My kitchen sink, sump pump, and washing machine all use the same drain line that is currently not vented. When the sump pump kicks on it blows bubbles in the kitchen sink, then when it shuts off it siphons some of the water out of the trap and gurgles. There is no toilet connected to this line...

Hey guys :D

I'm redoing my bathroom and need some advice on how to redo the drains. Here's a drawing of what I have now: I'd like to keep the toilet and sink where they are, but the tub will be replaced by a shower so I'll need to redo that part. The current toilet drain is cast iron with the sink and...

So i have been tasked with plumbing up an air system in our new building from scratch and wondering what my options are. Ones I can think of are: Copper (too expensive) Galvanized steel pipe (maybe) DOT air line (line isn't bad but fittings are pricey) PEX (?) PVC (i know...it could explode and...

I'm looking at getting a Richmond 6EP6-1 for my camper because the OE water heater was allowed to freeze and burst by the P.O... I found the dimensions (15.75" x 15.25") but what i can't find are the required clearances. I like this heater because of the flat top and it's short enough to fit...

I just want to say thank you very, very much. You know why. :)

Ok all you experts, my turn...:D I recently purchased a camper that wasn't winterized properly and the water lines burst. Right now they are some kind of semi-flexible gray plastic. If i can find the correct end fittings, can i use PEX in a mobile setting? Or is there something else you'd...

Was out mowing and i swear i never felt the mower hit the tree. Tree fell on the cab and ended up laying on the driveshaft... It was just a truck, about 12" across, and very very rotted...

I'm looking for a power steering pump to run as a high (85-90 psi) pressure oil pump. I'm trying to find one that doesn't have a built in oil reservoir so i can just hook lines up to it. Anyone know what vehicles i should look at?

If you have dail-up, turn back now.... You've been warned... :D

Ok guys, need some recommendations for a water softener. Our water hardness is about 15-20ppm. We have Lowes and Menards locally. I checked at Menards and all they carry in the store are Waterboss (poor reviews on amazon) and Morton system saver. At Lowes the 30k grain Whirlpool model has very...

I'm planning a two week vacation/ road trip to visit some friends in CA and MI to take place about late Oct/ early Nov 2011. Any recommended stops? I plan on hitting a few parks (I love the photo opportunities). Anyone want me to come see them (I might request food )? I'll have about 14...

Anyone know about fireplaces? I have one that i've never used. It doesn't have a damper. I lit a piece of paper and even with it at the back smoke drifted out into the room. Is this normal? I assume not.... If it works properly i mihgt use it to offset the heating bill, but not if it's going...

I don't know how many of you guys like to, but i like to bake stuff. My mom got me started on it early, helping her bake breads and cookies for the fair. I also helped her with canning, but that's for another time. Along the lines of Chris's thread, if you like to bake, post up a picture and...

My mom-in-law's bathroom is having drain troubles. After running the tub for a few minutes the drain line seems to fill up and then the water in the sink/tub will rise. The toilet also gurgles, as if air is being pushed out of it. As a test, i flushed the toilet 3 times. The first two drained...

After seeing a HUGE jump in our water bill (triple) in one month, it seems we have a leak. The only thing i can find leaking anywhere in the house is a steady drip from the tub faucet. Surely not the amount the bill is, but a leak nonetheless. Problem is, I can't find any identifying marks on...
