Home Improvement

Has anyone installed one? I'm talking about the electric mats. Since I have to redo the floor in my bath, I'm considering adding one due to the distance from any major heat source. Yes, my house has gravity heat - ie, wall furnaces. No ducts. It also has concrete slab, so I'm worried about the slab sucking the heat out..

How does one "tap" an existing duct? This is the current setup and I need to tap the duct on top (green arrow) and put a register at the bottom (green box) to the next room.

you know that switch on the faucet in the shower you pull to switch it from the tub fill to the shower? It is bad or harmful to always leave it in the shower position ?

Well recently we wanted to make our entry way seem more open. So the girlfriends uncle came down from Maine to help me with this project. Check it out! Before Pictures: Now the fun begins Down comes the wall! When we removed the stairs, the cat was jumping all over the place and went on the stairs, which was secured to nothing! Pretty funny. \ We had to build a custom platforum to raise the stairs and get everything level. We bought plywood that we didnt need. We reused the one from the old platforom. All I have to do was take out all the old nails. So here I am in action. Heres the platforum level! Heres the sheet rock up! and the door in. Notice the cute little kitty door...

Let me get this off my chest: Silicon is not an adhesive, it's a caulk. It will not hold anything to the wall.

I have been working on a bunch of different projects around here and occasionally I have a few questions. I figured it would be easier to ask our knowledgable group here rather than joining another site. :D :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Home Improvement Forum!! This is where all you Tim Allen wannabee's can ask questions and give advice on home improvment. This forum follows all of the guidelines in the forum rules section. In addition to the site rules: 1- Please use the Search function before you ask a question, if you still can't find the answer you needed then post away. This will help keep down on the clutter and make my job easier. 2- When you have a question, please be as specific as possible. Questions like "how do I fix my plumbing?" are a little tough to answer. A more appropriate question would be "how do I stop the slow leak around the base of my toilet?" 3- If you ask for an opinion, be prepared to hear things you might not like...
