There’s nothing more fun than cooking up some lead to use while installing a new toilet flange.
But I've soldered enough copper pipe....to know what that's like.
Tell you a funny story.........
I lived in SoCal when my kids were little...Had some great neighbors that were retired...and they adored my kids..and my kids adored them.
Had a backed up sewer..that I couldn't clear. Even with a roto-rooter. I lived in an older home...with clay-pipe sewer lines.
The line ran out from under my bathroom...along the property line of my neighbor. Right next to his driveway.
Anyway...I had dug up most of the line...and busted holes in the pipe..cleaned the clog and got things to flow again.
So I was out there...talking to my neighbor, telling him I was going to fix this the next day...with new ABS pipe, and fittings...all the while we are looking at an exposed in places sewer line.
Then I hear the bathroom toilet flush....I'm sure I looked pained...as the water, crap and kernels of corn come racing by!!!
My neighbor looks at me and says, "Guess you all had corn on the cob last night!" I could have died!!! LOL!!!
