The direction of flow is toward the pvc... so yes, it's full of water. The other end goes up through an old 3" cast iron drain and turns out to be the lav drain.

That's nice Chris....it must of been a "paper contractor" who did that.

So I know I haven't been around much lately but it looks like you got your wings. So are they just giving out Mod titles to anybody these days.

Usually it takes a series of remodels,
over a long period of time,
each one building on past mistakes
to attain that level of FUBAR.
I believe you have a prize winner
for accomplishing that in one shot.

There's no "iffy" shades of grey with this one, that's for sure.

It's pretty much a black and white NO-NO.

Chris - does any of this "plumbing" for lack of a better term, fall under your scope of work to be removed/repaired/replaced?

ChrWright

We are gutting the bath under that mess--which will include all new everything (drains, supplies, etc.) We'll have to address fixing it with a change order while we have things open. We were originally not doing anything with the bathroom above.

I can't leave it that way.

Ya think?

You are going for the understatement
of the year award! :laughing

No, of course you can't, just drywall over it and pretend it was never there.

And since you are a Mod now, delete this entire thread so no one can find the pictures in the future....

ChrWright

I'm thinking we'll just upsize it with shop vac hose... That way it will at least flow better...
