Hey- I don't know much about this stuff, but I watched yourvideo on roof moss and you said the copper kills the moss. Does copper from the copper piping erode with time and get into the water?
It can. It depends ... ( 7 months ago by AsktheBuilder)
It can. It depends on the water chemistry. Go to my website and read my past columns on Aggressive Water. In places with favorable chemistry, the copper inside the pipes gets coated with a lining of lime which prevents the loss of copper. Our bodies need a small amount of copper.

Tim - Please do not ... ( 5 months ago by chetwalcott)
Tim - Please do not advise your listeners to use plumbers putty on that granite counter top. Plumber's putty is oil based and will cause a horrible discoloration on your granite. Use a silicone sealant to protect the counter top.
Good advice! What I ... ( 5 months ago by AsktheBuilder)
Good advice! What I failed to say - darn it - is that I sealed the granite three times before we shot this video. That should be done no matter what sealant you use. I appreciate your comment and it always helps to have a second or third set of eyes!
Okay--I need to ... ( 4 months ago by LeesaA007)
Okay--I need to know what to do. I have black granite countertops. We bought the plumber's putty to put it on with...what should we do to get the job done TOMORROW? Do I have to worry if it is a black counter? Should I remove the existing faucet and seal it overnight? Sealing it makes it take longer time than we have. Thanks for the input!

You can substitute silicone caulk - clear. It is a little messy, but will not stain the granite.

No S-trap...... You need to watch the drain video for this sink...Jaykob85, you seem to know a little about plumbing. I went to your channel and there are no videos of yourself sharing your knowledge. Instead of spending all this time making comments on other people's videos, how about investing that time making your videos so we can comment about your techniques?

Thanks! Don't throw the towel in on all upcoming challenges. Some things you may be able to do with just a little practice.
