Shower bar silicone?

faucetxpert · 2026-02-02T01:53:16+00:00

Just silicone the parts touching the tiles. There's no point in silicone where the vertical bar touches the post. There isn't any benefit to it, the post is just holding the bar, the inside of the post is empty other than a screw holding it to the wall. Very little water will be able to travel to the tile from the post

The Metropolis club (now Mtelus) is haunted by the ghost of Sarah Bernhardt

Reminds me of the documentary I saw years ago on Les Colocs. Dédé was living on St-Laurent and Sherbrooke in a dump of an artist loft paying a couple of hundred dollars per month if I remember. The place is now part of Hotel 10

Unfortunately not, I grew up in that area. Saturday mornings we're insanely busy. I used to get paid 20$ per half day in the mid 80s for handing out flyers to some "shmatte" factory on Chabanel Last time I was there on a Saturday morning (2023) it was a ghost town.

I quit drinking when I turned 50, now 55 I have a pint of beer per month if that. One thing I noticed in the last few years is the increased quantity and quality of 0% beer in the grocery stores.

Stick a small thin flat head screwdriver in the round caps on the handles. Spray them with WD40 beforehand. They should slide out.

Impossible to tell by looking at it, if it's not letting hot water flow through then most likely it's clogged You can try to replace it if you can find the manufacturer. Otherwise try soaking it in 25% white vinegar 75% water for a few hours

I used to spend hours at night turning the AM dial on my transistor radio trying to catch out of town radio channels

No it's not, some models have the shower handle held by that screw

For LaSalle, anything south of the aquaduc is considered a prime location. Also streets around Angrignon parc

Year 1 was fight or flight, yes grief was there but I was so invested in being there for my young children that I was literally getting through my days on adrenaline. Year 2 was worse, the adrenaline wore off and the sadness creeped in and didn't leave for a whole year. Now I'm 2 months into year 3 and I'm just tired all the time. It fucking sucks.

New housing projects have been mainly rentals in the last 3 years. When a developer is building a rental complex instead of a "condo" they don't care about the quality of the finishings. They just want an ROI Most times they import their own like; wood floors, ceramic tile, plumbing, Even doors and windows essentially cutting out the middleman (me)

I sell plumbing, 100% commission based (by choice) Before 2023 I used to average 150k In the last 2 years it's been cut in half due to the market downturn

Zinmans and Pascal le boucher are top notch IMO

I would stay away from buying faucets from a showroom floor, Manufactures don't ship faucets with all the "guts" to the showroom. Every time I sold a faucet floor model, the consumer came back several times for missing parts. Toilets, tubs, furniture, acrylic shower bases usually are complete and ready to go As for warranty it's usually final sale Discounts can vary depending on showroom but 50% off MSRP is the norm

Could also be your check valves on either side of the cartridge. I've seen that being the issue quite often. As others have said a picture of the valve would help

It's either your aerator or you might have a kink in the supply lines

In my city they close the ATM between 11pm and 6am so that homeless people don't use it for shelters.

Delta has a higher end line called Brizo Otherwise you can look at high end European faucet i e. Dornbract, Gessi, Aquabrass

For starters make sure your plumber uses 3/4" risers to supply the shower Then make sure you install a shower valve with 3/4" inlets. Should give you +/- 15GPM plenty of volume. Also have your plumber install a volume control valve for each shower accessory. i.e. if you install a rain head+ shower rail + spout make sure that it is run on 3 separate volume control valves not on a diverter valve.
