Id image there is a lot of shady, shoddy contractors that show up in an area right after a hurricane or natural desaster....

At the left of the fourth picture, is that an unvented plumbing stack or fan?

Our work areas are so far apart, but we get the same quality of workmanship. Got to do your own work these days!!

A little aside: VENT STACK......Don't you like plumbing terms. I can get a very quizzical or confused look from people that think plumbing is a way more simple trade than say, electrical or HVAC, when I ask them whats the difference between a stack vent and a vent stack. They think I'm playing with them until I explain that these are real working plumbing terms.

Richard aren't contractors licensed in Florida?

How could such a thing happen in a licensed state?
