…happens to me about twice a week. They need a beeper in the rim. I swear I’d pay extra. I am farsighted and consequently have to take of f my glasses to deal with anything beyond arm’s length. This means I often take them off and lay them down to do...

Three plumbers over 4 years have said they couldn’t do it. WE think we’ve done it. It took some creative work and in one case manufacturing (via silicone glue and nested pipes) our own adapter, but we have gotten the ‘irreplaceable’ vertically...

We’re sticking down the tiles. Put glue down—you have to wait for it to cure, it has to be seen to at that point—and an accident locked the bathroom door. We—own no key. Help is at hand, however—I have mad burglar skillz. I found a cheap...

Our bathroom has no tile in the tub enclosure, just plastic sheeting. Dusty plastic sheeting on the floor. A patch of concrete ‘leveler’ where we had to replace the subfloor. We have no cabinets, just a hole in the wall. No tp holder. More holes. Our tile...

I’m apparently Red Snake born in the year of the Black Horse, and my element is fire, my ancestral element is water, and my lucky element is wood, green my lucky color, East is my lucky direction, and Rabbit or Tiger is my fortunate match. Jane is Black Rabbit...
