Open Question: How do I remove floor tile? and more... Open Question: How do I remove floor tile?For some reason I'm having a hard time finding a good DIY instruction page on how to remove floor tile. Half of them are about removing just one damaged tile and the rest all have different methods. Some say to place a towel on top of it and smash with something, others have different machines. I'm not really sure where to start. The space is about 5' x 5' and the tiles are the tiny kind, like 1 sq. inch each. What tools do I need? Do people usually tile underneath wooden vanities? Will I have to take it up? Help! Open Question: How do I use Diatomaceous Earth, when back flushing the filter?Our pool is green with algae and dirt. We just cleaned out our 36sq ft DE-3600 filter. We added 9 cans of Diatomaceous Earth as the instructions said. We then added 4 gallons of liquid chlorine, and ran the pump for about 1 hour. The pressure went up to a 25 and I know its supposed to be around 10-15. Do we need to back flush the filter? If so do we add more diatomaceous earth? Thanks for your help. Open Question: What is honed travertine tile?Open Question: Considering removing a toilet in basement unusable...what do I use to fill up the hole left in...?...the concrete floor? This toilet has not been used in years and I had the water line cut off when I moved into the house several years ago. Should I worry about sewer gases escaping once the toilet is removed? The piping and existing plumbing will have to remain and I would like for it to remain as I may put in a cold water supply sink or something running from that line. I just do not need that toilet there and would like to have its existing space. What do I put over the hole? Is this a permanent fix? My floor is concrete and there is a drain about 2ft and another 4ft from that one in front of the toilet. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Open Question: Do I need to cover entire roof with radiant barrier?I am considering installing radiant barrier, but I have a very difficult attic to navigate. I have a low pitch roof and i'm also 6'5 - 230 so navigating/working in the attic can be very difficult. My home is only about 1200 sq. foot so I think I could cover large portions of the roof with ease, but again the low pitch roof is going to make things very difficult for me to cover every nook and cranny. So, would applying the radiant barrier to the main portions of the roof still offer some benefit? From my reading it doesn't appear that the barrier needs to be air tight, so I am hoping that applying the barrier to the bigger sections would help reflect most of the incoming heat, is that assumption correct? Well, im not sure the air duct is a good example. From what I have read even the professional jobs don't need to be air tight. From what I understand the system's primary job is not to restrict air flow, but to reflect heat. I think the stuff is pretty cheap, covering most of the roof should pay for itself right?
