IMO, way better than some some chitty trap primer valve buried in the ceiling somewhere.

Saw this today. Lady is in her 90’s and there was no way in hell I was going to sell her anything unless her life was in danger. We were there to replace her severely leaking tub/shower valve, which she provided.
I didn’t count how many SharkBites, but they were all SharkBite. Drain was the classic 2” to the floor drain.
We actually only charged her $175! 2’ copper, three couplings, one 90, one MIP and an hour and a half including drive.

Here’s a few recent ones...
Top is my fix for a leaky shower arm. A hose clamp and liquid nails works wonders!
Next, my neighbor had a leak, so I helped her out. She’s a sweetheart!
Finally, I bartered installing gas ball valves in a local restaurants tiki torches for a few dinners.

Maintenance guy couldn’t open it. I added my own clean out so they have to fix this abortion. Really I was hoping my bend would make it past the tubular 90.

Well, in the first one no grab bar, no wrapping on the trap, stool doesn’t look ADA, two handle faucet, but could have a mixing valve that I can’t see. In the women’s room, not ADA stool, and ya gotta love the economy friendly grad bars. I’m probably missing something

When we lived in Lansing we would always order pizza delivery from a local chain. It was about as good if not better than the national chains.
Last year we had to put in a huge lift station. Dead and live roaches all over the place! They had tote under the grease trap to catch the overflow. About 3 months after install we got a call that both omnivore pumps weren’t working. The floats were stuck from all the grease. Told them to call a septic company and reminded them they needed a new grease trap. Guess what, it was packed with grease 3 months after that.

I fired a well known national non fast food restaurant found at many truck stops along with individual locations. They stiffed me $125 for a simple service call and the kitchen was absolutely disgusting, even sliced open my finger through my gloves reaching to the very back corner floor sink under the dish washer to clean out all the crap out of the basket. I thought I was fair. F em.

Where’s an inspector when you need one? No offense to the ones here, but in some parts of my area they are like vampires. They can enter an establishment on their own and not be able to write them up. Unless they see a gross safety hazard, then they call the health department for an inspection. If they are invited in for an inspection they can write up any trade.

I rented the new one a week or so ago. I don’t know if it was the movie or just tired, but I feel asleep in the first 45 minuets.

I have three more to add, but for some reason I get an error saying I’m missing some sort of security thing. I’ll try again later tonight. Fiveonthefloor has already seen one.
