AboutLeo Luczak Expertise I am a Certified Building Official, and I am certified by the International Conference of of Building Officials as a plans examiner and as a commercial and residential building and plumbing inspector.
Experience I have been the Building Official for a small town in Alaska for the last 14 years. I also spent 20 years working in construction. I don't know that much about wells and septic systems.
Question Leo, Simple ? I am sure but before I get in over my head ... I have an old
valve type hot/cold outlet box w/pvc pipes that I want to replace w/new
lever valve type. Do I need to remove the section of wallboard to cut the
lines and replace the unit or can I do it some other way. Either way I am
prepared to do the job just might need an extra beer or two if I have drywall
to repair,... Thanks Much Dan
Answer the only way I know to do this is to remove a larger section of wallboard and create a good sized access hole.
Most of the area that needs to be accessed is below the outlet box so it should be hidden by the washer once the replacement is completed.
I agree that you do need beer to successfully complete a drywall repair... just to keep the dust down if nothing else!
