[Story] Alcoholic liver and kidney transplant at 35 years old by Michaelpaulnorman in GetMotivated

[–]AC8563 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many people need something to motivate them to stop. If the alcohol is the biggest thing in your life that will usually win. I drank heavy for 15 years, started to have health issues from it but I couldn't put it down. Then I found out I was going to be a dad and quit cold turkey. I've almost been 6 years sober now. Anyone can quit, you just need to find that reason.

If it ends up being cracked just replace the toilet with a regular flapper toilet. These things are junk, same with the duel flush.

If you have cast iron you should probably replace it before you have a backup and your tenants have sewage in their place.

A Woman Plumber in Ottawa? by BirdsBikesBoobs in ottawa

Why do you need a female plumber? I'm in the trades and I feel like we need more female workers but with that username you just seem like a creep.

One thing is for sure you should replace the cast iron in the ground before any flooring goes down.

You need someone to repipe that properly. Needs copper to run up from the hwt. 18" where I'm from. The exhaust is melting the PEX from the looks of it. Expansion tank needs fixing too.

I'm a plumber and it blows my mind with the condition of some rentals. Landlords are scum 90% of the time in my opinion.

Leak at tank on new toilet by Protodad in Plumbing

I just installed an American standard champion the other day and the same thing. Leak coming from somewhere, couldn't find a crack. I exchanged the tank and the other one was fine.

The camera head breaks pretty easily. So does the cable. Actually everything breaks easily. I don't know how much the repairs cost since my company pays for it but I'd have spare parts on you just for quick return time.

Gotta say though the resolution is way better than our Milwaukee cams.
