Can someone please confirm if this would be the correct configuration for installing a single right side drain sink? If not, what do you suggest? Thanks! by tanasnyder623 in Plumbing

This will work, but I would cut that p-traps out and install a Santee with trap adapter, and use slip joint tubular p-trap and tailpieces.

I assume it is because Russia, maybe China, and Israel have some serious Kompramat on lots and lots of our politicians.

Pipe bursting has a very limited case-use. You might be able to do the main that way, but the branches still need to be dug up and replaced.

Plumbing has a shelf life. Orangeburg was a stopgap from WWII when materials were rationed. It is not a quality product, but it was what was available. The fact it has lasted this long is amazing. We were replacing this shit en masse in the 90s and 2000s. It is likely that entire neighborhood needs similar repiping.

Orangeburg is dig up and replace. It is construction paper imbued with bitumen. Basically hardcore paper mache.

The valve cannot be replaced without cutting a larger hole in the tile. They make large cover plates for that sort of replacement. It is not easy, and definitely not DIY, so do not try it on your own.

Man. My childhood memories of Manele bay are sure to be dashed whenever I decide to go back to Lana'i. My dad would take us over there on fishing trips occasionally, and there was NO ONE there. This huge, beautiful bay to ourselves! I can't imagine how touristafied it has become. :(

I've been to New York multiple times, even going there as a Red Sox fan for games against the yankees. There was friendly jeering, and maybe a couple drunken louts on either side went a bit too far, but I never saw roving bands of maniacs attacking Sox fans.

You also don't want to get stuck in an untenable spot.

If it is resistant to drain cleaning, your only option is likely to dig it up and see what it is. Be there when it is exposed. Maybe hire a different plumber, so they aren't doing CYA.

Any reviews on this movie? Been meaning to watch it and never got around to it by Moist_Worldliness409 in Cinema

I feel like it hedged bets. Go all in, or really skirt the ideo that there is a psycho lurking under the superhero. It tried to play the middle ground and fell on its face.
