Highlights of ShowHouse by Moen's Fina collection include the lavatory faucet, which features a high-arc spout and contemporary-style base. But it's also as versatile as it is stylish. The wall-mount lavatory faucets incorporate a flow-optimized aerator, allowing the faucet to flow at a rate of 1.5 gallons per minute. A Roman tub faucet, handshower, rainshower and other accessories complete the suite.

Take a bite outta wires
![](https://www.proremodeler.com/sites/default/files/articles/images/PRX/20090101/prx0901rapid.jpg)
The original Rapid Shark, made by Rapid Tools, was the first utility knife with a wire stripper (patents pending worldwide) for AWF 10-18 wires. It now has a bigger brother in the new Big Bite Rapid Shark, which has stripping holes for larger AWG 6-12 wires. You'll get the same precision bite with a big, bad appetite.

I see it!

In addition to being able to see in a wall, the SeeSnake comes with three little attachments that clip on the camera end. It sports a small magnet for metal objects, a mirror for seeing around corners Saving Private Ryan-style and a clip for pulling wires.

Tight as a snare drum

Score big leed points

The Big Block panels are bear-hugged together, with steel connecting the panels and a web of steel embedded and welded in the foam. Nothing's breaking that grip.

Opening up
We hate working around floor joists. Installing plumbing, duct work and wiring normally requires cutting holes in the joists to complete the work. It takes time and, if done incorrectly, can result in red tag delays. Thanks to the open configuration of iLevel by Weyerhaeuser's iLevel Trus Joist TJO, you can run pipes, ducts and wires through the joist.

Caught in the moment
![](https://www.proremodeler.com/sites/default/files/articles/images/PRX/20090101/prx0901simpson.jpg)
You can't put a price on strength! Stronger than site-built or factory-built shearwalls, Simpson Strong-Tie's Moment Frames allow larger openings and smaller wall sections while offering the high load values that some additions need. This should help your guys in the field because moment frames always have been time- and labor-intensive to install.
