I raised it by one block but it occasionally floods anyways durring strong hurricanes, happed twice over the last 10 years. I'm not sure if raising it even more wouldn't affect the stability of that wall. It is small, I have an enclosed patio with a pool and stairs along which takes most of the...

Hi. I’m planning to build a fence in my backyard in Florida, primarily for my child’s and pets safety. The yard borders a freshwater canal, and there’s a CMU retaining wall/seawall at the back. Since the yard is relatively small, I’d prefer to install the fence directly on top of the retaining...

Thank you. The pipes are 2", that's why I am using a Saniflo macerator to grind the waste. The 2" runs from the garage (with proposed half bath), then a kitchen sink ties into that line, then it ties into a 4" line which is used for 2 bathrooms on the other side of the house, next is the main...

Hi. I am having a bit of an issue adding a fitting in that vertical pipe. It is burried in concrete and there is a copper water line sitting right behind the ABS pipe. There was an old san-tee in the spot so someone probably patched the hole with concrete. I had to be really careful while...
