In our case, it's all glued together, except for a cleanout joint just beyond the trap in the line. That's part of the problem, because it makes it completely impossible to access most of the drain line, to clear a clog. It's obvious it has been cut apart before, because there's a repair job with a new coupling that's between the AC unit and the trap. That's where our problem is again, so I'm going to put it back together with a compression coupling that can be opened up easily, as well as put in another place to allow access to clearing clogs in the pipe.

Right now the pipe is cut and it's draining into a bucket. Immediately after cutting the pipe and turning off the unit, we drained out about a half gallon from the drip pan. The unit is back on now and my two gallon bucket is slowly refilling, but not at a rate that seems unusual. I'm hoping after clearing out the pipes, and reassembling it all with a better downward angle for the drain (the original plumbing was almost level), it will work better.

Add a little laundry bleach when all is back together to kill any nasties that might be growing.

It's a union thing why they are not your way.

We knew about your new project (informally) - neat to see that multiple tools are almost done. Speaking of gym, mine's closed on Sunday during the summer.

I'm about to go to my third home (Lowe's) right now, for a piece of PVC no less.

I know Lowe's & HD well, & spent a lot of time at both in the last week or so -- lots of plumbing repairs. Also ended up buying a new dishwasher, washer & dryer for the house in COS at Lowe's. Was able to take advantage of a 10% discount offer by opening a Lowe's credit a/c. Also got an additional 10% from the washer as it was an EnergyStar model. The $ savings were worth more than getting miles by using another cc.

I have about a dozen 10% off coupons (expire in October) in my desk; I will definitely be using them all. These are pretty inexpensive to acquire.

That makes sense! Plus, real estate is really expensive up here, but the demographics are great for potential vendors. We are getting a Trader Joe's where the old Whole Foods used to be. Otherwise, it's a good 20min. drive to get to the TJ's in Westfield or Florham Park. There's a new, big Whole Foods less than 10 min. away, but I don't usually feel like paying the prices there.

Do you get these w/the Lowe's cc a/c?

That's who we got a TJ's in BNA - Whole Foods moved into a much larger location literally around the corner from their old store.

No - I get them for about 50 cents apiece through eBay.

The old WF was one of the oldest in the chain -- we were definitely due for a larger, newer store. I used to think that TJ didn't want to 'complete' on WF turf -- but that has clearly changed recently. For our town -- they are happier getting a food store in vs. some other chain store. The old WF space is also going to be shared w/a PetSmart (but w/out the PetsHotel -- lots of protest over their original plan for boarding facilities).

OK, I will have to take a look there -- unless you've exhausted the supply out there!:D

I just checked - nowhere close. I'm also talking about the green and white ones that come as part of a folding card; they have distinct barcodes. And I look for buy-it-nows with free shipping that comes out to 50 cents or so each.

There's a reason people call it Whole Paycheck.

So, I see -- thanks for the tip!

Yep -- I knew that already.:D Same phenomenon happens at the warehouse clubs -- can't really get away w/out spending less than a $100!

Their corporate HQ in downtown Austin is quite impressive. I still prefer Central Market though.
