It was fun when I could do the prep work at my own pace. Yesterday wasn't so much fun.

Way to close the deal man! It was a pain but you did it without getting ripped off by a plumbing company. Somebody needs to give you a pat on the back.

Point of interest, my plumber buddy says Lowe's has the best selection of plumbing parts he's ever seen. They even have stuff in stock, the plumbing supply houses have to order.

I'm slowly removing the old pipe to get it out of the way. This is a short segment of vertical section about three feet above the shut off valve, right where the water enters the house. 3/4 inch diameter. I'm holding it over a flashlight so you can see the insides well.
Crazy huh? |

My house is 19 years old - does my plumbing look like that, too? If it does, I'm going to have to start showering with bottled water.

These pipes are 70 years old. Your 19 year old pipes are perfectly fine.
The fatberg is disgusting. |

After? Or just the new pipe? Did you clean all that gunk out yourself?
