We also do have the sewer vent pipes. It is card black. All the way back into the house. They have to do some interior demo. They actually get that. Copy. Is there a way you can locate in the ceiling where that comes down for us so we're not getting too far in? It's going to be in that front, the AV corner, it looks like. So far confirmed you see it. The direction is that pipe from where you're at, towards the truck or away from it. To the east, through the east. You see my flashlight? I'm pointing points in direction. 5.31. 5.3.
