By code definition the buried line from the municipal main or septic tank to the structure is called the "House Sewer" while the main line within the structure is defined as the "House Main Drain". Code states that there must be a "Main Cleanout" at the junction of the House Sewer and the Main Drain. The cleanout is generally required to be within 3Â of the point where the house sewer enters the structure. For houses with basements the main cleanout can generally be found within the first three feet inside the basement wall while for slab construction the cleanout will generally be found 3Â outside the footer wall. For structures with a crawl space often there is a limited access in the crawl space so they elect to put the main cleanout outside in the same manner as a slab construction. There are two commonly accepted methods of installing the main cleanout on the exterior: 1. A "Rodding Tee" is installed on the line. A rodding Tee is a specialized Tee that has a radius curve in both directions which would permit rodding, or snaking" the line both upstream and downstream from the point of the cleanout. The line is required to be buried a minimum of 6" below the average frost line of in climates where frost is not a issue it must be a minimum of 12" below finished grade. A vertical riser is then attached to the side opening of the rodding tee and it is to be extended up to finished grade and capped. Keep in mind that the cleanout is generally installed long before the final grade-work is completed and it is extended to the theoretical grade level. It is not uncommon for the riser to be slightly buried during the final grade-work or landscaping phase. 2. An alternate method is to install a Wye & 1/8 bend with the side opening of the Wye pointing in the downstream direction and a riser extended from the side opening up to finished grade. A second Wye & 1/8 bend with riser is then installed slightly downstream of the first one but this time the side opening of the Wye is pointed in the Upstream direction. In this manner the line can be snaked in both directions dependant upon which riser you select. Here again, the risers are initially installed to the theoretical finished grade elevation so they may have been slightly covered during final grading or landscaping.

Maire Cate, I lied! It was The Kitchn, NOT the Test Kitchen recipe! I've used so many recipes for turkey from the Test Kitchen (am a subscriber to the site now and to Cooks Illustrated for years prior) that I automatically wrote test kitchen, sorry!! The recipe I used is linked below, it is both easier and tastier than the test kitchen methods I have used (brining, roasting on a bed of veggies, roasting for just a few hours, etc.) The Kitchn method is absolutely the easiest one I have ever used, and one of the best, if not the best. I had a fresh turkey of almost 15 pounds for ten meat eaters. It was rinsed inside and out, giblets and neck removed from cavity (the former in a bag, thankfully), and dried, then sprinkled all over with salt and coarse ground pepper. No stuffing was put in the turkey. The oven was preheated to 450. I poured two cups of Swanson's chicken broth in the bottom of a roasting pan with deep ridges on the bottom and set the turkey in breast up. I untied the legs per instructions. The bird went in the oven on the next to lowest rack setting and temp immediately turned down to 350 degrees. After an hour I basted it with the juices and tented the breast, which was already a beautiful golden brown. You are supposed to take the turkey out and close the oven door when basting, so I did that and basted it two more times about an hour apart. The turkey was ready after 16 min. per pound, I was timing it but there was also a pop up timer in the bird as well, and I used a meat thermometer to make sure it was done. I took the bird out and it rested for nearly an hour while the sides heated up and we had our first course. My SIL's husband (she is my brother's widow) carved and the meat--- every bit of it---- was moist and flavorful and delicious! Best of all, the pan drippings made fabulous gravy, which I made by combining unsalted butter and flour in a large, straight-sided skillet into a roux that I browned a bit instead of leaving white. I used it to thicken the pan juices (which already included broth) by adding the broth to the skillet. I had about three cups of broth/drippings, which contained rendered fat, so I made more roux than I would have for liquid without fats. After thickening the gravy I added about four ounces of half and half and two of those small containers of Knorr concentrated, home style chicken broth. They are about 2" x 1.5" and come in a four pack. This method has to be tweaked on site for the amount of fat in the drippings but makes absolutely delicious gravy. The meal WAS wildly successful, thank heavens, and we did not have a lot of turkey leftover as our young men (ages 13, 16, 22, and 25) ate like there was no tomorrow :-). But there will be enough leftovers for HK to make a turkey pie or two for the coming week, unless we eat it all in open faced sandwiches with that fabulous gravy before the day is out!

