Appreciate the non-corporate talk non-professional talk, you're just bein real.

My cousin didn't pop out the cork for the dishwasher inlet and thought the dishwasher broke so he bought a new one.... Still had the same problem until we found this video! Hats off to you brother man!
Oh my gosh he bought a brand new dishwasher. What do you do with the other one? Dang that’s a crazy story. Well I’m glad that we could figure out his problem. Thanks for watching.
Thank you thank you thank you! Great simple video!!! This wife here was able to replace the garbage disposal easy peasy thanks to you! Also loved the real life banter between husband and wife! If my husband were the handy man I’d be telling him “we have rags for that kinda stuff too” But since I’m the handywoman I know which rags to use, lol
Thanks glad that you liked the video she’s the boss of me as you can say thanks for watching
I would like to thank you for showing how to put this garbage disposal on. I was truly nervous about doing it. But I thank God for being able to find your video. I just went step by step on how you put it in. I want to thank you so much!!! God bless you and your family!! Awesome job on the video!!
Excellent glad I could help do it yourself and save money happy holidays
That plug info is golden. My dishwasher was backing up.
Glad it helped Enjoy your new garbage disposal. Thanks for watching.
I followed the exact same steps and it worked. Yaay, I have saved $200 today.
Excellent save that money do it yourself it’s really not that hard once you figure it out thanks for watching
Hey Tom, I just bought a garbage disposal today and searched on the internet to find a video on how to install a badger disposal. Your video was the first one that popped up. I recognized the voice and when I saw the tie-dye shirt I knew it was you. The video was helpful and entertaining. It's been a while.
How’s it going? We shut the dojo down with Covid so I’m not teaching there anymore. I hope you’re doing well. Great to hear from you.
Hey, I'm sorry to hear the dojo closed down, good memories. I still live in the area. I had to stop training due to bone to bone in the knees. I see headquarters is still there. Looks like your doing well. Nice hearing from you!
Dude.......life's to short!!! Soul sucking residual individuals don't deserve a good man! Great video, love the true comments, hang in, stand your ground brah. Fixing to put in my bagger in, your video was very helpful...take, og da boss!!
Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your install. Also, thank you for watching.
i just installed one and the water from the dishwasher was not going through. i was wondering what is going on??? thanks to your video (and to your wife) i think i found the reason... really appreciated your video!!!
That’s great to hear. Glad you got it installed right and thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. I needed to replace my Badger 15ss and this video definitely helped me by showing me what to expect and keeping my frustration to a 1 on a scale of 1-10.
One thing that might help some of us older folks or not so strong folks is to get something to put under the disposal to help take the old one off and the new one on. I used some 2x4's stacked up to just about 1/2" under the disposal. That way when it came off, I could easily set it down that far and more importantly I rested the new disposal on the 2x4's to line it up and only had to lift it that small distance. For me, that made a big difference from the last time I installed one.
Excellent tips these things are a little bit. Heavy and awkward especially underneath the sink. Good luck on your install. Thanks for watching.
simply the best and most entertaining how to video i've ever seen. Thanks Tom!
Thanks and thanks for watching
The back and forth with the wife was my favorite part hahahaha
That’s about how every project goes
I’ve watched your video from about 12:00 on and laughed my butt off. It couldn’t be a more typical husband/wife project. Thanks so much for the laughs. I needed it. Take care.
thanks
This was very informative and entertaining specially when you were going back and forth with your wife.
That’s my life every day thanks for watching
Well Sir, you made me laugh and intructed me. Humor in a marriage is a blessing.......I know I use it , A LOT......Thanks.
We try to keep it funny here at the old Casa thanks for watching good luck with your install
Thanks for the video, but just to let you know, the terms clockwise and counterclockwise are always relative to the threads they connect to, so you actually turn the ring clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. Just being nitpicky! But the basic idea of how to remove and install the disposal came through loud and clear! Great job! Thanks!
Excellent tips thank you and thanks for watching
Thanks - it took me less than an hour to swap my leaky 500 with a new 500 I brought at Home Depot. I flipped the switch in my fuse box to lessen any chance of electrocution and unscrewed the 90 deg pipe from the old unit
Glad to hear it do it yourself save money thanks for watching
Also, good tip
Thanks for showing how to knock out that plastic tab in the dishwasher discharge. I missed that in my original installation and was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my dishwasher was failing to drain, was about to dismantle my dishwasher! 😂
You are welcome! 🙏 good job on installing and thanks for watching
Thank you for the video. Towards the end, when you were putting power back in, it made some noise and then you decided to hook something else in the wall.
As to your wife, I hear you man. Life with or without them is hell.
