Toilet Parts
DEAR TIM: Can you educate me on all the different toilet parts and how they work? DEAR STEVE: I've never thought of myself as a Toilet Professor, but being a master plumber as well as a builder, you can bet I've put in my fair share of toilets.
What to Choose First, the Faucet or the Tub?
DEAR TIM: I'm pulling my hair out looking at tub faucets. DEAR REBEKAH: It can be mesmerizing to gaze at tub faucets, especially in a showroom where the faucets are installed as they would be in your own home.
Soapstone Countertops Show Their Age, for Better or Worse
DEAR TIM: A kitchen designer recommended soapstone countertops for my new kitchen. DEAR TARA: Soapstone is a natural stone product. Knowing this, you should extrapolate that soapstone is somewhat soft.
