D...Tremendously interesting series, but Questions.<br /><br />Do you have ABS pipe there? We use it almost exclusively for DWV out here in western Canada and the glue requires no primer and seems much less noxious than the purple-primer solvent combos for PVC.<br /><br />How about tree root killing chemicals? I cured an invasion of weeping birch roots with something I flush down the toilet twice a year. So far anyway, 3 years and counting.<br /><br />Have you ever seen pipe made like a barrel, with barrel stave walls held together with a steel wire spiral coil? I've got some remnants of that on a property I own in rural BC close to the US border.<br /><br />In dealing with subterranean plumbing problems is much thinking either necessary or wise? I have found that 5 minutes of thought, 20 minutes of snaking etc, then the immediate application of brute force via concrete saws, jackhammers and sledgehammers is more efficient, much faster and mentally soothing. But my training came from my German father who treated all such problems like Wehrmacht tactical issues.iOpenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059950887197561123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-66231385463248694852016-03-05T11:49:35.218-05:002016-03-05T11:49:35.218-05:00And now we take you to the latest installment of S...And now we take you to the latest installment of Scheherasippican's 1001 Turds!vanderleunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296245324443413545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-23605515925233626602016-03-04T23:23:19.417-05:002016-03-04T23:23:19.417-05:00Sipp. I ought to knock on your door.

I wait at the dock for the ship to come in, anxious to read the latest installment.<br />You are the Dickens of deuce, man. What will you call this-- A Tale of Too Sh!tty? Great Eructations?

Never heard a demo hammer called that. Been out of the loop too long, I guess. We have a fairly heavy-duty rotary hammer in the shop. The auxiliary handle for it got lost, so it's now my number one choice for breaking unsuspecting helper's wrists. <br /><br />Hi Casey- If you drive three hours past Marblehead, make sure to honk the horn and wave. <br />SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-56107692235818849972016-03-04T16:59:19.507-05:002016-03-04T16:59:19.507-05:00It's bittersweet to know your problem is almos...It's bittersweet to know your problem is almost resolved. Glad it's you and not me. This fall I'll be driving by Marblehead, but I doubt I'll realize it. That's all I have for now.
