A great video. Erin you put a lot of woman ashamed. Girl you are really a great mother, wife and all around working woman. Girl is there anything you can't do??? Love it. God bless y'all. In Jesus name.
Gotta love installing PEX instead of metal or PVC. Either soldering, gluing or sealing and screwing eleven million little pieces together to make up one run. Around here, we usually install double-walled PEX (normal PEX inside a second sheath), so if the PEX somehow bursts, it can only get out one of the ends and you can pull a new PEX pipe through the sheath without having to take half the house apart.
Happy music covers the hard fact that pushing pex for an entire house is physically very demanding work. But attention to detail and you'll have a great build, and no sweating copper. Turning a dream into reality. Wonderful! We don't need Trump to make America great. It always will be as long as there are folks like this. And there are many! Outstanding.
According to plumbing code, drain pipe has to be sloped a minimum of 1/4-inch per foot and a maximum of three inches per foot or vertical. A slope of less than 1/4-inch per foot will cause constant drain clogs and a slope of more than three inches will allow the water to drain without the solids.
NOT AN ISSUE .most couples would have already beaten or killed eachother by now.pretty amazing what they do as a team. Erin keeps right up with Josh and sometimes pulls ahead in the race to finish projects LOL. There definitely meant for eachother in a very good way.
Electricians are not weak. I love how you adapted with the Sawzall for the four inch hole, my dad always said, “do what you can with what you have where you are.” That’s what separates technicians from installers. You guys are the best, keep going!
Great Job Guys. I noticed the pex pipes are very close to the plywood floor in the loft. If you are going to nail a finish floor or anything be careful you don’t put a nail thru the pex pipes. Take some photos for future use. I’ve put a nail thru pex, didn’t leak until a week or two. You are really moving fast, very impressive‼️👍👍🔨. Stay Safe👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Josh you should ream DWV each time previous to glueing, reason is because barbs from sawing catch solids! I would come into sewer main whenever possible from the top with y's! Just my experience of 50 years of plumbing!
I'm glad to see a young couple build their dream home with their own two hands instead of buying a turn key home. As they get older they can say look what we built ourselves. Good work and nice home.
The beauty of the both of you, great skills and accomplishment, excellent post-production, and then add in that heart-warming music. Quite an emotional feast.
I remember when pex came out a couple of decades ago, the plumber I worked with was so paranoid of the joints not being tight enough. Oh also shark bites now those are fantastic...love you guys
Hello, nice job, how can not Josh be patient with such a pretty lady of heart ??? On the other hand I am not convinced that the decoration of the soil really pleases Josh ... I say that, I do not say anything ... Continue to feast with your videos full of kindness and tenderness. Kisses to all your little family!
I love watching you guys work together. Your project is great. I'm not a plumber but one thing I know is 3/4" pipe has more than twice the volume of water as 1/2" pipe. Every time you use one faucet you have to fill up that 3/4" pipe with hot water before it gets to the faucet. This means it's going to take more than twice as long for hot water to get to that faucet than if you used 1/2" pipe. Also, all that extra heated water is wasted. When I did my house I ran individual 1/2" pipes to a manifold at the water heater. I look forward to your next video.
Impressed so far with the skills and knowledge of how to do all these trade skills. Somebody was paying attention in class is all I got to say. It’s rare to find someone with the actual skills to preform all those tasks properly there’s a lot of people that can tell you how it’s suppose to be done but not many that can actually do the work Great Job.
Ребята Вы молодцы!!! Я из России в этом году тоже начинаю строить дом. Вы хороший пример для детей!!! Буду смотреть Ваш канал и радоваться вашим успехам. Спасибо большое за подробное видео.
I'm a master plumber in Maryland. My brother and I run our own contracting company. I felt your pain when you were frustrated with the pex for being so rigid. Been there many times. From a professional though, well done. Couldn't have done a better job myself. Looks great. And thanks for allowing my wife and I to follow you on your journey with these video's. You guys are inspiring.
Pex doesn't like air nailers or any nails, I was helping a friend move into a new house guys wife was hanging pictures between loads slipped on water on floor ooops, Pex was nailed. Had to bust wall open and repair. Try and keep Pex in the middle of stud wall
I started off thinking ..yay..., another cheezy video with a long intro,,but then .... damn, fairly short intro and excellent info you two,....thank you for keeping it on point ..getting to the point and showing the details for the rest of us that haven’t tackled the project yet. I subscribed (rare for me)....
Pex is bendable however I like to imagine its copper. You use the flex to your advantage but when you drill your holes you want those as straight as possible. Makes things A LOT easier and looks way better. Everything should be nice and square
Nice job you two! I earned my Master Plumbers license 23 yrs ago. ( I remember when Pex was a brand new product.) In my humble opinion. You did this job Very Well! Congratulations! I applaud you both! I noticed you used lots of glue and primer. Smart! And the brass pex fittings were a wise choice too, as opposed to the black plastic. Plumbing that you use every day and take for granted is good plumbing. I think you'll have that.
