Thanks!
I'll give the 3" street a try.

What's clocking me in the head here is the fact that the joists are nominal 4 x 6. If I had a more modern house with 2 x 8's or better, I'd be in business and not have to bother you guys so much!...

Thanks Guys!
That's a great idea to get diamonds involved! Sometimes I don't see what's smack, dab in front of my face. I just used my dry-cut 4" to pre-score some concrete for a clean break out....

Thank You Basement_Lurker & HJ!

For the ceiling, I appreciate the warning! It is just 2x2's and a couple of tree branches holding up the closet ceiling. I don't know why the original contractor...

To All Who Took The Time To Post On This Thread,
This thread was a fun one! Thank you for letting me join in.
It is nice when people can have differing opinions and enjoy a pleasant back-and-forth!...

Thanks for replying!
I was trying to avoid the 4 x 3 so I don't have to enlarge the hole in the tiled floor to fit the 4" part. I'll surely find a way to wreck some tiles along the way!
But, if a...

I suppose your interpretation of the reason the paragraph exists could be valid. But, as we all know, each AHJ has their own take on things. I'd be more inclined to pass a shared circuit if the...

Hi Jimbo

I looked at the part (4 x 3 Ell) but I don't understand what you're telling me. Is it that it is OK to use a long sweep? (Actually a normal 3x3 short sweep would fit in the bay, if that's...

Hi All
It looks like this thread got kind of grouchy! (Hopefully all in good fun!)
It also looks confusing. The writer, Ken, has lots of great responses from you folks. If you all don't mind, I'd...

Good Day Everyone!
I have a project coming up where I'd like to 'elevate' a toilet waste line. Right now, it runs horizontally in a very low ceiling storage closet. The closet is going to be...

Thanks for the note about unclogging the drain. I didn't even think about how difficult it would be to send an auger through a trap from a, more or less, horizontal approach. My house has a similar...

Hi Everyone!
I've got a P Trap question that I would appreciate advice on. I searched the forum and managed to get myself all confused. Here's the crazy situation:

I want to add a bathtub in the...

If I bang my head on it one more time, I'm afraid I will permanently change the relative position of the island known as my brain!
Got to put something in front of it soon!

Thanks for the info...

Plumbing's been on my mind al lot these days, with projects. So, I've been here for hours on end, studying and asking. An often forgotten plumbing question popped into my head today (when I bashed my...

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will check what code Detroit uses & the Wet Venting situation. But, in all honesty, he will not be permitting the job.
Why? A Couple of Examples of Our Fair City...

Hi All
A family member presented me with an interesting problem he is working on in his house. I was not sure what I was about to tell him was correct, so i thought I'd pass by all of you experts...

Thanks for the good advice!
Since rolling the toilet trap arm down makes an "S" Trap, I'll leave the soil stack where it is. Sometimes what seems like a great idea goes goofy in the details! But,...

I'm new here, so I don't know if I've earned the right to express my opinion- but..
I'm a master electrician, but also ran the skilled trades department for a company managing NASCAR and NFL venues,...

Hi Everyone
First, please pardon me if this shows up twice. I thought I posted it, but I think I deleted it by mistake, as I can't find it. Me plus[I] computers [I]equals Trouble!

Second, I have...
