It's a very long trap...

I see this sort of Harry Homeowner installation frequently.

I shake my head slowly...then have a short talk with my client.

The guy that did that must have a winter home down here! Just saw one like that yesterday.

You guys are funny,

Sad day for plumbingit looks like the tyling preceded the plumbing!

Done wrong!

This is not acceptable and everything is fixable!

What was the installer thinking anyway?
A quick fix, a quick sale, no inspection?
