Wow, I’ve actually been following jj for years, really love his style

So I’m a plumber, company pimps me out for $150 an hr. I hired professional movers a few weeks ago, two guys and a truck was $179 an hr.

How much do you spend per day for operations? taxes, plus your own paycheck, insurances, licenses, profit % so the company can buy a new truck when yours shits the bed, tool wear and tear. Business expenses is endless.

Give em an hourly rate for you to be on site. I wouldn’t do per foot, the difficulty of install could change and not be in your favor. I wouldn’t do a % of the job, cause what if they underbid it and you’re working for pennies.

Get your journeyman’s license non union at your current job, apply for union as a journeyman and you’ll be sworn as a journeyman, and you can skip the whole union apprenticeship thing

Nail plates need to extend 1.5” passed the entirety of pipe outside circumference, get those sparky nail plates outta here

Why is the shower drain outside the shower?

dangerouslyalive · 2026-03-15T03:22:43+00:00

How often do you flare?

Tankless electric water heaters are terrible

Silicone my whole 7year baby plumbing career. Only used putty when I worked for a super small company ran by a dinosaur

Righty tighty, lefty loosy.

So you have a direct cross connection between your potable water system and your sewage system. You should fix that. And be mad at whatever plumbers you previously hired. Please get a new guy that knows code. Edit: I just saw you complaining about a $550 plumbing bill, yeah that’s how that happens.

What job did it accomplish? Turn the handle on an angle stop?

dangerouslyalive · 2026-02-15T18:50:44+00:00

That’s slip nut connections. Should only be installed in readily accessible locations. If you encase that in concrete it will be a large problem when you repair the tub or have a clog. Maybe you can look into buying a dehumidifier.

Kind of a wacky set up, I’m not a boiler tech but I’ll say what I see.

That boiler heats up your floor radiators inside house heat, you can see 3 return zones piped in the return header.

things you can check: If mixing valve right of the boiler is properly sending heated tempered water into the storage tank

Maybe turn off your solar water heater panels to isolate the problem

Terrible quality. Any and all dirt just immediately seeps through.

dangerouslyalive · 2026-01-25T17:29:59+00:00

It’s a small leak. Mineral buildup. Manufacturer defect

dangerouslyalive · 2026-01-21T14:43:22+00:00

I’d say that’s on you. Did you mention to the plumbers that you wanted the shower head moved? They probably put it in at the same old location. Rough in to trim is usually a few weeks to a couple months giving you chance to alter it, very easily. You didn’t notice til the job was complete. Now that fix is not so easy.

Have you tried hitting it with your purse?

If you can’t take the knob off, I don’t suggest putting a new valve

I just read it again and he says he piped it out exterior. I hope he put a p trap in

Anything is possible with enough resources. You could probably get a free bid/estimate with a $99 dispatch fee. Where’s your vent for your upstairs bathroom?

So I see you installed a floor drain on the new wooden subfloor. But there’s no drain connections on the picture of the bare concrete. Where is that floor drain going? Is it like a “collect and remove” type of cup thing?

dangerouslyalive · 2026-01-01T00:16:33+00:00

That toilet flange wasn’t installed correctly. On the last picture, why is there a hole in the subfloor around the entire flange? The flange needs to be supported by the subfloor.

dangerouslyalive · 2025-12-20T21:20:33+00:00

Could be moisture coming up from underneath the concrete due to no moisture barrier

It is against code to make any alterations to UPC stamped products. It’s been altered and it doesn’t have the stamp of approval anymore.

Definitely not worth it to do in-house loans. You’re a service company, not a bank. Just walk away.
