    The builder shouldn't have run the pipes outside. There is a make-do fix when spending thousands for plumbing isn't an option. Heating tape strips are used on farms. My grandmother's pipes were exposed in the crawlspace. They froze. I spent a day wrapping them in heating tape. Plugged them into a timer that turned them on in the evening and off the next morning. They are unplugged in the summer. $200 fix for parts and my grandmothers pipes never froze again. Our family sold the house 15 years later. We left instructions for the new owner. (This was a rural home and no code requirements) Heating tape protects pipes in barns, water tubs for cattle, in the garage. It works great on exposed pipes.

    We have an area in a secondary bedroom where the water comes into the house on an uninsulated outside wall and moves from there into the rest of the house. During bad winters a lamp pointed at the base saves us. The rooms on the front of the house are cold North East facing. I hear the people that built our neighborhood houses put the insulation and plastic vapor barrier in for the inspections and when the inspector left they pulled it out for the next house inspection next door. Someone used white medical tape as drywall tape in our garage (shaking my head at that one).

    When the bedrooms are on the second floor the laundry staff appreciates the laundry on the second floor.

    Love how he hates laundry on second floor. Obviously he's not the one hauling baskets of laundry up and down stairs and there is nothing more depressing than doing laundry in an unfinished utility room in the basement.

      I believe a soaked living room because your washing machine leaked in the 2nd floor is more depressing - and more expensive. And it's only dry laundry you have to haul and you have to stay there only for a few minutes. I lived in a house where the dryer was on the 2nd floor and the washing machine in the basement. Carrying the heavy wet laundry upstairs to dry it is a bigger problem than only move it a step to the side.

    Should have ran pex. No joints to fail and more reliable with cold exposure.

      These shows are years old, decades in some cases. Probable that this show was filmed before Pex was available.
      Holmes and his crew actually are pretty good at adopting new tech, new methods.

    • @seanthiar

      I don't how the fuses are done in Canada, but here in Germany you have fuses in the breaker panel and main fuses after the electric meter to secure the breaker panel. If a fuse in the breaker panel fails, the main fuse will cut the power.
      But he said he disconnected the cable in the breaker panel too and I guess he shortened them too. Seeing a shortened cable would need a stupid person to reconnect it to a breaker.

    • @princenaz23
      @princenaz23 7 часов назад

      I was wondering about this also. So just disconnecting the lines was not enough protection, he rigged them to trip the breaker if someone were to reconnect them and turn the breaker back on. I guess that when you're an electrician a better safe than sorry mentality is what keeps you alive

      LOL - Damon doesn't work for Mike anymore, this episode is 17 years old. Calling a group of working men "boys" goes back to the military days. "Let's go, boys!" Term of endearment, likely before your time. You'll have to look for social media outrage elsewhere.

      If it's done wrong it can cause the problems you try to avoid like mold and mildew and another problem is that once installed it is a pain in the butt to remove for repairs and it is not eco friendly. By now exist eco friendly and better insulation materials. You can use multi-foil insulation and for blow in cellulose cost only half of spray foam and has the same R value.
