theres nothing connected to the utility lines yet and i doubt that there will be for awhile, he keeps changing things.......
he probably is getting advice from his plumber or roofer or maybe a brother in law over the telephone

It seems like there is a common theme among all the installations that we cackle and guffaw over....

Wouldn't it have been simpler, and cheaper, to have done the job right in the first place?

silly me, there I go thinking again. sorry

That's one ugly (non compliant) install.

If that were my neighbor I would be raising hell.

Ripping the pvc lengthwise is cute.

No expansion fitting either.

Cindy -- How did you do those cool thumbnail links?

"How did you do those cool thumbnail links?"

hmmmm... thats a long story...[thinking... hmmmm, how to say this in a few words]....
you probably know most of this already....
ok this is simplified somewhat......

first you put your pix[photos] on a web site somewhere in cyberspace[i use my own server(set up in my place) so dont really have any suggestions, i hear yahoo and geocities have free space, but they are too busy and probably wouldnt work too well cause your link would try to access their storage space to get your pix and it would be too busy and it would just show up as an empty box with an "x" in it, maybe],

then after your pix are stored in cyberspace at [example]YourPixSite.com, then you just have to use ECN's UBB codes(see the UBB link to the left of this text box) to make the connection, here i've used one UBB code inside another UBB code, that is, the IMAGE code [img] is inside the URL-HYPERLINKING [URL] code... like this......

[note i had to change some brackets and stuff below so it wouldnt think i am trying to link to something with this example]

{URL=http://InsertYourPixSiteHere.com/misc_images/cw/image001.jpg} {IMG} {URL=http://InsertYourPixSiteHere.com/misc_images/cw/image001_small.gif}h++p://InsertYourPixSiteHere.com/misc_images/cw/image001_small.gif{/URL} {/IMG} {/URL}

you see 2 pix above in my example, one is the small gif thumbnail photo(i reduced the gif pix to 150pixel-width to load faster here) surrounded by the two [IMG] codes(tags) and the other is the large jpg photo(i reduced my jpg photos to 800pixel-width so they would fit on most screens) which it links to.

there...... i think i said it right??? its totally easier to show someone in person than to say it on a keyboard

this ufer connection was inside this house. there's a ufer tag directly between the rebar and clamp so theres no contact at all, and it is loose because he didnt turn the back side of the clamp over to fit the #4 rebar, and it needs a mud ring for access after drywall.
i also have pix of trusses he drilled in the garage... i wasnt invited so never got past the garage, but bet there was good photo-ops inside too.
