When I first started in mid 1980s, you could still get solid brass, chrome plated pipe escutcheons.  7 out of 10 plumbers can't spell escutcheon....5 out of ten leave the B out of plumber..ha ha.  Mad Dog 

You mean "discussions"

Years ago, I ran into a job that had a similar problem where a non-union plumbing company and a union steam fitter company had an ongoing feud and the fitters came in early and put a bucket of ping pong balls into the supply piping for the domestic water for the building. Every time the building's water system was drained the ping pong balls moved somewhere else. What a mess. This happened just after the "right to work" laws were implemented in Pa. I just happened to be on that job to start up 2 H B Smith boilers the day they cut open the main supply line.

You need to wait until Friday to find out! Ray has a "No Questions Policy" except when @retiredguy ask's them.

That looks like a typical restaurant restroom where the owner is to cheap to hire a professional and let the busboy take care of it...
