It sounds like you got most of it out. Anything remaining will probably just get washed out.

I have a Porter Cable finish nailer that shoots 3/4 - 2 1/2 inch nales. No problems. I forget the model number, but it is a pretty popular model.

It will most likely work just fine. You can always add an air admittance valve in the basement as well. However, this installation will not likely satisfy any code. I believe most ejectors call...

The riser clamps should take care of it. Also, if the upside down hub is in a vent portion, then there is not much of a risk of leakage even if you disturb the seal a bit.

I used type L in my house by choice rather than requirement. However, with the price of copper rising by the day, I would probably use type M today.

Check with your local building department. In my municipality, when you install a direct vent boiler leaving a water heater alone on a chimney, they make the installer certify that the water heater...

Panasonic fans are great.

You can put the drain wherever you want, but it just makes it a little harder to install the pan and finished tile. In your situation, the short area behind the drain will have a steep pitch for a...

Can you just turn the water on?

Your plan is fine as far as a weather barrier is concerned, but as Jad pointed out, vapor barriers serve one purpose and Tyvek type products serve another. If you like the T-111 and it is...

I am not sure of the situation you are describing. Do you have a walk out basement?

While the pipe smells like a plumbing vent, are you sure that the previous owner did not run an empty conduit fromt he basement up the attic just in case he had to fish electrical wires in the...

They make epoxy paints for your purpose, but I doubt anyone will recommend them. You can have the tub professionally reporcelenized which will look good, but as someone else pointed out, the new...

I doubt anyone will have a problem with pvc. Cast iron is great for reducing noise, but if you are replacing basement waste pipes, there is no reason not to use pvc.

I would give some thought to the trap design. I do not know what your heating season is, but that trap will likely go some time without receiving any water. In order to avoid losing your trap seal,...

First, make sure the pipes are aligned and that the gasket is in place. Check to make sure the gasket is not deformed or defective. Next, try not tightening it quite so tight. Perhaps the gasket...

I am with Bob. Around here (NJ) they would probably freak out if you were doing anything to disturb the leech field much less the lines themself. I am sure that any town around here would want at...

I have no advice for you, but I have to ask, why?

It sounds more complex than it probably really is. I say probably because you never know what you will find in a wall until you actually start cutting. However, If your trap arm fits into a...

Is there any real advantage of using foam pipe insulation on cold water pipes to reduce sweating and hot water and heating pipes when those pipes will be in fiberglass insulated walls? I am seeing...

I would be surprised to find a copper radiant system installed in 1989, but I guess it is possible. I agree about staying away from a copper in concrete radiant system. It is also possible that you...

If you had an access panel, I guess you could. I do not think that is a common installation, but I guess it would work just fine.

I don't suppose there is a removable pin in the hinge.

I never knew that pipe insulation was rated to any temperature. You can always recycle some asbestos insulation which can insulate nearly anything. Other than the cancer part, it works great. I...

I agree with Terry, tighten some more before you concede defeat. If you remove the valve, you can lubricate with dishwashing detergent or whatever else floats your boat.
