Searching For An Old Claw Foot Tub

I know this is designed for home improvement tips and problem resolution. I have been searching around the northern part of the Puget Sound (Washington State) for an old claw foot tub. We want to redo our bathroom and want to install an old tub. Our house is 86 years old and we are trying to restore to original whenever practical and possible. Here is my question. Does anyone around this area know of a place that deals in old tubs? I appreciate any help.

Clawfoot tubs

I know you are looking up there in Washington, but just in case it helps; In the Motherlode areas of California, they are abundant.

replacing electrical light

on Feb 05, 2002

My husband is in the process of replacing a contractor grade light in the kitchen...we chose a pot rack with 3 task lights inside. The problem is that the cover that fits tight to the ceiling is oval and the old opening is a circle. How do we fill in the old hole so it doesn't show? Can you buy covers to take up the space leftover?, instead of having to plaster?Read More

Clueless About Outlets

on Feb 05, 2002

Ok, first of I have no idea about electricity and how to complete a job i have in my home. Here's the set up. In my basement I have an extra room that was built by the previous owner. Basically he took a corner of the basement and put up two walls. Inside this room are several outlets and outside the room you can see the outlet boxes and electrical wire piping going to the boxes. Ok here's my quandry. I have a freezer that I have placed in the basement. It is located along one of the walls of the extra room but it's not inside the room. It's located on the outside (other side of the room wall) I'd like to use the outlet that runs into the extra room but of course that outlet only faces into the room not the outside of the room where the freezer is. Now my unskilled approach would be to just drill a hole in the wall and run an extention cord into the room and plug in the freezer that way. But then it looks seriously shoddy. How do I actually turn the outlet box around or make it so that I can have it so there's outlets on either side. One facing the room one facing outside? Any sites out there w/ diagrams or basic instruction? As I said I'm clueless and this is the first place I came to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. PunctureRead More
