Was that poison ivy in the picture with the hose bibb?

What is that thing that broke off in the last pic? Is that a gas line?

I don’t think that’s poison ivy....

Nothings broken off, that’s my sewer machine cable snd cutter head that came out of a hole in the pipe and then bored it’s way out of the ground. I heard it slapping the fence

How did that come apart so clean in the socket?

It was never solvent welded. It fit very tight but leaked a tiny bit. No solvent at all.

I’m on the way to my last job, easy day so far.

The shower faucet job added a couple toilet repairs to the list. I replaced the ballcocks and flappers. Each one took 10 minutes, the toilets are only 5 yrs old. Extra 125.00

Is that elbow in the bottom some sort of shutoff for the other stuff? I can't really tell. It's all old and corroded looking. I hate freestanding tubs. LOL.

No cut offs. The 90 to the left by itself is a discontinued gas line. They use to have natural gas space heaters in the bathrooms.

I worked on an old tub like that once.
All the old pipes used to be coated in silver plate, I believe.
House was built in 1863.
