Found this little gem at a customer's house. They wanted a new toilet, but didn't want to move the stubout.
They didn't want to do that either. I think the wife liked not being able to see the shut off.
This week in Fine Southern Engineering...

Rural East Texas. Like no Dollar General for miles rural.
They might be onto something though. No need for Ferncos, telescoping fittings, offsets, or swing joints anymore. Just slap in a dryer vent and flexseal that schit. It'll put us pros out of business. 🤣
Scratch the flexseal, Liquid Nails is clearly were it's at as this clever HO proved. Maybe we should start recommending it to the DIYers?

What a beaut! Is that an AAV in the middle?
Do y'all normally have hard 90s on tubular like that?
Probably in a house. Our far northern brethren have a strong taste for ABS. Hosers...
Let it go man. It's over, and that kind of behavior is unwarranted.
Looks like a clean fix. I've been on a few slab leaks before and ours usually don't end up looking that good.

Gotta admit, its a cool look.
Maybe you could seal it up with marine epoxy? That stuff that they make countertops out of?
The other apprentice on the repipe got a little gung-ho with the cutting out the old copper today.

Sounds familiar. This guy was running around asking if he was gonna die from AC poisoning. He got a face full of 410A and the rest of us listened to our profit margin disappear.
Sweat it on there! Who cares about the next guy?! 🤣
Why you don't use CPVC on a tankless. Or install a tankless yourself for that matter.

You know what landlord? Probably best not to do any more of your own plumbing.

And here's the customer provided replacement. Not proud of it, and we did tell the customer many times and wrote on the invoice that it couldn't keep up with the whole house.

Clearly us putty vs silicone guys have been doing it all wrong. The correct answer is Gorilla Glue.

Leaked like a sieve and made the drain slow. 🤣
