fit the old one perfectly; an older style of built-in vanity would have pieces to cover any gaps between itself and the wall).

Space is not the issue–I just don’t know if I need to have additional plumbing installed or if it is something relatively easy I can do myself. Any one know? Thanks.

There was already rough plumbing in our basement ready for a shower stall and we already had the shower itself, etc. and parts. How long would it take a plumber to do the work? (Separate from the carpentry to have it look finished.) I’m trying to figure out what to pay a neighbor who did it for us during his free time while we weren’t there because he knows we can’t afford much and are just trying to sell the house, and he said to just pay what we think is fair and we have NO idea! HELP!
