I am trying to decide if I am a bone head & made an avoidable problem or was a learning opportunity. I got plugs, dollar caps?, installed and sump pit emptied fine into septic tank. No broken/froze pipes, except the pipe I broke. It was going to be demo'd anyway. So, I guess having 3...

Thanks Guys! Do ya think those to openings was the problem vs frozen or broken lines? I'll give it a cautious try tomorrow.

P.S. Had to run to hardware store for some electrical boxes and grabbed 2 plugs. Reuseable-type, 2 metal plates w/ rubber guts that expand when tightened w/ wing nut on top. Going up into attic now for electrical junction box installing, smokes, etc.

I made a big mess for myself yesterday. I ran sump pump and it blew up into the demo'd mstr bath old 1X diagional sub floor boards and/or open closet flange & open tub drain. :) In Michigan, 1934 neglected house I bought that I am totally renovating. Currently, sump pump is running thru...

Why golf? I do wear bi-focals so my vision is not excellent.

Just curious, anyone doing much mowing currently? :) Now that I think about it. I actually have mowed once in January & another time in Feb. I was late w/ my last mow of season and the other I was mulching/chopping up yard debris at a foreclosed house i just bought. I live in the midwest...

Thanks Mark. I forgot to mention if it was an old plumber method. Well, glad it's not bondo or tartar! :D

LOL! Heat sink...funny :D Oh Yeah, was the consensus yah or nah to radiant floor heat. I got lost in some of the detailed posts. Can anyone summarize? I was thinking of using it in the other bath remodel.
