  4. That's great if you want to vent the sewer system into the bathroom, just need a source of ignition and no ventilation.

  9. So that is not new construction, the trap must have been replaced at one time. How do you forget how it was put together ? Even if there was a hardware store run involved (and there always is) how does someone do it ? I work with a kid that does this kind of stuff . Takes things apart and puts it back together wrong. Stupid people GRRRRRR!

  13. I'm still working on my first cup of coffee and it took me a second! As to how folks do dumb shit like that, if you dont know the purpose of a P trap you might end up doing it that way. There are a lot of people who are woefully ignorant of basic information about how the world works.
    Sign I saw on a plumbing shop wall 50 years ago; 3 things you need to know to be a plumber- 1. the boss is a prick, 2. shit flows down hill and 3. payday is friday.

    1. The bathroom in my original shop building was rough plumbed by a carpenter who should have known better, but he didn't install a trap under the shower before the slab was poured. I fixed the situation, but still marveled how an experienced guy could possibly make a mistake like that.
      But I was young and had yet to learn that the limits to human stupidity are unbounded by what has been.

    2. 4 things. Number 4 is "don't chew your fingernails".

      And remember, in the plumbing business:

      "Your number two is our number one" .

      "Your shit is our bread and butter".

      "We drool for your stool".
