      @Lonelaw OnePunchOnion it seems like it's harder and harder to find genuine people nowadays. I know everyone says this but especially the younger generations I've been yelled at tell me why I should not respect my elders or anybody for that matter by my own generation. I just don't understand what and where it went wrong people don't respect people anymore and it's really sad. Like the other day my wife put a post on Facebook to for someone with a truck to haul 3 things off for us. We were gonna pay them you know and everything we aren't assholes but this guy came out there and said oh it's gonna be 200 bucks to haul it off. I was like wtf you wanna charge that much for 3 things and you literally live 5 mins away from me and the dump is maybe 10 mins away? It was a small children's dresser a recliner and a king size mattress (just the mattress mind you not the box springs just the freaking mattress). My wife told him she'll put it on her car and take it before she pays somebody $200 for maybe 30 mins of their time total for something as easy as that. He said he would have to leave and get a trailer (I wasn't there at that time) he tried to tell her he needed a full truck and trailer for those 3 things like what kinda truck do you have? A Subaru brat? People kept commenting and saying like 100 150 and stuff and finally this guy messaged her and said he would do it for free. He said what happened to people being neighborly anymore? People helping people fist to help doesn't happen anymore they always ask what's in it for me first. She even tried to throw him a 20 or just put the gas back in his truck and he wouldn't let her do it.

    The pipe liner shown with the hole saw holes and cracks gets inflated into the pipe, then pressurized with air to expand it to the inside of the pipe then cured with resin and steam. Pretty cool process. Hope that helps you. We did a lot of that years ago to fix underground commercial swimming pool pipes.

    So, just a random here from RUclips recommended; but my dad was a plumber for like 15 years. I remember he used to always show me pictures (some small company thing they documented everything they did) of some of the more “interesting” (his words) stuff he’s worked on. Barbie heads in toilet drains, clogged P-traps, chocolate milk flowing out of drain clean outs. Now he tends to help out plumbers when they come take care of stuff that’s a bit big for him, or he doesn’t feel like doing it. The local plumbing company gave him like a 100$ labor discount for helping the guys replace the main line under the yard and add a clean out. Anyhow, Love the video, and I plan to send this to him he will love it.

    Look up “Trenchless Pipelining” for that sewer line “fix”. The inserted line ends up getting inflated and then hardens. I believe it is a fiberglass type liner that gets inverted into the pipe. Requires special equipment

    • @Bodi2000
      @Bodi2000 4 года назад +3

      The liner gets inserted then pressurized somewhat with very hot water, that hardens the liner. It seals some pretty decent sized holes. After hardening a robot thing is run through the pipe, camera finds the circular bulges where lines connect, and a saw cuts a port there.

    My favorite plumbing story is the contractors who mentored my brother and the building business once used gutter downspout for a drainage line from a door well drain. Just imagine the trouble those homeowners were destined for.
    In my own home, the biggest mystery is why it takes 3 gallons of water to get hot water in my shower when there is only 3 quarts of volume in the pipe from the heater to the showerhead . I crawled all through the attic, looking for some sort of crossed line, but never did figure it out 😢

      I'm Hvac and think we overcharge too, but there's a good reason. I did installs and they're pretty cruel to the body. 130°F in an attic for 6 hrs can kill you if your not prepared, but the servicing side can be a little on the finessing side. Here in Phoenix, anyone will pay whatever amount to get their A/c to work when its 115°f daily.

      Also here in Miami these are mostly water source heat pumps in an AC closet above the water heater. Install takes about 4 hours (removal and disposal of old unit) I pay $400-$500 to my techs for this.
