Something to Ponder
-A six" drain pipe is permitted to handle 1380DFU's (Drainage Fixture Units)
-1 Water Closet (toilet)= 3DFU's
-Max length of pipe allowed is 720'
-460 WC's allowed on a 6" pipe
-The legal WC uses 1.6 gals of water per flush
-There are 360 sq ft in that pipe
With the above in mind, how long do you think it would take for 460 people taking a dump and flushing at the same time to clog that line up?...LOL
Yes I am getting very bored being at home!

Bear in mind, these are government generated numbers, therefore do not take into consideration the real world. I'd like to see a 6" pipe handle 460 flushes, especially dumps. Especially after a get together, BBQ, etc............
BTW, do you have any 6" or 8" pipe laying around? Cement, plastic, steel, iron, doesn't matter. I need about 30' of it, and I'm not putting another dime of my own cash into this place.

We have 20ft sticks of 6" abs at work...Not sure if I can get it free, but at our cost...will look into it. Some 10" pvc, but them darn things run over $200/20ft at our cost.
If they do not have to be full length, I could probably swing 4 8ft pieces, depending on scrap from jobs at no cost.
Let me know, and I can perhaps swing it by on the way to Lacey on the 17th.

Let me know- I'll piece together 2' sections if I have to. It's a drain, it'll be buried, and I don't really care.
Depending on cash flow, I would like to go to Lacey. I had planned on hitting Cabela's in Nebraska on the way out here, but took the northern route instead. Don't know if I'll have the gas money just yet, I am doing a head gasket on the wife's Jeep tomorrow to fix an external leak, so there goes the play money.
I know I'll make the grand opening of the new Lowe's here in Port Orchard in a few months though........
