You should always mark as position line in fittings before taking them apart to glue...that way it eliminates the guess work and angle mistakes. Good video and you're not afraid to say 'I was wrong!". Good job.
7:39 I suggest while still " dry-fitted, you mark the pipe at each joint. Then when you go to glue it all together, you have a good reference point for the joints.
Tristan, being a novice who wants to also build my own cabin, I have to tell you that your videos are probably the best I have watched so far! I very much appreciate the explanation and details you go into. Keep up the great work!
I think it’s common around here, Ontario, to lay a bed of sand for ease of leveling n also back fill with sand to about a few inches above the pipe as a flag for any future digging so you’re less likely to put a shovel through the pipe.
This was a perfect video for myself as a beginner--I needed the talking and have a whole paper if notes. My husband and I arw going to build a cob home, but first, will make a "water closet" to try our building skills. So, before work, I'm learning plumbing from your video--thank you so much!
One suggestion on digging holes...I use a tarp to pile the dirt so when re-filling it is easier to shift back into the hole. Im a beginner as well, love the work.
Tristan, codes differ, but PVC-DWV pipe should be used inside the cabin to gather drainage from your fixtures, and when your line leaves the cabin to run outside to the septic tank, transition to the gasketed 3034 green sewer pipe. Fall is minimum 1/4-inch per foot. Love the series!
I've done a lot of plumbing and I still fall back on choosing the pipe by way of examining the existing pipe, or even better having a piece of the existing pipe with me in the store to make sure that what I'm getting is going to fit.
Love this channel. I'll be doing the same thing next year. For the permit process, does a complete set of plans need to be submitted first before beginning construction,such as the septic tank?
Everything will be different depending on your city/county. I had to do the septic first with the health department then the building permit with the city. Typically you will need a set of plans to provide them.
I think I don’t, I HOPE I don’t. When I spoke to the septic system city inspector he pretty much told me that he only cares about the septic system, not the line feeding into it. Im hoping that the plumbing inspection won’t care about it either

Thanks a lot! It always means a lot to get comments like those as I put so much effort in those videos 😂
What size cabin were you looking to build ?

Makes sense !
Ya lucky Dog !
My property , I have to jackhammer all the trenches..
Schedule 40 all day baby!
For sure!

Very glad to hear that! Thanks
Thanks for sharing with other "beginners" ! it will save us time and maybe money !
You are welcome!

Thanks! That’s a great tip, I have seen pros do that, a good way to keep it tidy too.

Indeed I wasn’t aware, as you can see in the video, the professional septic installer did use pvc dwv to connect to the septic tank he installed.

Yeah I wished I had dug up the pipe first to check it before buying the wrong kind 😐
Thank you for the series!
You’re welcome! Glad you’re enjoying it.
Love your channel. Your very informative.This is greatly going to help me, and my project. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! What are you planning on building ?
My property line is next to Conservation land and I’m planning on building a cabin. Hopefully off grid.
I agree. You explain things very well. I'm planning to build a cabin in Missouri.
The green version is works fine, is thinner walled and costs less than DWV. It's called SDR35 sewer pipe. It lasts a long time.
Insteresting! I was so confused by all the options but at the end, because the septic installer had used DWV, I had no choice
ALWAYS....DWV schedule 40!!!
BTW....DWV stands for Drain, Waste, Vent
I know now

I'm guessing you don't have to have your sewer lines inspected before you bury them here we can't backfill anything unless it's inspected
I think I don’t, I HOPE I don’t. When I spoke to the septic system city inspector he pretty much told me that he only cares about the septic system, not the line feeding into it.
Im hoping that the plumbing inspection won’t care about it either
Weird the installer didn’t cap the line🤔
Why not a 45 degree for cleanout access instead of a harder to navigagte 90?
I guess that’s all I could think about at the moment
That's alot of primer lol
😂
Too much talking stuff
😅
I disagree- he’s helping beginners so it’s good 👌
