I see I'm not the only one, I hate plumbing always have. This thread is a perfect example. I once replace a water heater...they dug a hole in the ground, put the water heater in, then built the house on top of it. We had to dig a trench across the crawlspace and drag it out sideways.

It's fairly common (though not universal) for local governments to "require" permits for such things, but no one I know actually gets a permit for anything that can't be seen from the street.

I hadn't heard that the EPA had extended its power to the point of dictating building codes.

Same outfit that gave us low flow shower heads and 1.5 gallon toilets you have to flush 3 times.
