welding- you lose your eye sight even with the ‘guard’ on.
painting- you lost all your sence of smell.
i could be wrong but are carpentry and plumbing the safest or whats the deal??!??!??! i mean considering i wanna live as healthy and as long as possible for myself and others…

I work for a plumbing company(family), and I am trying to get my dad to stop doing work for the tenants without the landlords permission, due to the fact that I believe he can be sued for entering and altering a property that incur’s charges without the deedholder/landlords permission.?

I have a 2 storey house and the contractor has put 2 4inch mains into the house where these mains under the foundation he has made a p trap out of 4inch 90s and also has traps under the floors for sinks etc. I am worried that this will not work and that 1 trap per fixture is all that is required sinks tubs showers etc. except toilets as they have there own trap with these 2 -4 inch traps are things going to drain ?
this house is in mexico and odes an practices are different and I dont want him to start digging for nothing

I just had an inspection on a home I’m under agreement to purchase and I’m overwelmed! The top 13 rows of brick on the chimney are shot along with the lining in the 2 flues. The roof shingles are on the brink of failure and the rafters can’t be vented because the cathedral ceiling is insulated without baffles. the sills and window frames are rotted, the bottom 2′ of board and batten siding is seriously rotted, we will need to move the electric meter to access some of the rotted siding, one toilet moves, one leaky heat pipe, bottom of garage door is rotten. We also need gutters. My time frame is narrow so any experience/advice on price would be appreciated. Thank you

I purchased a propane tankless hot water heater for our cabin. I want to use an above ground cistern for my water source, however when I read the instructions, I found out that the unit has an inlet valve that requires a minimum of 30 psi to operate. I am looking for a small 110v centrifugal pump to create the required pressure, but I don’t know which one will get it done. Most of the pumps are rated in GPH and not psi. My water inlet is 1/2″. Can I use a submersible or will I need a remote unit - say 1/2 hp, 1″ output @ 330 GPH and use it to create more pressure when I reduce it to 1/2″?

Want water for dish and hand washing, not boiling ! Assumed to be electrically heated.

I feel so dumb. I turned off both the cold & hot water to see if it would shut the water off outside (didn’t). But when I turned it back on, no water comes out of the tap on the hot side (kitchen & bathroom!). I keep fiddling with both, along with the valve - it comes on, but doesn’t stay on. Help!

I left my job with a local govt about 2 and a half years ago because they were changing the scope of the program I worked with and I didn’t feel super safe (I had to do inspections of clients homes). So I looked and found a private group that paid much better. But, it also meant weekends and a little longer hours and fewer holidays. Plus, the kicker-the person I was supposed to replace in 6 months decided not to leave and he is realy negative person who makes the whole office miserable. So I saw an add today for a position with my former place that is something I would like and have had training for and could do. Plus back to a M-F 9 to 5 hour for lunch, all holidays off and great benefits. So, should I apply and how do I do that short of saying “I made a mistake and want to work for the government again”. I did leave on good terms and the person who replaced me was someone they re-hired after leaving 7 years prior.

from? when a brand new house is built how is all of the plumbing system designed? how do the contractors build the way in which water will come into the bathroom sink? how complex of a system is this? does anyone know? how are plumbing systems designed to work in conjunction to septic systems? need someone’s opinion on this.

I live in a rented flat and when I first moved in the toilet was fine. I noted recently that the pipe that joins the toilet to the wall was dripping. I called my landlord who said that he sorted it out. He looks as though he’s wrapped the pipe in some bandage type firm stuff and covered it in this kind of putty paste material. Anyways it had pretty much stopped dripping, but I sat on it the other night and it was dripping like a tap! So I had a look and it had stopped. Basically, we’ve worked out that when you sit on it, the weight kind of moved the ceramic part behind the toilet (just under the tank where the seat hinges are attached) completely moved forward and this must do something to the seal on the pipe, like open it up because it drips a LOT before returning back to no drips when there’s no pressure on the seat.
I have informed in landlord but I am just wondering how much work this type of job actually requires? What needs doing?
