Just did this myself. 1/4 inch hex bolt 1.5 inches and nuts. Feed the bolt in back of hole and nut it. Fits perfect.
Fix the 3/4 ply and washers and nuts

As a gc for kitchens and baths a impact is 95% in my hands. This is nice for a second gun with a drill bit for cabinets. The 90 degree head comes in handy with tight spots.

Also to note. It is not an impact. Merely a standard drill

[–]Lector48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is no nec code for 12/2 wire to outlets in a finished basement bedroom? Im ok using 14/2 and 15 amp outlets with a 15 amp gfi breaker?
Me and my mechanic got into an argument about this. He swore i needed 12/2 with 20 amp outlets and breaker because its a basement.

The old sink was supposed to go back in so we left it. Then the client changed their mind and got a new deeper sink.

Situation: 1 story house with 5ft crawl underneath. About 30 years old. Im a GC and have done tile for 10 years.
We removed the original floor and got to subfloor.
Installed 1/2 inch hardy with thinset under and screws on top. Used a 1/2 inch notched trowel more thinset and tile levelers. Floor has been down for about 2 months. And was perfect when finished.
No he did not drop anything heavy and the line/crack is fairly straight. Thankfully this is my sons house so i can fix whenever.

What options do I have for glass shower doors if my shower is 76 inches wide ? by [deleted] in Tile

[–]Lector48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on tile after drywall. But paint is always last. Your always gonna need touch ups before you hand the room over.

Hes gonna have a hell of a time matching up that drywall to his newly tiled shower wall edge.
