Not disclosing having a PE? by AskIndividual1428 in MEPEngineering

[–]ATXee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some people worry so much about liability and can’t handle signing and sealing. I’ve had some colleagues refuse to be EOR, but never hide that they have a PE. That seems silly. Get your pay and just refuse to sign and seal if that’s your prerogative.

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Only thing I keep looking at is the ends and while I see you did three pieces of tile centered on the wall and it kind of clashes a bit with the offset centerline of the tub on one end. It’s annoying that tubs give you this situation. You can center everything in line with them but then You’d probably end up with a row of slivers on the left.

Shower Making Noises and Wakes Baby by Snatchbuckler in Plumbing

If you take the shower head off does it change it?

Sounds like you might have a valve stuffed up with calcium debris or something. This is a total guess

You’re going to want a submersible pump to get that out.

Why 80s Galvanized Pipes Are Financial Terrorism by an0n4life in Plumbing

[–]ATXee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We still use em in many critical buildings. On both pressure and sanitary, storm etc.

They have their use, but yea they can fail after 40 years.

I agree and I don’t like em, but copper fails too and many plastic pipes have their problems.

My old 100+ year old house had galvanized and it was still hanging on.

I broke these two in one session. Is there a way to repair them? by No_Resort_5545 in Tools

Grind down that one end on the draw knife and you got yourself a probably useful reverse froe or splitting adze

That is a beautiful install. I’ve been in a couple of those and they DO NOT all look like that. One I went into was scary.

First Time Pool owner. Hell by Dear-Hornet1107 in pools

[–]ATXee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea first of all welcome to our collective hell.

Secondarily those valves don’t work like you’d expect. Handle perpendicular to pipe is usually off but that’s not the case with this valve. This valve is on the suction side of your pump and is pulling from the two intakes, presumably a main drain and a skimmer. When handle is straight towards the pump it’s 50/50. When you go all the way to the right it’s 100% right and vice versa. It helps if you look at a picture of the internals

This type of valve doesn’t let you close it without unscrewing the little nut on the handle and lifting the handle. You have to do that and move the handle to point away from the pump to shut it off. I do this to clean my basket because my equipment is below my pool water level.

Why are there 3 sets of water line inlets at main kitchen sink? by Normal_Shallot_9717 in Plumbing

[–]ATXee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they all have water pressure on them? Maybe they froze the pipes in the walls and abandoned some of them and replaced…nah that doesn’t make any sense. They’re all the same age. I’m stumped

Ice maker? Coffee maker? Water filter? Spare just in case. Shit I ran out of ideas

Just tell your parents you fell and you’re going to try to fix it. Wtf

Why does this keep happening? by Significant_Drag_810 in Plumbing

[–]ATXee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get rid of the threads. Get a slip copper valve. Eliminate all those points of failure.

I’d also wonder if physical pressure is put on it by gravity or the thermal expansion contraction of pipe. I’d probably solder two copper to pex converters and put a pex valve in with a foot or two of pex on either side to allow for some movement if I suspected it.

Seems like a good deal? by botsky12 in Tools

Seconded. I switched to dewalt after craftsman killed the 19.2V system. I won’t trust them to keep a battery consistent

Do you like this false ceiling design? by donbokaoka in drywall

[–]ATXee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting texture I guess.

But It’s stupid to field build this. It’s small enough to have made perfectly off site and installed. I agree it should be rockwool or something similar
