    Cast Iron to PVC union, Plumbers what am i looking at here?

    Thank you all. Plan A worked. On closer inspection and more cleaning, i do believe it is leaded. If i ever have to mess with it again it is probably plan B... (The Doughnut). Hopefully that wont be me.

    Cast Iron to PVC union, Plumbers what am i looking at here?

    That sounds like a promising plan B That whole story is very long, the short version is that the new stacked washer and dryer needs vent that will occupy the space where this washer box is, so i need to move this over. Affirmative.

    Ive been remiss with updates. So there was an issue with the door which was bent. They said they would bring another one and could be back within 2 weeks. - nothing in 2 weeks. Called and was told the same crew had to do it and they did not cone to Scruffy City all the time like they said...

    Cast Iron to PVC union, Plumbers what am i looking at here?

    This is a washer drain, plan A is to do my dead level best not to mess with it, but in case plan A doesn't work what am i seeing here, it appears to be filled with some sort of hardening pipe dope, but is very hard to clean and see, If it is a rubber gasket it doesn't have a flange on the top...

    New Garage Build - Questions/Concerns

    I'm in Knox County TN outside of the city limits, ive heard that in the city of Knoxville and some surrounding cities (Marysville, Farragut) they are even more strict. My concrete guy said they ended up digging a 6 foot footer to make one of them happy not long ago. I literally just finished...

    Around here you would have to have an actual footer below the frost line.

    Cordless Drill and Impact combos..

    I have that dewalt set (along with a lot of other 20v and some 12v. It’s takes a serious beating and no problems at all. In fact the only problem I’ve had with dewalt was a bad 3ah battery and they sent me a new one no issues. I know it’s “ford vs Chevy” for some folks but imo you can’t go...

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    I got some decent stuff, not upset, i guess i'm a little surprised that no one had max steel considering the number of places around here. But that is the way the cookie crumbles. Ended up going with the Alans (Carolina) with extra overhangs, a steel door and a chain hoist.

    Failed Anti-Drain Back Valve?

    That appears to be a Mann + Hummel made M1 filter, it is basically a Purolator One. At least for a time they were a little notorious for the tapping plate having a rough edge which cuts the ADBV. Should be able to date it by the code on the top. ADBV int the center tube looks normal from what...

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    Yes it is. I think so, it is going to be a pain though, fitting 4 foot foam board to 5 foot spaced framing is either going to create a good bit of labor or a good bit of waste. I'll dig in a bit more, i probably misunderstood what you said. The vertical side metal apparently includes...

    Battery powered lawn mower

    I personally think if you own a bunch of Milwaukee batteries thats the right choice. The thing about the Honda (if you can wait) is that at least from preliminary information it's based on a gas mower deck. Their gas mowers are great.

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    I am probably never going to actually finish it. The 4 foot centers would make foam board much easier. I'm considering spray foam - DIY. It is my understanding those come with the vertical side metal.
