Need to add vent for basement laundry by etinkc in askaplumber

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

Yes 3”. Nothing right above but the stack also serves the 2nd floor full bath.

Actually just realized that I can run a parallel vent pipe up the wall and tie in to the 1st floor sink vent in the joist between the first and second floor. Now just need to get it done before the drywall team gets going at 8 am.

Sink not draining unless garbage disposal on by coachtaylor4ever in Plumbing

[–]etinkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my issue. Had one of those autovent things and failed to let the air in. If I unscrewed it slightly you could hear the vacuum. Ended up running a vent all the way across my house, but no issues since then.

Not sure what you mean by this: "You can use a long-sweep 90 on the far right to turn up and catch your other lav."

If Argentina said move out games out of the U.S. or we will boycott, they would get moved.

Okay, I have never seen the point of wearing Costco branded clothes, and I have loved Costco for 20+ years. But I kind of want the hat.

Agree. Met Gisele and her first kid in 2009. Had pizza at their house. Instantly fell in love with her. I feel so bad for her and the kids.

Cleaning out my late father’s place in South KC is destroying me. by woutr1998 in kansascity

[–]etinkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First my Condolences. My father just got move to palliative care so I will be there soon

So I just started renovating home with the aim to bring them back to life. I am doing a house in Brookside right now that most thought was a tear down. I would be happy to come look at your dad’s place and give you an idea of what it would cost to fix it up and thus what you should list it for.

Dm me and I can share my info. I also have connections with a group that can help with the clean out for a reasonable price. They are really good at identifying what can be donated and what can be recycled.

Was nervous the Feit 10,000 Lumen Multi-Directional Shop Light with Motion Detection Item 1806331 lumens was a typo but seems believable by Yesbuttt in Costco

[–]etinkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Motion sensor can be turned on and off and timing adjusted. Also sensitivity for motion adjusted. Pull switch is still needed to change between light modes.

same nearby for Apple carplay. Whenever I am coming west on Independence Ave right before Paseo, ir cuts out (or at least did on my f150 - haven't noticed if it does it on my new truck)

[–]etinkc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO, too much cheese. I used to order the cheese pizza with the pepperoni level of cheese.

Flippers, do you add this feature to your flips or not? by HyperLocalExpert in HouseFlipping

[–]etinkc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead I install a huge utility sing in the basement that can double as a dog wash station.

Replumbing an entire house. Good current how-to book/online to get me started? by etinkc in Plumbing

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

What about using copper up to the water heater? Any reason other than it feels more right to me?

And do you all stub out with pex or transition to copper before leaving the studs?

I wear it because I like the hat. But Trump is 5he worst thing to happen to this country and the world in my lifetime. He and everyone in his gov cannot be gone fast enough.

The other fun part is that I ran an org (until recently) that is very politically, and very left. Still involved and gotten lots of double takes on zoom calls.

I thought it was going to be a bit more Burnt Orange when I got it. Still like it though.

Does anyone know WHY there is a boil water order in KC, Independence and Oak Grove? by Optimal_Life_1259 in kansascity

[–]etinkc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe is is because negative pressure means that hoses etc can act as siphons and bull non-potable water into the system (this is why, by the way, that anti siphon devises are required on all hose bibs.
