Perfect promotional video on why you should not buy the Ryobi portable Bandsaw...
You should not buy Ryobi anything.
@@deviceunseen Their lights are good.
When making a hole bigger, attach the same size holesaw as the current hole inside the bigger one, then it will be your pilot bit.
Or just use a scrap piece of wood/plywood mark where the hole is screw on top then use your holesaw like normal
came here to say this
That works. You can also do what he eventually figured out. Just go at a slight angle so the teeth can grab and then slowly straighten it out and slowly the whole thing will have good contact.
F'kn genius dude
A portaband is not a demo tool. That's why the blade keeps popping off. Use a Sawzall for that. A portaband is for making precision cuts.
Pulling all that PEX through your floor joists seems like A LOT of work. I ran PEX in my crawlspace and just attached the lines to the bottom of the floor joist with a clip instead of drilling all those holes to make it easier.
I usually drill holes that are 2 sizes bigger than the pipe, example for a 3/4 pipe I would drill 1 1/8 hole and strap it with Mickey Mouse Style Strap Hanger every 4 ft.
''Why is there a vacuum cleaner down here!?" 2 million spider webs that could easily be cleaned up with said vacuum....
You NEED to do something with that basement floor. Giant dust bowl! Even if you frame walls around the furnace and hot water tank to keep the giant wall of dust out.
I've seen people just securing tarp or some plastic covering over those mounds to the walls and laying some sort of flooring to deal with the problem.
@@CC1984_that's the ground from being dug out lol
here’s a list of things you got wrong.
1. washer stand pipe is too short
2. washer waterlines hot should be on left NOT right
3. washer stand pipe has to be hard pipes cannot use a union p trap for it
4. HOT IS ON THE LEFT ALWAYS
5.shouldn’t have drilled the holes thru the joists so tight, no room for expansion
6. The avv has to be above flood level rim
7. most of your sharkbite pex fittings arnt even inserted all the way
8. your fridge supply runs thru a outside wall
point being you called the previous
plumbing cowboy yet you are a cowboy doing some more cowboy plumbing.
Gonna be interesting to see what the inspector says about the plumbing. He thought the electrical guy was harsh for making him put in the required amount of outlets.
People should leave stuff that they don't know about, to the pro's.
Or at least consult with one before you do it.
I just wonder how many problems future homeowners would have to have repaired?
29:26 Using shotgunning a beer as a comparison for the need for a vent tube was ABSOLUTELY perfect. It all came together for me once you said that!!
I'm beginning to wonder why not just do all the demo first, pull out all that crap you're planning on replacing or getting rid of at once and get it all out of the way?
even though he is doing remodeling he is also trying to make content at the same time so to demo the entire house and then go back and turn all of the footage into a video would be a nightmare. this often is how remodels are done as well. its just an easy way for the contractors to keep track of where in the remodel they are at by doing one project at a time. hope this helps
Seems like it would be easier if you cleaned out the basement first before working in it.
A little clean up would've went a long way. Cleaning up all those spider webs and random nails would be worth the time. At least throw down a moving blanket to cover up the dirt so you work without all the dust... probably has mouse droppings intermixed
I would have at least cleared spiderwebs. The first thing I did when clearing the basement at my house.
@@aab-el9bd what does having tattoo have to do with anything
Looks like ur doing a lot of work watching this video pal. How bout just enjoy peoples work instead of criticizing everything possible
@@bettheover
Indicates lack of intelligence and inability to delay gratification, tendency toward criminality. This is not my opinion, it's what the science shows.
We're assuming you left the spiderwebs and cobwebs for dramatic visual effect. A shop vac would have made short work of all that. 😉
Great progress. I’m a plumber and I can’t help but notice all you horizontal ABS lines have sanitary tees in order for proper flow they should be long sweeps for proper drainage
that basement needs a good cleaning from dust and web, if you are running anything with electricity down there the less dust you have the better :)
I learned the hard way. I used the same PEX. The problem with PEX B is that the connectors crimp inside the the PEX which actually reduces your flow even more, versus PEX A which maintains the same inner diameter..
Aren’t you gonna be bummed when you put the cabinets in and you are going to have to cut and couple that drain for the sink. The pex you capped for after install but all that drainage is going to be in the way
please for the love all things, clean the basement up. level it out and take the trash out. your just getting in your own way. love your channel !!!
So, you didn't put the ends on the hot/cold water into the kitchen so that you can slide the cabinets over them with a smaller hole. But, then you installed the entire drain line for the sink. Are you going to have to cut that out when you put the cabinets in?
