    This is an excellent video. I'm a licensed plumber and I wish people would watch this video before attempting to build their own plumbing systems.
    I've been watching some of the other videos on the channel and learning lots. I figured I'd watch this one to nitpick a lil since I'm a licensed plumber and honestly some of the tips here are incredible. The hole saw sizing to be used for the toilet AND the shower. I honestly never even considered that. The wood spacer on the toilet flange is an amazing idea that plumbers in my area don't do and we regularly have leaks on wax seals because the face of their flange isn't the 1/8" - 1/4" above the finished floor.
    I think it's neat how you individually vent the toilet because that's a more commonly accepting practice across different states and codes even though wet venting is a common practice in some areas. You really set the viewer up for success with that one. It'd be worth adding a bit on how the shower was vented.
    I wouldn't recommend flushing the flange test plug down the drain though. We get a few calls about those getting stuck in odd places here and there and it always feels kinda silly to have to tell people that large plastic flaps don't always travel down the drain very well. Fish it out with an extra long pair of needle nose pliers. Drill it out with a hole saw or rip the tab on top in a twisting motion and it should come out.
    Other than that and a few personal preferences on finish pipes I've gotta say you know plumbing better than some plumbers I know and I've been doing this for about 10 years.
    If you know the other trades about as well as you know plumbing, I feel pretty confident you've taught me enough to build my own house properly or at least close enough for the inspectors to correct me on just minor things.
    Thank you.

    I’m a certified industrial chemical plumber, we often use pvc for its chemical resistance. You cannot let the primer fully dry. The pipe and fitting must both be tacky when you apply the glue or you will not get a full chemical reaction. Also it isn’t dry fitting anymore once you wet the pipe with primer, all that twisting and pulling on the primed fittings is disturbing the primed surfaces

    Do yourself a favor and buy some Milwaukee hole saws with a quick release mandrall. When its time to remove the wood scrap from the hole saw, just first pull back the quick release by hand, pop the drill into reverse holding the saw by hand to unscrew the saw from the mandrall, and then use the tip of the pilot bit to push out the circular wood scrap. I spent many years the hard way removing cores with whatever was nearby. So much easier and professional now.
