codes
CODES apply to the plumbing installations, and that means they apply to ALL stuctures in the code's area, not just everything except farms. Although the typical farmer does think he is proficient, and an expert, in everything. (My dad finally had to move from a farm area, because they all thought they were plumbers, and when they did need him they wanted to pay him with a piece of equipment, such as a manure spreader.) Just because there is no inspections, usually because of budget constraints, does not mean the logic, and requirements, behind them have suddenly been magically eliminated. This is a DIY forum, but that means that we tell the suplicant how to do it, IF it is something he has the experience and ability to do it. Some are not even adept enough to fix a faucet and then we tell them to call a plumber. Trying to get the help to do a complete house plumbing system is NOT a DIY job, and then we also tell them to call a plumber. You may call this "copping an attitude", but we call it "using common sense", even if it may cost the person more money to be sure it is done correctly. It does not cost me a single penny, nor do I make one penny more, whether he tries to do it himself or calls a plumber. Our interest is in trying to protect the safety of the person, AND his neighbors, since many plumbing mistakes can cause problems to an entire neighborhood, REGARDLESS of how far, or close, those neighbors are.
