Then there were my adventures in Quebec with faucets marked C and F.



I don't know French language, but it would not surprise me if those are
the first letters for what ever French is for cold and hot.

What I expected. I have a toaster oven marked "hot surface" and "surface
chaude". I guess that's where the C comes from.

According to the internet, F is froide (cold).

That reminds me of something I did once. I wasted to add a receptacle in
my bathroom, which should be easy since there was already one on the
other side of the wall. Somehow, I made a hole on the wrong side of the
wall stud. I put a box in there (just like the receptacle box) for
possible use as a hiding place. To make it more interesting I put a LED
(not wired to anything) in the cover and labeled it "deity detector" and
"sensitivity 5uD". That is, 5 millionths of a supreme being will be
powerful enough to light that LED.

No cover plate. Just a sign saying "do not insert metal objects or body
parts into box".

One of my biker buddies had a few receptacles hanging out on the
wires. He said it discourages people from bringing over small
children.

The city engineer missed that part. They've been trying to extend the

definitely is going to have to flow uphill to get to the treatment plant.

No it will be "pumped" up hill. When the pump fails it "flows" back
into your house.


Not my house... A guy with a truck came this fall, pumped my **** into
his truck, and took it someplace. I didn't ask where.

The city's annexation plans have a lot of push back. The people who
aren't within the city limits have perfectly good ways of dealing with
matters and aren't keen on paying for the city's 'services'.

We went through the same thing when I was a kid. They cut down our elm,
tree, dug up the hedge, laid a sewer line, and charged for it by the
frontage even though we weren't connected. My mother eventually
connected after my father died. Our septic system consisted of 4" soil
pipe directly into the creek so it probably wasn't a bad idea. Everybody
did it and the kids that swam in the creek knew enough not to swallow.
Didn't kill us, made us stronger.

Don't have a bathtub and don't get anything special

worst that happens is that the ****ter doesn't flush.

Once I had a "correctly wired" male to male extension cord. A neighbor

It may be buried in the ASTM standard for faucets but I don't see it
in the plumbing code.
Found another one:

2006 IRC
P2722.2 Hot water. Fixture fittings and faucets that are supplied
with both hot and cold water shall be installed and
adjusted so that the left-hand side of thewater temperature control
represents the flow of hot water when facing the outlet.
Exception: Shower and tub/shower mixing valves conforming
to ASSE 1016 or CSA B125, where the water temperature
control corresponds to the markings on the device.

I bow to your cites. I am electrical but what I know about plumbing is
confirmed. "Cold water goes on the right and **** don't flow uphill"
