I Called In Sick Today

[Sickinfo2 291]

Beans is one of the few people who can make being an alcoholic who drives drunk endearing.It's really very masterful.

Thanks?

Right now we have 6 nights at Bills Gamblin' SaloonThe casino is a trash pit but the rooms were by far the best out of the three rooms we stayed in last year. Plus the location is perfect.

Other than a few times when a host "insisted" I stay the night, I dont know much about what the rooms are like in Vegas....I can say that Mandalay Bays are decent.... I was on the thirty third floor overlooking the topless pool, so I didnt pay much attention to anything other that what the binocs could focus onThe all you can drink promotion is so-so.... waiting on the waitress was for the birds so I trekked back and forth all day longSometime around the time you land they will have the trail from my cabana to the bar filled back in with sand

[El Guapo 8]

Thanks?

It was most definitely a compliment. Somewhat of a backhanded one, but it was one none-the-less*.*This entire sequence of posts was to set up a reason to use none-the-less in a sentence. Twice.

Beans, I have a plumbing problem/question for you.My tub is backed up, and it because the drain plug thing doesn't work anymore, so if we want to have the kids take a bath we drop it into place... which mean that it's just an open hole when no one is taking a bath or when we are draining the tub. This has caused a problem, since I'm pretty sure that a toy or ten has gone down the drain and now the tub is stopped up. Question #1: How can I unclog the drain. My snake doesn't do it, because the stupid design of the drain pipes. Here is a picture:The tub drain is hooked up with the toilet drain and so it has a gas trap and not one, not two, but THREE 90 degree turns [NOT INCLUDING THE TRAP, which makes it like seven 90 degree turns) over to the main drain. I want to unhook the pvc on the sewer trap, because I'm sure that's where the problem is... but I have no idea how to disconnect pvc. Saw it? Then re-glue a new trap in?Question #2: Can I somehow get the drain plug to work with the switch that's just under the facet on the tub? Or once they become unattached then I'm screwed? My tub is in a terrible location for working on it.

Those mechanical trip levers can be a pain.... You should be able to pull the entire rod/spring/stopper assembly up and out of the overflow. Wet a rag and stuff (haha) it in there to seal it up and plunge the shit outta the drain.... if you dont the air will just blow back out of the overflow and not pressurize the drain and p-trap. A "snake" has to go down the overflow opening to reach the trap because of the tight bends around the drain passageIf you do have a toy or something down there youll have to cut out the wall behind it, disassemble the waste and overflow assembly, and remove it that wayIf the plunging works, you can bypass the trip lever by replacing the drain with a "lift and turn" type...They sell them at Lowes with a matching solid overflow cover....unscrew the old drain by placing pliers handle first into the cross inside the drain and turning them with a large screwdriver.... place a bead of plumbers putty around the new one and tighten the same wayI can post pics of the process if ya need them...

Yes, I probably will need pics, since I'll definitely replace the drain cover with one of those lift and turn jobbys.I tried plunging it, but I didn't remove the plate on the overflow, so I'll try that, but I'm 98% sure that there are multiple toys down there(I have five kids under 10)... so I should probably just skip to the next step.How to I remove the PVC sewer gas trap?

You have to remove the overflow cover and hold a wet rag in the opening when plunging a tub drain.... since the two are connected below, the pressure takes the path of least resistance back up the overflow and not down the drain. A lavatory drain is the same way.... you have to plug the overflow holes in the front rim when plunging them or it wont unstop them...as well anywayI assume the house has a wood floor since you know how many fittings are in the system.... the trap is almost always connected to the tub waste by an inch and a half pvc nut and ferrule The P-traps themselves are almost always two piece and glued together.... saw it off a few inches past the ninety on the horizontal pipe it connects to and lower it straight down from the overflowRemove the obstructions, scrape out the soap scum, and glue it back on with a pvc coupling.... If it is a wood floor, you might want to replace the entire assembly with a new one....they are just twenty bucks or so and the lift and turn style flows better since it doesnt use the smaller drain that a trip lever style has to have

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!Done with the Bar exam. What a ****ing brutal experience. Now I have a few days off before I return to work thank god.Exam was eh. I had to work this summer which was an enormous disadvantage (none of my friends had to....not one). However, I crushed the essay section so hopefully that will be enough to pass.Did I miss anything good?

When do you find out how well you did?

Beans is one of the few people who can make being an alcoholic who drives drunk endearing.It's really very masterful.

