OK guys I bit the bullet and ordered a 4" Pipe Hog, on clearance at **************.com. I think this will give me the best chance at a cleanly reamed fitting to start over with. I'll probably start at the top and try it to get a little experience and then with confidence go to the lowest...

What about cutting off flush with the top of one of the vertical connectors and then using a No-Hub to go to a new section of pipe? I'm thinking that or the rambit technique is my first likely attempt. The budget is so incredibly thin I just have to figure how to get it done. I truly wish I...

Hello all: I'm adding a new bathroom in an old house second floor. So far have a new 3" drain installed all the way to the ceiling in the room below. I have the subfloor removed in the second floor remodel area and can see my new 3" 90 poking up through the ceiling below (encased in a nice...
