Reach4... the problem is that they ran the copper outside the studs rather than drilling holes and running it so that the copper stay inside the walls. I can't push a vanity cabinet that has a back on it against the wall because it will hit the 1/2" copper pipe which is sticking out beyond the...

My bubble did burst when I realized the mistake I may have made... so I opened up the wall and found that it is a separate vent for the tub... bubble re-inflated. I have a new problem. I knew the drywall at the floor was "bulging" and assumed it was from getting wet. I was shocked to find the...
