“ This job might be simple enough, but this job is for a licensed professional.”
Yes, sir! 💪🏼
lol just use dope. make it tight. leak test. done.
NO SIREE! Original TOH = SWEAT EQUITY!!!
Keep the videos coming learning a lot👍👍👍👍
19:37 same
Laughed pretty hard at that one.
_up to_
depends on the weather
Man I miss seeing Roger, hope he is doing well.
he died
@@lostintime8651 Has that been confirmed? I haven't found any info on that.
what condition does he have?
@@bkoz319 Not exactly sure, he's been pretty private overall with his condition. Just through appearances from his final episodes possibly Parkinsons.
@@lostintime8651 if he died we would all know about it. I don't think the ToH crew would keep quiet about that.
Hi TOH , I love the beautiful stair treads , I told my sister that she should take the carpet off her stairs & put a runner going down with brass rods on each tread , I love that look ! 👍😊
That's you, not your sister
My stairs have open risers (none). Thanks for the video. Now I kind of know what I'm in for.
Would you not test for air leaks in connections behind the Stove?
I'm sure they did but just didn't show it.
Yes , it's a must , since its inside the house .
I would hope he performed a gas tightness test with a manometer at the meter before finishing the job, but maybe that's not something they do in the states.
I noticed that Richard didn't slather on the pipe dope like a lot of "plumbers" do. Definite professionally done work !!!!
like a rock lack Teflon tape must not be a nc man he’d fail all day
Yeah but he could have left the dope off the first couple threads so not to clog the jets. No need for Teflon tape And dope. Both are lubricants needed for the tapered threads to bottom out and make the seal.
He also didn't bother to clean off the old pipe dope, he uses pipe wrenches on flat/smooth hex fittings, and he doesn't know how to properly adjust an adjustable wrench (shutting off the main gas valve).
Yeah, "professional" alright, if you're a butcher.
Love the show ❤
Just why did you reuse that awful plug valve?
Don't worry, he's a "professional"😂
Did stove shot off valve get put in?
I want Tom to be my math teacher.
wheres roger?
He's been sick for a while.
Why did you not replace the shutoff behind the stove with a ball valve? Those old plug valves leak, and where I live, they are no longer code compliant!
@Dave Paulison, ball valve for water lines.
Don't know why Richard decided to reuse that old shut-off valve. Maybe he didn't bring a replacement? [which is weird, as there's probably a couple of plumbers/helpers on these filming locations--certainly a plumber licensed for that jurisdiction]
Anyone know where to get an equivalent gas pipe holder that Richard has?
Silky_ I think what you are referring to is a nipple caddy.
@@zoogler19 Yep. Probably get them at a big box store, but probably special order (that's just for the caddy/tray--no nipples are included). Otherwise, at a plumbing supply house (probably in stock there), or online.
If the pipe allmost made it why not use a 90 degree elbow and you would have enough room to fit the stove
265chevy big brain moment
It may notch the wall as there may not be enough space to turn elbow to tighten it.
you need access to the shutoff and it may obstrct access too much for thier liking
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Wouldn't it have been easier to sand the varnish off those treads and refinish them? Stairs squeak - it ain't the end of the world.
@dalesworld, lose treads is a safety hazard though.
@@kalijasin No one said they were loose. And the crack is not a crack in a tread, it's a slight gap between two separate pieces of wood.
@@dalesworld1308 I agree with you on this one. Why do all that work replacing the steps when you can just refinish them to a lighter color to match the others ?. And maybe repair just that one step. Then seal the gaps to help stop the squeaks.
Another repeat video!
Love the videos I’ll keep following but just to throw it out there putting a 90 three-quarter would solve the problem 🤷🏻♂️ i’m just saying 👍👍up
He should have just replaced all the treads and risers...stairs are the showcase of a home
why do you upload episodes that you already posted video.. why would we watch it again
First
I'm not gonna use pipe wrenches on gas connections.
Why is that? Are they not pipes
Yeah i cringed a little on that too. If its got flats on it generally you use a wrench with flat jaws as to not marr the fitting or nut. Pipe wrenches have teeth on the jaws to bite into a raw pipe that has no flats for a wrench. But ol school plumbers use pipe wrenches or slip joint pliers on everything . And yes i would have leak tested that flex line fitting also even though it was a flare type connection. A connection is a connection no matter what type it is , can't be to safe when it comes to gas.
@@mitchdenner9743 but but, he's a "professional"
typical american houses electrical cables everywhere and why not cleaning under de steps now they are open
mr baby face no experience at all, so why is he always there?