My exact thought! :) also that horizontal drain should be at an incline down so the water can run down towardsthe drain, it might be doing that now but I dont know. I have not seen him using a level during this entire video so I have no idea if he has checked that any horizontal drain is inclined to som degree down. i think its like 1-3% inclination.
He said he’s contemplating putting a box over all of it. We will see next episode.
Thank you for posting, I am 20 and just bought my first house and rental. These videos help me so much when I do renovations. Thank you for the continuous encouragement to just try things!
Id be using a shopvac with a filter to get all that webbing and dust down
General question: would it be wise to remove all dirt from the basement/crawl space so there more room for storage and utilization?
For drilling holes for power or water lines try using an impact wrench with a 1/4 hex adapter. Way more torque, much faster.
I LOVE this content! I flipped houses with my husband years back, and I am noticed differences between men and women on the job site. The man or woman is confronted with massive spider-web network in the basement. The woman: grabs a leaf-blower and a broom and takes 20 minutes to tidy up the joint so she doesn't have to deal with spider webs. The man: sucks it up and spend the exact same 20 minutes spitting spider webs out of his mouth, clearing them from his safety glasses, scraping them off his clothes. 🤣 As I watched you threaten to burn the house down if you came across a black widow, I decided it is not me vs my husband thing; it's a universal man vs woman thing. Your videos are a nostalgic treat for me - keep up the good work!
As a man, I would have used a shop vac and suck up all those spiderwebs. I'm not afraid of spiders. However, if I didn't clean first my wife wouldn't let me back in the house because she would've been afraid that a spider got a ride to a new home. Plus, she would have made me strip at the door. 🤣
No, only someone trying to add drama to a very simple job would not clean up that mess in the basement before starting this work.
@@maverick_trail 😆 You nailed it! I hadn't considered that it was a strategic decision for the drama potential.
@@morrisfamilyfunvideo 😆 Precisely! I am in 100% agreement with your wife, it really is a girl thing.
As a man, I would do it the woman's way then.
Shuldda kept the old water lines. You could use more iron in your diet 😂
Great progress! Quick comment about the water heater connection - I noticed you used the flexible conduit style coming out of the heater to connect with the rest of the line. I also did that because it was all I could find in a pinch around here but was told during a plumbing inspection that my state requires a rigid (non-flexible) connection. Just a heads up in case your state has requirements around that. Anyway, looking good!
Bring the long vent tube onto the roof, slide it through the roof hole, then go to the attic and feed it through the attic floor/bathroom ceiling hole, then feed it through the holes in the wood and feed it down to the connection. That's how I would have done it if you didn't want to cut it and glue sections together
That’s what I was thinking too
you should finish the basement in that house, that would be a cool video
Honest question, but why run all the pipe work through the joists? Could you not have fixed them to the underside of the joists with clips instead??
Correct and sloppy work at that. No bend supports and some of those fittings were not needed if he took the time to understand more about pex.
Best thing were to have a long attachment to a shop vac and clean up the basement before you have to work in there whether it be for the kitchen pipes, bathroom pipes or whatever, then you wouldn’t be complaining as much!
What is the story with that basement? That’s so damn much dirt down there.
If you need to cut a bigger hole into something that has a hole, use scrap piece of wood and cut a hole of the original size, put the disc cut in the bigger hole saw. Now the disk fits into the old hole and the pilot bit has something to guide your bigger hole saw to cut the bigger hole.
Can I ask why you had to pull the water lines through holes in your floor joists and not just attached to the bottom of the floor joist? Seems like that's going to be a nightmare to insulate
Might be coding. Everywhere is a little different.
@@artieartya yeah that was what I was kind of thinking too, I hope I didn't come off as condescending it was a genuine question for him lol
You're working hard! 👏👏👏👏
A lot of things to do the plumbing right
Great videos of the entire process of renovation
I don’t know much about plumbing and not a whole lot about what you’re doing but it looks to me you’re doing a really great job! I love watching these videos because I learn a lot from them! Keep up the hard work!!!
install a tankless water heater. It's more compact and way more efficient.
When using a hole saw to make a bigger hole in an existing hole, it helps to make a hole the size of the existing small hole in some scrap, and start the pilot bit of the bigger hole saw in the wood puck and use the puck to align the hole and stabilize the hole saw as you come down
Is their a reason to keep the mound of dirt down there? Or just haven't removed it yet?
OMG! I love your glass half full positivity! Keep up all the great work. I love your channel.
