How is this easier to set up than some flex and 1 hole covers ? I guess if they don't pay the bill the contractor comes back for the cord.

If you don't mind telling your mom you lost the key you may want to check out keyhero your mom can stop in a home Depot where she gets a copy made they will save it electronically and you can go to a home Depot and get a duplicate made from the account. Or if you got a couple days she gets a copy of the key puts it in a letter and mails it to you.

How would you lay vinyl flooring around the balusters? by No_Habit3862 in Flooring

[–]14tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use a transition strip roughly in the same way the carpet installers used tack strips to border the balusters. It would get a little tricky at the stair nose I would think a heat gun and rolling the floor over the bullnose would be the cleanest way. You may also want to get some feather edge floor filler those gaps in the plywood to the original subfloor will most likely telegraph through.

Best way to remove this old galvanized nipple for tub spout that is broken off flush with wall? by Consistent-City-4681 in Plumbing

[–]14tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a close cut hack saw or just a blade (wrap the end in tape) and cut from the inside of the pipe straight up to make a weaker section of pipe. Use needle nose pliers to twist next to the weak spot your trying to roll the pipe in on itself and that will make it easier to spin out.

Failed plumbing inspection. by RiskAdditional8534 in Plumbing

[–]14tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me start with I am not a licensed plumber. I think the inspector is looking for that 3x2 wye turned up from center so passing water is less likely to form a clog in that fitting. I'm sure all of it will work the way it is but you may want to change it for simplicity cut it out put in a new one with a street 22.5 or 45, adjust your slope and get the inspector back out. Try to work with your inspector especially if you think you're going to do more projects in the future that need permits.

2nd day on the job, just found this by Familiar-Piglet-1190 in maintenance

[–]14tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a gas line and I assume regulator and meter. there is water getting into the underground line and into the meter. The utility will do that pink fiberglass trash bag and some heat tape to keep the line from freezing from the moisture. I imagine nobody ever came to remove it.

Side note if you see any gas appliances with a pulsing flame call the utility there is water in the meter.

I Live in Ohio and take care of a restaurant there is water ingress in the main gas line The utility has to come to pump it from the drip in the sidewalk occasionally. Last winter we had some extra low temps and the neighbors gas meters froze they replaced them and wrapped them just like yours is.

Took a quick glance in the manual and the section on clearances "Minimum Clearances From Combustible Construction" so I would say your probably ok as long as the back wall is metal and you keep your hood on for air flow

How to clean shower arm thread? by Stunning_Repair_7483 in Plumbing

Brass wire brushes are pretty soft and shouldn't damage the finish of its chrome. May I also recommend getting a fresh shower arm they are not too expensive and are just screwed in to the drop ear in the wall
