I wonder if ten or twenty years down the road we’ll be hearing about all the side effects of foam insulation. My mother reminded me years ago that margarine was supposedly healthier than butter. Well we know that was proven incorrect after a few years. Lol. Anyway I’m sticking with a wood...
Thanks. I thought so but as I am ordering valves before framing I wanted to be sure. Will I be able to use rain head and hand held shower head at the same time?
