I am an owner builder just north of Crystal River in Levy Co. The plumber that was going to do the ground works for the house has left to care for his family what lives in Mississippi, said he won't be back for at least a month. I have called around I can't find any other plumber to take the job. A couple have said that would come out, but have not showed up. I have done some pvc glue-up before so I dug the trenches and started the job myself. My son found this site since I am not to good with computers. I think I know most of the basic things, but I never have work under a slab before. I have not been able to find a book, or a consultend for help, can you give me a ster in the right direction or know someone you could help me before the inspection I would like to do it right the first time.

Hey Unk,
I got busted in Crystal River back in 1955 for pulling off the road and sleeping in my car. I should have locked the door because when the deputy opened the door and shook me awake I thought I was being robbed and poped him. I ended up in the Invernes county jail for assulting a officer. I haven't been back since. Tell you whot I'm going to do. I'm going to give you my addy and you can draw me a sketch,(with fixture placement and measurements) or scan me a set of plans and I'll lay the job out for you. My addy's [email protected] Head it up PLUMBING so it doesn't get in with the junk mail. You can then check with the inspector to see if it conforms to local codes. OK? Cheers, Tom
