Her daughter flushed tampons down the toilet, caused overflow leak.

PS - Yeah on insurance coverage your standard homeowners policy generally doesn’t cover natural flooding.

Is it to cap the end of a pipe? Does the end of the pipe have threads or not? How does the cap fit on to the pipe? Do you just slide it over the pipe or screw it on?

I think it’s slip on. 3” cap was too small, 4” cap was too big.

I took some numbers off the other caps and ordered an OEM off Amazon - which says it’s a 4”. We’ll see.

the previous owners used pvc pipe and caps to fit over the dock's ugly metal poles, but one is missing a cap. it actually looks quite nice, so i'm trying to find a replacement cap. the end of the capless pipe isn't threaded.

I typically get a statement in about September/October from my mortgage company wanting a check to cover my escrow shortage for the year; typically a couple hundred dollars.
Imagine my surprise when I got my statement today. Imagine my double surprise when I saw that my shortage this year is $836, almost entirely because of a local tax increase.
Of course that means my mortgage is going to increase as well.

Why would your mortgage increase?
