    I am going to be doing a complete bathroom remodel. I've got a good grip on most of the demolition and removal of old plumbing fixtures and vanity, etc... BUT that darn concrete shower pan and curb. I'm thinking a 5lb hammer or an air chisel should break it up into managable chunks. Any advice?

    Why is it that a fresh oil and filter change makes a person feel good? I also put on new wipers and checked all the tire pressures. Washed, waxed and detailed the interior. Man I feel good! Haven't used Mobil 1 in years so I decided to use their 5w20 and a M1 filter too. Good to go.
