    AC been using laser levels for years setting pools. I think you look up zip level or smart level. It’s similar to a water level but but is electronic, it will give you an actual reading plus or minus in inches. You read around corners no line of sight needed and a one man set up. They run around the same price as The lasers but with out the two man set up. I have used both the zip level and the smart level both are great but the zip has to be sent back to calibrate, the smart level can be re calibrated on site.

      LED lights most certainly do not last forever. The use circuitry to covert the 12v down to a voltage the LED's can use. That is what fails, the controlling circuitry. It either corrodes or fails entirely. The actual lighting diode may last a super long time, but the supporting circuitry is now the weak link. That being said, most LED setups are much better than incandescent, but to say they last forever is simply incorrect.

      It's dinosaurs like you that keep the technology from improving. You probably only use sweated copper too.
      3" works just fine, If you think about it the hole in the toilet is only 2" so as long as the system has the right transitions and slope there shouldn't be any problems. Plus the water is deeper in a 3" pipe. I used 3" drain in my house and PEX with a Viega Manifold and homeruns with absolutely ZERO fittings buried in the walls to leak. 6 months not a single issue. And I've had to use the plunger pletny of times on my low flow toilet so I assure you, wads of TP were shoved down.

    I can understand when a homeowner DIY'er makes mistakes like septic terminology etc. But a hired plumber set up the cleanout like that? Does he chew his nails too?

      @tbirdracefan The use of the word "Plumber" here should be taken with a grain of salt. I doubt that there was any actual trained licensed plumber involved. The original layout design "would" have worked with the following change in "Y" fitting direction, fitting size and a additional 45 on the clean out. (Original is at 15:42)
      1. The "Y" fitting flow direction should be reversed and have a 45 degree installed on the clean out part to make the clean out in a more vertical direction - not in the direction of the outside wall - as the clean out would then be outside the wall.
      2. The then reversed inlet to the "Y" pipe and two 45's should be 3" not what looks like 2".
      3. Of course as was mentioned in the video 4" is the normal -- at least at the "Y" and clean out. The discharge part is usually 4".

    Andrew, for your tail lights clean the socket well then coat the bulb with diletric grease and then install it into the socket. It will assist in maintaining a good connection and prevent corrosion from interrupting the connection.
