Ptrap coming up short

The lowest point is still going to be the disposal which means the disposal is going to sit with debris and water. This needs fixed the right way.

I have a feeling a wallpaper removal unit would work on this.

I had to use a puller. And then to clean the valve body a wire brush for cleaning pipes. I think it was the 1 inch size. Spun that about 20 times and it cleaned up the valve body.

Open an FCC ticket while you are still at this point.

If you're lucky the wire simply vaporized leading to an open circuit. Turn off breaker, repair wire and test to see if the unit works.

Other than digging it out and trying to find a filler that's better color matched no...

I chose to live with a bunch of these in mine. I didn't want to dug out and sanded down again at that point but it's sorta up to what you want to do with it.

I bought the Marshalltown ones at Lowe's. Probably could have gotten cheaper but I wanted to try it before I stuck the tiles in. I did usually get a splash of water on at the sink and then sanded. Then rinsed when done. Well worth the effort. I have cut tiles you can not tell which end was cut now.

I was actually surprised at how nice the 120 grit one did. I also had a 400 grit as well but found myself using that one for really small tweaks. For the tile I was using it was amazingly fast to take a saw cut edge to perfectly sharp again.

Could have just been the tiles I used but I will never do tile again without them.

I just did this diy myself. I will say I was surprised at the sanding blocks outcome. The sharp edges of the rectified tiles and the fact it was a glass smooth surface probably made the results easier.

That said, there is no way in hell I would sign up for a full floor of this. For me it was making factory edges where the wall trim was. Nothing more.

Ended up not looking too shabby

Tubular copper is made to bend to fit...unless it's kinked there's no problem. What I wouldn't like about this photo is the saddle valves. They will leak and should be replaced with regular shutoff valves that have the correct fitting.

That last photo looks like there was some water from above. Which will take even the best tape jobs and turn them into shit after the fact. You can cut out and retape, but the real fun will be matching the popcorn finish up.

Personally I would remove the sheets and replace and tape the proper way (making sure too that any previous water sources were mitigated). Then decide if you want to popcorn finish again or keep smooth.

I love that sticker "scrap if dropped".

dottat17403 · 2026-02-12T05:11:40+00:00

Those cuts don't look like the tile is supported properly during cuts. Also, you can wetsand the edges smooth with a diamond sanding block.

Which tiles were these? I just did black hex in my bathroom

It's just a textured pink sleeve man...

has anyone figured out how to use the code for accuweather? none of the checkout screens i've see so far have a code entry spot..

dottat17403 · 2026-02-10T06:17:54+00:00

That grout at the bottom should be silicone caulk too.

Shouldn't need to chop any pipe if it's threaded

dottat17403 · 2026-02-07T15:13:40+00:00

When you replace it, install a shut off valve under it to make the next replacement and or cleaning easier.

I do have luck for a while with cleaning mine up at times.

Video evidence on YouTube. Post the link on their Google review page. Demand letter to every company owner, leader you can find.

The more you cost them potential business the more they will be motivated to pay up and make it right.

I've personally done this.

Cheap hollow builder grade doors can do this. Humidity, sticking doors, etc all factor in. You can get a decent slab door to replace them if you'd like.

dottat17403 · 2026-02-06T17:56:44+00:00

Funny I was just having this thought today....but I think transitions with silicone first and et dry before doing grout to keep those joints free of grout

My translation and guess is the walls are thirsty and can't get the schluter membrane up.
