I started doing maintenance a little over a month ago and really appreciate your videos. I hope you're doing well good sir and hope you continue to create content
Man i hate it when the time comes to have to saw a sink apart because you've exhausted all other options, I've been their, with that and a garbage disposal!!
I learned the saw'zall trick about 20 years ago at my first apt maintenance gig. Property was 50 years old and it was almost 100 percent necessary to remove the kitchen faucets by cutting them out. I don't run into this issue that much anymore but don't hesitate a bit if I can't get it loose within a few minutes :)
Just found this channel and want to ask a question: I live in an apartment that has a main lug panel (no main breaker in the panel). There is also no breaker to cut the power between the panel and the meter. It is not a split bus panel; so, to cut power to the apartment would require flipping 16 different breakers. In addition, the breaker box lists that it was made by “I-T-E circuit breaker company, Walker division”. On doing some research, this was the name I-T-E used after about 1955 (when they took over Walker electrical company) but before 1968 (when they merged with Imperial-Eastman and changed the name to I-T-E Imperial). This means that today in 2023, the panel box is anywhere from 54 to 67 years old. I have spoken with the manager about the panel and they insist that I don’t know what I am talking about. They say the panel has to have a main disconnect and can’t be as old as I am saying. However, they won’t even send the maintenance man to look at the panel, let alone an electrician. Should I be concerned?
I would love to think that someone up there is calculating all of that - but in my company and every one I’ve worked for I his isn’t the case. We can’t even get techs and supervisors to close out work orders when they finish the work, let alone put in the correct times
No harm no foul in making mistakes. Glad you kept the camera rolling through the rest of the repair.
Thanks, it’s hard to keep filming when getting frustrated, I know we all have struggles time to time

Thanks for watching Matthew!
I would put Teflon tape on the mixing valve regardless if it needed it or not, I was always told Teflon is cheaper than a leak

I always use good pipe dope on any of those fittings, works out better in the long run.
Good idea will do that in the future 👍

Hey, I would be concerned enough to noisy this on an electricians page and get some input from the pros this is out of my pay grade 👍
4:29 I used to individually time and log each item that way corporate knew exactly what I needed to do for each section of the work order

Great vid. Pipe dope on the threads to help seal and lubricant
