I am a plumbing contractor, I am seeing a lot of new projects fall through in the past few months. A drywall contractor i know does about 180 houses a year, only has 10 bids out right now. What is everyone else seeing in their markets? Also, im always open to give plumbing advice for any frens that need it :)

bought a house in texas... ffs clay soil sucks. The pipe coming out of the wall under my kitchen sink angles down, because that side of the house raised due to clay soil swelling, and the clearance hole around it didnt have enough clearance. so with it angle down, that whole section becomes a trap, and doesnt drain properly. its not my skillset to fix, im an electrical engineer (electronics not electrician altthough im tired of my job and looking at a computer scree most the day)... i think ill eventually cut a bigger clearance hole to alleviate, then see if that pipe cant be made level... but ive got so many things to do, prepping , this is the least of my worries :P
Yes fren I would start by carving out the back of the cabinet on top of the pipe to relieve the strain on it. If you need to, cut the pipe and put in a coupling, when you glue it it has some play so you'd be able to angle it up.
the pipe coming out of the wall is metal, is that normall?
For old houses yes.
