Inspectorjoe Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 On my first walk around the exterior, I spotted this PVC pipe exiting the master bathroom wall. I figured I'd find out what it was when I got inside. It turned out that I was wrong. It's capped of at the wall. The seller (deceased) put in an extensive jerry-rigged irrigation system. This obviously isn't part of it, but seems to be made of leftover pipe and fittings from that project. Does anybody have any guesses as to what it was used for? All I could come up with, is to save water, he used to take a wiz in something that was connected to it, letting it drain into the gutter (then out on the ground). I hope I'm wrong!

Inspectorjoe Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 That's doubtful. It's a small bathroom on the second floor and the house had central air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 You put a funnel in the interior end and then you've got a place to expectorate your chew while you're taking a bath. Ptoo! ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Maybe it's a fire escape for a pet mouse. People do stupid stuff for their pets. I had a mystery pipe like that about a month ago, drain pipe out the wall, down into the perimeter drains, which empty into the city storm drains. When I got inside, I found a kitchen sink with a new drain. They'd capped the old illegal drain pipe with duct tape. It would have taken 2 minutes to rip the stupid thing out.

Jim Baird Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just like the one in the "fort" our neighborhood gang built in a woodsy backyard, where secret cig smoking also went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
