We recently purchased a new-built home with an unfinished basement that we are now looking to finish. We paid for an upgrade to have 3 peice plumbing in place, as we had planned to finish. As I type, the wall are being assembled by a contractor, hired to just do the walls and ceiling grid. Yesterday I had to purchase a new tub when we finally hammered out the details of the bathroom. When I got the tub home I was stumped on how the overflow drain would work. I have a pipe sticking out of the floor right now. How do I connect the pipe on the floor to the tub and the overflow. Do I position the pipe on the floor underneath the drain of the tub or underneath the area where the overflow is and then Tee off to the drain of the tub? I hope that this is not too confusing and that some guru DIY'er can assist. Thank you in advance for any help

Hello all, I have an ongoing problem that I thought was nothing but I need to address it. I have been in my home for four(4) years now and I have to get this off my head . We notice a stinky odor from the toilet, tub or shower. It seems as if it comes thru a tub, shower drain or the toilet. It smells like an outdoor toilet. We notice it early in the morning or in the evening when we come home. Both of these periods are times of inactivity of the toilets, tub and shower drains. Do I need to pour something down the drain and toilets. We notice it primarily in our upstairs master bathroom and upon asking my son and daughter about their individual bathrooms both attest that theirs never smell like that and that my bathroom smell horrible in the mornings and upon arrival in the evenings. Please help. I can almost say that it smells like a sewer line . Please help us with this dilemma. We do not smell it in any of the other bathrooms. :confused: Hewnew
