Home Improvement Today?

Being so old, I'd like to replace the whole heater. Just putting out a feeler for any suggestions.

Here's the current heater. It's a Beacon.

 

Company still makes them:

Hey look! I’m doing stuff!

 

Looks great! Is that a small tub or does the pic just make it look that way?

 

Thanks! I think the way that I tiled the wall makes it looks small, but it is a 32" x 60" x 18"

 

just a deep tub...

 

Father in law just came over and walked in the bathroom to check it out. Squeezed out a lot of mortar from those floor tiles

 

I like to burn in a layer of thinset when doing ditra heat before tiling.

 

We usually prefill all Ditra products the day prior to setting tiles

 

Getting closer!

 

Good work.
That toilet flange looks buried now below tile. I used to use double thick wax but have seen the wax fail in time. So I started using flange spacers then thick wax,and long closet bolts

 

did you keep the FIL outta there this time?

 

Indeed it is. My dad has used the spacers before with good luck. I'm leaving him in charge of toilet setting duties.

 

Yes. Not allowed back over until project is done.

 

Doesn't it stink in there without plugging up the toilet drain

 

nah

 

Shouldn't if there is a p trap in the piping

 

When does a toilet get a p trap ?

 

No ptrap on toilet. Toilet is the trap
