Customer: I’ll take Buffalo chicken with pickles and olives.
Steve in the back: It’s a real shit show back here! 😂😂😂
Steve a funny guy hollering "It a Shit Show" while the guy is taking lunch orders
I said the same thing before reading your comments!
Can’t believe that’s anywhere near a food prep area
No silicone applied under the faucet or where the sink meets the wall to protect from water.....Just saying.
Give me a Ham on Rye, some chips and a Tetanus shot....
But do you want mayo?
Extra rust of course!
Lmao!
Easy on the Mayo too.....
Is mayonnaise an instrument
Take a piece of PVC and slot it to fit the faucet nut, glue a tee on bottom. Instant faucet nut wrench. Beats the channel locks or futzing around with nut.
What restaurant is this so I can avoid it?
Loved this video! Amazing that the Health Inspector didn't ding them over that faucet; it's on a required handwashing station, after all.
I put gloves on just to watch this!
😄😄🤣
That sink looks so bad, I sent it a Get Well card.
Andrew Welch no glove no love
Next time you are driving in a difficult screw like that the spinning cover on the driver extension in designed to slide over the screw so it won't wobble off and makes driving it in much much easier.
I've worked in the restaurant business for over 25 years. Nastiest shit I've ever seen. Steve is trying to fix it the best he can for as cheap as he can. I can only imagine the other shortcuts this restaurant takes.
Those copper supply tubes were the only thing keeping that sink from hitting the floor
Remember to disinfect your tools afterwards.
Fun fact, If you strip a phillips screw head ( x ) , then spin and strip the hELL out of it.... then you can use a robertson Bit ( square ) in the stripped phillips head and it works like a charm... Your welcome from Canada :)
I have watched your videos for a long time now. I have learned a couple things from you as I do all my own home repairs. Thank you for that. I was the type of kid that my father had me doing everything from lawn care, automotive repair, plumbing, electrical all the way up to the roof for roofing. One thing I have learned is you never know enough and to always keep learning.
YOU DOG IS SO AMAZING. I had one that looked just like her. He was my best friend and when we first got him he was immediately attached to me. I called him my little Buddy and the name stuck. Buddy lived for 7 years until one day a German Shepard took my best friend away from me. He helped me through some rough times. What breed is she? I always thought mine was a chihuahua but the very fluffy head and neck led me to believe something else. He looked identical to your girl, white coat with the spot on the eye, except his was black.
Keep up the videos.
At least no roaches scrambled away when you took the sink off.
Roaches have standards too.
You should do a tee that says “it’s a real shit show”😂I’d def buy that one!
instablaster...
You are the most confident person I have ever seen. You don't back down from any job. I truly enjoy your videos, keep it real. I wish I would have found your channel sooner.
"Want a new faucet?"
Owner then goes into tirade about tradesman bidding low to come back. Sounds like he's denied a faucet job before.
This just happened this morning, it was fine when we left last night, honestly.
That installation isnt even that old- PVC pipe, washable walls, , it was done within the last 20-30 years for sure; . Just hate to think thats where they were washing their hands for your food!!!
Luckily, they only use that handwash sink once every three months, plus to spit in
I think they piss in it look at the faucet momma
Great job Steve
You took the time to clean the sink where the faucet was and did the repair in s professional manner
That old faucet looks pretty bad, but I am sure that it was made better and lasted longer than anything made today. They got their money’s worth!
" I think I'm better off not knowing any politicians" laughed my ass off.... No truer words spoken on you tube
@@oleyholmes1989 yup, know what you mean, very liberal
Steve: This rusted old brake caliper from a 1970 Buick should work to hold the sink up.
Deli Man: You want honey ham? Buffalo Turkey? Hello?
Steve from back room: What a shit show.
Lmao Does everyone in the East Coast Shout for no reason.
I've seen that too - people shouting in NYC for no reason.
Hahahahahha
@@Yophillips3272 When you grow up with your deaf Italian grandma living with you you get used to shouting all the time.
Toad Phillips YES!!!!
I like the electric cord threw the drain
I like the way you got everything to go back where it was without tearing everything apart. Good work be an experienced plumber.
I love work, I could watch it for hours.
Tell that hard of hearing owner to spring for a new sink.
**meh, looks level**
Every time you beat it i can't stop laughing
not like the dude in the shop is gunna notice, considering how nasty that place is!
Also puts 2 1/2 inch screws right in the wall not knowing if the pipes are coming down the other side. Dodged a leak there
I was thinking the same thing. Does he even own a level?
That’s what the drill is for. They don’t call ‘em a hammer drill for nothing!
