We have Qest and and have had no leaks - it may be ours to keep forever LOL. No leaks, all copper crimp rings and fittings so it should last a while I hope.

Yeouch. We got a pedestal sink that looks very similar to the ones pictured on the site for under $100 at Home Depot.

If I might make a recommendation - I have an outside faucet with about a 12' run in the ground, about 6" down, with about a 30' riser to a hose bib. It has a shutoff and a "drain port" where it leaves the house. It was all Schedule 40 PVC. I'd forever forget to shut the thing off before a...

Try again - can't use the toilet riser as a stack. Also had to move things around to get away from floor beams, etc.

Revised yet again How much room I have to work with:

Starting from left - Schedule 20, Sch 20 clean out (glue? what glue?) , red clay pipe, 1" copper from tub, gray plastic 90 ?inspection port? with rag plug, 4" iron. The transitions between the various materials and pipe sizes was encased in concrete and brick. I don't have a picture of the...

Revised: I understand from reading other posts that the vent by the tub will have to be moved such that the vent pipe comes up vertical or at least rises at a 45. That'll take some more scheming to figure out pipe layout to accommodate the tub trap connection.

Better now?

Thanks - did forget the dimensions. The room is 6' x 7 1/2' with a 24" door. That does sound like a better idea. I can make the underfloor dimensions do what I want - aside from the bit of Qest under there, there is just a bunch of iron abandoned in place. Between the sawsall and a shovel...

Without knowing what the pot was sealed up with, I'd suggest getting a plumber to re-seat the toilet for you. With a wax ring and a new hold down kit, it doesn't take very much time at all - provided the flange is in good shape. If it does not sit flat to the floor, it needs to be shimmed some...

Hate 'em. Wife hates 'em. A dedicated fan vented outside is preferred in this house. And we know a couple of folks with the u-wave over stove deal - in each case, the countertop unit out performs the built in. My wife is short and I'm tall, so in our remodel the vent is going up more...

I have a bathroom going in and I'm having a bit of a problem getting a handle on venting things properly. The black line is the outside sewer. There was a bunch of crap there - schedule 20 to clay to iron all wrapped with concrete. One good blow from a sledge - All gone now. I'll post a pic...

Just my opinion from working on our house built in 1926 - knock that crap out and go back with schedule 40. You're already in the wall, go the extra mile and you won't have to worry about it later. I'm in the process of removing the last of iron pipe from our house drains. A few blows with a...
