Nope we switched to flex seal months ago haha
I just installed an interlock kit on my panel this year. This way the wife can turn the generator on if the power goes out when I’m not home. I also installed a sensor by Reliance Controls called a “power back”. It has a wire that wraps around one on the main legs going into the panel. It runs off of a 9v and you turn it on when the powers out and when the grid power is restored it sounds an alarm so you know you can switch back
Obviously an outdoor kitchen setup. It seems that even plumbers thing they can just hack those things in all the time. I’ve seen a lot of terrible schit going on under them. Probably didn’t see the need to pull the sprayer out more than 6” anyway. I especially like the gas line for the grill running at a 30° angle. Really ties the whole thing together.
I think the real crime here was committed by whoever picked that god awful tile. Haha
Went to fix a leaking water pipe at an apartment building we service all the time. When I walked into the entry I noticed a brand new baseboard heater in the foyer, there was previously no heat in this space. When I went down to the basement I was looking around for some shut off valves and found some really hacked in piping. Then I realize it’s on the opposite side of the wall as the new baseboard. Come to find out it was one of our guys that did the work. I offered to repipe it because I was already there but my boss insisted that he was going to send the original guy back to make the change. You can see in the first picture that the only hanger on this 20’ of pipe is a stupid little strap hanger coming off the wall horizontally. In the second you can see two more strap hanger doing absolutely nothing and the rest of the piping laying on top of the old HVAC equipment. What an embarrassment. Granted, this place is a real crap hole but the integrity of your work should not have anything to do with where you are working. All I can say is I hope I found this work, and it gets fixed before the building owner sees it.

Just tie the bare wire to the white wire. They both go to the same place right? Haha
I’ve used the 3/8 lag many times. It works very good
Illegal. CSST is not a substitute for a union. You could by code use a flexible gas connector, although very hack still permissible by code.
Do you have a separate inspector for gas work? Here the plumbing and the gas is the same license and the same inspector.
I also don’t see a gas cock in the photo they did however include a drip tee
Very interesting. I wouldn’t have considered the benefit of a flexible connection for earthquake safety. I assumed you’d have to use a flexible fuel line like the ones required on a standby generator. Those must be installed straight, you can’t bend them.
He couldn’t figure out how to push the pipe into the socket? Does he have any kids? If not I think we may have just figured out the reason why. Haha
I suppose you’re right. I’ve plumbed in a tub/shower for a buddy for a few Coors Banquets and a couple games of cribbage before.
Those GE water heaters are so crappy that Home Depot doesn’t even sell them anymore. You can buy one from Wayfair though lol
I had a friend who bought one and I installed it for him. The tank leaked right out of the box. We took it back to HD and got another one... same thing!!! Finally the third one didn’t leak.
I never knew you could actually screw a CO plug into a dishwasher tailpiece. You learn something new every day. I wonder if there’s a top hat washer in there?
It would be better to use a brass coupling and a pvc male adapter than that crappy setup
Anode rod still looks good 😂
Did someone glue the 3” 90 with a 2” LS90 stuck inside of it?