NYC Health Department would fix that entire store in one visit. CLOSED!!
Thinking same thing. I would eat nothing from that place. JESUS.
Then y'all haven't seen anything. Lol I plumb, and believe me almost every restaurant I've worked in it looks the same as in this video.
@@Scott-eo7lj my dad used to say looking inside of a copper pipe is enough to make someone stop drinking tap water (though it's fine to drink) but also that it's nothing compared to inside a restaurant's kitchen.
"Why the hell would I want to spend money at a restaurant when I can make the same thing at home in a cleaner kitchen?"
Jason Bonk b
At first I thought it as a gas station bathroom... Until someone started to order food..... There is no way I'd eat in that place. And the workmanship, please, we clean and sand off all the crude where the handle goes, but the drain, that needs to seal, you just pile in the plumber putty?????? Wow, I guess you don't want to set a precedent of quality workmanship with all that other cobbeled shit for sure..
Got the ol Wilco channys I see, the best ever made. Like my old Imperial cutters I've had for over 20 years. Good tools were made to last... Keep up the good work!!!
That faucet was eroding away.
At least it came apart.
Great job and thanks for sharing.
I had a faucet one time.
the hoses and the Wingnuts we're so corroded and Frozen on.
it was easier for me to grab a Saw-saw and cut the base of the faucet from the sink.
I thought the second part was going to be a limerick.
Now some soap and paper towels and the health department will be happy.
Learning to cook is the best thing you can do for your own health.
You replaced every damn thing except the porcelain
He probably kept the old faucet and tried to sell it on craigslist.
just sub. Man you guys from the NE and your accents and how straight forward you are GREAT and funny to listen to. Plus i learn about plumbing!
Amazingly the shutoffs worked!
And they didn't leak, I was shocked!
they probably will start leaking once turned on
I know I thought they would be seized
If they are easy to get to I always change them to 1/4 turn ball valve type if customer is willing just try to help the call in future
Some believe you don't need any, as you have the water main valve to use.
eeeeek! that woman just bought a sandwich with extra mayo... I hope she ate it with gloves
you gotta watch those ones that want the extra mayo
ooooh yea! as she put it
Steve that's a true hammer drill
So I chose to watch this and next I'm eating dinner. Cooking for myself tonight after seeing this. 😂🤣😅
Mel's diner is going to have to sell 500 subs to pay that plumber's bill..
Ha Ha! S: "Did you see how bad this faucet was? It could have been worse - it could have been at my house!"...LOL
And then you would have to fix it free! Real Shit Show, Next Level Mama
That's why plumbers don't bite thier fingernails.
That’s where all the flavor comes from! And you thought it was the mayo!
I'm from Georgia and I lived up north with you guys for 2 years. If I'd have worked with you I'd still be there. Love your channel and think your a good person after seeing you help the woman with the cat shit and still treat her with respect.
You mean, that lonely woman who had her basement filled with sleeping pills? That woman?
Reminds me of one of the old local places I’ve serviced here in Chicago, especially the part about the politicians . 😂
I always hate trying to run screws into FRP without drilling a pilot hole, but I still fight it rather than walking back out to my truck for the drill bits.
Still remember the one you posted with the brother and sister in their mom's basement with the moldy toilet paper. Lol. Crap on everything. This place is clean by comparison.
I gotta see that. Do you have a link? Or know when (roughly) it was uploaded?
@@captain150 probably a year ago. There were two of them.
@@Bob.W. Hm the couple grody ones that stick out for me are the place with the rabbit shit everywhere which was gruesome, and the toilet plugged with turkey bones. The lady blew out her ass in that toilet before Steve came. Horrible!
OMG that is hilarious. I always get a good laugh out of the comments
captain150 I totally remember the one with turkey bones!!!! He pulled them out of the toilet and then left them on the floor. He said something along the lines of “ I’m no janitor “. Classic stuff.
I used to pick up dead people...freaky...my wife wanted me to follow intense decontamination procedures before I went back in the house...
Now, if this was at a restaurant, what hellish food prep are they capable of? Diarrhea tragedy or botulism death.
Somebody buy this guy an impact, it will change your life if you don't have one.
Just a guess no hand soap in the place
I think it's about time for a renovation for that joint.
Renovation? You mean 10 gallons of gas and a match,.
"That's pretty bad." I think he is trying to say it's pretty bad. At least they called before the sink fell off the wall.
The drain and suppy lines wrte holding it up
@@RobertBrown-jz4qj yeah luckily the supply lines were not the flexible ones...
Drinking game: every time Steve says this is a shit show, this is bad, worst I’ve ever seen. DRINK.
