When Plumbing and Electric Collide
This was a bit disturbing. . .
The "installer" found a way to center the junction box (for a bathroom light fixture) when the drain vent was in the way. I'm just glad that the fixture hadn't been installed yet. . .

It is always frustrating to have a vent pipe straight up from the drain, but WOW!

Re: When Plumbing and Electric Collide
In this situation they could've just fastened a short strip of plywood across the back of the hole and screwed a pancake to it, overlapping the stack. Probably took them more time to do it the way they did.

Re: When Plumbing and Electric Collide
The HO didn't buy a pancake and he wasn't going back to HD.
