Angered, the gazebo releases mold spores in your direction. You try to run, but don't get very far because of the giant block of concrete you've been pointlessly dragging through the entire thread. Overencumbered, you reflect on why you even bothered to keep bringing it with you, but it's been so long you can't even remember why it was brought up on the first place. This is your last thought as the mildew spores take hold, leaving nothing but darkness and regret

mostlygray posted:I know it looks like a sink, but seriously, people pee in these all the time in industrial facilities. You use the foot pedal to run the water. Maybe it wasn't what they were designed for, but every time I've seen one, people are pissing in them. Welcome to Veterans Stadium at the end of any quarter. (content) So, it was time to replace the kitchen counter. Plus the drywall tape was sagging at the chimney. Plus the chimney's been abandoned for years. Plus we have very little counter space. So: let's surgically remove the chimney!  Eventually, found a clay cross-pipe sticking into the clay liner. Removed cross pipe with crowbar. See daylight. poo poo.   When the coal-fired home heating appliance was removed from the dining room sometime after WWII, they stuck a brick fragment in the flue pipe & buttered it with plaster. I actually found the plug while cleaning up, and am very tempted to caulk it in place & put a l'il wooden cleat behind it, since I have that access now.

OSU_Matthew posted:Oh hey, I'm going to be doing the exact same thing here before too long! How difficult was it? Is the best thing to do just start at the top and chuck bricks inside the chimney till you get far enough down you can easily remove them? Mine is about two stories plus half an attic with a big fuckoff concrete plug Maul & a cold chisel to start. This was old (1930) concrete U-block with weak mortar. Once the first course was off & the clay liner exposed, I used a pry bar to pop the block sections loose and lift them off. Once more than half of the clay liner is exposed, you can just slide the sections up & out. The toughest parts are passing through framing; there's not a lot of wiggle room, usually. I used the cold chisel to break the block into smaller sections. Once one part was removed, it was a lot easier to maneuver the rest out of the tight spot. Other than that, it was pry - pop - remove to yard. poo poo's heavy and makes a hell of a mess. Stop periodically to vacuum up dust & bits. Have bagged cans handy to chuck in the larger bits. Pile the rest outside. If you are fortunate enough to have a cement plant nearby, beg or borrow a pickup & take it there; once you check in with them, they'll tell you where to dump it. It's recyclable, even the clay liners. I would advise against chucking the smaller debris down the flue. It accumulates faster than you think. My house is 1.5 stories, so the entire run was maybe 21' from the roofline. I took it out down to the floor joists in the basement - about fourteen feet, so I still have another seven feet to go - and that seven feet is packed with debris. Wear gloves, or use lotion at the end of the day. Concrete will suck the moisture right out of your (chafed) hands. And for the love of god, don't get cute & try to undercut it & hope to drop like six feet at a time or something. You will pulp parts of yourself if you're lucky, or become a statistic if you are not. Gravity is not your friend on jobs like this.

Look at the 4x4 in the front. Looks like it has an inch or so notched out from the bottom 2 feet. I'm marking off "built with scrap" on my bingo card.

Those posts look lovely (and no footings???) but it's obviously just a wheel chair ramp they added in, no need to remove the stairs. The next people to use the house can then just demo the ramp and have normal stairs back. I see that all the time with old people "aging in place". A lot of these olds get their kids to come build them a ramp or something, so they're not always built to the highest standards. Specially because the people building them don't expect the ramp to be needed for long

Like I've mentioned before, for the past 6 months, we've had an issue of waste collecting in the bowl of our master bathroom even when we don't use it. We've had the builder send their contractors round multiple times now, and they've really not resolved the issue. In the past: - They installed a non-return valve, but that got blocked up pretty quickly and they removed it - Supposedly increased the drop twice. This is what the riser looks like:  The plumbers proposal is to run two branches to the riser.  But I'm not entirely convinced. I can't even see how they're going to get two junctions onto that pipe *and* have them both flow downhill. I'm not even sure this is the cause of the issue any more, Could this also be caused by a sag in the pipe? It also looks like that entire riser was an afterthought. I wonder if the hole in the concrete we found on the stairs was meant for that riser, or the soil pipe was meant to be somewhere else.