Brently Palmer so we get hammered the first 4 mins in? 😂
Better yet, every time dmx there says the word "know"
Also "Thats pretty bad"
7 minutes in, already hammered
if you want to die add moma to that
The commentary is some of the best part of your videos. How you just go with the conversation when you're trying to work, don't know how you do it.
I dont think this restaurant has had a health check in decades. look at the condition of that place. disgusting
Employees please wash hands after watching this video
Im not good at plumbing but now I realize im not using my hammer enough
Right. A plumber I used to work with had the nickname, John J. Smashenhammer
Very nicely fixed great job 👍 never seen before 😁
I've seen worse, I did a sink in a 100 + year old house in Hawaii. This had add on bathrooms built on an outside corner (probably added in the 30's). This was also single wall construction. I volunteered to do the job for my 80 year old neighbor, after the last guy screwed up seriously on the lower bathroom.
I ended up rebuilding a lot of wall, refitted the water shut off valves , and had to redo the whole drain system. He did pay for all materials and wanted to give me more money than I wanted. He's like an uncle to me, so we agreed to my price plus a six pack to call it even.
That faucet build up was nothing compared to uncle's. He had the old school individual valves and faucet.
35 years of bleach!
She's a crusty one momma! Good job steve!
He got his money’s worth out of that 12 dollar faucet and 25 dollar sink😂😂
Steve is a real workingman mama
Woke the wife up laughing so hard at some of these comments. Looks like I'm sleeping downstairs with the dog tonight. What a shit show!
Plumber at my work says why do you wear gloves? Thats what soap and waters for. Meanwhile he’s always off with rare sicknesses after sticking his hands in 2 inches of shit in the sewer. Haha
Getting an infected finger isn't fun either.
Who in their right mind would eat anything cooked in that dump....WOW.....certainly ain't no taj mahal momma
That's why i don't do shit no more for my mother in laws house, no matter how careful you are, you end up breaking 20 other things just to fix one!
Nasty! I don't think I would want to eat any food that came from there. 🤢
Jim Clark Lmao!
J W That’s definitely true
Watch bar rescue or other shows like it and you will never eat out lol
Kevin R What did you see? 🤔
On the other hand, that sink didn't get that way without them using the hell out of it, so you know they followed hand washing protocols.
Love how Steve just hammers away till he thinks its level, I would have done the same with that shit show.
Damn, was that a restaurant or a slaughterhouse? Lol. The nicest thing in that whole place was the faucet you installed Steve!
Nice job !!
Filthy no way I would eat from there. To f*ck with that!! Stupid owner tighter than 2 coats off paint for 35 years dirty and filthy good video Steve as always buddy!
Wish I had a nickel for each time you called it a shitshow, lol. Good post Steve. Miss Molly is adapting real well.
Steve I wouldn’t wanna be you that really needed the old Gandhi good job brother learned a lot from you
ah! New Beigh! Amaral's? used to live up the street. The whole city is in disrepair lol!
Amazing how the drain pipe lined up perfect after changing the bracket. If it was me at home it would be off just an inch or so. LOL
Smooth move. 17:57. Returning sink to wall and fitting tail piece in drain at same time
Good job Steve 👍
Pretty typical of a small commercial food service establishment. The bucks are spent in the area the customers can see. That's how you stay in business.
why do you wear gloves?
you want mayo on that?
10:25 - somebody rips one!!!!
I watch this one when thinking about take out sandwiches-"we got buffalo chicken & thats it..."let me go wash my hands first.....in the toilet hahaha!
Didnt see the torpedo level lol, ah good enough
You a great job of showing off our New England charm! LOL!
Am I the only one who would love an "it's a real shit show here mama" Lavimoniere branded tshirt or mug?
I wonder of this is the place that had the flooded storage building, frozen pipe. etc.
Houston we've got a flopper. Great vid Steve!
I used to do a lot of jobs that looked like that! lol They build character.
Looks like 10 yrs of hangovers. All the stomach acid ruined that faucet.
Hope you didn't rush things. Faucet had some cosmetic issues but din't drip and aerator seemed OK.
Hey are you going to throw that old faucet away? I could use it it's not that bad..
The apartment with the rabbits would also be a contender.
Ain't no Taj Mahal!
Nice job Steve but where is the flipping health department. Really!!!!
Better put some lag bolts in that sink bracket! You never know if it will be used to do the nasty Steve! I'm still laughing about that!
I can never figure out why you wear gloves, Steve.
Nice work
“ it’s pretty bad “ 😂😂😂
Steves truck is a treasure trove
Nasty one there Steve
Good work Steve. Turned that garbage into something respectable.
