Plumbing repair

I found this today in an attic. Clamp the pipe leak and put a bowl to catch any excess water, brilliant!

Yep... it's getting more and more difficult to find an old inner tube for gasket material nowadays.

They should have used a bigger bowl.

Needs a yokum drain and a # 9 washtub

Inner tube... That's brilliant Jeff!

I once saved myself $400 in A/C repair for my old Lumina with a clamp like that and some old innertube. Still leaked but I slowed it down a lot and survived the summer.

Ah yes... the old galvanized pipe clamp repair, what's more of a crime, that stores sell them or they get installed above finished living space?

I just knew someone here could appreciate "old school" methods!

.....

One morning 3 alabama good old boys and 3 yankees were in a ticket line at the birmingham train station heading to atlanta for a big football game.

The 3 northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the 3 southerners bought just one ticket among them.

"how are the 3 of you going to travel on one 1 ticket?" asked one of the yankees.

"watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the south.

When the 6 travelers boarded the train, the 3 yankees sat down, but the 3 southerners crammed into a bathroom together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets.

He knocked on the bathroom door and said, "tickets please." the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That evening after the game when they got to the atlanta train station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while to their astonishment the 3 southerners didn't buy even 1 ticket.

"how are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the perplexed yankees.

"watch and learn", answered one of the southern boys.

When they boarded the train the 3 northerners crammed themselves into a bathroom and the 3 southerners crammed themselves into the other bathroom across from it.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the southerners left their bathroom and walked quietly over to the yankee's bathroom. He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".
