Thanks, that's helpful.

I just opened my meite MT7116LN pneumatic upholstery stapler all excited to get going with the 7m (25ft) 1/4inch hose I bought and I'm reading in the meite instructions that I can't use a hose longer than 5m (16ft) with it? Is that definitive? Can someone give me real world advice here? My...

On the world side, you mean, the side closest to the outside?

I don't have those brackets. It seems to be the one thing the previous owner didn't keep. It probably means they were thrown out. I was just gonna come in here to say I'm starting to give up. I have no idea what to do. I don't have enough cabinet anywhere because of these ridiculous streamlined...

The little black tabs really refuse to come out. It's a Frigidaire FPID2498SF. I also checked the installation instructions and they make no reference to them at all.

It scares me a bit because it feels loose, but I don't know if it's pull it out loose, or if it's the kind of loose where if you take it out you'll never get it back in again.

I think that's what the person who installed before we bought this place already tried. It's come loose. I think something more solid is necessary.

It's not got a screw head, it's just flat plastic. But here's a direct photo...

Tilting forward when the bottom rack is too heavy and pulled out.

Clearly whoever installed this thing just jammed it full of epoxy and called it a day. But it's tilting now, naturally. Is there any way to secure this better? The counter top is quartz. And that white bit below that is mdf or something like that. There doesn't seem to be enough room for a...

Are ceiling electrical boxes for light fixtures going to be the same whether they're in Canada or France? I essentially have some ceiling light fixtures I'd like to use in France that are from North America and I know the bulbs will need to be 220 and possibly need adapters for the socket but is...

I recently got a lovely swag lamp from someone (15lbs) that's meant to hang from a ceiling. I couldn't allow it to get discarded. But when I got it home I realised that it feels like something that's maybe too heavy to hang from our ceiling just from the drywall. It's meant to hang and be...

Best option for us I think.

Thank you all so much for your help and advice. Financially, and logistically, the only option open to us is to do a good job of caulking again more thoroughly and to install a thin splash guard on the outside of the glass (on the inside water could still get behind it and out). Thank you!

Ok, thanks. Unfortunately that's a project we just can't afford or have time to learn how to do right now. Luckily we have another bathroom with a shower, and this tub does do what it needs to do as a tub so I think we'll just have to pretend the shower isn't here on this one. For various...
