2nd birthday in 3 years having to deal with this. Why the hell do people think it's a good idea to tie the copper plumbing lines in the slab to a piece of rebar? Please, if you have to, use a piece of 1x or formwork stake the next time you need to keep a plumbing line vertical during a concrete pour.
