All bathroom plumbing normally will
connect to a water supply using a 3/8" tube or pipe. This pipe will
connect from the water source to the plumbing fixtures using a flexible
hose.
All showers, sinks and toilets have drain traps which are used to keep
some water in the drain pipe allowing for an air seal between the
ambient air space and the inside of the drain system.
Equipment you need when refinishing
cabinets
To begin redoing your cabinet
doors, place newspapers, paper towels or plastic sheets to protect
the floor area prior to refinishing the cabinets. You may also need a
can of bonding primer, paint brushes, and painting tape to keep the
paint lines straight. It is also a good idea to have sandpaper nearby to
even out a few blemishes on the cabinet before repainting.
The beginnings of cork flooring
Cork flooring is not a new decorative idea; in fact, the First
Congregational Church in Chicago, Illinois had
cork flooring installed
in 1890. Like fashion styles, what was popular once will be popular
again, if you wait long enough. Cork flooring is making a dramatic
comeback because both architects and designers are realizing that cork
is a unique material. It combines more benefits than any other floor
covering; including its distinctive look and is environmentally
friendly. Cork is the perfect flooring solution since it is warm to the
touch, cushions your feet, provides great acoustical insulation, and can
be used anywhere in the home.

would normally be left laying on the counter or placed in a hallway
linen closet, making it inconvenient to get them.

materials being used already in those areas. By keeping everything close
