Man I really appreciate that you're not one of the elitist repair people that get super upset when homeowners or other mechanically/electrically inclined people attempt to resolve their own issues. You're polite and helpful, and you clearly understand that homeowners aren't trying to sabotage you before you show up. Many of these folks are just trying to save what little money they have and fix their own problems if possible.
Kudos, brother.
I love how Steve repeats things over and over when talking about a problem, its hilarious.
Same 😆😅🤣
Me too
When he’s brazing a pipe and keeps singing “burnin down the house” the whole time……funniest thing ever
@@andrewbechtel5821 steve has a better sense of humor than anything on TV
Steve reminds me of Jimmy 2 Times in Goodfellas! I'm going to fix the furnace...fix the furnace!
Me: What did you find, Steve?
Steve: My technical answer is, "The kids have been putting shit into the exhaust pipe!"
horses and dinosaurs
Season's greetings from Canada, Steve. Our temperature today is -28C with windchill of -35C.
With all the things learned from you I keep our 95% efficiency furnace in good working order
keeping us warm.
Thank you for your contributions to the plumbing,heating,and cooling profession.This has helped me improve my skills and boost morale. Keep up the cool videos and helping others stay sharp !!
I loved the phone call, two guys bustin each other's balls! Lol.
It's amazing Steve, how all your years of experience pays off, simple fix for you and you make the other dude shine! Class act friend, Merry Christmas, remain blessed 🙌
Been a service guy for awhile and never thought to put a vacuum on the pipe and blow out any debri awesome trick thanks Steve for all your awesome videos
I found a duck on top of the heat exchanger during an annual service. I was like what the duck?!! LOL
Happy holidays Steve, before I retired I work for the city in Detroit and came across a lot of sabotage on the job. Most of the time we had to work with what we had, if I had a switch with that type and the connection was broken off I would take the tip of a exacto knife break it off and was able to stick it in where the connection broke off. I hope this helps you never know when the trick will come in handy, best regards Wolfie
I’ve been watching for years. Knowledge and entertainment that’s why I keep watching. Thank you very much. 👍🏽
Thanks for putting out a vid everyday steve and i hope you and Molly have a great holiday
Steve, I will give you a tech tip for once. Use your manometer and check the inches of WC on the hose going to the pressure switch from the inducer. It should be roughly double what the pressure switch is rated for. If its not, then you have a blockage in the exhaust pipe. I can usually troubleshoot a system like that within 15 minutes.
it should roughly be double the rating unless its a trane/american standard. they dont get double the reading
My favorite preschool calls is when the toilets for the whole school wing are backing up into the building and everyone swears no baby wipes are going down the toilets. One of these days I’m going to leave the wad of wipes we pull out on the snake in a zip lock bag taped to the wall for proof.
Plastic fibers in personal and disposable household cleaning wipes should be illegal, in my opinion.
Wishing you, miss Molly, and all subscriber's have a nice relaxing holiday weekend. 👍🎅🐶
We had sewer gas in our elementary school restrooms, the kids were going on the roof and filling the vent stacks with the ballast off the roof. They also make caps for this situation .
Bird screens!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to Steve and Molly, Stay safe..
lol, I was expecting a dead Rat ... when I moved a low return duct in my mothers house in what was our downstairs playroom as kids I found dozens of toys from the 50-60's ... worst part was I think I dropped most of them in there ; ) .... well Steve, you found the issue fast and gave him the "shine" and a few laughs .... have a Merry Christmas and give Molly a scratch on the head from us !
This reminds me of the Little Rascals TV show always getting in trouble. Nice catch!
Great bit of diagnostics and repair Steve. Happy Christmas. Thanks for all the videos.
Might be better to put 4/5 foot onto that exhaust to get it away from the playing children. It would also allow intake to be risen from the ground.
You have the best videos Steve, Happy Holidays to you and Ms. Molly. 🐕 😊
They should run both the pipes up the wall higher out the reach of the kids and snow! 👍
Agreed, no real need for a screen then.
Been watching for years. Awesome Happy holidays
Happy holidays!
Yep, seen that one before and of course it was a daycare house. You are lucky you were able to blow it out if the put rocks down the PVC venting you might have to cut it apart. I have wondered if a Pipe Snake would ever have to be used. Good Job Steve.
