I'm confused, are you trying to leapfrog the entire apprenticeship for a mason, carpenter, HVAC installer, electrician, plumber, roofer, and structural Engineer by gleaning this knowledge from ATOT?

What?

I used to work construction. I also lived in a van. You don't want to work construction your whole life.

Don't hit your thumb with a hammer, keep your fingers out of saw blades, never look in the end of a nail gun.
If you could give me a little more info I could prolly help you out.

fingers behind saw, not in front.

there is a fine line of beer consumption and what becomes a successful project.

remember walls are about 6" deep and may have pipes and conduit inside them.

Measure twice, cut once.

A hammer is a great tool.

A long enough pipe and any bolt will move. Sometimes though this movement is more excessive than anticipated.

From the plumber's manual...


Hot goes on the left
Cold goes on the right
Sh!t don't flow uphill

If something is close to fitting, but doesn't quite fit, use a persuader. It'll fit. (it's shaped just like a hammer.)

2 hours later and you still haven't clarified wtf your OP is talking about.

He wants to see what his local ER looks like.
