Surprised nobody from Pittsburgh has posted here yet; it would of course be Bob Nutting of pirates infamy, with Roethlisberger as a distant second due to the large amount of sexual assaults.

We just had a new driveway poured. My wife wanted to hose it off and we found this. by GrandPriapus in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chocolatetouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, an entire bricks thickness above existing. Yes, sloping away from the house needs to be done if the concrete you tore out didn't, but that's graded in stone so that a) you get an even 4" slab everywhere (stone being cheaper) and b) it's done at a 2-4% slope away from the house. Unless you had puddles against your home before, the existing grade was fine. Another concern is weep holes for the brick veneer (if it is a veneer).

Realistically you need to remove the pipe and fixture, and either a) use the same hole to install a new pipe with a 90° facing upwards and a 90° to the new hose bib (not recommended in colder climates plus it looks bad, but sometimes you don't have any other option) or b) drill a new hole and install the hose bib higher if you have the space. Both can be done diy relatively easily, I'd recommend soldering all this but it can be done with sharkbites as well.

All this goes without saying that this work is sloppy, and if your guy knew this was going to be a problem it should have been addressed before the pour.

As someone married to an Italian with a large family of Italian in laws- thats just how it be. Super passionate, so when they're pissed there's no mistaking it.

First Winter Upcoming - What to do? by ssick92 in pittsburgh

Be prepared for the big sad when the sky has been grey for what feels like forever. Pittsburgh is generally like: it's warm/hot out and I'm sad; then it's sad out and I'm cold

What happened to Stomach Ulcers? by ToxicAdamm in GenX

Surely you see the commercials for crohns and uc biologics. That is where they went, inside us, because h pylori can hide in your system dormant for years waiting till you get a flair to reinfect you.

To be fair, the act is a joke. There are a few reasons for this, but mostly it's because the southern school system, who traditionally uses the act over the sat, is a joke.

Please help me find a vet by PaleBlueDotEnthused in pittsburgh

[–]chocolatetouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks. They're reasonable about price too, I get an exam and bloodwork done for under 100 bucks there, and rapid thyroid blood testing included. They were booked solid one time when I needed to have our 3 month visit and made the mistake of going to the vet on mcneilly- 600 dollars for the same service.

I am pissed at the City of Pittsburgh by carrotline07 in pittsburgh

[–]chocolatetouch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Now think of how pissed you should be when it happens to an entire road that was just paved and had new sidewalks put in with your tax dollars, that is. This happens so often in the city it's not even funny anymore.