Happy wife, happy life
Great demo. Doesn't get more real than the misses chiming in mid project to throw off your mojo 😂. "Soul sucking" got me good 🤣🍻
Thanks I appreciate that. Good luck on your install. Happy wife happy life. Thanks for watching.
After I installed my new disposal it started to leak because the first thing I did was throw out the instructions. I initially thought it might be the air gap tube or hose, but my wife said "the only thing you changed was the disposal so it must be that". Sure enough it was plugged and I thought WTF and then found your video! Thanks!
Glad I could help and glad that you got your garbage disposal fixed thanks for watching
Fantastic, really a great how to take off and replace with a new one. At about the 12:30 minute mark and on is worth the price of addmission.
Thanks I appreciate that and thanks for watching
"It's a constant vigil... a spiritual process....." INDEED! Thank you for the tutorial, I got 'er done! You rock. Watch until the end folks! 😂
Thanks I appreciate that good luck on your projects and have fun while you’re doing them thank you for watching
@@TomLeeman hahahaha thank you Tom for the video. It actually not only help me fix my stuff but also give me a good laugh. I have to go thru the spiritual process everyday too sir!!
@@rickle6679 that is every project I’ll be doing it and then I’ll get my constructive criticism as I’m trying to fix stuff
My sister's garbage disposal's blade is locked up. Badger 500-2. Not sure how old it is. Might as well change it. Glad I found your channel the ending was sooooo entertaining. lol. Thank you for the video, I'll change it out tomorrow w a new one! You rock!
Good luck it’s not too hard you can do it have fun and thanks for watching
It was easy. I kept the black L shaped tube in place just changed out the badger itself. Added a new Oring. Bolted up quickly! This thing must have been the original since it was hard wired in.
Thanks again!!!!
That’s an old screwdriver. We had those in the house when I was a kid, like 40 years ago. Thx for the video, very helpful!
You bet!
13:59 is when the video gets real! Lol thank you for sharing this video! Happy wife happy life!
You can say that again thanks for watching
Loved it! Real video, no paid actors! Hahahah
By far the best video I saw. Thank you so much. The rest of the videos from other people are useless
Thanks I appreciate that and thank you very much for watching
Yep that was a blast from the past. I hope you’re doing good and as your son is a man now I would imagine happy new year.
You’re fricking awesome man! My wife and I loved your video. It’s a spiritual thing dude.
thanks!
Love the banter going on!!!! Had me bagging up
Welcome to my life that’s every day
You the man I love the real family interaction 😃
That’s how it goes with every project
The gold at the end of this video! Thank you for both.
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a happy new year and good luck on your install
I’m doing this tomorrow. Thanks for the upload.
And you are my f’ing hero my friend. 😂😂😂😂😂. The damn dishrags!!!!
Thanks you can do it it’s pretty easy really that’s how far is crawling under the sink good luck thanks for watching
Most entertaining "how-to" video EVER!!! And, as a bonus, was pretty functional too!
Thanks and good luck on your install
@@TomLeeman 20 minutes and done, thanks in part to you!
Thank you for the help, don’t you just love being married?, I do too. You had me dying at the end while I’m trying to learn 😂😂
Where is haul the things that we do around the house go? It’s hilarious. Thanks for watching.
This was a great video!!! I feel like I can do this myself and save $600 instead of using a plumber!! Thank you so much!!! You did a great job!!
Yeah garbage disposals are pretty easy to put in you can do it thanks for watching
Thank you for the video, I'm gonna go buy it now and replace the burnt one. I will also pray before the install so my wife doesn't get on my back,. It's probably more common than what you think. God bless bro, good job
Best of luck! That’s basically how every project goes at our house. Good luck on your install. Thanks for watching.
@@TomLeeman o got it done, wasn't that bad, works like a charm
@@tonnymarrufo123 excellent job
Let's just say, you saved a marriage tonight. Thanks!!!
Glad to hear it. Good luck on the install.
Dude you are such a dad!!! Excellent job !
Thanks I appreciate it we try to keep it fun thanks for watching
installed new garbage disposal today .. watch you video, followed your directions...SUCESSFUL Thank you,
Glad it helped
Great video, and thank you. You have a calm demeanor, remained in control despite the wife bugging the shit out of you. That was good stuff, so funny. Made me smile.
LOL thanks for watching
I love the bare feet; great work. Tom, I bet you work on your cars underneath an oak tree in flip flops! 😂
I did it! Thank you for the video. RUclips University is thee best!
Glad to hear it do it yourself save money thanks for watching
Loved the video worked perfect. Thanks for the entertainment with the wife, it could not have been scripted any better.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for your video. I never installed one and your video helped, especially with removing that plastic plug.
You're welcome!
