American Standard Dream Bath: Hot Time in the New Bath Tonight

Carey Brothers Remodeling has just finished a master bath remodel.

The owners were looking for comfort and warmth for their new tile floor. They also chose to install a heated towel bar to warm up their towels and to help dry them.

Some of the perks of a warm floor will even help reduce your need for forced air heat which blows dust and particles around the bath and is noisy.

No more cold feet when you walk out of the shower, so no more small slippery bath rugs that are unsafe!

Warm floor are energy efficient and will help cut utility costs. No more heating up the house for a warm bathroom. The bath can be a consistent temperature all through the cold weather. Just set the thermostat for your favorite temperature and enjoy WARM FEET!

We interviewed Chris Fisher of Certainteed Solar!

We discuss what makes solar look better. Things like “low profile” racks, how affordable it is these days, the warranties and value of solar, and just what is BIPV vs a rack system!

Recall! Rust-oleum Recalls Countertop Coating Due to Violation of Federal Lead Paint Ban

 Rust-Oleum Black Satin Countertop Coating has been recalled because of the hazard of lead paint! As we all know, lead is toxic to both the young and the elderly, especially if ingested as is prone to happen if the coating is on your countertop. Sold places like Ace, The Home Depot and Walmart, not to mention online from Amazon, the best remedy for this recall is simply to replace it.

An Old Toilet with a Time-Tested Solution

We answered a caller question for Nancy whose Case toilet is leaking! She couldn’t find the parts she needs to fix it because of its age, but with the Carey Brothers on the job they found her a toll-free number and a website that carries the parts she just might need.

Calvin, a listener and caller, had questions about his brother’s 100-year-old home.
