The New Toilet Saga

Replacing a toilet in an old home can be accomplished by yourself, but it is NOT easy due to the "rough in". A plumber may be necessary. Read our saga with our tips at the blog. ...»

Toilets only come in 12 inch and 10 inch standard rough ins.

We had 11.25 inch rough in. However....

(Cost is based on toilet plus plumber.)

Has anyone ever used this company before, or know of anyone who has used it? Does it work, and hold up well? Anyone in the Katy/Houston area in particular? Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    something that was "painted" on. It lasted several years but began to peel off. The best thing to do is to use a company like Rebath. They make a mold of your tub and place it over your old tub. Looks great and lasts.

bathroom mosaic

HI, I have never posted anything on the internet before but am in the middle of a renovating a house and have done so many fun things and wanted to share. I couldn't decide on one type of ...»
tile to surround our claw foot tub so I collected various colors of tile that I liked made a mosaic. I didn't draw it out, just wanted it to look free and flowing. Please excuse the mess in the rest of the picture, had a failed attempt at hanging a chandelier, need to find a smaller one. Oh, we have a farmhouse sink with a sideboard to be used in there also. The whole bathroom will be finished with all re-purposed materials, sink and tub found at junk sales, refinished, mirror found in garbage and repainted, windows off of Craig's List, floors taken out of a foreclosed house and put in by my husband, over the sink light from garage sale. OH and the 2 doors, not shown, are also Craig's List items.

    hi Polly, no I did not have any idea and actually had to purchase a few extra sheets of glass ...»
    tiles and 1 bag of flat marbles to finish but I did have extras of the plain white tiles:-) I used regular tile mastic, pre mixed, in a large tub, probably the 3 gallon size. I know that is the most expensive way to attach them but I just couldn't deal with mixing thin set every time I wanted to attach tile, it was a slow process and I would have wasted so much due to drying out. Those babies are never coming off without a lot of effort, so water and regular bathroom wear and tear wont hurt. The design is a bit out of the ordinary so I made a row of regular tile to act as a baseboard, grouted and caulked it, just to ensure my splashing won't damage the floor. I'm so excited to hear you are going to make a mosaic with your kids. You will have so much fun.

Cleaning & Organization: Keeping the toilet plunger/toilet brush sanitized between uses.

I'm looking for a way to store my toilet plunger and toilet brush in a more sanitary manner. I was wondering if anyone has an idea or two for a liquid 'storage' solution (like the stuff ...»
they use in barbershops to keep the combs sanitized). My plunger is 100% hard rubber, so I need something that won't eat away at it. Right now, I just use a small bathroom trash can. It's great for keeping the floor dry, but the ick-factor is up there. I also have cats, so I'd prefer something that is pet-friendly (their litter box is in the bathroom). Thanks!