Good instruction. You are smart enough to know when you need a rag or not. Geeeeezzzzzzzz!
Laugh out loud thanks for watching
Great directions Tom!! Now you should do a reality show with your family/ some funny stuff happening on this segment!! LOL
That is my life day in and day out you should’ve seen today’s project oh my gosh hey thanks for watching appreciate it
You are amazing!!! I had to watch this a few times but I just got it working... It's connected and no leaks!!
Thank you for your help
Glad to hear it it’s always cheaper when you do it yourself but a little nerve-racking if you’ve never done it before good job thanks for watching
Great video...thanks. Always a success when I don't injure or electrocute myself...and now good for another 10 years!
Glad to help
Today I’m going to replace the faucet under there, which is even harder not looking forward to it
This was so helpful I was able to replace our disposal and didn’t need my husband’s help.. 😊👍🏻
Good job and thanks for watching
Read about wire matching! When I did my own garbage disposal, the power cord had a system of ribbed wire for nuetral and smooth wire for hot, which matched the the nuetral white and hot black wires of the disposal. This was for my specific model and cable. Don't assume yours will be the same. Always read through your instillation instructions and check how wires should be connected.
Other than that I found this video fairly helpful for what to expect with an instillation.
Excellent tips good luck on your install
You are right. There is a mark on the electric cord for hot and neutral.
Ribbed wire in the cord goes to white, smooth to black, per the instructions that comes with the disposal
Thank you from a woman who needs pics and explanations. Did it by following along. The only thing I learned is the ribbed cord goes to the white and smooth to black
Thank you for watching
Thank you for the video. I really appreciate it. Your videos help me a lot .
Glad to hear that! Good luck on your install, and have a happy holiday
Awesome video and very thorough! This is how all diy videos should be. You covered everything. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Uhhh... You are running the electric cable through semi-sharp metal edges on the Badger? The Badger vibrates. Did you consider a 3/8 NM connector to prevent potential short circuit?
Excellent tip
Very nice step by step video. I had replaced garbage disposal recently and the default block valve was causing the issue.
Thanks again:)
You are welcome!
😂 love the real life happening in this video! Now I’m going to install mine 🎉
Good luck on your installation. Thanks for watching.
Great job Tom. Don’t let that wife get you down, brother!😂😊
That’s how every project goes. Thanks for watching.
Great video, made my replacement easy. Also hilarious at the end and worth the watch! Thanks Tom.
Thanks I appreciate that we try to keep it light make it funny if we can and sometimes it’s just funny because it’s funny thanks for watching
Thanks for your help, especially with the wiring. Great video.
Glad it helped
Great job,Tom!Looks alot easier than I was imagining.BTW,your wife and mine must have graduated from the same wife training school.Mine does the same things,too.
That is basically how every project goes thanks for watching and good luck on your install
@@TomLeeman Anytime,my friend!👍
Excellent video!!! Very informational and great household drama! Much Thanks😃☮
You are welcome thanks for watching
Great info. We all need to bite our tongues at times.
Yes we do
This video is priceless. I followed along as I replaced my disposal and you made it so easy for me. Thank you! I loved when your wife came in and bitched at you. 😆
Tom ,I can relate, my wife has ocd SO! It's a problem all the time here non stop, while I'm in the middle of any job, I'm being told about four other things that will arise but in due time, but it's bothering the shit out of her, but I let her spill it all and assure her it's going to get done, oh, Yeah! I have shop towels and that's what I better be using , same rules here too, But she's a helper too a good quality in her but some jobs like this one are just solo. Still awaiting the next question and here it comes & it never fails, how long is this one going to last. We've got away with the old one for 20 years at least so! We are in our Senior old far and old bat years, so I replied a life time. LoL. No shit. That's all she wanted to hear. Anyhow! Enjoyed the tutorial and had no problem following you on the replacement. Thanks! Brother, & best to ya both. God is LOVE.
Get out! It won't get better.
My wife has a penchant for dropping shot glasses in the disposal and also running the disposal for half a second with no water and calling it good. Trying to bring it up to her completely backfired. Instead of going to battle again, I’ve conceded to constantly replacing my garbage disposal in order to preserve what is left of peace in my life.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I just finished replacing my 2nd badger in 6 months and this video saved me a ton of cash on having to not hire a guy.
Also, any marriage counselor recommendations would be appreciated.
Lol happy wife happy life. Good luck on that install and thanks for watching.
If she won’t get therapy get some yourself, that’s what I do.
I've waited until my wife is out of town to replace my disposal.... thinking ahead.
Smart idea
so which was does your disposal spin when you turn it on? It's designed to spin clockwise...if it spins counterclockwise, you connected the power wires backwards...
