  The surveys are in: "An interesting form of construction!" "Clearly non-compliant and just bad building practice." "This form of construction does not meet any current building standards,"

canyoneer posted:Crackhead construction: Man Called Fran IIIII.... may be using that smoke bomb trick. The smell is localized to the main bathroom, and I'm pretty sure that the vent stack in the wall behind the toilet is cracked (cast-iron, and literally the only bit of original waste plumbing left in the house since earlier this year - that was expensive, BTW) but that would help confirm it.

Don't need a sink in the spice kitchen, just a place to create insane fumes and a nearby position of half cover which will offer a +2 bonus to your Armor Class and Dexterity saving throws against attacks and spells that originate from elsewhere in the kitchen.

You have to be careful though: put too much chilli in and you'll accidentally cast cloudkill.

Is the dishwasher just for show, or are there water and drain connections in the cabinet next to it? Like I get it, they can check the box in the listing for a dishwasher. It is probably even in working order. But nowhere does it state that it has to be useful.

This reminds me of a house my friend looked at. Cabinets along the wall with the stove and sink in them. Then, a "bar" sticking out at 90° from the wall between the kitchen and dining room. The dishwasher was in that area. There was no electricity or water hook ups there. To use the dishwasher, well, it was on wheels, got pulled out into the middle of the room, hook the water up to the sink faucet, put a tube into the sink to deain into, plug an extension cord into the wall socket.

Based on the overhead cabinets, it looks like they planned for a sink next to the dishwasher. I'm also guessing those are laminate countertops and they just haven't cut in and installed the sink yet. Or, they forgot plumbing.

I'm also guessing those are laminate countertops and they just haven't cut in and installed the sink yet. That does make sense. My guess is the countertop place didn’t bother to cut out a hole for the sink. Pick your reason why. And the contractors couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it, so the countertop just got installed as is. Contract work complete, time to go home. That’s not to say a hole couldn’t be cut and sink installed, but that is probably one of those jobs that is not worth the time of any reasonable contractor to even come out and give a quote. So the owner is either getting blown off, or $stupid to get it done.

When I had my countertops replaced at my old condo they installed the countertop and then cut the hole and then put the sink in.

canyoneer posted:Crackhead construction: Man Called Fran Closed cracks along the lateral of the pipe are common in cast iron. I typically see them in the vertical runs, where they will eventually widen enough to let out some water during a flush, and stain the adjacent ceiling or wall, which alerts the owner to the problem (and yes, they'll usually report years of ghost poo poo smells). They typically are not visible to a sewer camera because they are closed, and there's usually accumulated debris, moss, growth etc on the inside of the pipe. It needs to be back-lit to be visible, which is impossible inside a wall or floor space. Using smoke or dye packs is common enough that I'm a bit surprised that some of these plumbers never heard if it; then again, we have plumbers who have worked their trade 30-40-years who rarely see or do old homes or handle any drain line material besides PVC. A common problem in older homes is the rusting out of the cast lateral in the basement at the tidal line on the pipe (about 1/3 the way up from the bottom); water washes over it during a flush, then recedes, and it'll rust there. Depending on the age and condition of the cast, this can happen in 40-years but usually in lines closing in on a century.

Hm this is slightly concerning as I'd thought about replacing the vertical runs in some of my pipes with cast iron to ameliorate noise. Do you have any experience with epoxy-lined pipes, as in the ones that are lined from the factory, not lined in place as a repair? Wondering if that solves the crack issues.

I got a crack in my cast iron vent stack. Thankfully it was the pipe in the unfinished basement right next to a floor drain, so no damage, and relatively easy to fix. And good thing, because we discovered it right as we started buying the house (we were renting and living in it already) and weren't going to pay to fix it until we actually owned the house. We got an insane quite from a regional plumbing company that wanted to repipe the whole house for like $20k, and also a perfectly reasonable quote from a local company where he knew exactly what the problem was and what it would take to fix it, so that was less than $2000 to fix.

You will be dust in the wind by the time any cast that you install starts to corrode or crack. Some of the cast in my home dated to its construction in 1930. I wound up removing that section in 2011 & replaced it with PVC, but not because it failed in any way. Most of what remains was installed around 1964 when my neighborhood got municipal water & sewer laid. I tied it to the PVC I installed with Ferncos.

I beg to disagree, I absolutely plan to be a pile of goo and bones buried beneath the kitchen floor for future excavations to find. Dust in the wind, pshaw. (thanks for the advice though, makes me much less concerned). Also I thought ABS was best for DWV? Is PVC preferable?

Six of one, half-dozen of the other. If you're pulling a permit check with your municipality to see if they stipulate one over the other. It makes no sense to require it, but when in Rome

I had a cast iron elbow crack at the joint below my only crapper, then on top of that discovered that the back side of my toilet base disintegrated when I tried to take it off the flange. That was a fun few days.

Mine was dealing with rotted subfloor under the toilet,and chucking this  was easier than trying to repair it. And yes, those are lead drain lines for the sink & tub.

Cross posting. First time wearing a half/full face respirator for 5-6 hours in a warm, dusty environment. What's the best way to keep my skin from peeling off from the sweat and friction? Paper mask, bandana, or balaclava?

My house here in the PNW was built in 1947 and all the cast looks fine apart from build up on the inside of the pipes, I am guessing that I won't have to replace any of it in the near future unless I am re-plumbing something.
