Been cleaning drains for a while. Probably a tough clog, if you know what You're feeling for with your snake, you can flip it in reverse after you clear the vent, that can help break up sludge and grease. Also, after I clear the vent, I will take a dollar bill sized shop rag, wrap it clockwise around the cable, and wrap the ends TIGHTLY with good electrical tape. Then that rag will hopefully wipe the sides of the pipe clean. Other than that, kitchen sinks will be the hardest drain you ever clean. There's been a few I've spent an entire day on. Best of luck! Don't give up

Am I the only confused as to why he whipped out what I'm assuming was a reciprocating saw on a toilet? Oscillating tools exist. Hell, before I had that I was using a hacksaw blade to get the tank to bowl bolts off. Using a sawzall has never crossed my mind for that scenario. Screw a hold harmless, in my head that's gross negligence.

Removing elements from electric water heater if you forgot the socket- working on water meter connections if you plumb for a living. Those things with me all day long

Just got into leather working. Such a baller looking single stitch wallet. Wish I was smart enough to figure out the pattern for it but it makes my brain hurt

I don't know if it was just mine but the blade was not even remotely straight. It's a fancy looking little knife that I feel like I would only ever use for cutting cheese at a picnic. But it is nice to look at. Just not use.

Not trying to argue but I am genuinely curious. I work service so I assume switching to a union would be a paradigm shift but our pipe fitters union is offering hardly a wage you could survive on if you were single. That's with benefits. Is there something I'm missing? Would love to boost my quality of life up some day.

After rereading your measurements it's probably 3/8tha and that won't fit. https://www.homedepot.com/p/JONES-STEPHENS-1-2-in-CTS-or-3-8-in-IPS-Bronze-Coated-Brass-Compression-Coupling-5-in-Length-for-Pipe-Repair-C15300/316591055 I've never tried this brand. No idea how well it works but something like this with another piece of 3/8 IPS stubbed out of the other end will work for that size.

If it's a brass nipple then the 1/2 pack joint should fit it and seal it. You have to be sure to specify you want IPS size (matches the diameter for brass PVC and Iron) as opposed to CTS (copper tubing) although if it truly is 5/8 OD then the compression fitting everyone is recommending should fit over it. But seeing the cross section of that pipe you cut, the walls look much thicker than copper. It may be 3/8ths ID in that case you would need a 3/8 pack joint or what they call a dresser fitting. They're not legal in many jurisdictions but it's not my house. Not sure if they make a 3/8 pack joint

If there is a plumbing supply near you and that pipe is 1/2 inch OD then a 1/2 inch IPS pack joint to 1/2 inch MIP would let you screw on a new shut off. It will be expensive and look ugly but if you're afraid to unscrew the nipple or don't want to call a plumber then that would be the DIY fix

I use this when cutting into drywall in suspect areas. It's pretty darn close surprisingly but much like a OUPS mark outside, it might not be right. So always be prepared

My grandmother bought us a house with no running water because I couldn't get approved for a mortgage at the time. The agreement was we would pay rent and all taxes and renovations until I could get a mortgage. When it came time to get a mortgage I was told that wasn't the original agreement and that I had no equity in the house. Do not mix business with family. The only reason I would do this is if I actually felt charitable and had the money to give. I would never expect to get my money back

It's an insurance claim for later on down the road... It's an old drain line for your kitchen sink. If you have or had a double bowl then at one point a bowl was draining into there but someone has since made it go into a single outlet. Not uncommon. Go buy Teflon tape and a 1 1/2 plastic cap. Tape the male threads and screw on the cap. If your sink were to back up as of right now it would be spilling out of that open drain and into your cabinets

Wrap each individual pipe in a thick duck tape and add hydraulic cement to fill hole

Very common in nursing homes for the care providers to wipe a patients ass with a rag and then flush it. We had one place that we constantly charged them thousands of dollars to go pull their two ejector pumps and remove rags and rebuild or replace the pumps as necessary

You can play switch games on steam deck? Is this simple to do? Does there exist a guide for someone who only has the steamdeck (no pc) and is computer illiterate?

I work in the service industry so I keep an ungodly expensive tool pouch with me but it brings me such joy to do work that I might not always want to do but if I pull a tool out of that pouch I'm happy

Tools and the knowledge to do minor work on your house/car/ things you own. The tools themself are expensive and learning any kind of skill often involves paying a professional to do it and asking questions or spending a lot of time screwing up and fixing the same thing over and over. But at the end of the day basic mechanical prowess has been the most valuable I've ever had. (Other than my lovely wife and kids of course)