That would've been funny shit if the camera was outside when he turned the vacuum on to see all that stuff come hammering out of the pipe
amazon sells a cheap scope that connects to your phone , has a light at the end, helped me troubleshoot this exact same situation
That was one of the funniest finds though. Great work!
I hate the exhaust system on a 90, that's exactly what you wanna do, pop the pipe off and see if she lights. I love how you are calling it a clogged pipe the whole time.
Hahahaha the kids clogged it. Literally made me bust out laughing.
Steve you need to get a digital manometer.. you could save a lot of time trouble shooting pressure switch ,vent pipes, heat exchangers , exhaust - ventor motor and others.. Normally pressure switch don't go bad
time is money though.. lol
Great troubling shooting skills as usual, repairs, and explanations. Also good video as usual explaining your steps to the final repair. But what stood out for me is when you said " screwed glued and tattooed " I have not heard that saying in decades :). Also love your dog !
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family Steve. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.
hahahaha... that's awesome. Merry Christmas from Houston, Steve. Hope you have a great one! I've greatly enjoyed watching your videos!
My electronics repair shop in the 1990's kept getting computer floppy drives from a daycare center with those flat toy pieces inserted inside.
Haha laughed my ass off when I saw all the toys! It was Christmas presents to you Steve.
Fricken toys in the exhaust, Hilarious! Thanks for sharing Steve!
Nice seeing videos like this. There's not much available on a commercial scale in the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man what a shop vac. Blew that shit right out. Good job as always 👏
Didn't expect the kiddy toys. They always have birds in them. Quick diagnosis with unglued and too bad when you got to fix one thing just to figure out what's really wrong with it, but you'll have that. You are very entertaining; in case no one has told you lately.
And again, I say! OMG Miss Molly! You sure are a cutie patootie.
I have had two this season so far , one was a cigarette pack and the other was 2 rubber duckies lol .
Before I replace a pressure switch i always put my manometer on the ventor . Merry Christmas Steve
Merry Christmas Steve. Hope you and Molly have a good one.⛄🎄🎅🏻
Merry Christmas Steve and Miss Molly !
Too funny! Great Christmas video Steve.
Merry Christmas Steve and Ms. Molly. Keep the videos coming,, great work.
That's one badass accent you have it makes me happy just listening to you not to mention the want to toss back a few brews.
that reminds me when I was 3 or 4 in day care; the neighbor would watch 8 or 10 of us, and they had an oil burning boiler to heat the house. out back, us kids were really interested in the oil filler pipe for some reason, I think because it had a metal cover on top that was hinged, so you could lift the cover up and fill it with oil. anyways, we stuffed all kinds of things down the pipe, like sticks and rocks and a few glasses of kool aid. needless to say, they weren't too happy in the fall when it was heating season and all that stuff was in the tank and pipes!
Good troubleshooting Steve
“….. she don’t take after you, Steve.” Feel the BURN !
Absolutely amazing!
I have a nephew that used my VCR as a garage for his Hot Wheels car when they came to visit once, the wife said it won't load my workout tape, I opened up the door and bingo there was the car...
My neighbor told me that his kid put a peanut butter sandwich in the VCR because “it was hungry”.
@@picklerix6162 lol
Hes a gem and cracks me up, also knows his job
25:16 Congrats to your daughter Steve for becoming a Front-end Manager at Lowe's. I'm a cashier at Lowe's been with the company for a year going to be 2 year's on September 8th!. I work at the Frisco Store in Texas!.
Great job Steve. I would consider extending both pipes higher if possible? Merry Christmas!!
Dear Steve. the Day care centre probably started as a large house,
then made into a day care centre.
I would lift the intake & exit ports to bring it up to standard. the intake
port is all ready sucking moisture into the unit rusting out the chamber,
Having an exhaust port at at child height is enough to have the childcare
centre shut down is the gas Co2 entering the playground aria.
or you may install a new unit when it fails next time.
I love watching you solve problems, Mis Molly & the Chooks the only GIRLS
allowed to give you any cheek, love the VAN it sounds like a CHARFCUTTER.
