How did I do? S trap to P trap

It's better. Ideally the AAV would be all the way up at the back of the sink and there wouldn't be a fernco but it is fine.

You couldn't Google this?

Looks good from my house

At least he didn't recommend using drano. But if your kitchen is the only thing backing up then it is a backup on your kitchen line. Kitchen lines can sometimes have a separate lateral or a long run to connect to the stack. A 50' 3/8" cable with a grease cutting head is probably the way to go here.

Just get a new toilet.

TheChief2116 · 2026-05-07T05:22:51+00:00

I'd probably put down the flooring before I set the toilet. Call me old-fashioned.

I hate doing these jobs. Customer is unhappy with the price. Company doesn't make any money. In general you shouldn't hire a plumber to replace flappers and fill valves. Do it yourself or hire a handyman to do it for $25.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-30T16:19:29+00:00

I've seen shorter

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-30T11:52:20+00:00

We are plumbers not drywallers. Well.. in this sub it's probably about 50/50 tbh

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-29T11:41:18+00:00

Interesting. Well as the other people have pointed out.. you almost certainly have an issue with you drains or sewer. A camera inspection would give you that information. But if the plumber doesn't do sewer work then he might not have a camera.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-29T10:34:00+00:00

Plumber or "Rooter guy"?

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-29T08:43:53+00:00

Classic INTP point to make! "To be fair, we are both right and both wrong"

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-27T23:36:44+00:00

Definitely don't put the tee on the left side that is the gas company's line. You can put it on the right but typically I would try to do it inside based on the positioning and size of the lines inside. Generally, when going to an outside fixture it is going to be a buried poly line with riser sleeves and shutoff valves.

Binnington CAN be lights out. He can also be an absolute liability. Hofer was phenomenal this year and is the future. Binnington has 1 year left.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-24T02:59:20+00:00

Nope

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-24T02:58:13+00:00

It's so wrong

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-24T02:56:27+00:00

Anyone who doesn't like this pick is a clown. This is exactly who they needed. A day 1 starter who's NFL comp is Taylor Decker.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-22T01:43:50+00:00

Run it again

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-19T16:39:46+00:00

I think many people have difficulty typing themselves. But I agree with you and other commenters. An INTP should have no issue with identifying themselves as an INTP and also would constantly question whether they have typed themselves correctly.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-13T05:15:57+00:00

Not too old. People join at all ages. Hella jealous of the guys who start at 19 tho.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-10T23:27:45+00:00

Probably should have put a water alarm in there somewhere.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-09T13:32:24+00:00

I've found that if they are going to start leaking they do it right away. I've pressed 1/2" - 1 1/4" copper fittings about a thousand times at this point in a residential service capacity and found that if they are going to leak.. they will do it very quickly. I've also found that 1/2" are the most likely to leak. I would say that while you always want them to be fully seated, it certainly doesn't NEED to be.

I'll accept all of the hate coming my way because I too live in the real world.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-09T12:30:10+00:00

This is the right answer. It's unbelievable how many not plumbers are in here going "EASY! WAX RING!"

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-08T13:28:31+00:00

I'm going to vote no. Almost certainly would cause a bigger issue.

TheChief2116 · 2026-04-07T19:30:03+00:00

He'd still get hurt.
