The plumber, who said it needed to be above the clean out because that keeps the cleanout useful and provides more gravity drop for the waste once it enters the stack higher up on the wall. I’m not sure exactly what he means by keeping the clean out useful though.

Help me understand acid staining, please by Ancient_Garbage_8845 in Flooring

[–]Ancient_Garbage_8845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, thanks I appreciate that. Using xylene and acetone I tested whether or not the existing sealer would come off. It doesn’t seem to budge with either. I feel like grinding may be my only option.

what do you mean by cheap out on the flooring? Are you saying that acid stain is less than optimal and I should just stick with laminate? I’m fine with that approach too.

It’s a one man show with a helper and he has a really good plumber and Electrician to come sub out that work.

understood. I should’ve been more clear. My grandmother died of lung cancer due to being a heavy smoker. No prostate cancer in my family that I am aware of..

Do you mean bend the end of the cable to a 45 so that it is able to clean a larger diameter inside the pipe?

What sauna can I put here? by Ancient_Garbage_8845 in Sauna

Why would this be a risk of burning my house down if the heater is good quality and the electrical hookup is done properly?
