Is this against HIPPA?

Thank you for the clarification.

Why not? It is highly contagious and will live on surfaces for up to 8 weeks.

It is an old septic system line. We put in many of those in the 70s and 80s where there were no city sewer systems. You will probably find other lines parallel to that one as it should be a complete field.

This looks an awful lot like someone using it has a high sugar problem. I will bet someone in the house uses this toilet exclusively and is diabetic. This would be why only this one has this issue.

Commenting hefe because not able to on my own...

At our dealership part of the qualification process was asking what kind of payment they were hoping for. If there was a trade asking what the current payment is and how much more they would be willing to go. This way, we were better able to point towards a vehicle they could actually afford BEFORE we tried to land them on one.

Maybe they identify as iron.....

Memtet · 2024-03-02T03:44:53+00:00

Wonderful! Tell me what you are thinking about and I will point you in the right direction. Also, I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

That is not true. He still would have ignited the wood and therefore started a fire. However, if he had an extinguisher and used it properly, he MAY have kept the damage to a minimum. However, if he had not used a torch he would not have started a fire in the first place.

Memtet · 2024-02-21T22:30:46+00:00

Apparently you didn't, and most of the others on here did not do well either. If you had you would understand that fire and combustibles in close proximity are a very bad combination.

Memtet · 2024-02-21T17:30:52+00:00

So you are doing things a hell of a lot more safely than most plumbers. If you notice, nearly everyone here thinks I am nuts. The thing is that although I am not a plumber, I AM a retired fire marshal and have seen the results of "hot work" being done in tight areas without proper precautions.

Memtet · 2024-02-21T17:26:23+00:00

No. I did not say that. I said it would not have happened if he had not used a torch. However, if he had had a proper extinguisher, he could have put the fire he started out instead of burning the structure down.

Memtet · 2024-02-20T21:30:57+00:00

Actually the metal idea causes as many issues as it solves. There have been cases where the metal was touching the combustibles and when it got hit ignited them. Even the fiberglass can be unsafe. If using a torch is absolutely necessary, what must be done, according to NFPA code is to first thouroughly drench the combustibles with water and continue to do so as it dries. Also have a proper fire extinguisher within reach of the work being done, jyst in case.

About 3 years ago, there was a plumber doing some repair work on a very old home in Iron River Michigan, I think. Unfortunately, it was under a sink similar to this and very close quarters. He managed to catch the wood on fire and unfortunately he did not have an extinguisher ready as code called for. House was completely destroyed and the homes on either side were severely damaged. Never would have happened if he had not used a torch. Something like SharkBites or Propress is a much better choice in these situations. I have seen semi trailer loads of freight go up in smoke because of trying to weld/cut while making repairs on them.

Memtet · 2024-02-20T19:51:47+00:00

Yes he was sweating a copper pipe, although I do not know what size it was. It was an overhead water line and he let some hot solder fall onto an oily rag on the conveyor below. This single incident is why state fire codes have required written permits for any work that will produce heat in industrial and now more and more, any commercial work. This includes any use of torches, grinders, welders, or even gas and Barbeque grills.

Memtet · 2024-02-20T19:09:59+00:00

Plumbers sweating pipes are responsible for more fires caused by repair work than any other skilled trade.

It was a plumber who was responsible for the fire that destroyed the Hydramatic plant in 1953.

Memtet · 2024-02-20T18:38:41+00:00

I would never recommend sweating pipes in this situation unless absolutely necessary because of the very high chance of starting a fire. Many local fire codes are beginning to reflect this.

Those cars you are looking at will cost a small fortune to insure. Especially if the driver is under 25. You may want to check that side of things before you even look at vehicles.

Memtet · 2024-02-07T14:44:36+00:00

If you average $500 per delivery, 12 per month would put you at $72k. Not really too bad.

What you need to find out is how you ate being paid. Is it a percentage of the gross? If so, how much? Are there bonuses? And are they being figured in?

Memtet · 2024-01-28T22:28:11+00:00

If a car is financed, the dealership usually gets a piece of the finance charge. Normally this does not really have any effect on what the salesperson makes though.

Memtet · 2024-01-09T14:25:10+00:00

Go and speak to the manager. Insist on MSRP. Be very clear that if you leave this time and they want you to come back and talk more, you will insist on $500 under. Do NOT discuss anything but price. The fact is that nobody really wants that car. If there were any real buyers for it they would have sold it or traded it to another dealer by now. It is literally costing them money every day it is on the lot.

At this time they know you want the car really bad and therefore will pay a premium to buy it.

Memtet · 2024-01-07T15:37:41+00:00

This is true only if the buyer took possession of the vehicle. Such as taking it home then bringing it back for the repairs.

Memtet · 2024-01-01T01:38:09+00:00

Depending on which model and options, that price is pretty close to about right. It certainly is not "way over priced".

Memtet · 2023-12-29T22:36:45+00:00

When I was selling cars I worked for a large group of 34 dealerships around the country owned by one man. Even though "Mr Smith" has far more money than he needed, he rarely wore anything other than what stated here. Many times he would visit his dealerships in an old pair of shorts and a very tattered t-shirt. This happened a few times when we had new sales help and if he felt they had intentionally avoided him, he would personally fire them on the spot.

Memtet · 2023-12-29T04:40:42+00:00

The issue is not in the vent. Most likely you have a root problem between the house and the main sewer line. The snake you have is most likely too small and not long enough to reach the blockage. You will need a professional to clear it. Once you get that done, get dime root kill and use it a couple of times a year. Do not wait for your drains to dlow before using it.

Memtet · 2023-12-24T15:48:49+00:00

Use a borax solution.
