I was wondering what an average cost for installing a new kitchen faucet is? We just got a new sink and it is deeper than our other one and I would like to put the garbage disposal on the opposite side. I would attempt it myself but the lengths are going to be different and I don’t have all the proper tools.
go to hardware store get plastic drain pipe you will save alot of money
The toilet and the bathtub in my bathroom have deep dark turquoise color while surrounding wall has white ceramic tiles.While the floor has light turquoise color. The sink and the cabinet are white. I am looking for an advice on what color I have to paint the wall that does not have white ceramic tile (right now it has ugly wallpaper). I am looking for color that will complement the dark turquoise on the bathroom fixture, light turquoise on the floor and white ceramic tile on the wall. Thanks!
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a color called "certian peach" (# 6625) would be just what you’re looking for. It would highlight the turquoise & also coordinate well with the white.
This is a home built in the 60’s. The current ceiling box looks like if has a 1" bolt through it threaded tightly to a board with a nut. All other bedrooms in this house already have fans. So I don’t think it is a large jump to think that this box will be able too. The box is also very stable when I pull on the fixture set screws.
Actually you should have no problems.
The way you described the existing box it is the type that have a "bar" that is mounted in between the joists/studs in the ceiling and the large nut holds the box in place on that bar. That is the exact same set-up (But built better) that the fan brace kits you buy today.
Hope this helps,

We have an old one we want to replace & I’m just wondering if it’s something people do themselves or if you call a plumber… We already bought the new faucet.
Most replacement faucets will go back in,the way the old one came out, trouble is that sometimes corrosion sets in on the valves ,,make sure the water is off before you start and don’t get in a hurry,you can do it
My bathroom has a black toilet and black sink. Even after I clean with a normal cleaner, white stains remain. I would like to get the shiny appearance of a brand new Kohler. Help!
Try a denture tablet(like Polident) – drop one into the toilet bowl and let it fizz away.
Or
You have a mineral build up from your water – you may need a pumice stone to scrub with.
Every other faucet in the house works but our kitchen faucet is not giving us any water. Anyone know what the problem could be?
Are you sure that the shutoff valve is not in the closed position? Either right under the sink, or farther down the dedicated pipes that lead to your faucet? Or…
If the faucet is old it might simply be a matter of worn out parts like rubber gaskets blocking the flow of the water, or broken metal parts preventing the turning of the faucet to open the water valve.
I wouldn’t peter around trying to fix these if the faucet is over five years old. You can simply buy a replacement faucet for a decent price, and replace it.
I have a stationary light fixture above my shower curtain rod. I want to add a small chandelier with a chain and move it over about 1 ft.
Hardware store or lighting store will have a "swag light kit" that’s spefically designed for this. Consists of a trim plate to cover the junction box for the existing fixture, with a chain and cord set to connect to the new hanging fixture. Just be sure the hook for the fixture goes into a ceiling joist and not just the drywall/plaster. If you want to postion it between joists– if you have attic access, go into the attic and nail a block of wood between the joists in the appropriate location —– if you don’t have attic access, you’re going to have to open up the ceiling.
In either case, do NOT simply put a screw or drywall anchor into the middle of the ceiling — either the anchor will pull out, or a chunck of ceiling will come down. Combine this will a bathtub and electricity, and it’s a recipe for disaster.
The spray nozzle snapped off of my kichen faucet. The retractable tubing/hose is in tact.; however, the small piece that connects the hose to the actual faucet/spray nozzle snapped. Can this small piece be relaced or do I have to buy a new faucet?
First get the name of the faucet manufacturer, and even better if you know the model. Then call the mfg to inquire about warrantees. If no luck there, call plumbing suppliers. You should be able to get a replacement for it, unless it’s an off-the-wall brand.
If it’s a hand-held spray that pulls through the spout you’ll probably want to get an exact replacement.
How do I remove the escutcheon (deck) plate from a Delta kitchen faucet? It is a Delta Signature Pull-out Kitchen Faucet (model # 470) with optional escutcheon. The faucet was previously installed in our home but we’re redoing our kitchen and I want to now install this faucet on a granite counter top without using the escutcheon. The installation sheet is long gone. Thanks!
Since we demo’d the kitchen, the faucet has been removed. I can’t see where the escutcheon is attached or how to remove it.
On these new pull out spray faucets the plate is generally held on by the same big nut that threads onto the underside and holds the faucet tight into the countertop. Frequently there’s a small decorative chrome or brushed chrome ring that fits onto the base of the main spigot, sometimes removable, sometimes not, to fill any small gap that may be left when using the faucet without the plate. If the plate is staying on the faucet since you’ve removed it, it may just be stuck. Try pulling on it slightly to dislodge it. It may come right loose. (The older style units that didn’t pull out had a couple of philips head screws holding the plate onto the spigot base. ) Some of them have one long bolt that has a sleeve and a plate which spans the hole to hold it down. Depends on the unit, but it should be one or the other.
The light fixture can be left to charge by the window indoor and activated at dusk.
You’re in luck , they do sell such a thing but I’m not sure who or where they sell them , I’m sure you can go online and find out , check on solar panel or solar power, that’s probably easier and cheaper than installing skylights which bring in natural light to the house ,
