Kohler shower faucet not letting in enough hot water

Hello,

I recently installed a Kohler Florez faucet in my shower and removed the temperature stop. However, I cannot get even moderately hot water until the handle is turned nearly to the end of the range. As such, there is very little room to make the water hotter if I am in the shower for more than 5 minutes - resulting in a lukewarm shower beyond that. All of our other faucets I get extremely hot water, so it's not our water heater (set to 128 degrees). Any ideas? Thank you.

To U-Channel or Not to U-Channel?

Hello,

We are getting quotes for a custom glass shower enclosure - one wall with the door and the adjacent wall will be half glass over a pony wall. The capstone on the pony wall has a lip - this was intentional to provide a deep enough shelf for toiletries.

We've gotten two quotes so far and the glaziers employ completely different techniques - one uses u-channels to hold the glass that are screwed to the top of the capstone (and sealed with silicone and gaskets). That glazier cuts a slot into the lip of the capstone to fit the door wall that runs adjacent. The other glazier cautioned us about screwing anything into a horizontal surface because no matter how well you think you seal it, water finds a way. He also said he wouldn't dare cut into a capstone and instead has glass cut to fit around the lip. So, which is correct? I've seen both ways promoted by tradesmen and each says the other is wrong!

Vegan Omega Supplements (DHA + EPA)

Hello, I have been taking Ovega for several years, but it appears to be discontinued. Does anyone here know of a vegan omega supplement that has been third-party tested? Thank you.
