WillyBob Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 we excel at it. Mornin' all Blended coffee this AM. Mexican/Peruvian. Last of the Mex and top of the Peruvian. Came nice Gonna get warm the next few days. Not sure how long 100's are predicted. Saw a few days. A little ahead of normal. No indication of what is to come. Last year was warm and dry. Real dry. Good rain for 3 week of the "monsoon" and then it stopped. Halfway thru the season, it stopped. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maby my better looking brother I never met, the mailman's kid ? But really I don't look bad, from a distance, like a few hundred feet.

CECAA850 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Morning all. Just checking in. We're just about to hit the road to Houston. Son in law needs help with a plumbing project. The lead waste pipe going to one of his commodes is cracked under the slab. I've already had him bust the concrete out so I get to do the easy part of the repair which is to replace it. I'll check in later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 that sounds like too much fun. Plumbing isn't bad as long as it's new install. Old sewer pipe is the down side. Big time. I dunno if it's safe for me to wear a sarong [however bad I look] around you guys. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I plumb ANY thing I may as well start at the street! Ahhhhh NO! Not me! Yuck! Call my oldest daughter and she accomplishes the mission and comes out from under the sink or wherever laffin at me!

CECAA850 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 When I got here there was a hole in the slab. I had to put the bushing in the cast iron bell and come out with pvc. It's a bugger getting the pvc in the bushing. That took the longest. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crappy job well done, looks like the son in law did the worst part, as it should be. Just tell him when the cement dries just remove the duct tape and aim for the pipe. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need a toilet flange before the concrete goes in? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll flush cut it then use a floor flange that glues inside the 4 inch pipe. If you want to use a flange that glues on the outside of the pipe you wrap the pipe with cardboard then pull the cardboard out after the cement dries. It leaves a void for the hub of the flange. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been what I used, I do not remember leaving any opening around the pipe. They could probably have it all back together in a couple of days I would guess. How did they know it was leaking under the slab, or was it leaking on top also ? I would think that would have been pretty expensive if a plumber was called. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
