    first of all is how good are you at it. do you put on a nice bead or slop it on and all over? How much calk will it take to do a window all depends on the person doing it. I guess you need to know how big of tubes your going to buy little ones or big ones. Maybe you want to measure around a window and then see what the coverage the tube might say. This is one you just might have to figure yourself by how much of a tube your going to use per window then times that many windows. I think 12 tubes will probably do it tho hahah

    make sure your fan is rated big enough for the size room you have. Also you have to have enough new air comming in the room to replace your humid air. You may also want to leave the fan on for awhile after the shower and also move both ends of shower curtain to center of rail so hot air excapes the tub and none is traped in one end of shower. some people also dry thmselves in shower and then dry the shower walls to prevent this. My dad was an interior decorator(house painter) and he always did that just to prevent moistor buildup.

    I think if you look you will find that the lever you lift on the spout to get it to go shower has partly come apart on the inside. You can either reassemble it or beter yet take it off and put on a new one.

    It all started years ago in a rifle factory in Green Bay Wis. It seems that one day the Green Bay Daily was putting togeather a story on the quality of the rifle company and the craftsmanship of the now unfamous rifle. Along about that same time The Chicago Bears were playing the local home town team the Green Bay Packers. As usual the Bears had their way with the crying Packers and beat them 40-6. People were so upset in the news room all stories got goofed up and wrong headlines went to different stories. So when the headline should of read Hardened Bolt gives strenth to our rifle—- It actually read along the lines of “Chicago Screws ……and thats the truth!!!

    I have always used my wallpaper scoring tool(home-Depot) then soak it with warm water. The paper should just peal off maybe using a putty or flat knife like in a drywall knife. Tell em at the H D that you need that round wallpaper geteroff -thingy and aa drywall mud putteron knife thingy and they will be able to help you. They may also sell you some watery like stuff to put in your pail of warm water.

    WITH A COMPRESSION FITTING ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT LINED UP RIGHT AS TO NOT CROSS THREAD IT AND MAKE SURE IT’S TIGHT ENOUGH AS TO NOT LEAK

    The fan may not be big enough for the room size and doesnt carry enough air away. It could be the flapper on the outside wall isnt opening too. I would think probably the fan tho as it’s in all your baths.

    The hpl is commonly sole in 4X8 foot sheets tho special orders can be made, usually if you ship a sheet it is rolled up and taped. Also if it gets wet and lays it tends to warp and get even more brittle. By the way wilson art is a very good hpl and they have about a million colors.

    look inside the handle and see if there is a spot to put a screw. I’ll bet one time it fell out when the handle came tumbeling off. If I didn’t have a clue for a fix i would probably just go the the best Ace hardware store in the area and tell em what your problem is and all you want is a quick fix. They should be able to help out with something.

    the boards don’t fit tight to the wall. Of corse this would be covered up by the trim boards.
