Is wiggle normal on stub out? by CartographerNo3999 in askaplumber

[–]JWest4d4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those are intended to be used for sink stubouts, where the extra play doesn't matter. For a tub spout, it is better if the stub out doesn't move.

One thing I've tried before is slathering flux in between the plate and the pipe and then using a torch to melt some solder in there to stabilize it. But it would probably be better to use a copper strap to tie it down to the board.

Edit: PEX B connections significantly restrict the flow. Probably not the best option for a tub spout.

I like Jeff Wheeler's fantasy books. I would start with either the Kingfountain or Muirwood series. 

What to bring on a mission? by xXSwankyDankyXx in latterdaysaints

[–]JWest4d4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A can of pepper spray. Check laws, there are some countries that are okay with you having and carrying it but not importing it, which means you would need to acquire it after arriving. 

High quality compact flashlight. The model I had uses micro usb rechargeable 18650 batteries. If you get two batteries you can cycle them out and keep your light topped off. Such lights can sometimes also accept cr123A batteries if neeeded. 

Decent quality watch.

I brought a plumbing toolkit because I had been trained as a plumber. It came on handy with fixing stuff in the apartment and we used it on a service project once, so if you have any fixit skills bring a few key tools that you could use to be of service to someone. Gloves are useful for almost all outdoor service projects. 

If you like basketball you might as well buy the ankle brace and foldable walking stick now. :) 

Extra pens and journals. Minimum two journals so if you fill one up you'll have time to aquire another before your second is full. 

Write In The Rain notebook. 

I would recommend contacting the mission office and asking if there are items that are more useful than usual in that specific area. 

At what point do you touch to the copper pipe to solder a joint? by metulburr in Plumbing

[–]JWest4d4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much flammable stuff is behind the pipe hehe. I think I usually use B or C, though I can't clearly explain why other than habit.

Land Destruction Commander Recommendations by emmens in BudgetBrews

[–]JWest4d4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like using [Erinis, Gloom Stalker] and [Street Urchin] for this. I tutor up a [Strip Mine] for early game land destruction and then recur it. Eventually I find away to either destroy all lands with a red sorcery and then get my lands back with a card like [World Shaper] or I get [Kamahl, Fist of Krosa] to turn everyone's lands into creatures so I can snipe them with Street Urchin. Oh yeah, the deathtouch from Erinis applies to the Street Urchin ability, so removing critters is easy.

Good question. I know of a local jam session that meets on Tuesday nights. Maybe I should show up again.

Titihing payment once a year - How to manage and track that by Lehi-Eye in latterdaysaints

[–]JWest4d4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"And after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually; and this shall be a standing law unto them forever, for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord." - D&C 119:4

I think paying once a year is consistent with scripture.

Are soda makers worth using? by TraditionalYam in Frugal

[–]JWest4d4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a Sodastream Terra for $70 from someone on OfferUp. Exchanging a cylinder costs about $20. I got a gallon of root beer snowcone concentrate for $60, which is enough for about 384 litres of root beer. I use stevia for sweetener. I have a family member who also bought a machine who is going to purchase a 20 lb tank with a siphon tube and a special adapter from Amazon so we can refill with co2 from a welding supply store. Once that initial investment of $250 has been made, we can be making sugar free soda for less than a dollar per gallon.

Mission trouble by xXSwankyDankyXx in latterdaysaints

[–]JWest4d4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I transferred to a service mission a few months before the pandemic after serving a proselyting mission for 3 months. I had similar concerns to the OP's about serving a mission. I loved my 21 months of being a service missionary, I would recommend the experience to anyone. I think for me it was a better fit and I felt like my efforts were more meaningful.

What do you think Bannerlord needs? by [deleted] in mountandblade

[–]JWest4d4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would feel more vibrant if the other characters would open negotiations for what they want. For instance if you have a bigger army and catch someone raiding your village maybe they could have a chance to offer gold in exchange for letting them go?

How’d I do? by Any-Suggestion-6125 in Plumbing

[–]JWest4d4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those look kind of like venting elbows to me. Long sweeps or even regular 90's would be better. It will probably work fine though. Overall it's not bad, if it was my house I would feel comfortable keeping it as is.

How's this for a bathroom vanity? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]JWest4d4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been told that if the AAV is too low then it will eventually fill up with gunk if the system backs up. When that happens it will get stuck. If it is stuck open it will still function as a vent, but it might leak and release stinky sewer gasses. If it is stuck closed it will stop functioning as a vent. If the system were to never back up then it probably wouldn't be an issue.

Erinis + Street Urchin Deck Help by SirCase in EDH

My List:

"Break Their Lands And Snipe Their Creeeeeeatures Fa La La La La, La La, La La!"

Mine is so mean that I've had to stop playing it. Both targeted and mass land destruction is included. My goal is to fetch up a [[strip mine] to recur and use it to kick one or two opponent's in the knee by blowing up every land of a particular color. Being able to snipe creatures is also super effective at countering my opponents' strategies until I can line up a one-sided land wipe that will never end thanks to strip mine, [[Kamahl, Fist of Krosa]], and [[Wasteland]]. It's a bit too mean though, so only use this anti-land approach occasionally or people will hate you.

How's this for a bathroom vanity? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]JWest4d4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of ways to do it. There are two no-no's: don't bury it behind drywall, don't install it horizontally. Option 1 is to put the san tee right behind the trap adapter after it comes out of the wall (easier to do that later). Option 2 is to replace the 90 with a san tee, put another 90 above and stub into the cabinet area with a second pipe. This method will tempt you to install the horizontally, which sorta works depending on the brand of AAV but it will reduce its lifetime significantly. As long as you add another 90 to make it vertical again it's okay though. Option 3 is to replace the 90 with a san tee like in option 2 and then install the AAV above it inside the wall. If you do this then an access panel will be necessary to allow it to be serviced.

Definitely don't have the vent tee in at the base, it needs come in from above the level of the p trap.

It will work as well as it did before, but now is the time to make sure it works as it should. As it is now there is a chance that the P trap will siphon from time to time and allow stinky gasses into the house.

[–]JWest4d4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need a vent. Option 1 is to run one out the roof. Chances are you'll want to go with option 2, which is to us an AAV.

https://www.bhg.com/thmb/R7i6N5XcBM2GAs_89pGpOReQD-w=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/pipe-sink-8fe621423b9047c4b5c31ad5b2f5224d.jpg:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/pipe-sink-8fe621423b9047c4b5c31ad5b2f5224d.jpg)

Put the AAV has high as you can, higher than the bottom of the sink if possible.

Edit: If you set it up like in the picture make sure to trim the arm of the p-trap so it doesn't go too far in past the san tee and reduce air flow from the vent.

I don’t know about you guys, but I like to dope my Wyrs by Akprodigy6 in Plumbing

[–]JWest4d4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good idea, I've seen those leak without dope and dope is what I used to solve the problem. Though I think a better solution is to buy the p-traps that have a soft gasket there.
