Seems like it was 3 inch. It goes about 8 feet back behind me to the exterior wall. It travels down to a much larger drain.

Any reason for a P-trap, minus a vent, mid way down a long drain run? No sink upstream, just a clean out. Good luck with that. Click to Enlarge 62.7 KB

Turned out to cost around 500 to remove it via stump grinder boy.

Yep, went to their site. DuroLast it is. PVC.

Grab a beer for this one: Just got a call. My phone said it was from South Lake Tahoe, where I lived for a while once. I gleefully answer it. It's the contractor for the house with the goofy flashing in my previous post. He's pissed that I said that it's possible that the replacement vinyl frame windows could have been put in incorrectly and I recommended seeing if there was any kind of warranty on them. Also, how could I suggest that having no ventilation in the roofing could hide or lead to interior moisture damage. "That's not my job to speculate". "If I saw no damage then there is no damage". He lost the deal based on my report. He might pursue legal action. I listened and tried to be polite. Why not? What have you got to loose? In my first or second year doing this I looked at a house in another town. The owner was a prison guard, bless his heart. Anyway, they have too much money, considering, and he fixed up a house and I blew his sale, too. I listened to him bitch for 30 minutes or so. Hell, I did not have another job, etc. He spoke of suing too. I was nice, somewhat, and he went away. His house had siding where the vertical ends of the siding weren't on studs. The master bathroom wall was 2 feet short of the ceiling and the next room was the kitchen. Etc. I was fairly nice to this guy, somewhat, and we'll see what happens. Never heard from him again. Time being spent soothing the savage beast is better than time spent monkeying around in court, even if on a bogus claim, if you have the time. Like road rage, you don't want to be dead right.

Smooth like vinyl flooring.

Vinyl, PVC, TPO are all forms of plastic. It wasn't EPDM.

Seems to be in very good condition. It's an estate sale, so I do not know how old the roof is. I'm guessing PVC, but I'll just call it plastic in my report.

The siding is all vinyl. Is the roof vinyl?

I gave it the Morgan action this morning. Scraped the bottom edge. It's cement board. Click to Enlarge 32.66 KB

I added some verbiage. That word sounds dumb.

Yep, when in the interior then one side shouldn't be any colder than the other.

Does this pony wall that is covered on both sides by plywood need to be vented? Seems like it. Click to Enlarge 27.09 KB

9 years crawling now. I get into some pretty tight spots sometimes. Last Thursday it was crawl across an addition built over the old driveway. 12" clearance deal 18 ft or so, then off to the left. The main house was about 12" at the joists too. Furnace duct to the left, perimeter to the right. Had to go under a drain via a ditch. Maybe 10" clearance. Turn left go through a bunch of left over wire, over a drain, under two beams all via a long narrow ditch. Again some 10" squeezes. Width about 20". I've got overalls on, knee pads, elbow guards. I get to the far wall and think about not getting hot, which I am. I look down the perimeter to the far end, like 20 feet away, and think about going down there which doesn't have much room either, make a right, go a little further and get stuck way over there. Maybe have to turn around and come out the same way. Uh oh, I feel it coming on. I back up 7 feet to were there is a vent. Yikes, let me out of here. Start freaking out. I'm looking out the vent like a prisoner in Vietnam. Settle down I tells myself. Get cooled off. I see my client's legs as they walk by the vent. I say nothing. They might make it worse for me if they realized I was flipping out. 5 minutes go buy. I start to cool off. I start to regain composure. I turned around and got the hell out of there. Besides the vertical clearance being really low, the passage way was very narrow and filled with obstacles. If it's tight and hot, think not.

Thanks Mark.

100 yr old house. Lots of stucco patching. Long vertical line at foundation level. Looks like flexible patch material peeling in places. Does this look bad? Or is it just what happens? Click to Enlarge 103.25 KB Click to Enlarge 41.32 KB Click to Enlarge 33.39 KB Click to Enlarge 25.77 KB

You guys aren't going to believe this! The next door house, which is identical, has the same problem. No, really. And Chad, I did touch one of the 120's to a nearby pipe and instantly heard a man yell from up above. Holy crap. Nobody said anything to me when I came out, and left. Click to Enlarge 51.7 KB

That black wire, which was hot, was even closer to the supply pipe before I moved it. Click to Enlarge 51.24 KB
