It was like that before, not anymore. Now if I play by the book I have to break concrete, repipe 2" from under from a good distance away because of the sud zone and destroy their kitchen to put a vent into the attic and roof.
Stupid stupid stupid.

Another Tango original....
Not sure if I posted this one before but, the previous home owner's water heater wasn't giving out enough hot water so he cranked the thermostat to the max and when it didn't work as planned he thought he was smarter than a plumber and thought to himself I'll just insulate it a little more You know cold water and all. Had to take a new home owner to ask me why the fock is my water all fubar?
Bonus teflon repairs in the same house. And a kitchen vent pipe sticking out under the gutter! WTF??

Easiest job this year....I'll give you a hint.
On these last days of 2020 I would like to sincerely thank all the Hackers and DIY to provide me a continuous stream of lunacy work in the mental asylum that I live in and to help me achieve another milestone towards changing my company name to "Lambo Lamb Contractor Inc".
Thank you, and I'll see you in 2 days!

Was it the breaker? Not sure what you're trying to show us. Is that 3 wire going into the disposal? is it a 120v disposal wired with 220v?

They bought a new disposal for me to replace the one that wasn't working. Since these things are so freaking rare I decided to read the trouble shooting guide first. Told them I just saved you guys 500$ but you still owe me my 1hr minimum.
The red reset button!

I got an extremely long pair of needle nose pliers I keep in the toolbag but you'll really wanted a double jointed pair of needle nose as most single joint models are too short to get some items from a disposal. The long thin jaws are weaker too.
I pulled small chain out of one two weeks ago. I went back to that same house friday and removed broken glass from the pump on the dishwasher.🤣
I went to a commercial kitchen and removed a spoon from a three phase disposal. The head of the spoon had been sheared off!
From disposals in the past year I've pulled out several broken glass cups, a bracelet, A whole orange that they had to squeeze through the drain opening, clay plant pot pieces, the rubber bit from a sink stopper, and several other items. And of course I've had a couple where it was just the thermal reset breaker on bottom or the GFCI outlet it was tapped off, or occasionally the panel breaker.
I actually had a 50+yr old disposal from sears a week ago where the stainless riveted pin in the center finally wore out and the platter disconnected from the motor shaft, now that is a well built disposal!!
If I had a 220v or 208v disposal, I'd run a separate 2" line direct to my septic tank and get rid of the garbage bucket under the counter

Those pics belong in the winners thread, because it sure does win since it's working. This thread is about nasty surrounding working conditions.
