You cut corresponding notches in the top of the joists to make them bend back in the other direction.

I'm looking forward to the post that explains how plumbing works inside the framework of plasma cosmology. I hope "skin effect" comes a up a lot.

Now I'm not a plumber, but other than the obvious joists issue, I'm also fairly sure that you'll never be able to get a snake past a T-junction set up like that. At least not without a fancy camera or something.

(I say this from personal experience, when a plumber did come to try to unclog a toilet in a rental I was in, and the pipes were set up like this, so the snake came up through the toilet of the neighbouring suite.)

Lol it was 1am. The neighbour woke up to a weird noise coming from her bathroom, and walked in to see a thing straight out of a horror movie flailing around out of her toilet bowl.

There was a story I read online years ago where a plumber was astonished to find a whole shower curtain when he snaked a clogged toilet, and meanwhile the lady in the next apartment was freaking out about the giant claw that erupted from her toilet and ripped down her shower curtain.

I read about a directional drilling crew who was curious about the sudden ease of feeding pipe when someone came running over the rise and reported that their drill string surfaced out the opposing side of the hill, skittered along the road, and then nailed a minivans sliding door.

"In my county no child would ever even think to try and flush way too much toilet paper at once. Even if they did, they'd be told to unclog it with their hands and then wash themselves using our sink that has a separate tap for hot and cold water so they don't become soft like those decadent Americans"
