Drain pipe is cast iron rated for commercial application. The closer the toilet is installed toward the bathtub the better as room is very small and floor space is already a concern.

Our garage walls are ready to be finished with either paneling or drywall. Several questions - which is cheaper to do? Which is easier? Which is quickest? I have some experience with paneling and it is fairly easy to work with - around light switches and things and I know I can get some decent looking paneling for around $10 to $12 a sheet. I know very little about drywall. After this is done we will drywall the ceiling - if that factors into your answers. Other considerations I am missing? Thanks!

In roofing a house, there are bundles of shingles called 3 tab shingles. Where and when are these shingles used? How do they differ from a regular bundle of shingles? Also, what are starter shingles? How and when are they used, and how do they come?

How good of a job will the primer/sealer do at filling in minor blemishes on my drywall--I already spackled and sanded, but does it need to be perfect-perfect?

How long should I wait in between coats to apply the paint?

Is it better to paint the trim first or the walls?

I've looked in places like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc, with no luck (carry only standard sizes). Looked online with disbelief how hard it is to find metric stainless compression fittings and stainless waterline for my pullout kitchen faucet. (European made).

The size I'm looking for is a little bit bigger than a 3/8" compression fitting. (Not sure what that would be). I already have a 60" waterline currently, but if I could either get the same configuration waterline except it needs to be 9' minimum or I could couple my 60" waterline with another 60" hose would be fine also. But the stainless hose fittings HAVE to be metric.

My goal is to have minimum 9' stainless flexible stainless waterline so I could reach the stove when I need it. (Not lazy....efficient!) Any onsite store or a phone number of a place that sells metric stainless fittings will be of great assistance. Help!! Thanks!

I've just painted an ancient oak armoire using high-gloss, cream-coloured latex paint. I was wondering if I should put a coat of verathane (SP) on to finish it up, if I should leave it as-is or if there's another product that would work even better?