I like the content and the good natured banter between ya'll. Nice to see a couple that works well together. I have to do our house 6 hours from where we currently live, so rarely my beautiful wife around. I like the redundant laser level ( measure off the level floor above) and Josh use that torpedo level in your electrical tool belt when glueing wyes and tees, makes joints plumb. Contrary to statement of draining that more is better; too much slope drains liquids fast and leaves the solids behind. Nice Work!
Accolades, only accolades. Humor is the highest form of humility, can't thank you enough. The two of you are frankly too much! I love watching the two of you accomplish the dream and document the process. Mate, partner, companion ... what a joy to observe with a front row seat. On a sidebar, having just burned up my first Milwaukee Sawzall after years of service. There are more often times than not that I think it should have been referred to as a "skill" saw. Josh is quite the Craftsman and you are quite the study. God bless you, your endeavors, and all of those you hold dear.
Great job! Hubby is watching you regularly and enjoys your working together and creativity. We've done contracting for years, mostly retired now. He's 71 years old. We've had to change out a couple of shower risers from 1/2" to 3/4" after the homeowners found out their shower dripped. The inside diameter of PEX is smaller than the inside of copper and seems to cause the problem with some shower valves. Great job raising animals and kids and teaching the kids your skills. You seem to be very intelligent and have a great relationship.
Just think how strong you two are. No one dare mess you you two. Anyway your house is coming along great. Can't wait to see finished product. God Bless
This is what the family called mutual cooperation between husband and wife helping each other. family is the most important! i like your video good luck and god bless you 👍👍
So glad progress is continuing, I'd have no idea what to do with plumbing underneath. I can handle most things inside the house, but not under. Thank you for showing your skills. It helps me understand what goes on under the floor.
Here in Italy we use multilayer loading pipes, but I think that even those that you are using are good, maybe for that of hot water, it would be better to use an insulated pipe, to avoid heat loss, but you are always a good team. Thank you for sharing your videos, and greetings from Venezia.
Awesome couple, working together on your own home. You have a great man, young lady. We also love couples like you, building their home together: Life Uncontained, and Odd Life Crafting. You guys all rock!
Those 2 on life uncontained are not as good as these two but I watch both. I think containers aren't anywhere near as good as people think, steel is hard to work with
You can tell that you guys really love each other . Josh ( you have one beautiful helper ) how can you work under those conditions ? You guys are doing a fantastic job on the house .Thanks for the videos .
I spent 12 hours at work moving 500 or so pallets of CP&F Fittings around a warehouse with a forklift and then as soon as I get home I spent 21 minutes watching you 2 install them ....I enjoyed the 21 minutes watching you guys a whole lot more. The house is looking good thanks for posting all of the videos of your journey it has been interesting and entertaining watching.
A friend of mine help me put a bathroom in downstairs of the house that I use to own. He told me that pex was the only way. So that is what he helped me to do and boy was I thankful. Another awesome episode!!! I have noticed that the weather seems to be holding its best for you guys especially during these last couple months, I pray it works with you more. Stay Warm!
Amazinger and amazinger!! You guys are poster-folks for DIY making and its an absolute pleasure to watch you (as a family) meeting the challenges of making your home from the ground up!!
How long have you been married? You two are a great example of a good marriage to your kid or kids and many others. I'm terminally ill and have been for a while. I've been married for 24 years now with a kid in med school and another who's 14. I wish I could do what you two are doing. You surely are blessed.
We have been married for 10years 😊 We are so sorry to hear about your illness! It sounds like you know the value of what matters in life between your wonderful marriage and kids!
Hey guys...an observation to share...there is absolutely no place in the entire State of Ohio where a rooftop of some sort is not visible from wherever you may be.....yet from your vantage point, all I see are mountains.....beautiful spot...you have chosen well.....
Gee guys, once you have the modernizations of plumbing and electricity you may have to change your channel name to Wild and Wonderful Homestead. Its looking good of course and you guys make one hell of a team. Have a great weekend, Carl and Dawn Homestead
@soaringtractor when you flush they get plenty. At least keep the washing machine and bath water out. It will save you a ton of trouble down the road. I've had many septic systems over the years.
soaringtractor James Couch is right on this one. There is plenty of water flushing -and running the gray water (shower/sinks/washer) into the septic fills the bio tank too quick for the bacteria to breakdown solids plus bleach from the wash and other household cleaners will hinder bacteria growth. Bacteria in a septic system is your friend.
Oh what a beautiful wonderland of snow, bet you wish it had held off a while longer. Another terrific video. Your kids are Blessed to have the two of you for their parents! Try to stay warm and dry.

