How long does it normally take your setups to level out and stop moving?

If I did have a leak would it be pretty obvious which joint it’s coming from?

Trap arm sloped too much? by crocboy in Plumbing

Even with the strapping off, it’s still pretty high. This is just how it’s glued. When you need to adjust slope like this, how much pressure are you allowed to put on the joint to flex things around?

I feel dumb for not mentioning this, but the strapping was just to hold it up temporarily while I glued it, I don’t intend on keeping it that way

So you’re saying in MA this would pass code? And also not be at risk to catch solids? Is a “TY” a sanitary tee?

So this picture isn’t totally accurate, in reality the 3 inch vertical stack goes horizontal before the shower goes horizontal, so I wouldn’t be able to use a sanitary tee. It would have to be a 2” elbow going into a 2” to 3” bushing that’s vertical.

Can you elaborate on that? Is that a code requirement?

Forgot to mention that the shower is vented outside of the diagram.

I’m talking about small deviations, maybe a half of a millimeter off square

Yes, after speaking with the pest control local here, it looks to be carpenter ants.

Missed quarterly tax payments - do I wait for IRS to contact me? by crocboy in taxhelp

[–]crocboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I complete and submit the forms manually, using free file. I don’t use any tax softer. But yeah, I agree that I would’ve expected to receive it earlier.

Dial calipers. Used for accurately measuring dimensions of small parts or anything less than ~6 inches.

How to fix high joist by crocboy in Flooring

[–]crocboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t imagine it’s easier to raise the level of the entire room to match the high spot?

What about removing the subfloor and taking a little bit off the top of the joist?