Beans and Hunter S. Thompson.Beans, I have a stopped up lavatory and I know my tub, lav and toilet are all connected. I know because I can hear the toilet gurgle when the bathtub or sink drains, sometimes. Also, there's a pipe in the hall closet that seems to be open to the basement where an apartment sized washer and dryer once lived. I can hear it gurgle sometimes, too, when the tub drains. It's the lav that stops up more than anything and it's more stubborn to clear when it's slow.I've had the lav snaked to the sewer drain by the rooter guy, which lasted a while, and I've put lye in it (that was damn scary), which lasted less than a while. It's now stopped again, and I'm stupid about plumbing so the stuff you told Braveheart about cutting pvc and p-traps and stuff overwhelms me, just reading it. I'm really afraid that I'll reassemble stuff like this and it will leak all over creation. I've plunged and plunged (with the lav holes stuffed) and sometimes that works, but not so much today.My house is old (built 1952) and has wood floors (covered by subfloor and vinyl in the kitchen and bath). It has a full basement and a panel in our bedroom that gives access to the on/off valves for the tub.I guess what I'm asking, is how much do I have to pay a plumber to make my problem go away?

Yeah, I know it's not super old, but so many people are buying newly constructed cookie-cutters these days, I thought mine qualified as an old home.

[jeff_536 3]

Speaking of vacations it looks like ours is close to being finalized.Right now we have 6 nights at Bills Gamblin' Saloon and round trip direct flights to Vegas for under $800 after taxes and fees in mid September. Pretty excited. People look at us funny when we mention where we are staying but we stayed there one night last year and loved it. The casino is a trash pit but the rooms were by far the best out of the three rooms we stayed in last year. Plus the location is perfect.Hoping to also hit Mackinac Island for 2 days after I finish classes just to unwind. I love it there.

The Pai Gow tables there are like free money. FREE MONEY I TELL YOU.

The gurgle means that its more than just the drain line.... In order for a drainage system to work correctly, vents have to be placed strategically throughout it. Each fixture needs a way to "draw" fresh air from outside from the stacks that penetrate (hehe) the roofThink of it like this.... stick a straw in a Crown-n-Coke, cover the end with your finger, and pull it back out..... five will get you ten that most of the words in this tutorial searches back to your home thread.... the mixture stays in the straw until your finger is removed. Thats same reason that vents are needed in plumbing designHomes built in the fifties used cast iron and copper pipes for the drains.... the inherent problems with cast iron are high flow friction and poor corrosion resistance. After a few years the water and acidic residue from household cleaners and stuff like Liquid Plumber make the flow line even rougher and allows buildup to form, slowly making the pipe smaller and smaller. Sorta the same thing my wifes cooking is doing to my arteries. Eventually stopping up the entire drainage system, or in my case, putting me out of my miseryNow a few things a homeowner can do themselves without adding to the car collection of the local plumber....Your gurgles are caused by the isolation of the venting system due to buildup at the area they serve. Ill post a diagram showing the various types used during construction during the fifties...Find all vents exiting the roof of the house. Starting with the closest to the sewers exit outside the house, run a garden hose to it and flush with water for several minutes. If you have one of Bravys "snakes" use it down the vent stack as far as it will go while flushing water thru it. All home should have at least one vent stack of three inches diameter or greater according to the plumbing code and should be directly over a bathroom group if the plumber had any sense at all. This is the main vent stack. You should be able to "snake" the entire main trunk line from this point all the way to the sanitary sewer connection at the street or septic tank in Eriks case. Doing this will ensure that the system isnt air-locking and leads to the next step...Individual fixtures are much easier to unstop nowadays due to a grand invention called the bladder.....Shane calls them ****** dildos.... I dont, but I do giggle every time he says itThe theory is simple.... it attaches to a garden hose, inserts into the fixture drain, and expands against the pipe walls when pressurized. It has a small opening in the end that jets water inside the pipe and forces the blockage downstream. It works so well because even the worst clog has a tough time with the sixty or so pounds of pressure the hydrant offers. Most of my guys hook a garden hose to the water heater drain for even more cleaning power from the hot water. Use a hot water rated hose and not for too long at a time, though....a few incidents has occurred from doing it over the years.... most from alcohol The inch and a half ones work on lavatories and bathtubs.... you have to remove the p-trap under the sink and hold it in the wall drain while someone turns on the hydrant. Since most lavs are plumbed like my diagram, the "arm" will unstop without water rising in the vent going out the roof. This isnt guaranteed, though.... use it in short bursts of a minute of so and have a large pan handy in case you get backflowLooking at the kitchen sink diagram, if the horizontal arm is clogged the bladder will force it to the sanitary tee fitting and down the drain.... if the vertical line is clogged the water will rise in the vent stack and flood back in the house after the bladder is removed. In that case the bladder can sometimes be run down the vent from the roof past the horizontal arm without flooding problemsTo unclog a bathtub with it, remove the overflow cover and bend the bladder around and down as far as it will go. Us a wet rag and hold pressure against the tub drain while the bladder is pressurized. Remember to only use it for short periods until the drain is flowing freely.... they make them in several different sizes.... inch and a half for lavs, two inch for washing machines, three inch for toilets (not in the toilet, the pipe it sits on) and four inch for main outside service linesAs with all things, theres a risk involved.... pressurizing an old rotted line could result in damage. Never use it thru tubular traps under sinks or allow it to run for long periods unattended and you should be fine, thoughAny questions just fire away.... strat is giddy with anticipation Oh.... expect five hundred bucks or so for a certified professional licensed drunk to do it for ya

STOP PRAYING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE BRVHEART.

