Random plumbing pics

Blueskyhigh, did the installer have gigantic ears and get disgusted at the idea of "females" wearing clothing? Probably following Rules of Acquisition.

In hindsight, I should have had my wife give him an Oo-mox, or ear massage, because we all know what that does to a Ferengi.

They backfilled to bury the top of the septic tank so only the risers stick up. The deeper they dug on that project the whiter the sand got and the harder it was for it to not collapse inward.
It looked lighter in person than in photos

This was when they were partially done.

As an aside, I was watching a Perkins Builder Brothers episode on Youtube and they brought in a black plastic septic tank that looked too small for the size of the house and it looked like they were using Infiltrator Systems segments for the field lines.

Friend is renovating the bathroom of people across the street. They have been having health issues and he found out they didn't have a working bathroom so he's been helping them out. He did drywall today.

And vinyl tile

This is the vanity that will go in. Obviously the top is not on correctly yet.

When my air handler was removed I was able to take photos inside the air circulation compartment. Still have the old PVC and CPVC going up to the water heater. The corroded copper under is the refrigerant line. I don't think it is leaking from there since it would most likely leak at a joint and nothing has gone in there to damage the pipe.

Does new stuff for HVAC in terms of pipe layout count as plumbing? LOL.

This shows where the condensate line goes underneath. Looks like there are some mini studs in the way of where I want to put the new grille. So either we need to keep the location in my brother's room or need to move some studs a little. There's support directly under the water heater so hopefully that won't be a problem.


I need to vacuum inside that compartment.

Vanity top is on backwards!

You didn’t read her post did you Jeffery ?

I did, see that's the joke.

Thankfully, comedy is my backup plan, trying to learn about plumbing is my primary role here.

LOL, Jeff, that was the very first thing I noticed and I was like "Well, the top hasn't been installed yet" and friend said it's actually upsidedown. Friend said the vinyl flooring is very thick. Said he's going to use my toilet jack to move the toilet and finish the flooring where the toilet goes.


I'll have to dig up earlier pics but that bathroom was dark, dingy, moldy, and gross before my friend fixed it up. The guy had a heart attack or something and they had not had a working bathroom for a year and the wife was super stressed all the time. Their marriage has improved and both are much happier with my friend helping them. He's a good dude. Sadly, they don't know me so I don't get to go paint. LOL.
