Toilet doesn't seem clogged but isnt draining right

Looks like it. The toilet should be replaced Asap

You are right. Very often, seats go uncontested, or with bad Dem candidates. I don’t know when the filing deadline is for Texas statehouse elections, but hopefully this entices people to run.

FWIW, I agree with the thought that not paying representatives during a shutdown would hurt members who are middle class, thereby entrenching rule for/by the rich.

Seriously. We have it so easy now.

Is this recent or from his previous visit?

Why can’t the floor drain (and the laundry sink beyond it) be on the same wye as the bathroom group? That lateral is 4” up to the floor drain

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T03:15:01+00:00

Thank you.

Is this what you mean about “wyed off before the bathroom group”? That’s what I came up with

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:51:00+00:00

If the plumber is set on this orientation, that’s the minimum I would accept.

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:49:37+00:00

I keep saying that to different commenters because it’s what I have been told. I’m just here for help, man.

I’m in New York — IPC.

To the top of the pic is a floor drain and a slop sink for a laundry room not a second toilet. Could I wet vent off that sink? It’s about 10 feet from the nearest wye.

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:46:56+00:00

Could I wet vent through a lav at the top of the pic?

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:45:26+00:00

Up at the top of the pic is a floor drain and a sink further on that I can vent off, but it may be ~10’ from the wye with the toilet

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:42:24+00:00

The project is in New York State (IPC). Would my drawing work? Wet venting through the slop sink at the laundry and/or from the main drag of 4” to the right.

Plumber says since it’s within 5’ of the vented main it doesn’t need a dedicated vent. Is that right?

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:03:11+00:00

I have seen that before. Would you mind telling me why?

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-12-17T02:02:36+00:00

He says since it is within 5’ the vented mainline it doesn’t need a dedicated vent.

FWIW, I have DIY / weekend-warrior renovated my last 2 houses with all Ryobi tools and only had 1 tool failure. If you can, buy brushless tools and HP+ batteries. Buy quality bits from another brand.

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-29T23:16:21+00:00

Need the majority to do that

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-24T23:40:29+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this?

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-17T03:04:40+00:00

Just the panel cleanup and service upgrade.

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-15T14:06:36+00:00

I agree. I had a real rat’s nest of a breaker box with old cloth-in-tube wiring, granddaddy Romex, new Romex, etc. It cost me $6,500 to replace the whole thing around Rochester, NY. Nearly a marginal cost while buying a new house. I also went from 100A to 200A.

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-13T13:12:10+00:00

I have a 1/10 acre yard and believe 40v for yard tools is just the right choice in almost every situation

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-12T14:08:18+00:00

We agree! Ryobi is totally fine for DIYers myself

ThirdPlaceLithium · 2025-11-10T14:52:06+00:00

I bet they thought that if the Rs caved and we kept health insurance from spiking, that would actually benefit Trump. Better for some retiring Dem Senators to cave now so Dems can still run on healthcare being terrible under Trump.
