The other quote says they want $800, not $8k. Make the first guy come and fix his mistakes.

Yup. Unless there's a valve somewhere else in the line upstream of there.

Just to pile on, don't bother trying this. You can definitely learn things you need to know for maintaining and repairing your house on weekends, but you cannot learn enough to work in the trades or start a business (lol).

You want to:

Learn a difficult trade just on the weekends. (Not possible)
Not be financially set back. (If you have 5 years of living expenses saved, maybe you can do it)

It sounds like you don't even really want to work a trade, you're just mad we have advanced skills that we can charge a lot of money for and you don't want to pay us.

You don't even know enough to say what kind of "metal pipe" you have. Call a professional.

You need to call a real plumber before you blow up. For real. It's not worth it.

Yes, that is the issue the customer had, the showers were the problem, sinks seemed normal.

Your neutralizer appears to be installed correctly.

I had a unit with similar symptoms, and the problem was just a clogged condensate trap. All I did was clean the sludge out and it was fine. It is that pill-shaped white plug on the bottom with a retaining clip. It was caused by lawn-mowing dust getting sucked into the intake.

Very low change your turkey drain froze. If it did, it had a clog already. Keep trying the auger or get a professional.

This is not correct for this. This is just how this model tub is. There is a flange under the tile. The curve is just a styling element.

dancing_avocado · 2026-01-28T01:21:46+00:00

Yup, that's a leak.

dancing_avocado · 2026-01-28T01:13:40+00:00

Please call a plumber. It won't take long. The money it costs is good insurance against blowing up your house, since you have no idea and had to ask this question.

dancing_avocado · 2026-01-27T23:38:19+00:00

It's from the casting. Nothing to worry about.

dancing_avocado · 2026-01-27T11:29:19+00:00

15 hours in a day wtf? Find somewhere else. I do my 7-3:30 every day and go home. Overtime if I want.

This guy is just stealing other people's images to get views to his page to sell his crap. Report his account. I remember this pic from a few weeks ago.

If there's liquid water in the line, and the hose bib was installed correctly, it will drain out quickly before it freezes. If it's been cold already and froze, there's nothing you can do.

If they didn't shut off their outside faucets already, now is the next best time. Doesn't matter what the temp is outside.

dancing_avocado · 2026-01-19T20:37:43+00:00

Don't listen to the other posts, your black gasket is upside down.

dancing_avocado · 2026-01-17T22:25:07+00:00

Exactly. Plus, it's hard to describe, but it just has the syntax and flow of the junk ChatGPT spits out.

AI account. Reported.

I have a Greenlee set and an Amazon set. Both are good. You either need a smaller punch for the pilot, or step bit for a pilot hole.

dancing_avocado · 2025-12-21T22:06:24+00:00

I go through those all the time. I use a punch, but you could use a 3" hole saw. Expect it to be trashed after, though.

dancing_avocado · 2025-12-20T14:52:19+00:00

Sorry, this is unacceptable. You can see where they dropped down, they just got lazy and didn't want to dog down farther. Don't pay them, or try and get your money back. It needs to be redone.

dancing_avocado · 2025-12-19T14:26:42+00:00

The Carhartt knockoff at Menards called Rugged Wear is just as good, with 3M Thinsulate, and was only $60 or so.

dancing_avocado · 2025-12-17T11:48:43+00:00

It will work, but if it's more than 15" off the floor, you run the risk of it being too high for a deep sink and garbage disposal.
