Normally, I wouldn’t comment on a post that’s this far out of place from the OP, but you need to look again at your picture. There’s nothing about that set up that is “up to standards.” The P-trap is backwards and the DW drain line needs a high-loop or an air-gap. When the DW drain line starts turning black as in your picture, that’s bacteria from the disposal… ---

> [@rjude](#): > > are you saying a high loop will remove bacteria from the DW drain line? theres bacteria coming from the DW also… I didn’t notice this post Robert. A high loop does nothing to “remove” bacteria, but it aids in preventing bacteria from the disposal entering the dishwasher-drain line. When a dishwasher drain line is properly installed, the likelihood of bacteria remaining and “growing” in the drain line is minimal. I guess this will just be a “hodgepodge” thread 🙂 ---

Hello, I am finishing up the inspecting means of Egress part of the course and so here is a picture of a bedroom window. This window is in compliance as the height off the floor is 33 1/2" and the opening exceeds 20" x 24". ![window.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/c/4/c4639464c21de6aa94c433d544b4d5d8bb776933.jpeg) ---
