Yea honestly I think we peaked a few years back. The big flapping jeans are slightly ridiculous. But maybe that’s because I was there for the first time I’m not sure lol

The Allen wrench at the bottom is a plumbers hack lol. Does it hum when you’re trying it? It’s pulling power but jammed. Don’t stick your hand and pliers in the blades please lol. Use an Allen wrench to turn the unit manually from the bottom.

Interesting take lol. Are you saying that Henry Ford wasn’t a vile antisemite and friend of Hitlers, because he was…. Henry Ford and you lived in Detroit?

Ah I see! If you have any issues with that and some pics I can try to help. Sounds like they are galvanized metal water lines? Could be a much more difficult issue I’m afraid to say! Unless it is the line running to the shower head, it’s probably pex. But you’ll need access to get at it. Check the shower head arm that comes out of the tub at the top, I’ve seen those loose and leaking, or no Teflon tape lol. You’ll need to possibly unthread it from where it goes into the wall. Just thinking of things I normally check, starting small and working your way up.

Yea, I’m a plumber. I see all kinds of garbage work done by people flipping houses it’s ridiculous. Can you sneak your phone in there and point it down and see if it drains into black abs piping? Honestly I would replace that white shit with a new OS&B waste and overflow kit. It might be worthwhile having a plumber come and do it. There are some little tricks to it etc. and you’ll need to buy glue and a short length of abs and plumbers putty if you do it yourself. You don’t need to use silicone anywhere on the waste and overflow. Some people get silicone crazy lol. Plumbers putty on the chrome waste up top and there is a rubber gasket that goes underneath. It’s a shitty job and you’ll need access, as would the plumber who comes to do it. Often times there’s an access panel behind the waste and overflow, if there isn’t, it’s not a bad idea to cut one in. Lots of connections there that can leak, even after it’s fixed properly. Good to have access

Waste and overflows can be nasty. That’s super cheap thin plastic, it should be done in abs. The threaded connection there may be loose can you get your hand on it and tighten it? Is there an access panel directly behind it?
