I resolved this by finding a lower profile elbow

What can I do to fix this issue? I actually need the opening to come out another 20mm but the elbow section of this connector to be pushed back into the stud.

Hi, I'm installing a shower in my basement that has an unlevel concrete floor. How do I best do it, and how do manage this huge gap that will be there on the drain side left? Do I need to rip out all the LVP and then self-level low sections of the whole bathroom? Also can I use plain...

I'm am not fully sure about that one .. need to look into it

Thanks for the post. The basement window frame would be poured concrete as it's in the foundation of the home. Seems like I'll need to get a longer lintel then, was hoping to avoid that

Canada, and yes it's a timber frame house from 1958

Hi, I need to replace these 2 basement windows I want to get rid of these alu windows and put new triple glazed pvc as wide as the upper windows. Likely an additional 24 inches in width overall, same height. Can I do this without structural work? The floor joists run perpendicular to...

Thanks. Got some more pics if it's any help. Was told water seeped through during a wet year

First time buyer here went to see a house that needs a lot of renovation. There seems to be a crack coming from water damage in the basement corner and theres also a crack upstairs. I will be getting a survey done, but beforehand can anyone tell me if this is serious and how much I'd be looking...

I found the problem. GFI breaker on plug next to the light switch! Just reset and it's a go.

I'm installing a bathroom vanity light above a mirror in a remodelled basement suite. I got it working, but now I get nothing, possibly after fiddling with the base plate and screwing extra screws into drywall plugs. . There isn't a fuse tripped, the basement light fuse is working OK and ON...

Quick update, I used a product called Desolvit contractors solvent. Its an orange coloured spray. Works really well, softened the silicone and made going over it with a Stanley blade much easier. It didn't dissolve the whole bead, just a thin layer enough to scrub off excess. No damage to the...

I feel a right mug. I've caulked the tile/baseboard, but due to the relief of the tile and the fact that I didn't tape it beforehand, its dried out a mess. Instead of hours going over it with a Stanley blade, are there any quicker and more effective methods? I was thinking of scoring it then...

Here's Here are some pics. It's pressed steel I think, longest they sell it here is 72 inches, meaning I had to buy 4 and cut them (3 sliding doors). I tried to put some electrical tape on there and it didn't make too much difference! Thanks for the help

Does anyone have any techniques for joining two cupboard sliding door tracks together? My opening is longer than the max length of one track so I'll have to just line them up, but there will be a bump where the roller moves over from one track to the other. Tracks are pressed sheet metal...

I used a pressure washer and removed all the black sealant on the pipe just outside the trap. Then I pushed it up the drain as far as I could, lots of fat deposits and stuff clinging to the pipes came off. I am going to buy a sewer hose attachment for the pressure washer and run it all the way...

I am pretty sure it is clear, since I used this hole to push all the bunged up water through this morning, but I will check. I am thinking of shoving my 2kw pressure washer nozzle into the blocked trap and hoping for the best.

I've just had a thought, I think the waste is getting pushed along the horizontal pipe under the house bit by bit. It's not all flowing to the trap after each flush. Perhaps if I adjusted the cistern I could force the cistern to empty entirely to encourage flow

Thanks I will do this. Unfortunately the trap is blocked again. There is definitely no rock, crud or render there, I just scraped out what seemed to mainly be human waste. I do not know what to do now, aside from somehow removing it and replacing it with a straight pipe. But this seems like...
