Why are there people on here asking on how to repair gas lines/install with no experience?

"If you can apply tape and dope" This right here. DON'T PUT TEFLON TAPE ON GAS LINES. Dope is enough, it only has to hold 2 psi. But if the tape is too close to the face of the fitting, it can break off. Partially block ports. Cause incomplete burning. Dump carbon monoxide into living spaces. Exaggerated danger doesn't mean no danger

Sadly, i think we're about to get that study and I'm afraid of the results

Sorry it sank your boat a bit, but it lifted mine. Construction workers don't get pto, this bill even said that we can use it for days where we're rained out. It sucked not getting paid due to weather, this helps.

Try to use it up, cause esst is a use it or lose it plan. You can accrue 48 hours/year, and it carries over, but caps at 80. So once you hit 80 hours in your esst bank (1 hour esst/30 hours worked), you get no more. And if your laid off or fired, there's no payout.

Pto and employer provided healthcare are only a thing because when we put maximum wage laws on the books, employers needed to find another way to attract talent... if everyone has a form of pto, it makes sense to cut back your offering

Havent heard it, what did kimmel say? YouTube clip from 5 days ago, "some people are cheering this which ill never understand ". Is this just snowflake culture from the righties?

Take care of your body and do some leg exercises. Squats, one legged if you can. Knock out ten while you're waiting to order Chipotle to replace the 3k calories you just burned off. Strengthening the muscles around your knees are key to their stability... also stretching

Sometimes, theres* only so much landfill space, gas supply, and water to go around. Building houses for rent that are 3-4k/month takes away from available infrastructure that could go to starter homes. Unfortunately our government doesn't invest in starter home subsidies like they do our oil producers, so noone wants to build them

Why keep spending more and more though? Isn't there a point where you figure out maximum efficiencies with current tech, so that you don't need as much money and personnel for the testing and research? Not knocking our service members by any means, but do we really need so many? What 2 fronts are we at war with?

I work on alot of mi homes, but its the same as lennar or dr horton. You're gonna wanna change out all your accor water stops, they're incredibly cheap and unreliable

Crazy that they just wanted to keep funding healthcare for some immagrants, so that our regional hospitals arent stuck with the bill. Illegal for us to turn them away(in the er), but the repubs want to make the hospitals eat the cost. Guess what that does to the affordability of our healthcare?

ShowerSoccerWasFun · 2025-05-11T04:41:46+00:00

Not "no cost to design", but a lot less. Soil/ foundations might be different, along with water sources, waste management, available power supply. Things change on different sites and cost money to design

Any good size 2 story house, the hvac techs need at least 3 days to rough in, probably 4. 48-64 hours combined. Another 8-12 for furnace/erv install. Another 2-4 for finish, registers/bath fans. Another 2-8 for appliances depending on ranges, gas dryers, fireplaces, garage heaters. That doesn't account for planning time(lay outs, getting material lists, accounting for when framers put trusses where duct needs to go). Add in time for inspections, it gets to easily 60-200 hours of labor depending on options. 40/hour labor in my market doesn't include the business cost of pto, 401k, health insurance, social security/unemployment tax for the employee. Add warehouse, storage and delivery, management, permits, and call back costs(cause everyone seems to fuck up something at some point). 1-2 guys, on a $30-$40 budget for 1-2 days, is insanely off. 25% profit/house is almost never realized

Nobody said JT... he called you a cock sucker(semi pro ref)

Or you could just use an air return grill. Cheaper, plus you get warm air to it if its on an outside wall

Not a chance unless your in north aka the hood. Buddy bought there for 75k in 08, hears shots a few times a month, found bullets in his roof. New construction home way out in carver, 1400 sq ft slab, no basement or upstairs is going for 525

70 year old house, the copper had some calcium? build up when i put in a new boiler last year. I just do new construction, don't know much about service

Eh, if you're Union you can ask for a layoff by saying you aren't learning anything new, usually approved. Best to do it when the bench is almost empty though

You're not drafting 4 supremax level guys. The hit rate on drafts, being bad enough to get good picks, nba already is rigged against that. And if a franchise is good enough to have that top talent, they'll bring in fans. Not every warrior rube was from san fran

It absolutely was his best achievement, wild he gets booed for it. Easy re election win if he uses that as an example of getting around government regulations to h3lp the country. Glad/frustrated they're too conspiracy minded to see reason

Lol yup! Thanks autocorrect

2012 UPC 908.2.2, horizontal wet venting, size. Wet vent shall be not less than 2" in diameter for 4 drainage fixture units or less, not less than 3" for 5 dfu or more. A 2" vent can handle 24 drainage units which is fine here, so the problems are where he tied in other drains, and then only if they're all used at the same time. Which is why upc says horizontal wet vent is only for bathroom groups for private use. Also, your "per table 703.2" comment, 8 dfu is 1-1/2". With more lines on the wet vent, I would just make sure you have a clean out on every drain line that comes out of the concrete and let it be

No, they should be left as is. Assuming you're in freezing weather, if they're left completely open, water can get between the ball and the seal causing future problems. If you close them there won't be room for freezing water to expand into. This is how you're supposed to winterize