I thought of that. I don't really want to share you with the others but I just bought a new mouse and in the words of Beans, I nearly broke the scroll button on it whizzing past plumbing diagrams.

I just quoted and responded to a bunch of stuff...and lost it. There was nothing ground breaking in there anyway.I went to a shelter today and found the best kitten ever. He's the one on the left.He's cute, like most kittens, but more importantly he seems like a good egg. I was holding him upside down for about five minutes and he was perfectly happy just hanging out in my arms and closing his eyes while I scratched his chin, but when I put him down he started playing like a madman. His hair is a little longer than what I was looking for, but I could live with that. He has a brother that they're trying to adopt him out with, but the foster mom was volunteering that day and she said that for me (because I'm kind of awesome) they'd consider breaking them apart. They're getting older anyways, so it gets harder and harder to keep them as a pair...I told her to call me at the end of the weekend and we'd talk again. Saturday I'm going to a few more shelters and to see Timberlake, Malcolm, and Dewey.

My wife just reminded me of something from our weekend in S.F.We were walking by the Westin which is right next to the Marriott and there were these exotic sports cars, looked like a mix of Ferrari and Lamborghini. As we walked by, the were trying to get it out of the parking garage without scratching it while taking them into a court yard to show them off. The douchebag that is driving starts revving the engine probably to 6-7000 RPMs, with the clutch in. The whole time the old hag in the passenger seat is screaming "no, don't do it!" Then this tool decides to pop the clutch, but does it so poorly that he burned up the clutch. The thing was smoking and stunk. Turns out he was the owner of the company. I wish I could remember the name, but the symbol was a V an S, sorta like this:But with a much fancier font. They were italian cars, and besides the 3 or 4 homeless guys walking around, everyone there seemed to work for the guy. It was strange.

The one on the right reminds me of a cat we used to have. He was actually my brother's cat but when my brother came back home from school we got to keep him for a few years. Not long after he started living with us we got a weiner dog puppy, and they used to just play in the hilarious way that cats/dogs usually do. The weiner dog would get all excited and freak out wanting to play and the cat would just lay there annoyed occasionally getting up to put a whooping on the puppy (pretty huge cat), but he was just so awesomely mellow. Never whined, just an eerily quiet cat that seemed fine handling all his affairs but would still come sleep with you.Plus you could put him a cardboard box, close the lid and leave him in there and he seemed perfectly fine with this arrangement (We always took him back out quickly anyway). He used to have access to the outdoor through a hole in the pool screen but he always came back so we were cool with it. Anyways, then one day he just disappeared into thin air. We drove around looking for him, checked shelters and we just never heard a word of him again. Such a bummer because he was probably about as awesome a cat as we ever had or could have really and we just have no idea what happened to him. Sigh cats. Also another one of our cats back in the day gave me a tick but that's a cat story for a different day!

my house is VIRGINIA old. chew on that one for a minute. also, came downstairs this morning to hear yet another leak somewhere under my kitchen sink. sounds like it's in the wall somewhere, possibly between the hot water heater and the sink. still have hot water though, so that's weird. beans, please fix it without me providing any more information or having to do anything thnx.

That sounds like a lot of work. Damn. I'm going to try it, maybe this weekend, hopefully with Dave's help. I have one of those bladder hose things that I tried using to unclog a sink drain. It was unsuccessful then, but I assume I was using it improperly after reading your description of the proper use. I hate dealing with plumbing and water. There's some hilarity in the army thread from a year or so ago (maybe 2? The time gets away from me.) where I nearly blew myself up trying to fix the gas water heater that wouldn't stay lit. I ended up replacing the whole burner assembly. I almost did the whole job myself, but I couldn't get the door to go back on properly afterward, so I left that to Dave. I was on serious tilt by the end. I once installed a new gas water heater myself, too. This was when I learned never to buy the floor model and that Lowe's salesmen will lie to you. I ended up resolving the non-working new floor model water heater debacle by demanding that Lowe's send out a new water heater (NOT the floor model) with someone to install it and haul off the broken one for free. The manager did just that. Thanks for the help. I appreciate your willingness to give free advice on such a wide range of repair issues.

He is adorable. I don't know how you manage to shop around so much. I'd fall in love and just take one home on the first day. Especially with kittens.
