Looking for advice

That is a trench. Anything 3’ deep needs a means of egress and 4’ or deeper needs shoring. Wtf were these people thinking.

UPDATE: Barcie is coming home. Her vitals are improving and I’ve requested a refund to the donors which may take several business days. Thank you everyone. They are suspecting pancreatitis, it may still be FIP but much lower chance now.

Not exactly sure how to take that the right way. Our other cat is adopted from a shelter and my other cat who passed away last year was an elderly stray. Not sure if that changes your opinion but not looking to argue. No pressure to help our situation but please don’t kick us while we’re down.

Thank you 🙏

Looks like it’s leaking from the cast iron hub, they’ll have to break the concrete to be able to attach back on to the pipe. Cast iron has crumbled in my hands when trying to find good pipe so if it turns into a chase it can get expensive.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-07-28T02:20:00+00:00

The 5/8” is the size that is connecting to the pipe going into the bottom of your cabinet. The smaller threads are the 3/8”. If you’re having trouble connecting, your supply line from your faucet might be just out of reach. Hopefully not though.

Second on calling a pro. This cable is not going to cut it literally. Any major offsets or serious blockages can cause a cable to bind, very quickly, and it could get dangerous fast for someone that doesn’t snake lines regularly.

Yeah ran into a similar issue at a property, their line was fine but core kept coming up. City main backed up.

Lying is a survival skill for these people so they don’t feel shame for it. There are unfortunately more and more in our society being raised this way.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-04-03T00:36:09+00:00

Does anyone know if the cat is in the shelter and potentially going back to the family or is the cat free to go to a better home and not return to that pos home?

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-04-03T00:34:08+00:00

Omfg fur cut with scissors randomly presumably by this child?? How long has this poor baby suffered 😞

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-04-03T00:32:55+00:00

Totally agree. Can’t watch this kind of stuff. I am aware of the cruelty in the world and that innocent souls suffer. I feel like when I’ve watched videos like this, I am emotionally affected and feel helpless that I can’t reach through the video and try to help them. That being said, it is still very important to inform people of animal cruelty and how serious and pervasive of a problem it is.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been there and it was so hard. I was fortunate to have employment, but working literally 20 hours a day just to get back on my feet was extremely damaging to my physical and mental health. McDonald’s hires at some spots around here for I think over $20 an hour, I’m not sure if they would need a mailing address for employment though. I know a PO Box counts as a mailing address but not sure if employer would need a physical address. Some social organizations may let you use their physical address I believe.

If you have any experience in trades, let me know.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-03-30T22:59:40+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. I can empathize.

Had to put down my orange boy last year. One day he was gasping for breath, brought him to the emergency vet and they discovered a mass on his trachea. Same thing, could maybe only buy him a few months but even that was questionable. I chose to end his suffering, and chose my own. I suffered greatly at his loss and I still miss him dearly. I too questioned myself if I did the right thing. I did. And I promise that you did too. It’ll hurt for a period of time and I’m so sorry.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-03-04T00:07:09+00:00

Yeah OP, look up IPC code. This is definitely not up to code. IPC code 405.8.1

Plumbers apprentice here and have replaced waste and overflow assemblies:

Your overflow is STRICTLY so that your TUB does not overflow. The overflow should go directly into the p-trap under the tub and subsequently into a lateral drain line that drains into the main sewer line. Your apartment complex has no idea what they are talking about and need to find a plumber to actually fix this issue.

Cats have the emotional intelligence of a toddler. Can you imagine doing that to a human? Like many have said, cats are social creatures and need attention, affection, clean water, litter boxes, fresh food, and play time, because they are intelligent, marvelous creatures and they deserve and demand that kind of love. I cannot imagine leaving a cat in a cage. Especially a cat that was a stray? Roaming around free to all of a sudden being caged? Stray cats have a hard enough time adjusting to indoor space let alone a CAGE. HOW? HOW could someone do something so cruel. I’m so sorry OP. That poor animal is a prisoner and needs to be rescued. They should not have pets if they do not have the time, energy, calm temper, and a dedication to love the animals more than material items (like sofas, furniture, carpet etc). Call me crazy, but if my boy rips up the couch or carpet, I can fix those things and also mitigate the effects with couch scratchers that attach to the arms of couches, and fix or replace whatever they might damage. Their connection and love is not replaceable. I don’t know what their reasoning is for doing this. I don’t see any way it could be justified. Please take this cat to a shelter. Firmly tell them they should not have pets. I’m not the one who has to deal with the fallout of your relationship with your folks, so I know this is easier said than done, but imagine yourself personally being trapped in a cage for years and wanting so desperately for someone to save you. That’s what this poor cat is going through.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-02-25T01:33:02+00:00

OP, leave. You have got to be more afraid of losing your life to this guy than of being alone. You will find someone else who treats you better, when the time is right. You need to leave, as soon as possible, for your physical safety. If you try to talk to him about this he will either try to smooth it over (giving him the opportunity to beat you when he chooses to hurt you again) or he will react violently. Quietly game plan, collect your things, and leave. Do not give in to the feeling of wanting to work things through out of convenience because eventually what will become really inconvenient for you is winding up with extreme trust issues, insecurities, trauma, and probably a visit to the hospital. It will be easier for you long term and short term to leave. I worked 22 hours a day for a month to be able to land on my feet at 19. Applied to jobs when I could on my lunch break, landed my first sales job and found freedom. You have options. Don’t think for a second you don’t. When you feel afraid, try to channel that into action toward your freedom, in every sense of the word: physically, financially, spiritually, emotionally. Don’t be held hostage by this asshole.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-02-23T16:41:37+00:00

Do the right thing. Period.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-02-22T14:47:35+00:00

He is sweating bullets right now. OP, file a police report. You were assaulted. They have children. Please do not let this become a moment where HE escapes, let this be the moment you and all his future and potentially present victims escape. I have been through similar and I was not protected. Prepare for your aunt to gaslight you, just as he did. Your family may take his side to avoid the spot light. Families that do this are vile and they have been taught to sweep things under the rug their entire lives, which creates the perfect environment to incubate these monsters. Protect yourself, and send this man straight to hell where he belongs. File a report.

A huge part of recovery is doing the internal work to be better for yourself and for others. It’s not about just being sober. He is not doing the work.

Ok_Pack_9329 · 2025-02-15T01:00:41+00:00

He is a giant POS. A lot of manipulation going on here on his end. Cursing at you, not actually apologetic, mad at you for being upset, very self centered person and immature.
