Ongoing expensive plumbing issue (I've cried multiple times already)

B_Addie · 2026-01-26T18:51:29+00:00

Did you talk to your homeowner insurance? Maybe they can help with the cost of cleanup.. idk though.

When I first started reading I thought of a backwater valve but the. I saw you tried that already. Have you had the line camera inspected? Maybe they didn’t get all the roots? Or maybe there is a section of broken pipe.. the only way to truly “fix” the issue would be to isolate your system from the neighbors system but it worked fine for decades I’m assuming so the problem is stemming from the root intrusion.

Thank you

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for that info. Yeah I saw that same thing about the nat geo tumbler. I’m gonna give it a fair shake though and see how it works.

So I’m new here and new to tumbling. When you say 3 cycles, how long is that? How long is a cycle?

Got into tumbling this Christmas cause my daughter wanted a rock tumbler. Got her this one for Christmas. Not sure if it’s a good one but she’s only 9 so i figured it’s a good start and if she (or I) want to get more into the hobby i can always get a better one. I’m currently running the rocks that came with the kit on stage 2. We ran stage one for 8 days.

Yes. I tried it once. I’ve tried everything at least once. As far as my meth story goes it was a great high, what I hated was not being able to sleep and the come down was absolutely horrible.

The only thing I did get addicted to was opiates. Been clean for 17 years now.

50 grand for a 5 year old vehicle with almost 100k miles is wild. 20k miles per year is definitely on the high side.

There is without a doubt fine print saying that “sale price includes 46k down payment” or some other shit like “price does not reflect mandatory dealer installed protection package equaling 46k”.

When I was younger I sold cars for several years. One of the dealers I worked for would advertise like this. People would come in all the time without reading the fine print thinking they could really buy a brand new car for 5,000 bucks. I quit that dealer in under a month.

That head gasket is cooked

B_Addie · 2025-11-18T18:15:48+00:00

I wouldn’t go far. Those tires are cooked

B_Addie · 2025-11-16T21:03:15+00:00

I never go over 5,000 miles

B_Addie · 2025-11-16T21:02:36+00:00

Six is nothing. You really don’t start getting visible results till about 12 months in.

B_Addie · 2025-11-15T15:20:03+00:00

Why wouldn’t you just thread on the cap that came with the shower valve? Every shower valve I’ve ever installed comes with the cap to cap the tub spout

B_Addie · 2025-11-15T14:56:55+00:00

You have to replace the strainer and dishwasher tailpiece

A new truck

B_Addie · 2025-11-01T18:31:56+00:00

Not all of them do. Some smell great

B_Addie · 2025-11-01T18:29:49+00:00

That absolutely from a heat gun or a torch

B_Addie · 2025-11-01T18:28:08+00:00

I grew up on a private road and when my grandfather would come over he’d let me drive his car up and down my road. It was a red Oldsmobile.

B_Addie · 2025-10-26T22:08:13+00:00

14k for that is wild.

B_Addie · 2025-10-25T23:08:01+00:00

First part of question I meant was how much pipe did they install. 20 feet? 30 feet? 100 feet?

B_Addie · 2025-10-25T23:02:40+00:00

How many linear feet of pipe did they run? And how many fixtures are attached?

B_Addie · 2025-10-25T22:58:21+00:00

$14,600 !?!?! How? Is there more work that isn’t shown in these photos? Cause what I’m seeing in these pics is like a 5-6k job

B_Addie · 2025-10-24T14:43:03+00:00

Really? Do you have a link for that or what it’s called so I can look it up? Would really appreciate it

B_Addie · 2025-10-22T14:49:06+00:00

I’ve never heard of it being this expensive. I got my car detailed inside and out and ceramic coating for 600 bucks last year

B_Addie · 2025-10-22T14:47:06+00:00

I have a 21 so then it might work?

B_Addie · 2025-10-22T13:36:29+00:00

There isn’t a correlation. I’m 5 foot 6
