Frying pan splatter screen vs lid for bacon?
I love crispy bacon but hate the splatter mess. Lid makes it soggy, so would a frying pan splatter screen keep it crisp while controlling the grease flying out?

Best access panel size for shower valve?
Planning to tile my shower and need an access panel for the mixing valve. The rough-in is about 8×10 inches. Is it better to go with a 10×14 panel to have some extra space or stick closer to the actual size? Also, do the cheap ones from big box stores hold up or should I order something better online?

I usually go 2–4 inches bigger all around so you have room to actually reach in without scraping your knuckles every time. 10×14 should be perfect for most shower valves. The super cheap plastic ones can warp or crack after a couple years in a wet environment. I bought this one last summer after a bad experience with a $10 panel – solid build, metal door, strong magnets, no issues so far even with daily steam: https://www.amazon.com/Access-Panel-Drywall-Plumbing-Durable/dp/B085617TBL?tag=contractorhub-20 Easy to cut the opening slightly larger if needed and it looks clean. Definitely saved me headaches on the next service call.