Thanks for the pics! From what I see I would buy two toned curtain panels in either a deep blue or a deep red and a one inch diameter decorative curtain rod for each window. Your window over the sofa window will most likely require two panels on each side of the window and the rods need to be hung from the ceiling and 10-12 beyond the window on each side. Try the big window first before you put them on the siding window. You might not need them on the slider but buy them all together so the colors are the same run for the curtains and the rods are the same tone and style.....the one inch diameter will add more oomph to the curtains; don't skimp and get narrower ones.....you need the weight to balance the sofa weight. I love your three prints but please add a fourth in the same frame and style, the stack them one over the other two on each side on each side of the sofa window beyond the curtains. Two together will make them look bigger and more impact. Have the top one centered at 57 inches from the floor, the lower one should be three inches below the upper one.....I think that will look centered and make your big window your feature wall.....open the blinds for daylight. I like your two round mirrors and I would try to find another one that is similar but not the same and arrange the tree randomly in a tight grouping on your dining room wall. Put your two most loved pillows on the sofa and nothing on the chairs. Remove all the table stuff in the entire room. Add back the blue ware on your dining table, Cluster your plants on the sofa table, Try a glass hurricaine modern candle holder on the cocktail table with a big fat candle in a cream tone and put it on a wooden or metal tray....you want to edit down all your table stuff to just a very few; minimalism at work here. haha Two matching end tables on either end of your sofas in a modern vibe, in a square shape. Your lamps seem a bit small for the end tables, but you can lift them my making simple stacked square wood bases painted white? Or you can put them on your console and buy new red or blue lamps that are heavy and taller. Lamps are trial and error I find but they are hard to find between 28-30 inches......the price goes up but the short ones just do not make it, so it might be a future purchase......these are just ideas I would do in my house; I am not a decorator but I like to try things out. Remove the corner cabinet and the smaller wood console at the end of the sofa; re-purpose them in other areas of the house in different ways.- Geometric curtains on one inch rod 10-12 inches beyond window Vertically stacked prints with top one centered at 57 inches above floor Single item on cocktail table Tall lamp on table that is even with arm of sofa, single item on cocktail table, two pillows Strong two toned curtains hung from ceiling with multiple panels. This room has some interesting things going for it....cool cocktail table decor, looks tight and planned, great baskets for storage that you might consider incorporating under the console, but just one or two baskets or boxes. The pharmacy type floor lamp could look cool by the blue chairs in the corner? Examples of geometric curtains that you might like; note the wide diameter rods. Try to find lined curtains, they just hang better....Target, Lowe's, Wal Mart, World Market, all are great sources....I found all of these on line....curtains should be 93 inches long, often times you have to order online, most stores only sell the 84 " standard length..... I like what you have done in your room! Keep it up!

I don't have equipment to measure the pressure differences but I have done some qualitative tests to evaluate the velocity of air that comes through a known opening (small window) for H/M/L blower settings as well as the velocity of air exiting the blower exhaust. What I found is that the pressure difference between the kitchen/dinette/family room space is greatest on the LOW blower setting and less on HIGH and MED settings even though the volume of air exiting the house from the exhaust is H/M/L as you would expect. I attribute this to the lack of MUA on the LOW setting due to the closed MUA damper. The hood flow I am perfectly satisfied with although it bothers me that the low setting is lower than designed because of the lack of MUA. I believe replacing the airflow MUA switch with a simple current sensing switch will be a good solution. We live in the PNW with a fairly mild climate with low temperatures seldom below freezing and never below 0 degree F and our furnace does not seem to have any trouble keeping up with the colder MUA inflow so far (although we have not had many cold days yet). opaone: Our MUA damper is a Broan MD10TU with a motorized damper triggered by a remote flow sensor switch. Thanks for the input on interlocking the MUA with the blower - I had thought that would be a good idea for MUA performance but not considered the static buildup aspect. The 6" MUA damper originally installed with the furnace is interlocked with the blower so I guess I better research how that works. And thanks for the kitchen compliment.