28:58 I would bring the p-trap on the floor and extend your washer box a little bit higher but not under the crawl space, I think when you have 2 90s like what you had, might have problems in the long run especially this it for a washing machine
Hey bub you normally don't think of it but since the kitchen drain comes through floor your going to drop the cabinet down over drain / supply with holes so don't plumb to far
Why did you reinstall the "double P-trap" if you were criticizing it earlier? Honest question.
he’s not the smartest tool in the shed
Are you also going to clean out the basement further down the line? I couldn't even imagine working between all these cobwebs 😅
Great job it’s looking better and better can’t wait to see it finished
I've got the same bandsaw, the blade pop off is common but you have a little allen key on the saw for adjustment. Use that allen to tighten the guide wheel and it will help the pop off happen a lot less. Also when you get good with it you will be able to hear everytime it's about to bind and lock up before it actually does.
That galvanized piping was still good. I had this piping in my house and replaced it because the inside was coated with sediment and constricted water flow. However, your pipes appear to be in great condition.
Any time you get a chance to change out galvanized you should. Galvanized piping is just a leak asking to happen.
Great video as always, my first move would have been to bring a broom or something down there & knock down all those spiderwebs!
Glowing review of the Ryobi band saw 🤣... Recip is probably the best tool for that demo
Epic video and content. Awesome as usual!!
Bro your a beast!!! Enjoying each video. Keep up the great work. House is going to be amazing!!
take 5 min and vacuum the basement ceiling. would make your life alot easier lol.
The old rusty pipe make good cheap pipe clamps. Good job! Much ❤ !
Why did you put the P-trap in the basement? What you created is an S-trap that can potentially siphon all the water out of the P-trap portion an allowing sewer gases to to rise into your sink. It will be interesting to see if you pass the plumbing inspection.
I was looking for this comment before I commented
Is that a basement masquerading as a crawlspace or a crawlspace masquerading as a basement?
Lot of hard labour. Have so much respect for all the hardworking fathers. 🙌 God bless u all...!!
I didn’t know you have your own TV show. Just saw a commercial on Plex. Good for you.
It would be wise to do some work on the basement. Put up walls, lay down a proper floor and make it a nice spot, have proper crawlspace underneath the rest of the house, maybe have a cold room, a pantry etc...
@@CC1984_ Jimmy Hoffa?
Should use PEX-A not the PEX-B especially for those bigger 3/4" lines. It's soo much more flexible so you don't have to use the expensive fittings and extra potential failure points along the way.
You can drill the hole size you want into a scrap piece of wood and then hold/screw that piece of wood over the new location to keep the hole saw steady.
60 year old cable does not last very long.... some say it lasted 60 years.
I admire all of the hard work you are doing on this house. I myself would never attempt it. But you have to work smarter when you can. I can’t believe you ran the pex through holes in joists. That’s worse than trying to pull electrical wire through a house. They have clips to attach it to the bottom of joists. Virtually every house or remodel is done this way including mine. I can’t imagine it’s a code thing where you live.
I'm doing the same kind of reno by myself. It's a massive effort. Thanks for the vid.
Sometimes, it's hard to find motivation to continue. These videos really help a lot.
if you drill a "guide hole" in some scrap at the same distance from the edge as where you want it in what you are enlarging, it makes it much easier to open up a hole where the pilot doesn't have anything to grab... make things a little easier!
Next time if you need to cut a bigger hole out of an small hole. Take a piece of wood with a center hole and screw it over the hole. Voila! You have a guide to cut a bigger hole 🙂Also works on metal, i.e metal work on cars.
Just so you know you made the plumbing harder then it needed to be. There are products so that you can hang your water pipe to the joists so you didnt need to drill all those holes.
Yeh like all the brackets that where already ah lol . Thought this myself
Is it ok to put that water for that fridge that close to that outlet? Didn't look like a GFI but I couldn't tell. Just curious.
You should consider adding a sump pump and encapsulating that crawlspace i had too many problems with that this year.
Didn’t put the valves on the pex under the sink but you put the drain line together? Seems like that would make a lot bigger hole. Maybe I’m missing something?
i love watching the renos, i do wonder if it would be possible to make the basement into a finished basement?
😯
Will you spend days shoveling up all that dirt? And vacuuming the cobwebs?
I now KNOW why there's a vacuum in the basement ❣️
To clean up all the dust bunnies & cob webs
I’ve never seen a bandsaw blade come off so many times lol either that saws junk or you don’t have the tensioner to keep the blade in place turned.
