I know that this is supposed to be a blog about french food, but I am not finished with the plumbing just yet.

So,  if you are going to serve beer and wine you must have a urinal in the mens room. No one at the State alcohol office knows why this is, but they enforce it. So that takes a week and three hundred dollars.

If you have a urinal, you must have a water hammer arrest valve on the water pipe. City rule. Keeps pipes from bursting. OK. $150, eight hours.

You must also have a floor drain. Because people, well you know, sprinkle.  $300, 3 days.

If you have a floor drain you must have a trap primer, to keep the floor drain from drying out and getting stinky. $180, 1 day.

You will also need a vent on that drain. To the roof. With a clean out access. $50, 1 day.

Oops. You connected the vent pipe  up-stream of the drain pipe. Do that again. $50, 2 days.

All for a urinal you did not want, and that no one knows why you must have.

Gender equality indeed.