What a great tip thank you for writing and thanks for watching. Good luck on your install.
I feel you about the "Nightmare" I really mean it. LOL!
Lol thanks for watching
My wife and just laughed and laughed. Thanks for the tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This dude surfs 100% 🤙
Thanks I appreciate it and surf’s up right now thanks for watching
Very well done. It helped me install mine. There was a gasket I need to install that came with the new unit to the trap. If nor you will get leaks.
Thanks and thanks for the tip
Yep, we had that issue, too, not realizing the gasket wasn't already in place in the new unit.
Oh boy typical supervisor in the background at the end.. 🙄
Thank you for sharing this.
You’re welcome good luck on your install
Hey thanks a lot for an excellent video. I was unsure of how to do one now I get it.
Glad I could help you can do it it’s not too hard thanks for watching
You need a strain relief on that hole where the wire feeds into the unit. It will keep the connections from getting pulled loose at the wire nuts and protect the cord from getting cut by the chassis. If not properly grounded, a cut cord touching the metal could electrify the sink and not trip the circuit breaker.
Thank you for that tip will have to do that immediately
that is good camera work in that tough spot under the sink@@TomLeeman
We all need to understand that women always complain that’s there genetics in use to it. Great tutorial.
Exactly!!
10 for 10 I just install a new 500 and yes it's shorter than the old one and yes I had a misalignment so I had to untighten and rotated it just like you showed how.
Excellent good luck on that install and thanks for watching
Thanks for the video, made the job much easier.
Glad to hear it it’s tough crawling under the sink thanks for watching
Dude , extra credit for the Reality Tube moments in the video, keep it real. I understand your plight.
Thanks thanks for watching
Thank you very much for your help. I just did mine on Sunday. It took me 45 minutes.
Your welcome. Great job!
Thanks a million for your video. You saved me a ton of cash
I know right a plumber would charge you like 300 bucks plus the cost of the disposal thanks for watching
I don't know how you can stand the peanut gallery in the background! The people that complain the most are the ones that do the least! Lol! Great tutorial Thanks
Exactly!
Leave it to the wifes to complain while we are working. Should of just had her do it. Lol. Great job by the way
Thanks I appreciate that
The best banter, this was so hilarious
Lol, thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Keep your chin up, Tom!
Thanks, will do!
love the husband/ wife reality! do more together ....
I tried to get her to do more stuff with me but she doesn’t like me on camera thanks for watching
I see shampoo, probably her hair and she's bit€hting at you. You're a Saint! I literally felt your wife breathing down my neck and you're doing all the work, she should be extremely grateful to have you. Thanks for the video, I'm tired of paying hundreds of dollars to my plumber for something like this!
Thanks good luck on your install and thanks for watching
Would you do the same thing just to put the gasket on or it won't work I should get a new one
A new one is always better and they are not that expensive
This video was perfect. Thanks my dude!
You’re welcome thanks for watching
Very useful video! Thanks. I was wondering about why it sounded weird when turned on? Was there a problem?
Probably just the audio works great
@@TomLeeman Thanks again.
My guess is you left the plastic dishwasher knockout tab in there instead of fishing it out. We had the same exact sound until we fished it out.
Thanks for the info. I got the same strange sound but no leaks.
Good luck on your install and thanks for watching
You explained it well but that threaded hole you pushed the cord wire thru needed a ROMEX connector. Don’t over tighten the connector on your cord when screwing the connector holding screws in.
Thanks for those tips. Sounds like you’ve done this once or twice and thank you for watching.
Thanks for the vid. lol, my peanut gallery did the same thing . I was ballin …..
Thanks for watching. This is kind of how every project goes at my house.
I don't know how you put up with her... ah ha ha hah hah ha. Hysterical.🤣
We try to keep it light and funny thanks for watching
Good video, but you forgot to mention the gasket that comes with the garbage disposal - in the bag with the tool and NOT already in the drain hole of the garbage disposal. We hooked up the new garbage disposal and give it a test run to find water leaking from the drain hole.
Excellent tip and notes thank you very much and thanks for watching
"soul sucking" , hahahahahahah! You handled it like a champ. Nice video man. Thanks.
thanks for watching
Awesome! This video made my day. Great info and a bit comedy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude your drain pipe from the disposal is blocking the dishwasher exit/entrance. The old one was cut down a bit. Should have cut it back a bit. Were those roots in the line?
Good tip
Sounds like my house for sure
I know I’m always getting instructions as I’m doing something and then I’ll find out what I did wrong
While I feel for this guy having such great help nearby I can't help but say, "Yo Dude, where did you learn to make electrical connections? Ya might want to use a screw in clamp for strain relief on that there power cord...."
Good job appreciate it
