Where to buy laminate flooring in varna Bulgaria?

Praktiker is the Bulgarian equivalent to Home Base.' They have a web page - but make sure you go to the page that says Praktiker bg on line. They do home delivery, and accept English credit cards on line, although have a delivery charge,but can deliver all over BG. Takes between 2 - 5 working days for delivery, they don't call in advance to say they are coming but you can track your delivery on their web site socan work outwhen it is arriving. There is also a Praktiker store in Varna. I have found the home delivery very helpful and they are able to correspond in English if like me you don't speak any Bulgarian.

How many yards of carpet do you need for a 12 foot by 12 foot room?

A yard is 3 feet, so 12 x 10 = 120, and 120 x 3 = 360. You would need 360 yd2.

Your math is flawed. True, a yard does equal 3 feet but, all you did was multiply the square feet by 3. Your answer of 360 yd2 would equal a room 36 feet x 90 feet.

The true math would be

12 feet = 4 yards.

10 feet = 10/3 yards (3 1/3)

Now multiply the 2 to get 4 x 3 1/3 which equals 13 1/3 yd2

What is the average price per square foot for tile installation around Savannah Georgia?

Labor Prices

Fees & charges change from town to town, region to region, the best ways I can suggest to find a good range is :

Run a short ad in Craigslist, that will likely get you someone hungry & maybe unlicensed so you will know the cheapest price.

Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge if you buy your tile from them?

That will be the highest price in the market

Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references. a steal on tile or a great price on labor, can be VERY COSTLY if you give the job to a butcher.

My bet will be you will find someone on the low end at about $2 per sq ft & that the depot will be $6-8 bucks a foot after they do all the add ins.

Get it in writing. Never pay for it all upfront

Do you tile the shower walls or floor first?

Shower walls, because if you do the floor first, and then drop a wall tile on it, you could risk chipping the already laid tile. Work with gravity, top to bottom all the time

--------------

Must disagree with above answer. Floor first so that floor goes under walls. Then leave a small gap between walls and floors. Do not grout this gap. Caulk it when job is done.

How do you raise the level of the toilet after tile install?

Depends on how much you need. Sometimes you can just use two wax rings. If that doesn't do it, you can use a PVC toilet flange and use it to make up the difference. Cut it off the right height and use a wax ring between it and the old flange. You cut the old flange out and extend the pipe and a new flange. If you put backer board down first and then the tile, you probably raised the floor level about 3/4 of an inch. Two wax rings with the black funnel insert in them should be enough to seal the toilet to the drain.

What are the steps in the amendment process?

first you need 2/3 proposal of both houses of congress (house of representatives and senate)

Then you need a passage or ratification of 3/4 of state legislatures.

Close. The amendment process has two steps, proposal and ratification. Official proposals can be made by 2/3 of Congress or 2/3 of state legislatures (so Congress can be involved). Ratification occurs with a 3/4 vote of the state legislatures or a 3/4 vote of state conventions made up of delegates (not necessarily legislators) elected by the people.

Why does your basement floor have a hole filled with gravel?

This could be an old floor drain. Check to see if you have another floor drain in a different part of the basement.

...It's not a drain. That is a rough-in or prepared area to install a bathtub or shower. It is normanlly a squared off hole near some other PVC pipe stubs sticking up for toilet and sink connections.

How should floor shower tile meet with floor drain?

tile should slope sightly down toward the drain and drain should be recessed slightly below the top of the tile

If you notice black water marks on the wall and ceiling on your first floor underneath your second floor bathroom shower should you call a plumber or the insurance company?

If it's a simple water leak your insurance company probably won't offer much help. a plumber will take care of the leak but then you'll need to get a contractor to patch up the water damage.

How do you Replace a toilet after you tile the floor?

With a deep floor flange Or a wax seal with a horn and extra long Brass floor flange bolts

What is the correct wax seal for a toilet flange that is flush with the floor?

I usually use the thickest wax ring I can find with the plastic funnel thing embedded in it. If it's a little too thick, the extra wax will just squeeze out a bit underneath the toilet. Sometimes its necessary to double up on the ring (use two - one with the funnel one without) to make a good seal on a flange after installing a thick (tile) floor in a bathroom which I kind of assume is your issue.

If the closet collar is even with the top of the finished floor, no amount of wax will stop the water from coming out. It may not happen right away, but it sure will. One way to fix this problem is to attempt to raise the closet collar so that it will rest on top of the finished floor. Another way is to buy a closet collar extension. Either way the toilet will be held to the floor and the wax ring should then seal tight.

It depends... The advice above is good however if you have one of the newer "Super Toilets" such as the Toto Drake or Am Std Champion the outlet hole on these are enlarged and you should not use the wax rings that come with the plastic horn. The plastic horn will actually get pinched by the larger outlet and be squeezed into an oval shape that will actually cause clogs.

Another option is not to use wax seal at all. I have encountered many problems using wax seal ,it does not last long and it does not look nice. My option would be to use white, Prattley Putty standard setting. It seals water tight, goes very hard in 2 hours, easy to apply and it gives off a white, smooth very appealing finish.(Its Plumbers Cement)

*If you are attaching to a plastic Floor Flange, you would use a Kant Leak(which has the plastic hub installed with the wax seal) and use a hacksaw to cut a regular wax seal in half,still leaving it like a round donut. You put the Kant Leak on the flange, then mold the wax seal half on top of the Kant Leak. The 1/2 wax seal should be formed so when you put the toilet down it does not push into the center and down the drain. If you are putting the toilet onto a Cast Iron or Lead flange with a brass ring, DO NOT use the Kant Leak. Use one and 1/2 wax seals and do the same as I stated previously.

If the toilet flange is flush with the floor you are probably fine and would not need to use an extension kit to raise the flange. As long as your flange is in good condition and firmly secured to the floor below it you should be ok.

Is there any proper way to install and insulate a shower valve in outside wall applications or should it be avoided at all costs?

In general, you should avoid putting plumbing on the outside wall if you live in a freezing climate. If you MUST use the outside wall, insulate heavily to the outside and do not insulate between the pipe and the heated area of the house and leave a space for heated inside air to ciculate around the pipes.

When installing laminate floors under a toilet should I use silicone around the edges of the laminate closest to the flange or will a wax ring with a funnel be enough?

Silicone would be advisable around the wax ring. In addition take silicone and put it where the floor and wall meet. This should be hidden by quarter round or shoe. This is so if the toilet were to over flow, the water would not be able to roll under the boards.