Happy New Year. Good health from Australia 38C today.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
First thing to do is remove intake pipe and then try the furnace. One poor guy had his 3" intake pipe blocked with leaves showed him. He paid the bill. Week later came back. He put a white nylon stocking over the inlet pipe on the out side of house. It was raing that day stocking got wet, yup, no heat. Removed stocking it worked. Felt sorry for him, no charge for the 5 minuted call. Nice video, just brought memories.
Crazy find... Good find...
Got to love them kids.🤦♂️🤣 nice find Steve.👍
Not only do I get to learn, ,,,,,but you keep me laughing the whole time!
OMG Steve!!!!!!! Good find
Nice job Steve but you forgot to take the tape off the door switch!!!!!!
I'll bet, that was the first time you found a dinosaur in the pipe!😅🤣
Happy holidays!
🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🏌🏻♀️🎯
Stay safe.
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!
Great guy, funny as hell lol
Steve thanks for your great content buddy. Keep em’ comin 👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣too funny, I think I would add a screen & 3’ to that pipe lol. That’s one for the history books. Merry Christmas stay well.
I haven't run into that before, hilarious 🤣 ⛄🎄
I had a good laugh seeing the toys
I had kids putting rocks down a exhaust, had a company try to sell this lady a new furnace over it..unit was 5 years old
That was a good one.
Nice job Steve
Good job Steve.
Lol, Steve. Merry Christmas :)
Great idea to use the vacuum. That combustion intake is some BS. Manufacturers spec is probably above Anticipated snow level. I’d repipe that myself. Anyway I’m retired now from the gas company in Vermont. No more on call. Life in Florida is awesome
Damn kids! Lol Merry Christmas Steve!
Unreal!!!!
You remind me of Scotty from Star Trek.
He always found out what was wrong, no matter what.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Steve.
Too bad you weren’t on the other end watching the crap blow out. Your reaction would have been priceless. Next level baby! Merry Xmas
Hey Fritz, it's find. Merry Christmas!
HAHA Flippen Kids, Kids sent the toys to Santa via thru pipe. Merry Christmas Steve and Miss Molly
That made me laugh too! 😄
Love the exhaust into a playground 😲
Good idea using the sweeper!
Great video
I have the same vac. Nice and powerful.
That was an interesting one.
Never a dull moment!!!
I laughed so hard !!! Dang kid's dropping toys down the pipe....Good one Steve..Merry Christmas
Definitely the dinosaur! They get ya everytime!
Merry Christmas may you and your family have a peaceful and Healthy New Year. Bill N LI NY
It was the Grinch hiding all the toys. lol
Damn kids 😆 that’s funny 👍🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸 good find Steve lav
I had to bail his sorry ass out 🤣🤣🤣 You sure got a way with words 😂😂😂 Good entertainment ... We need it more than ever now a days ... Thx for sharing 👍🎅🎄🕎
Well done like a pro
Next they'll be sticking the garden hose in there.
LMAO!! I can relate to that!
Joyeux Noel.. have some caribou over the season.. A French Canadian treat!
Steve, my son is in the cold northeast like you are. When he had a new system installed I questioned not having some kind of cover over those vents. They refused to install those caps because there is humidity that exits there. They claim during the winter those caps will eventually ice over and block the vents. I too was afraid of critters entering those vents.
Some manufacturers void the warranty if you put any sort of cap over the exhaust or intake
They will ice over in cold climates especially if the wind hits that side we'll even have pipes freeze over without them
@@MrBrioke 100% we Never put anything screens on and this is very true that warranty can be voided if so
It’s true, and it’s a shame because it’s the obvious solution to critter control, but it risks causing major issues.
Merry Christmas Steve!!
Happy holidays!
Happy Christmas 🎄 Steve and miss molly wishing you a very safe 🙏 Christmas ok
From Charles
At 1:43 that dude in the pickup truck was definitely shitting bricks when Steve tried to avoid that puddle 😆🤦♂️
Over here in the UK the flue would never have passed code.Terminating at that height and into a childrens area,unbelievably dangerous. Just saying. Love your vids.
It's probably easier for you guys there cause you've just got national standards/laws/codes that are the same everywhere. Here in the states almost all the regulation on everything is done at the state level. One state can be completely different from the next, and often is. 50 sets of rules. It's amazing anything ever gets done right at all. Lol
Give her the ol gundy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great 👍 buddy
As you would say Steven never a dull moment what kids will put down in pipes
Nice work
