    Warned on inspectors...

    You must understand, coach, that the reason that the inspector "got out with stickers in hand" is that he has known the plumber for more than thirty years, has been through the mistakes the plumber has made, and knows that if 'this particular plumber' is doing the job, then its going to be done...

    Wow... a great education

    Warned on inspectors...

    whats important.... there is a very important phrase in most code books that is often overlooked, but it makes all the difference in the world, and that phrase is, "up to the discretion of the inspector".....Building inspectors are like the IRS, in that their say is final and there is no venue...

    Wow... a great education

    dang......... Hey man, we are not all illegal aliens.....some of us are eager apprentices trying to learn a trade the same way you did..the fact that we are using plastic instead of sweating copper isnt our fault, its what the spec calls for...and not only do i have the inspectors standing on...

    alternate use of kitchen handheld sprayer

    ok im just thinking here, so what if you use a regular two-handle tub/shower valve with a spout diverter, come off of the shower line and adapt a mip-to-1/4 fitting that a lot of sprayer hoses attach to.........then you could drill an appropriate size hole, use the sprayer escutcheon, and...
