I carry a phone company can wrench for those fits perfect and in tight spaces

This is the guy you hope your relatives call for repairs. Really really good video.

The only thing wrong with this advice is that it requires integrity and good work lol. It just basically seems like you’re using Nextdoor as a really effective digital word of mouth platform. I really like the way you do it. You can easily make 300k/year doing just what he is talking about with a pretty stress free lifestyle. Truly good advice and it is proven.

Thank you... This is something i needed confidence to approach.. (unskilled female) your channel is so helpful , thanks

I almost never come across drain down valves like that. Super convenient

WD-40 ?

I’ve seen brand new I kind of like that corner tank. I think it’s stupid but I kind of like it.

Dude! That looks fun. I’m setting up a jam spot in my shop soon. Getting all the boys back together again and we’re gonna rock out all night. Probably going to have to wait til after summer though. Too damn hot

Looks like he did the tile also.

Never from a store like Lowes or home depot, might as well go to Walmart

Just a simple vacuum breaker

They all come with one, that is if you bought a good one

I clean the access flux after I've applied heat for a bit, I can clean up more of it ensuring no runs. I also don't drag the solder around the joint, it gets too messy for me. If it's a horizontal like the bottom joint of that 90 I just run the solder around the crown and watch it flow around and down till it leaves the buld on bottom then knock it off with my finger tip. If it's a vertical I tap the joint in one spot with the tip of the solder (preferably the back, opposite of heat and where no one will see it) and let the solder flow around until its filled. Lastly, when the fitting is still hot I wipe it down all over with the flux brush _then_ wipe the flux off with a towel. That way there is no discoloration from heat or staining from burnt flux. Longer process but to me the perfect swet joint is one where it looks like someone drew a small line around the joint with a fine point silver marker. I know, I'm weird. 😒

Man I would always put a new waterline back because if that one leaks the owner is going to say you was the last person who worked on it. Just my opinion. Like your videos

My uncle said he plumbed in a bunch of houses with copper drains and vents back in the day. Said it didn’t cost a ton more than cast iron and it went a hell of a lot faster and one man could easily rough in some plumbing a lot easier with copper than heavy ass cast iron. Now it’s just so cost prohibitive it seems crazy to plumb drains like that. It’s cost more than $1,500 in material to do that little bit. It sure is nice though.

My guy has changed half of the hose bibs in Virginia at this point lol.

When soldering, you should always flick the heat on to the pipe so it gets heated up as well as the fitting. You are correct with holding the heat to the end of the junction between the pipe and the fitting because it will pull the solder in, but you should also start applying the solder to the bottom of the joint. When you start on the top, you are lucky if you get half of the joint filled with solder in the bottom half. If you start applying the solder in the bottom, with the heat applied at the end of the pipe inside of the fitting, you will then pull the solder full depth into the joint. Then you can go around the sides as needed, then finish on the top. Also, make sure the pipe is not a sealed system without some type of faucet or valve being open to allow the steam to escape from the system when soldering,,, not an issue here, but certainly could be in a real world scenario. These thoughts are from a Journeyman Plumber, and I think you have the right idea, but a little recommendation from here,,, I will say that the only solder joints I have ever had leaked when I was an apprentice were because I started soldering from the top of the joint and not the bottom. I was concerned you were not going to wipe the excess flux before soldering, but you absolutely did and I have to give you credit! Overall your skills are pretty good

That was some dirty water! Nice install!

Excellent. I tried with a narrow drill bit, but it didn’t work. I need to use a bit as wide as the vacuum breaker screw.

Good job man. Keep’em coming. What type of basin wrench do you use? Thanks!

Did you install a new one or added a clear looking rubber piece on the bottom of the faucet?

Nice work! The putty being smashed was satisfying!

That’s how i do it. Bonus points if you do it to your shower head

Excellent work!

Where did my comment go? 🤔

Why the no-name brand ball valve?

You felt every joint for leaks except for the sharkbite 😂

How can I contact you? Do you have a contact method?

I think you confused yourself sir.

Thanks! Big help!

While your at it, you should reseal that grey muck behind the faucet.

For me the 80’s was the best era for metal music. Ozzy, Iron Maiden, AC/DC,, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, & Slayer. Then the 90’s was the new era of Metal with the beginning of grunge with Nirvana, then Pantera, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, & Pearl Jam.

Why is the vent sticking up about a foot and then capped off? I've installed those under sink drain pumps and if you don't have a vent then the whole thing air locks and won't drain.

Thanks for the videos

Is that pan arranged in a scale like a harmonica?

If you run the washer to that trap you’ll still need that 18 inch riser on top of that P-trap for the suds. I think it would be way better to run it to that instead of the sink and then the pump, but I’d be nervous about the pump in the washing machine being able to pump it up high enough after you put that 18 inch standpipe on top of the P-trap. It’s only like an extra 3.5 feet of head but that’s essentially double what the pump does now. It would probably be fine but I don’t know. It’s something my paranoid ass would be worried about. I’m also honestly not entirely sure if that 18 inch standpipe is as important as the code says it is. I don’t know if it’s like old laundry detergent from the 60s was extra sudsy and bubbled up and maybe today’s shit it won’t be an issue. I don’t know, I’m not talking shit. I’m just a little buzzed and Vibin with your video. You always have the chillest vibe.

I’m curious how you get your work? do you advertise at all? I would imagine you can keep yourself plenty busy with just word-of-mouth with the way you work. I just really like the way you do things and I’m considering getting back into residential.

Beautiful copper drain lines. It took someone a lot of time to do that back in the day.

Good job

Ma non penso tu sia idraulico troppi casini

Useless video

Good job 👏 no tee with a boiler drain tho? It'd make it easy to drain the house down before making repairs.

Perfect example of a cymbal addict

Perfect! I’m going to bed 🥱😁

Much better than the plastic Acorn stop. Thankfully I've never even seen that type of angle stop in my area

Should have pro pressed it

Hate those pos. Good job !

I wish I had found your videos a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of headaches. Thank you for what you do!! 👍
