Teddy kgb Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 This stuff is gravy compared to crawling under someone's house to do plumbing work.It’s harder then you might think......that’s 14” pipe you see in that trench and you ain’t lifting that even with a team of guys... I set the pieces in place and drove them in with a digging bar, that was after cutting the trench and bedding with sand, the crew will be on the ass end of shovels along with running a dirt whacker tomorrow during backfill I take most my time off during backfill days because it’s just a bunch of meatheads putting dirt back in a hole so I’ll be using up some of those hours I saved at the local pub....

Teddy kgb Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 That’s not 14” roundThe comby in the ditch is a 12x8 with an 12x8 bushing on the ass end, but further down the line it increases to 14” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housepicks Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yeah I can tell all that by looking at it. And your stack is 3” And you said “thats 14” pipe you see in that trench” But it’s not 14” You guys don’t pour lead. You use pvc and mission couplings as vent. You California boys ain’t shit.

Teddy kgb Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 The only problem I see with Tedward’s solution is his co-worker see him taking shortcuts on the jobI don’t show everyone and those that I do, I explain why we do it and when it’s not ok.... But I hear what you’re saying....I showed a guy a pipe weld trick by cutting a window in and welding from the inside out when in a pinch......we went to another job together years later and he had more windows in the piping then the building had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I hired a plumber to install a bathroom in the upstairs of the shop.There was some existing plumbing already inside of the wall.Well he decides to splice a piece of copper pipe to make it look like the entire piece was an inch I believe to make it look like it was up to code without telling me.The building inspector catches this and freaks out.Surprisingly he went brankrupt a couple years latter which is hard to do in our economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy kgb Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Dingo, I have a similar story.... I charged a guy $500 (cheap) to install a clean out over his toilet at his business, I go with the industry standard height and first swing into the wall I hit an exsisting clean out that was buried in the wall.... I stayed in the restroom for about 45min before walking out and saying ‘your all set’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
