Thanks Wayne! Yeah, I can't think of many people who would tackle that project with me just out of the kindness of their heart. She and her husband are the ones who got down there with me and tore out the cast iron. Can't put a price on friends like that.
I'm glad you mostly approve of our work.
I can certainly add more straps. I noticed the dip in the upstream end just at the coupling. I tried to get it adjusted but didn't quite nail it. That was about 11 hours into the project so I'll take a fresh look when I go back down. Getting the proper fall on the 2 inch line was also more challenging than I anticipated but we did finally get it.
I see what you're saying about using the shielded coupling on the vent pipe. One question about changing that fitting. I know I have a small space between the vent pipe and PVC because I had to adjust it down a smidge to meet the lower connection. Since that is just a vent connection, would it be reasonable to cut the rubber gasket then wrap the shield around it instead of cutting the pipe and using two of them?
