RE: Making sure your home’s pipes are up to code - how I do it
That’s exactly what makes me nervous too - like, what if the sensor just fails quietly? Reading this: kinda confirms my worries. I guess tech is awesome for peace of mind, but I’m still not sure I’d sleep easy without d...
RE: How do you usually tackle installing a new drain - DIY or call in a pro?
I totally get the struggle with walls that aren’t square... I’ve had to use those extra couplers more than I thought I would, and sometimes it feels like I’m just patching a puzzle together. Does anyone actually measure ...
RE: Saving water in the shower actually worked for me
I’ve been wondering about this too. Some of those ultra-low flow showerheads get rave reviews, but I’m skeptical - do they actually rinse shampoo out properly? I don’t want to stand there forever just to get soap off. Ha...

RE: license about to expire, what's the easiest way to renew?
I've heard online renewal can be tricky sometimes, but isn't there usually a grace period if you're cutting it close? Maybe calling ahead could save you from a DMV day trip...has anyone tried that route?
RE: need some advice on plumbing stuff for DIY bathroom fix-up
I've wondered about the rodent thing myself - seems like one of those horror stories that pops up every now and then, but I don't know how common it actually is. My neighbor redid his kitchen plumbing with PEX about thre...
RE: got a warning for my shower habits, seriously?
Wait, are you sure they're actually monitoring your showers specifically? Maybe it's just based on overall water usage spikes or something... I mean, how would they even track shower length individually? Seems kinda inva...
