Regarding the hand-washing toilet, I've heard about that a lot from off-grid folks. It's called a gray water system. I think it's a great idea for conserving water, because you don't really need potable water for flushing.
@ToxicMrSmith
@ToxicMrSmith 3 жыл бұрын
I don't know about that. I don't think grey water is suitable for hand washing. I think it's that potable water is used first for washing your hands then becomes grey water to use for filling the cistern then flushing. Would you put grey water in your mouth? No. But if you washed then rinsed your hands with grey water and say are food.. Well then yeah do you see it now?

I wish I had pictures, but the craziest plumbing thing I've seen was we found that the homeowner before us (loads of wacky repairs) had used a Coffee Can for a J-Trap under a sink. Cut a hole in the plastic lid for the top pipe, and cut a hole in the side a few inches from the bottom of the can for the exit pipe. Both pipes galvanized steel) And connected using EPOXY. I really wish we took a picture. :) It was a Maxwell House blue coffee can (pretty sizable). This was discovered in the 80s, done most likely in the 70's.

I am not a plumber so I didn't recognize a problem under my kitchen sink until it was too late. One day my kitchen drain sprung a leak and it caused significant damage before we caught it. The cause of the leak was that the P-trap was installed backwards so it was very fragile. It got bumped and came loose. Over $20k later and I now have a new kitchen.

@8:03 the capped off line. That is probably a cable TV wire. Looks like a push-on type F connector and the wire itself has the coax part with a steel tension wire twinned onto the side--that is, it's an external wire designed to "fly" from pole to pole with the steel wire providing mechanical support. Of course the scary part is removing about a third of that heavy load-bearing beam. Hope the beam doesn't fail.

I was working as a custodian in 1988 at a high school that was being remodeled and added onto during that summer. It required that the water be turned off so that the water supply plumbing could be replaced. Even though the company supplied plenty of porta-potties for the workers they still used the toilets and unrinals inside the building all summer, with no water to flush. They released the building to us and turned the water back on three days before school started. They did not turn the water on gradually and bleed the lines. They turned it on all at once and blew out about half the flush valves.

The "duct tape" in a couple of pics is likely flex seal water proof tape wich can actually be applied under water and to wet surfaces. I have used it on cast iron to seal seam splits or rust holes to buy someone time to save money to replace pipes when a small drip or a sewer gas leak is involved. Ameture doing a friend a favor kind of thing, and its also useful as a temp tool when trouble shooting to eliminate possibilities.

So on number 5. I started working for some apartments a little over a year ago as their maintenance guy. They used ro hire different people for different jobs and I came across something similar to that that a so called plumber did. I cant tell you how many accordion drain pipes ive removed and stuff along that line. Im now in the middle of getting a bathroom completely and replacing all the plywood on the floor because the previous building owner didn't fix a leak that caused the floor to start rotting out but instead they just put another sheet of plywood on top of everything and shortly after buying the building my current employer discovered the leak and had it fixed. Here recently we had the tenant move out after we paid them to move and discovered the rot on the floor going under the bathtub. Now im doing a big job while doing the maintenance at all their properties by myself. I've actually had to hire a helper because of all the work I'm stuck doing. I hate laying tile but know how to do it correctly and to code and now im doing the thing I hate. After I finished with all the flooring repairs.

Thank you for sharing this. I wish they would have showed this to us at the hall right when you start your career. I know some plumbers working two jobs because they have that debt. I like how you broke down the percentage and talked about investing in yourself as well. Many journeyman won’t take anymore classes and I see that if you want to be more knowledgeable you have to continue education. Thank you for the video and hope you recover soon.

On the lady with pipes going through beams, that's not a pex line you saw it's a coax cable.

Hey Roger... At 8:07 that isn't a PEX line it's most likely an RG-6 coax quad shield 75ohm cable with grounding wire or it once was a dual coax commonly used on satellite dishes that has been pulled apart into two separate cables at some point which usually is done when swapping out the dish itself or just its LNB (the little receiver on the end of the arm extending from the dish) or when someone ditches satellite service for cable or over the air service both of which rarely require the use of a dual coax cable because I am certain that is a screw on F connector attached on the end. I'm an electrical engineer and formerly one of the youngest store managers ever for RadioShack

There used to be a kit you could buy at stores or order off tv to convert "any" toilet to have a handwash station - great idea, but the kits were hit or miss on fitting right. *ex buildings&grounds guy

#3 That cut beam might be better than it first appears. The original had a crack but the crack is completely closed and the floor appears straight. The new piece sistered on goes out of frame both ways so it is a pretty substantial timber.

Number 4: When installing new plastics p-traps under my lavatory I used epoxy glue where plastic meet the lead pipe. But the epoxy was too soft and flowing all over the place, so I added duct tape. No leak since quite a few years. I have to assume they did something similar: used cheap glue and tape.
