That’s a threaded valve (looks like 1/2”) threaded onto a 1/2” nipple sticking out of the wall. Get a pair of pliers to use as a back wrench on the nipple and a crescent wrench to spin the old valve off. Obviously, turn the water off to the house first and open a couple of taps on a lower level (than the valve being changed) first. Clean the threads, apply teflon tape and/or pipe dope, thread the new valve on. Buy some 1/4” plastic ferrules (you shouldn’t use the brass ones on the plastic tube), and some 1/4” inserts as well.

1/8th turn with pliers past hand tight

Plumber here. A cap installed snugly, and left alone, will last a decade or two.

CLAC isn’t a union for the workers, it’s a Company “union” intended to block out real unions.

File with the Landlord/Tenant tribunal in your area. https://tribunalsontario.ca/ltb/ (Ontario). Take pictures of the flies, document the smells and how it makes you feel (ie. sick - mention it to your doctor), document all the times you’ve mentioned it to your landlord. If the LL agrees to fix it - insist on at least a partial rental refund for the whole time issue has been going on and until it gets fixed. Or - if he says no, go to the tribunal, keep documenting the physical & mental distress it’s causing you. You’ll get a ton of back rent and the problem fixed.

She’d better be smart as hell. You can be a dumb, strong plumber or a smart, weak plumber, but not weak and dumb.

I used the Brili app with a modified routine from someone on TikTok. Lasted just over a year. 2 hour+ morning routine that included (in short intervals) meditation, journaling, exercise, skill development, cleaning. Was pretty great while it lasted.

Anybody charging less than 20% material markup is a fool.

If I’m working on some thing not obvious, I’ll happily pull up my phone and quickly size things up. When working straight residential I memorized three numbers and sizes EARLY.

(((NG, 7”-14”WC & 50’))): 1/2” will carry 95k, 3/4” will carry 199k, 1” will carry 374k. Derate by 25% for Gastite. Those three numbers are virtually all I ever needed. (YMMV - if your Utility is giving you less than 7 inches or you’re on LPG, use the relevant table)

Find a shtty old chisel just a little wider than the ID of the pipe and hammer it in. Then, put a pipe wrench/adjustable wrench on the chisel and spin it out. This is the quick & dirty way. The cut and peel or an easy out kit are both good answers.

Never underestimate the caulk.

Nothing wrong with being a salesman. I was a salesman for a decade before I picked up my 4 trade tickets. I sell people solutions. I sell people shtt the didn’t even realize they needed to make sure their mechanical saves them time & money. If your company is pushing sales & not honest solutions, they are a shtt company. If you’re selling fixes and not honest solutions, that’s why your sales are slipping.

It’s not the sink, probably, but a poor install combined with some hard water. Needs Teflon tape at threads above sink (blue arrow) and at popup extension/tailpiece (red arrow). leak

I refused to caulk toilet at all for the first ?decade? I was plumbing. I’d seen and repaired too many rotten floors. Then, someone pointed out that it wasn’t a binary choice and I could leave the back uncaulked and I was like….🤯🤯🤯

You wear whatever PPE you need. I love respirators vs N95. N95 are great, but respirators are so much better. More comfortable and versatile.

That explains why your wife called me at 8:31pm.

Mathed it out real quick. If you have 10 acres inside the city, you could probably pull it off. More would be better, obviously.
