In today’s show we tackle smelly bathrooms, thin-set questions and discuss what we we think is the best tile cutter money can buy.

 

Jan’s bathrooms are having a sewer gas issue. What could be the problem? We share how to get rid of this sewer gas in the show.

 

Here’s the video I made on how to clean stinky sink drains

Jerry’s question had to do with thin-set, how to become familiar with it and keep it from drying out.

 

We recommend Ardex and Mapei thin-sets because they have great ‘pot life’ and great adhesion properties.

Eight years ago we had a toilet that leaked into the living room. It was nasty.

 

I called in one of my favorite plumbers here in Pittsburgh to fix it. Since then toilet has been leak free.

 

But this past week I had to remove that toilet because we’re remodeling the bathroom.

 

Today you’ll learn how to remove a toilet without it spilling disgusting water. Plus, you’ll learn some of the tips that helped this toilet stay leak proof for 8 years.