That's what I was about to say. An eighth per ten feet is basically level. 2.5" per ten feet for the win!
Yall have it goin on,it's nice to see man and wife workin together,God is good!
One major issue I have noticed with your house build is...you two are having way to much fun!!! Lol you guys are doing an amazing job.
NOT AN ISSUE .most couples would have already beaten or killed eachother by now.pretty amazing what they do as a team. Erin keeps right up with Josh and sometimes pulls ahead in the race to finish projects LOL.
There definitely meant for eachother in a very good way.
Love this channel
Hi from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Yor are very lucky man, your wife is very cool and strong, not everybody has at his side a woman like your. Have a wonderfull life!!
Electricians are not weak. I love how you adapted with the Sawzall for the four inch hole, my dad always said, “do what you can with what you have where you are.” That’s what separates technicians from installers. You guys are the best, keep going!

I have so much respect for Erin. She's such an awesome partner!!
I like this idea. I don't have a Lazer but I've learned that you drop the waste pipe an inch every 4ft. You two did an excellent job on it .
Great video, we are getting ready to install Pex in our Tiny home as well!!! 😊
I always support you, I imagine how Pleasant it Will be to live with your family in the house they built with yours hands !! Wonderful family 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I remember when pex came out a couple of decades ago, the plumber I worked with was so paranoid of the joints not being tight enough. Oh also shark bites now those are fantastic...love you guys
you guys are awesome
Hello, nice job, how can not Josh be patient with such a pretty lady of heart ???
On the other hand I am not convinced that the decoration of the soil really pleases Josh ... I say that, I do not say anything ...
Continue to feast with your videos full of kindness and tenderness.
Kisses to all your little family!

When I did my house I ran individual 1/2" pipes to a manifold at the water heater. I look forward to your next video.
I did the same, ran all 1/2" and made 1 ring manifold for hot and another for cold
Beautifull place you are living at

