The swap May 3rd is in San Antonio. Someone just told me it's been posted on Craigslist by another lady from our "group". It should be announced on both the gardening programs next week (550 am with Bob Webster & 1200 am with David Rodriguez). Should have a larger turnout. Think I may need help since we are getting so much publicity.

Hi there, helpful experts: I'm in the midst of a bathroom remodel (well, the contractor is). I purchased an acrylic Duravit tub with a field-installed tile flange, for a tub/shower application. At the price, I was expecting something more than a peel-and-press strip of plastic, but that's what the manufacturer supplied. The plumber attached the strip to the tub, but it's buckled and crimped, especially at the corners (this is a 3-wall alcove installation). I discussed this with the contractor who agreed it didn't look great but thought he could make it right (with ample use of silicone caulk, I guess). The tub is now in place, with cement board installed on the walls above it, and the flange looks even worse than before: gaps between the base of the flange and the top edge of the tub. Looks like an wet accident just waiting to happen. After belatedly reading various threads here, I realize that I should never have gone with the field-installed flange. But since I have, can anyone suggest a way to retrofit this situation so that I don't end up with leaks? I'm wondering specifically if it would help to have the contractor install the Dilex-AS movement barrier *over* that part of the flange that's still visible, and then caulking over that, after the tile's been installed? I guess I should add that this is a second-floor bathroom. The contractor did attach plastic sheeting to the studs behind the cement board, but at the moment, the tub is sitting on the subfloor. I'm pretty bummed about the way things have unfolded, and will be very grateful for any suggestions. Thanks very much!

I'm planning my high school reunion and I have emails saved from the previous two reunions with information in them that I need to have access to to read and reply to. All this reunion planning is clogging up my personal email for friends and family so I set up a new email address to use just for reunion planning. While I have that inbox open, I don't have access to folders that are associated with my personal address so I'd like to transfer them over somehow. If I have to, I'll forward everything but I'm thinking there is another way.

So glad this has a happy ending! I hope he realizes what he owes your daughter-in-law, although she wouldn't ever say so herself. I hope the gentleman sends her a bouquet or box of candy.
