Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

OMG A PRO



Don’t mind the POS Lexus.

 

Is your GX lowered?

 

yep. Looking to put dubz on it too

 

You getting the body kit?

 

22x14’s or GTFO

 

Bathroom remodels are fun... missed it by that much!

 

F plumbing

 

Ended up cutting 1/2” off the legs. Next up is ripping out the inclosed shower.

 

Plumbing sucks! P-trap had a small leak, Got that to stop. Cold water valve has a small leak. need to figure that out, not much copper pipe stick out of the wall.

 

Softopper gets delivered today

 

My dad always told me to pay to have plumbing and electrical done. This was as I watched him get faces full of shit from snakeing traps and getting shocked trouble shooting electrical problems. It's probably why I hate working on my house but will gladly tear a transmission apart and put it back together without blinking an eye.

If it's a new valve I noticed those tend to drip a bit when first installed then they fix themselves and stop.

 

You gain confidence the more you do of it. Electrical is easy, just keep your connections tight. Plumbing isn't bad but I do check for drips frequently and loose a little sleep the first couple nights after a big project, failure can be expensive.

 

Besides launching a biscuit or two down the throne daily I don’t mess with plumbing. I’ll do a lot around the house but plumbing is left to the professionals. In my experience it’s not cheap either.

 

Being able to do DIY it is nice for me to save money, but not so nice because my wife makes me do things like put in outdoor showers.

Unrelated, anyone want to help me put in an outdoor shower this Spring?

 

I'm good a identifying problems and quarantining/repair lol! I can count on one hand how many times I have ever had to use a contractor, mostly for cosmetic stuff because I suck at that. I'm 90% sure I'm farming out the replumbing of my entire house and the ceiling drywall work, with insurance picking up some of the drywall/paint tab.

 

buy a house they said...it will be fun they said.

 

Cedar???

 

It’s a valve that is probably original to the house 34 years old.

 

Havn't decided on materials yet, still working out how I want to run the water lines, I have to knock through brick so need to make sure I do it right the first time.

 

Still better than renting!

Once I get all this durapex out we will be in good shape here!
