gtblum Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 From today. I suggest periodically changing bags to limit the escape of sewer gas. How's that sound? Image Insert: 67.68 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Plastic bags work for me...think of it as recycling. Plus, I love squeezing into tight crawlspaces just for fun. BTW, Is that a flexible rubber hose attached via hose clamp to that PVC drain line beside the cast iron? Nuthin' like a twofer photo!

Yeah, it's flex hose but, it's wrapped with black electricians tape so it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Doesn't it have to be grounded if wrapped with electrician's tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 You know, I get worried sometimes that someone who was flipping burgers yesterday, and then went out and printed up some home inspector business cards this morning and is now a home inspector, is going to come on here one day, read some of this stuff, take it seriously and then pass it on to customers. Jeez! Besides, everyone knows that you don't repair a hole in a cast iron waste pipe with plastic bags, paper bags or duct tape; you use silicone caulk and a piece cut out of a plastic laundry detergent bottle.

Jeremy Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 See Gary? Another "Just caulk it" fan. Close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why real professionals use Soda bottles [^] If there is any soda residue it just self etches to the cast iron and when you use a clear one you can even see it working!

hausdok Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Oh! I'm sorry, did I forget to mention using the waist elastic from an old pair of briefs as backup to tie down the detergent bottle patch once it's been caulked in place? Sorry, my faux pas. I've found that Fruit of the Loom elastic seems to be the strongest and works swimmingly. I will acknowledge though that your soda bottle is a much more professional approach; I may have to rethink my own - after all, it can be a little bit of a pain stripping off my pants in that tight crawlspace in order to get my briefs off in order to cut away that elastic band.

Erby Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Mike, If you just carried your dirty Fruits in the pocket of your crawl space coveralls, you wouldn't have that problem. I never use the pair I'm wearing. I carry spares. Image Insert: 135.07 KB Image Insert: 105.48 KB - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Dang, There must be a wormhole between a crawlspace here and one in Kentucky; those are my briefs! I left them there after I ran into a rat and messed myself screaming like a little girl. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
