Does anyone know of a place where they sell inexpensive fire brick in San Antonio,Tx? I found some for $1.30 ea. but I need 90 fire bricks for an outdoor fireplace and bar-b-que.

I am building an outdoor fireplace and need to install a steel lentil for the top front of the fireplace opening so I can use cinder block on top to build the smoke chamber and chimney. How do I attach the angle iron to the cmu? Is mortaring it in with the blocks good enough?

I have some 6" diameter x 12" long concrete from test cylinders. I live in San Antonio,tx and need some more. My father-in-law use to get them for free but he is deceased.

I have been researching this for a while and don't want to depend on customer reviews from the websites I have visited. Anyone out there that has had a good experience with wood laminate floors? Please give name brand and where you purchased it from. I want a dark laminate wood with or without padding.

I was working in my shop outside and heard this loud noise! And YES a busted water fixture. I ran and turned off the water. Had to go to home depot and get a galvanized plug for a galvanized T that hooked up to a pvc pipe. Cut the pvc pipe off and will deal with that later. Not what I wanted to do on my day off.

16'3" double 2x12 header with plywood in between. What is the maximum span that this can go on a truss roof system? It runs perpendicular to the ceiling joists and into a 3' wall for the air return supported by 2 jack studs and a king stud to ceiling joist. Inside the air return the header is supported on the end and again at 36" and of course at the other end. Is this enough support to have a 13' opening?

I bought a Panasonic TCP50X1 and have it mounted on the wall. I have 4 speakers in the ceiling and want to know what is the best way to connect speakers to a Pioneer VSX519V Receiver and how to get sound to come out of it. I need to know what to set the TV to and how to set up the receiver for 4 speakers.

I installed kohler frameless shower doors and I can't get one of the doors to glide. I checked the inside of the track and it was rough in some places so I smoothed it out with steel wool. I put a little white grease on the rollers and checked the door for plumb. The other one rolls well. This is the outside one and it makes it difficult to get into the shower.

I have an old ArcoAire central ac/heater unit in my attic and the fan(blower)relay is bad. The outside unit was replaced a couple of years ago. I cannot find another relay for it. It is 5 prong(3 on one side and 2 on the other)24V 50/60HZ Essex # 91 102006 31831. I have jumped it to get the blower going and tested the capacitor. The capacitor is good. It is blowing now but won't shut off when the ac reaches the temp on the thermostat or when I turn the ac off. HELP!!!

I have gutted a bathroom in the shower area and cut back the drywall so the cement board and tiles will fit but there is no stud behind the edge of the drywall now. I have cut some studs the length I need but the wall is offset and there is about 1 1/2" behind the existing studs and the drywall to the opposite kitchen wall. I have shimmed behind the stud and will predrill and scew to sillplate. Should I put blocking in between since it doesn't go all the way to the ceiling?There is about 2" between the stud I put in and the one next to it. I do NOT want to cut out any more drywall since my cement board is 3' wide and that will be my tiled area.

I have gutted the bathroom tub area to the studs and have a 32X60 Swanstone retrofit shower floor to install.The largest wall is an exterior wall and I can see the 15lb felt. I will be insulating all 3 walls with paper faced insulation. My question is how far down do I apply the felt and do I need to cut slashes in the insulation since that is a vapor barrier also?The instructions for the swanstone shower floor show the cement board behind the lip edge of the shower base then thinset and tiles to bring it even with the edge.

I have ripped out the one piece fibergalss tub surround and have ordered a retrofit swanstone shower floor. I don't know what to do with the overflow drain from the tub as I assume I won't need it for a shower. I can move the valve for the shower handle to the correct height BUT can't find any information on what to do with the overflow. PLEASE HELP!

After I cap off the tub faucet how do I move the control valve for the shower to be at a comfortable height? Will I have to cut the pipes and solder? I believe it is copper.

I need to know how to convert the faucet to just a shower. How hard would it be? I haven't taken out the tub yet. It has a one handle faucet for the tub and the shower. I am tiling the walls of the shower.I need to know what to do so that water doesn't come out of the spout only the shower head.

I want to replace it with a shower but I can't seem to find and shower pans that will fit the same drain opening. I plan on tiling the walls around the shower and putting in glass doors. I just can't move the drain. I don't have a problem with the hot and cold water. Does anyone know where they sell shower pans to replace tub enclosures?????
