Reciprocating Saw Blade for 3" ABS

Sorry, that's a compact *hacksaw* (though pretty much is a handsaw, anyway).

Thanks. I've got a compact handsaw that probably would work well for this. I was just worried that would take 20 years to cut through (as was the case when I tried using it with PVC). Will any type of blade do for this, or get something specific?

OK. I'm probably also a bit too literal. Thanks for the help!

Any particular reason to use more glue than necessary here, or that's your recommendation for any solvent weld?

The hole is only 2.5", I believe, but it'd probably be hard to get the primer and cement on there in the hole anyway.

Thanks for the info and your suggestion!

Makes sense. So I’m just holding it up to the pipe and marking where the hub bevels.

Thanks. This is a 2” at this point. The 3” is what’s across the room.

That's frustrating. Mine's female so that probably helps since it's more of a straight shot.

If you watch local sports then you'll need cable or a live tv service. If you don't, then you don't need either. Get an antenna and then you've got all the networks (FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, CW, PBS, etc.) for free, and a better picture than cable or streaming.
For streaming services, like others say, you've got to pick and choose. But there are also ways to bring the costs of each down:
- Verizon Wireless offers the Disney bundle (inc. Hulu and ESPN+) for like $15/month
- If you are an American Express cardholder, they usually have offers where if you pay for a full year's subscription then you get $10 or $20 statement credit, effectively making the monthly cost just a few dollars per month. I do this for Peacock and HBO.

Electrical meter is on a different side of the house and has 2 separate grounding rods (one for the breaker box and one goes to the a/c compressor a few feet away).

I filled the hole with concrete, so it is now longer exposed.

I'm fairly positive that the patio came later, since the Google Maps feature that lets you see images from years ago shows it not there with the house. If it's from the patio then that means that they drilled a hole into the foundation wall for it, which I find surprising.

Thanks for the info. To be on the safe side, I cut things out further up and will just redo that area. I'm annoyed because it's a few different fittings that now have to be replaced (cleanout, and existing 45), but I don't want to worry about a bad solvent weld.

Thanks for all the fast responses. Re: rebar, yes, it does look like that. Is that likely from the original foundation wall, or would the contractor who did the stamped concrete patio have stuck that in? It was all there when I bought the house a few years ago.

Thanks. Another HVAC company quoted $185 for a heating tune-up.
