I suggest making a video about japanese toilets. Some of them have a spout on top of the flush box too. It would be the most hygenic if you install a sink next to the toilet so you can wash your hands before getting up and smearing everything on your clothes.

[@michaelmiguel6937]

[@MolecularMachine]

Regarding the hand-washing toilet, I've heard about that a lot from off-grid folks. It's called a gray water system. I think it's a great idea for conserving water, because you don't really need potable water for flushing.

[@ToxicMrSmith]

I don't know about that. I don't think grey water is suitable for hand washing. I think it's that potable water is used first for washing your hands then becomes grey water to use for filling the cistern then flushing. Would you put grey water in your mouth? No. But if you washed then rinsed your hands with grey water and say are food.. Well then yeah do you see it now?

[@MolecularMachine]

@@ToxicMrSmith I didn't mean that the gray water was used for washing hands. The potable water is used for washing hands, and then it becomes gray water for flushing the toilet.

[@Aevilbeast]

Also that sink/toilet system is actually also really popular in Prisons (that's where I actually heard of something like that, my neighbor is former prison guard and told me about it) for a bunch of reasons. It saves space, money by saving water, easier to install,ect.

[@bradroon5467]

I'm always thinking of dirt or soap through the WC.

[@sheabarber5708]

Years before I was born my Grandfather and Dad went on a call to a house that housed a very large family (20+ people) The toilet had been clogged for so long they started shitting in the bathtub. It was full to the brim. They walked out.

[@kenbrown2808]

in our local urban legend, after the tub got full, they cut a hole in the floor with a chain saw and filled the crawlspace.

[@kanehood3478]

I went to a house call a few years back the toilet and bath where full to the brim, the smell hit my face like a sledgehammer, I called the office and they sent a tanker, with the tanker sucking I gently used the jetter hose to soften the waste left in the tub and toilet, it ended up being a 16hour job including unblocking the main drains from the property, all because the Tennant was to afraid to call the landlord incase the rent went up

The sinks in the top of the toilet is extremely common in Japan. I believe it caught on as a space-saving matter, but is also super efficient.

[@patrickprescott5166]

@Paul DesFosses That's probably more so they can't rip it off the wall

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

I've got some interesting work in my own house. The pipe that comes out of the wall for the lavatory is chrome. By the time it gets to the basement, it's cast iron. I had to fix it since it was pitched the wrong way. Still far from perfect, but at least, it works properly now.

#2 pic #1: When the Taco Bell hits during bath time.

[@NerdLFG]

I wish I had pictures, but the craziest plumbing thing I've seen was we found that the homeowner before us (loads of wacky repairs) had used a Coffee Can for a J-Trap under a sink. Cut a hole in the plastic lid for the top pipe, and cut a hole in the side a few inches from the bottom of the can for the exit pipe. Both pipes galvanized steel) And connected using EPOXY. I really wish we took a picture. :) It was a Maxwell House blue coffee can (pretty sizable). This was discovered in the 80s, done most likely in the 70's.

[@ScottyDMcom]

@8:03 the capped off line. That is probably a cable TV wire. Looks like a push-on type F connector and the wire itself has the coax part with a steel tension wire twinned onto the side--that is, it's an external wire designed to "fly" from pole to pole with the steel wire providing mechanical support. Of course the scary part is removing about a third of that heavy load-bearing beam. Hope the beam doesn't fail.

[@bluetastick]

The toilet in my Japanese apartment had you wash your hands on top of the tank. I thought it was very smart.

[@balgraeve]

Yeah but it means you have flush after you wash your hands.. And that smell :p

[@bluetastick]

@@balgraeve no when you flush the clean water comes out of the top you wash your hands and then it goes down the sink where it fills up the toilet tank.

[@SophiaF3499]

i wish i could go under my uncle's house to show u the "repairs" he made earlier this year. He had a small leak in one of his pipes cuz it was rusted through (really old pipes), He got a piece of sheetmetal and welded it arround the hole, a few weeks later the welds start leaking, so what does he do? weld ANOTHER piece of sheetmetal over it, he did that 3 times before having the pipe replaced.

[@aaronhuff9471]

Hey Roger... At 8:07 that isn't a PEX line it's most likely an RG-6 coax quad shield 75ohm cable with grounding wire or it once was a dual coax commonly used on satellite dishes that has been pulled apart into two separate cables at some point which usually is done when swapping out the dish itself or just its LNB (the little receiver on the end of the arm extending from the dish) or when someone ditches satellite service for cable or over the air service both of which rarely require the use of a dual coax cable because I am certain that is a screw on F connector attached on the end.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

I was working as a custodian in 1988 at a high school that was being remodeled and added onto during that summer. It required that the water be turned off so that the water supply plumbing could be replaced. Even though the company supplied plenty of porta-potties for the workers they still used the toilets and unrinals inside the building all summer, with no water to flush. They released the building to us and turned the water back on three days before school started. They did not turn the water on gradually and bleed the lines. They turned it on all at once and blew out about half the flush valves.

[@makingtechsense126]

I am not a plumber so I didn't recognize a problem under my kitchen sink until it was too late. One day my kitchen drain sprung a leak and it caused significant damage before we caught it. The cause of the leak was that the P-trap was installed backwards so it was very fragile. It got bumped and came loose. Over $20k later and I now have a new kitchen.

The last one with the extra deep p trap titled "Stop the sewer gas - Puddy Please!" The "duct tape" in a couple of pics is likely flex seal water proof tape wich can actually be applied under water and to wet surfaces. I have used it on cast iron to seal seam splits or rust holes to buy someone time to save money to replace pipes when a small drip or a sewer gas leak is involved. Ameture doing a friend a favor kind of thing, and its also useful as a temp tool when trouble shooting to eliminate possibilities.