Got a piece of scrap plywood, make a 2 inch hole out of it and then they’ll it to that hole and then drill do you have a guide?
Another larger hole trick. Use a scrap 2x4, drill the new size through it and lay it over the smaller hole to guide the new bit size in the old piece of wood.
Great video
Wen cutting a hole over an existing hole fasten a piece of scrap over the hole to create a key for the pilot drill. Love the videos.
I feel with this house you should adopt the motto of the Navy Seals "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday" lol
i gotta say, the first time i watch your video's i was like, to American for me with the interieur, but i am now a year + later and i am looking forward to your video's. from the Netherlands, love your channel.
Another successful job 🙌
Clearly not in the budget but you need a basement dig out
I agree
Considering how many Ryobi tools you have I was surprised to see that you didn't have one of Ryobi's 18v pex crimper tools. They have both the crimp ring press tool and the clamp ring tool version. Around the time last year I was in a crawl space under a house running some new pex lines and my forearms were shot from having to find so many creative ways to turn my body to get the leverage to squeeze the crimper tool on the rings. I'm a frugal DIYer and I'm not opposed to buying used tools at all. I managed to find a version of each Ryobi crimp/clamp tool used on eBay and in great shape for around $125 each. One was open box even! New they're around $230. Either way, used or new, they're soooo worth it if you're doing a lot of pex work!
Would almost have been worth it to vacuum down there first.
Your vent that goes to the roof needs to double in size the mount it go to your roof. Example 1 1/2 would have to be 3 inch existing your home. That a Canadien plumbing code. I’m pretty sure it’s similar to the us code of plumbing. Your mechanical vents need to be installed higher than your drainage of your vanity. That because if you have a blockage. You’ll see it from your sink. Also your washer mine box is installed way to low and you also need a vent for that drainage as well. Your rough should be at least 42 inch from the floor. Nice work overall. Plumbing is not an easy trade but you killed it my man 💪🧑🔧
lol we need a count for every time he says I’m gonna burn this house down. Feel like he has said it every video so far. 😂
I had a similar issue with a vent pipe. I drilled all the holes and then fed it down through the roof.
GET IN TOUCH
Pay some people a days worth of work to have them move all that dirt down there out of the basement make your life 100x easier.
I wonder how much cursing you did for just this video man lmfao you r savage for doing all this ur self! So much respect!! 💪
When making a hole bigger, drill a hole in a scrap piece of wood and use it as an exterior pilot instead of the missing interior pilot
Why in the world did you not just drill the holes a little bit bigger to make it easier to pull the PEX through the beams?
Why would you not just run the pex underneath the joists w/pex hangers… not like you’re going to put drywall on that basement ceiling right over a massive dirt pile. This is the definition of working harder not smarter.
Every time there's a new video, this guy never stop to amaze me. He has literally no idea what he is doing. He sometimes runs pipes through the floor joists and sometimes under them... Would've been 10x easier to just fix them to the uderside of the joists. Jesus Christ...
at least, it's entertaining
excellent soundtrack 😎
The washing machine drain should be 42" from the floor, in some jurisdictions to pass code.
I am impressed man! Plus whenever I reno a house I know for sure now that I am totally paying a plumber LUL
I'd have swept all those webs down before starting, lol!
Do the kit drain after the cabinet install not before in this case.
I must say I have never seen a house less then 50 yrs old with a dirt basement. Was born and raised in Western Maryland. Guess it all depends on where you are located. Good luck with the remodel.
Love the vids KEEP GOING SIR 💪🏿
You should start a Lowe’s trip tracker for your videos. I’d really be able to connect more knowing guys like you have to make 10 trips mid project back to Lowe’s 😂
I think I'd have drilled an 1 1/4 hole instead of a 1" hole. LOL Tip for making an existing hole larger with a hole saw, drill the larger hole in a scrap piece of lumber, screw it over the smaller hole and use the hole in the scrap piece to guide the hole saw down the smaller hole,
🇺🇲 Can't imagine a 2 and a half foot crawl space
🇬🇧 Pre-1950 - Can't imagine standing up in the crawl space
🇬🇧 Modern - Can't imagine having a crawl space
Top tip. If you a drilling a hole bigger then put the right size in with the bigger hole drill and it will keep it true
I loved the shot gunning a beer reference. Perfect way to explain a vent tube. Love the content and appreciate showing the mistakes that everyone makes.
Working on the same plumbing updates this weekend and this was great.
When you have a hole that you are making bigger with a hole saw, take a piece of luan and make a template to tack down and the saw won't walk.
