Thank you!

I did go to Home Depot and they didn't have any! I was shocked.

Well Good news! Weissman and Mcmann were right...you get more bees with honey (is that the expression?? why would anyone want more bees?) I won!! I was level headed and just called to follow up on my dishwasher dilemma and they "found" me the same model machine, in a box, brand new, that they will sell to me for the same price as I originally paid! Not quite sure why they have to "return" the old machine I never got and then "purchase" this new one when the cost is the same...but whatever, I'm just happy I'm getting a machine and one without a dent, to boot! So I'm one happy camper (for now, until something else goes wrong with either the credit or purchase amount or the machine is wrong---so many stresses with ordering appliances.) Thank you all for your advice! It was wonderful to have rational voices giving me advice during my battle with corporate america.

Need 3/4 bath in 4' x 10' space... HELP!
Q
Comments (12)
If you use a Toto wall hung toilet with an in-the-wall tank by Geberit or Toto, (Geberit makes one that fits in a 4-1/2" stud wall), it will extend into the room 21". That would leave you 27" in front of the toilet, which meets the minimum. Your other option would be to create wet room where the toilet and shower occupied the same space. The toilet could go on the back 4' wall (I would still do wall hung), and the whole floor under it and four feet in front of it could be a large shower floor. Then at the front of the bathroom could be a narrow wall hung sink. This could be carried out with a conventional shower pan but it would not be as convenient for in-the-night trips to the bathroom. A shower pan with a threshold in the front and in the back could be placed in the middle of the room and you would walk through the shower to get to the toilet at the back. A bit to think about walking through the bathroom but it would function. The problem is the door location. I am planning a second, 3/4 bath that is 7 x 3.5 that works only because the door is in the middle of the long wall, with toilet on one side of the door, shower on the other and narrow sink in the middle. It just barely meets the minimum of 24" in front of the toilet with a conventional shower pan, or could exceed it if I did a flush shower pan with trench drain.

Screwing 2x4 width-wise... is a long screw the way to go?
Q
Comments (8)
Yes. I started with the "one holer" (~$20) and found it effective. I saw a video on the "two holer" (~$40) and got one because in the repair work I do, there were times where I could not clamp it down, and the two-holer has a place where you can screw it in place for the drilling. Then I found a K3 set set on consignment. Later, I started volunteer work at a place that just got a Foreman. We drill a few hundred pocket holes in a couple hour

3cm quartz countertop overhang needs supported over 10"?
Q
Comments (14)
Mark_rachel, its only 12" because there is door to my backyard to the right of it and a wall that juts out behind it that would create a bottleneck if the island is too big. That's the most I can have without blocking traffic. When it was designed I wanted a full two feet behind the sink so my kids could sit there without their stuff falling in the sink. It was decided to put cabinets in the back for a little extra storage without the need for extra support. I would love to have a slightly bigger overhang but I don't have to room and yes, I want the best I can get for my money. If you could have the exact same countertop for $2200 vs. $4500 isn't that the way you would go? I'm bucking at the supports because that is what the back cabinets were put there for, supports are going to get in the way of the doors. Mainenell, that's an interesting idea! It would require adapting the back cabinets though or it would block the doors opening. Weedmeister, thanks for the warning. It is firmly bolted in. My husband built the base on site because this house is old and the floor decidedly unlevel.

Wood, sheet metal, exterior, structural, machine???

Fastenal probably either has them or can get them into their store.

I need them to replace too short pin head screws that go through the center of some ceramic cabinet knobs we bought. Our children love the decoration on the knobs, but they screws they came with are so short they don't go through the cabinets. They also have no place on the head for a screwdriver, but since I can't find any long enough that are plain heads I figured I'd have to resort to regular screws and just have it not be as nice looking, unfortunately.

Well, first; Home Depot or Lowes probably did have them but they were probably in a long set of drawers of specialty hardware. I am actually surprised that they weren't right out on the rack. They are still common.

However, it sounds like you should be looking for some kind of thin long bolt, not a screw, because you would want to thread a nut on inside the door or drawer. They should be there too.

If you like the screws you have, but they are too short, perhaps you can counterbore the back of the hole to make them reach.
