Any experience installing wall-hung toilets? That L-shaped thing extends forward to suspiciously big distance (big waste of metal). I'd rather believe it's some imaginary set of lines to illustrate how in general the toilet should be positioned rather than an actual construction. |

Any experience installing wall-hung toilets? @Joel Spolsky: I'm in very eastern Europe and I've never seen a live "standard" (with "flush down" inner pipe) toilet in my whole life - only "flush back" models are used here and we have state standards and codes that regulate how "flush back" toilets should be manufactured and they flush just fine until you throw a whole ununwinded roll of toilet paper or a whole newspaper into it which I guess would clog any kind of toilet. |

Any experience installing wall-hung toilets? Okay, but that framework must be attached properly as well and the person doing that must be qualified enough to not fasten it with tiny screws to some weak drywall framework and declare it done - any negligence can have dire consequences here. |

Any experience installing wall-hung toilets? Be sure that installation is done by a qualified person - if such unit is not attached to a strong enough construction or the attachment itself is not strong enough you face serious risks of having it fallen off and broken and its pieces causing severe injuries (pottery is extremely hard and will have extremely sharp edges). That's not what you care that much in case of floor-mounted toilet, but it's extremely important in case of wall-mounted one. |

How to remove old wires of utility companies +1, another reason for not doing this job yourself is you might cause some accidential damage and be held liable for it - that can be a fortune. |

Is there some flexible cement-based mortar? @Asaf Chertkoff: Not at all - we have entire cities of such houses and such cracks are considered "requires maintenance" class situations. |

How do I install laminate counter tops? What are some tips/tricks to it? +1, except it won't matter much how fine the jigsaw blade is - the sink edges will overlap with the countertop and cover all the chip-outs unless of course you press extra hard on you jigsaw which you should never do. |
