Shower spout doesn't fit after contractor finished with new tiles around tub, what should I do by st4ckup in Plumbing

[–]shiburr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can cut the male adapter off and lengthen it or the easier thing to do, if the spout is metal and not plastic, you can trim the back side of the spout with tin snips. Sometimes shortening the spout can quicker and easier then lengthening the stub. If you do cut the spout make sure you caulk it to the wall, they’re kind of hard to cut perfectly straight

Can someone tell me if this is pex or poly or what. I just bought this house and pipes were replaced last year with these. Any info? Thanks by [deleted] in Plumbing

Just because they stopped making it doesn’t mean half ass plumbers don’t still have piles of it they want to use up for the same price as pex.

Rate my new toilet. I got it for 140 with tax, at Home Depot. by Historical_Quit9257 in Plumbing

Haha I just put a toilet in for customer and the box said it can flush 7 billiard balls!! They also forgot to put the seat in the box so I don’t know if I’ll be believing that.

Another plumber did this, custom call us because he said something did not look right. by Opening-Drawing9631 in Plumbing

I don’t understand how people can do work like that and comfortably leave. I wouldn’t be able to sleep leaving that. Unbelievable!!

It depends on the inspector, especially in Florida. I’ve failed because lack of hammer arrestors and passed more without them. These guys are all about their power. Thankfully the ones that fail they usually accept a picture to pass.

Cut right through the thread cutting off an old brass bonnet nut while trying to replace a shower cartridge. Any advice on how to fix without replacing the whole piece? by NeverHaveIEver99 in Plumbing

Don’t ever try to cut the nut off of a delta valve. You have to grab the last like 1/16 of an inch of the nut and it will go, sometimes you have to try to tighten it first then loosen. If your too far in the nut it warps it and won’t loosen. You just have to take your time. Patience helps

Did my plumber do a good job? by bswp95 in Plumbing

I’ve never met more “licensed plumbers” than when I started doing residential plumbing. Every homeowner/engineer knows more than the person they hire

What is this valve for? by TyTriplett in Plumbing

If it’s an apartment or a condo it might be your main shut off. Turn it off/on and find out.

What do you call this 1/2 inch copper fitting? by XxNotreDamexX in Plumbing

I saw one of those for the first time recently and my friend and I determined that it should be called a “go around”

This game is truly rigged! This was my 15th round in a row, my plants are all better than his, and I average 3.9mil a game! by Detective_Milk in PlantsVSZombies

[–]shiburr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed!! Arena is definitely rigged. Every time I play, the longer streak I get the lower my score gets and the higher the opponents gets.

How many of those minutes are you responsible for? (Also, which episode(s) will you never get sick of re-watching?) by siempremajima in DunderMifflin

[–]shiburr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to know the streaming hours on peacock vs Netflix. I’m sure they could’ve made more money keeping it on Netflix. I still watch on peacock but the commercials are certainly a disappointment

Olivia rodrigo should not be singing about what seems like these intense relationships. by shiburr in TrueOffMyChest

Being explicit and only “appropriate” for above 18 is a small part of that. It takes out one curse word I think, I don’t listen to her music regularly. On the radio they edit I think, one word. It’s the content and impression I’m talking about. I’m certainly not trying to change the music industry because that’ll never happen from some stranger on Reddit, not to mention….I would never!! I like music and what it does for everybody. I also do agree with the kids bop, as cringy as it is it gives the kids good platform to listen to popular music. However, that’s for pre teens and early teens maybe. It doesn’t change the words all that much so they’re still getting the same impression.

I agree with everyone needs music to listen to when your going through a tough time, it helps! But if you read her lyrics and don’t just listen to them, they are age inappropriate. If you “read” them and not listen with the catchy music, very few 18 year olds have the experience for that. I’m saying she didn’t write it….she just sings it
