Great job man!! Its always a bonus when the customers are good people. Water causes so much damage I see water damage every day, even a tiny leak will cause thousands in damage if it is not fixed right away.

A new innovation from Sharkbite, PVC fittings (schedule 40 PVC) . If you can't glue PVC pipe together than you shouldn't be doing plumbing work. I don't see a need for this, they make pvc glue that you can use underwater. Why would you need this? Any thoughts on this?? Second picture is a 1 inch PVC to 1 inch copper coupling

It was scary when my dryer caught on fire this fall. The vent was clear but the insides of the Dryer were covered in lint
That's scary. Was it a gas dryer??

I actually hung a fire extinguisher close by the dryer in the insane case one actually started, but it's on an exterior wall and minimal piping directly to the outside, so the chance of it happening are slim, I know, but it's an easy thing to install. And I keep it clean from the outside, easy to get to through the backdraft damper. My wife didn't want the red clashing with the wall color so I put a white one up.

they nailed the color if that is the look they were going for...
Seriously I thought it was a primer coat when they were building it.

I've wondered that - how much does it cost to replace an entire panel? I've got no space left on my existing panel and I'm probably going to need to install a secondary one somewhere in a garage to add any more breakers.
I would have to see the job, every panel is a different price and each one has its difficulties. You can buy what is called a tandem breaker to make one breaker become two breakers.

Justin, thanks for sharing and your a class act. That is cool that you can help people out in a time of need. I know we all have to make money, but there are those times it's nice to just to help out and give back.
Thanks Eric I try
On 3/9/2016 at 10:40 PM, DR99 said:How much are they looking at to replace the panel?
This panel has emt piped it on all four sides and the feeders come in from the back so its a major pain. Around 1300, I need a work with permit to do the work and get the meter unlocked which would be an additional cost. Permit runs 130 plus my handling fees than wait for both inspections.

No joke, I'd be doing the same, looking it over real good, and then checking the faucets and fixtures lol

Hey Justin do you know the brand of backflow preventer in Jimbos last pic?

I'm not sure maybe a Watts. I should have posted this a few days ago but here's a gate stop I made out of power strut and fittings almost ten years ago. I thought I used galvanized bolts and washers I guess it rusts away.

Nah they were just fine and the warranty service was fantastic. Just kind of bummed to have had problems. Really bummed for carl though!
I hear you its like when you go to the grocery store to buy your favorite ice cream and there sold out :/

Not to impressed with the inside guys I didn't get any pictures but the fit and finish is a little on the cheap side. They have the same columns inside like the ones you see outside, I think there fiberglass you knock on them and its super hollow (huge echo). Everyone thought I was crazy for doing that but I needed to see what my taxes payed for..lol The floors and carpet are cheap looking and the outside white paint looks like it wasn't painted properly. The only thing I liked was the big chandeliers, I will probably test drive the plumbing later this week..lol I'm I messed up in the head or what??

Luckily ours is rigid from the wall, up to the attic, and all the way to the back of the house where it vents out. Our only real spot for anything to clog is the flex at the back of the dryer, and that's a piece of cake to clean. Of course we're all talking like everyone knows to do this, but in reality most homeowners wouldn't know the difference between a screwdriver and an elephant.
Hey they put money in my pocket, so I hope they don't figure out an elephant is not a tool. But there's so many things you are suppose to take care of on a yearly basis if you actually did all those things it would be a full time job.

I will say the warranty that Milwaukee has is fantastic but the issues haven't been lost on me. My brother is a plumber here in Nh and he switched from Dewalt to Milwaukee and had never had a problem with his Milwaukee tools. His fuels look like they've been flushed a few times! Me on the other hand, brand new tools right out of the package.
That's unfortunate Chris, these tool manufactures need to treat you better!!

Looks like an electronic failure, I think it inhaled to much sewer gas..lol I hate rotted cast toilet flanges, I would rather rip out 10 pvc flanges than to do one cast flange repair. Guess which one I do the most?? CAST!!!

Welcome to City of Homestead's new City Hall!!! This is the brand new City Hall that's opening on Monday in my town. It is also the Building Department, all permit fees are going to be raised..lol I really don't care for the White House look much. The old building had unhealthy levels radon, mold and asbestos you can smell it as soon as you walk in the doors. I can get some pictures of the inside when I go there on Monday

Like others had mention it is very important to take apart the dryer and clean all the lint out. The easy way is to take off the panel the door is attached to so you can clean the bottom of the dryer base and motor area and blower as well. Also where the lint screen is there is a lint trap on the bottom that has to get clean out. The worst one I cleaned had 2 inchs of lint on the base of the dryer, and the lint trap and blower were packed. I filled up a 5 gallon bucket just from the dryer alone the vent was another 5 gallons

Good advice man, so true.
I was at a place with pvc as the vent, I really didn't have the knowledge or experience at the time to know what to tell the customer, but definitely don't use pvc as dryer vent

Haha, I have seen a few done in pvc. Its smells wonderful when the dryer is on not to mention the lint sticks to the inside of the pvc from static electricity.

if you have any kind of ribbed dryer vent, its recommended you clean your dryer vent twice a year, the best is rigid piping, which is pretty much maintenance free,any housing inspector or code inforcer will say same. huge amount of fires are started every year because of dryer vents. if you can replace it with 4 inch rigid, do it
That's the only way to go, if a rigid vent has a lot of turns it still collects lint. You should clean it once a year but there's a million things we are suppose to do yearly and it never gets done.
On 3/4/2016 at 0:37 PM, khariV said:My dryer vent is probably 20 ft long and goes underneath the bathroom floor. It's made of flexible plastic tube reinforced with wire and it's horrible. I can't wait until I rip up the floor to put down tile so I can replace the flexi-hose.
Twice a year, I have to get out the flex brush and the drill and clean the entire thing out. If you haven't ever cleaned the inside of a clothes dryer, you'd be amazed and horrified just how much lint gets trapped inside. We actually had a small fire a few years back that luckily didn't get much past the smouldering stage, but now I clean it religiously.
Just another voice reminding people to clean out not just the vent but also the dryer itself.