Love love love the laughs! Above all LOVE EACH OTHER! You are doing it!! We love the outtakes as much as the content.
PEX seems like a miracle material. Fast, cheap, easy, eliminates elbows, resists ice damage, thus far reliable.
Pex doesn't like air nailers or any nails, I was helping a friend move into a new house guys wife was hanging pictures between loads slipped on water on floor ooops, Pex was nailed. Had to bust wall open and repair. Try and keep Pex in the middle of stud wall
PEX will outlive all of us. My 20 year old PEX is like new. I think it will last 1000 years.
I started off thinking ..yay..., another cheezy video with a long intro,,but then .... damn, fairly short intro and excellent info you two,....thank you for keeping it on point ..getting to the point and showing the details for the rest of us that haven’t tackled the project yet. I subscribed (rare for me)....
Pex is bendable however I like to imagine its copper. You use the flex to your advantage but when you drill your holes you want those as straight as possible. Makes things A LOT easier and looks way better. Everything should be nice and square
Nice build, cannot wait until next week.
A warm or hot day is always better for running PEX. It goes from PITA to wet noodle around 70-75F.
What a nice looking young happy couple!
Nice job you two! I earned my Master Plumbers license 23 yrs ago. ( I remember when Pex was a brand new product.) In my humble opinion. You did this job Very Well! Congratulations!

Did you hear her say 1/8 inch per 10ft fall on the drain lines? Isn't it 1/4" per 1 foot??
Two thumbs up 👍👍
Can’t wait for the next video

I've built several houses and you guys do very good and solid work.
Looking good. I really love the music tracks.
Beside every good man, is a good woman. You walk side by side in life. Not one behind the other.
How long have you been married? You two are a great example of a good marriage to your kid or kids and many others. I'm terminally ill and have been for a while.

You guys work so well together. You go Erin helping with the plumbing too!!! Awesome job you guys!!!
PEX sure does make plumbing easier. Great job on a big project. Keep up the good work.
Another great video, very informative
Вы большие молодцы ) У вас всё получится . Дом просто прелесть .
Hey guys...an observation to share...there is absolutely no place in the entire State of Ohio where a rooftop of some sort is not visible from wherever you may be.....yet from your vantage point, all I see are mountains.....beautiful spot...you have chosen well.....

Wow the view is awesome... love it...
Team work makes the dream work. Great job you two!👍
It just occurred to me, if the predicted economic crash comes, it will hardly affect you guys at all. You are making your own fate.
Very impressive 😀
watching this in 2021 and how true that is.
Great progress on the build! No need to buy expensive tools you only use once. The suggestion to keep your gray water out of the septic is a good one.
@soaringtractor when you flush they get plenty. At least keep the washing machine and bath water out. It will save you a ton of trouble down the road. I've had many septic systems over the years.

Y'all are great, love your channel. A wonderful example of pursuing your dreams so happy for y'all.
That's awesome doing cool projects like that as a couple.
Great team, willingness to face new challenges, what an expert install. Awesome
I just love you guys!! Please, don't ever stop making video's. I will ALWAYS watch!!!
Great job guys God bless
you two make a great team.
Must be tough Josh watching her do all the work. But I guess somebody has to be in charge, right. Great video again looking forward to the next.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
Love the out takes, jumping kids. That's life and one of the why we are doing this.!
You are a kind of team! Good job guys! Looks like your living quarters Josh, giving you a lot of "freedom"!
Excellent work, Y'all! I wish pex would've been invented when MY house was built, all that copper pipe & labor put a big hole in my budget!
Great video thanks
Good job you two work great together
What an awesome team! Y'all would have fun no matter what you're doing.
Oh what a beautiful wonderland of snow, bet you wish it had held off a while longer.
Another terrific video.
Your kids are Blessed to have the two of you for their parents!
Try to stay warm and dry.
Exactly what I was looking for! My place is on concrete piers as well and was looking for videos like this!
You guys are getting it done, looking great.
You guys are doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work.
Great video! Thanks
Josh is more intelligent than 99% of other men his age. A truly skilled and talented person. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a musician too!
Really like how your videos are put together. Well done!
Good job I’ll keep all yours videos to build my own thanks for sharing all your good experiences GOD BLESSED
Awesome video as always!!! Love it!!
You have a good man.you must be proud of him . I have learned a lot.by washing your video that you guys.
Always entertaining. I didn't see any clean outs in your drain line. Cheap and easy at this point.
Great job u guys
It looking great
