Shopsmith Forums

As part of the great garage redo of 2015 I am rerouting the water main so it doesn't run along the floor of my garage. I thought it would be very straight forward just pull out the old stuff solder in the new copper, a dielectric coupler and I would be good to go. But no simple was not too be. The first picture shows the flexible copper pipe they used to make a jumper for adding another line. The second shows the loop de loop they did to clear the existing water line.
At first glance it was a whiskey tango foxtrot moment but I soon realized that it was a line that was added for a hose faucet out back. I don't need the faucet right now so I can just stub a line out of the main line and cap it off for later.
All so I can get my garage in shape for my Shopsmiths.

When it comes to plumbing, never forget that there are only two kinds of plumbing. "LEAK" and "CLOG".

As long as you have one of those, you have normal plumbing.

I guess we are extra normal then.
This morning the toilet backed up and overflowed, a "CLOG". and a "LEAK" at the same time
One service guy to pump the septic tank and another to unclog the pipes and all is good again.
