A plumber once told me he learned 3 main things throughout his career.
1. Water runs downhill
2. Never undervalue a change of clothes.
3. Never stick your fingers in your mouth😂
4. Paydays on Friday
Actually it's Poop runs downhill, colds on the right, hots on the left and don't chew your finger nails, LoL
@@leemitchell3020 I was gonna correct him but you beat me to it lol.
@@leemitchell3020 The way I always heard it was, Hot on the left, cold on the right and shit doesn't go uphill.
My grandpa that was a plumber always said crap runs down hill, dont chew your fingernails and payday is friday
I am so glad a viral video on how to use a 2x4 to jack up a garage door header found it's way to my recommend videos. This series is everything I hoped it would be and so much more.
EC is by far the best channel on RUclips.
Curt White well put
That same video is what hooked me
same here
Yeah, that's right. That was the first one of his vids I watched, and that was a couple years ago. It stuck with me.
Man! I was the same way! I needed one more, which was his circular saw how to video. I was hooked and have watched countless hours of his videos. Pros like these are goldmines for great info for the average Joe.
You don't pay a plumber to put fittings together or connect pipes. you pay em for the 15 or 20 years of experience and knowledge of the code they bring onto your site
Hope you don't end up paying more later. Knowledge can delay and mitigate catastrophe if not prevent it all together.
Luckily all the correct information is online and you can do it yourself, correctly, for pennies on the dollar...
@@FJB2020 Where I live you pay a licenced plumber to do a job so that you're covered by your insurance and their insurance. If you DIY and it causes damage to your property, the insurance company won't pay your damages. If you use a licenced plumber, the insurance company will pay your property damages and the plumber (or plumbing company) have to fix the plumbing problem free of charge.
For small jobs, like replacing one or two fittings, *possibly*, you can DIY it. For bigger jobs, licensed plumbers generally can do it faster and have the right parts and equipment to do the job. I'd recommend not to DIY anything to do with the wastewater system.
@@julesverneinoz Where I live, if you have more than 10 acres, you do not need to have a licensed anything and from what I have seen, the "pros" around here don't know how to pipe... I have always done my own work and will continue to do so as most plumbing is extremely easy...
@@FJB2020 Ah yes. The laws and requirements do differ. Home Insurance clauses generally will follow the most restrictive law or exclude the item from insurance coverage.
In my state (Vic, Australia) plumbing has to be done by a licensed plumber for insurance purposes (either home insurance or the plumber's). We don't have 'pros', they're either licenced and have insurance or they don't. It's mainly to cover yourself and any surrounding properties from the potential damage caused by the work done.
In terms of whether one actually uses a licensed plumber or DIY in RL, it all depends on confidence, the type of plumbing you're taking on (gas pipework is also a 'plumbing' stream where I am) and how much risk you're willing to take on.
There is really something special about this channel. It gets me in a relaxed state while learning at the same time.
This channel helps me on days when I’m having a lot of anxieties.
I'm a licensed plumber in Kentucky. It's interesting to see different ways of doing a job. When I started plumbing the guy teaching me told me "there are dozens of ways to plumb a house correctly, and thousands of ways to plumb a house wrong". And he was very much right.
Plumbing truly is an art. I enjoy watching a proficient artist (like the guy in this video) at work.
Plumbing is both an art and a science.
plumbing contractor so cal myself I can always nit pick but it looks good Ive been out of house plumbing awhile but plumbed many homes custom and tract. Its great to have a guy helping too cutting pipe and blocks big help Scott
I'm from Kentucky too. (About 30 minutes West of Louisville) I wanted to watch this video to learn the first part of installing my own septic system. I live in a house that was built in 1947 and all the clay pipes are busted that were put in 75 years ago. It's my parents house and they're too cheap to fix it right. Me and my spouse called the health department after dealing with raw sewage backing up in the yard for 10 years and begging them to fix the problem.(health inspector came out and agreed that there was a problem.) They paid a guy they know around $500 install a 20 foot section of pipe because they don't want to spent the $15K to do it right. (basically it was a dog and pony show) Somehow the guy that installed the pipe has connections because he paid the inspector off and our waste drain pipes still get clogged up after a big rain. I guess if you have a lot of money you can get away with about anything you want to.
Thanks for not having a ton of ads in the middle of your videos!
Lpc C I agree
Thank the 1500+ Patreons that contribute so you don't have to watch ads. :)
@@bradley3549 YES!!!!! Thank you to our supporters!!!!!
@@bradley3549 This is one of the very few channels on youtube that I think totally deserves it (and that you get the value back from).
Thank you! I could've watched and listened to your plumber for a couple hours. A real craftsman.
I agree, so much great information he has, and I love learning new things.
What he has to say about younger tradespeople overspecializing is all too true. It's all too easy to spend your entire apprenticeship in one thing; a carpenter that only does finish carpentry installs, or rough work forming, or perhaps a plumber doing new homes or commercial buildings, or an electrician that only has experience in an industrial setting. You get to be very good at a few things, but it doesn't make you a very well rounded tradesperson or craftsman.
Terrible job to say the least... This fella is NOT a plumbing craftsmen..
fred johnson care to elaborate on that a little more? What’s your credibility?
@@ryanthomas2472 Nah. Its is more that he knows what he is doing. When you have 20 years experience and can sling a saw as well as him you can do it the same way.
Its like the old saying, measure twice cut once. Well the pros don't do that, they eyeball it from across the room and cut the next three pieces. But that is terrible advice for someone who is just learning.
Your videos remind me of the grandfather I lost. Thank you for being who you are!
I like this plumber. "I've forgotten 90% of what I learned" lmao
I literally laughed out loud at that one! I feel his pain!
Its the glue speaking 🤣
I appreciate your plumber explaining why it needs to be at least 1/4 per foot. as a younger person people never explain why when teaching. It gets frustrating.
Code in Wisconsin is minimum 1/8 inch per foot for 3 inch pipe up to 8 inch. 1/4 inch ppf 2 inch and under. Too much pitch can be bad too because the water can leave solids behind. Especially with the newer water efficient fixtures. Larger size pipe is flatter so the water spreads out and fails to carry waste.
2 and a half years in the trades I have realized most tradesmen aren't teachers haha.
@@brandonknight4945 very true
You never want the tide to out run the boat.
Plumber, "Do as I say, not as I do"
Works in all trades.
A good trick (Me as a plumber here) use a hole saw that's the same diameter as the pipe and drill holes in the 2x4 or 2x6 every say 12 then 13" and then 14" center kind of like what he was doing at 3:19 but instead of cutting it you're using a hole saw then the pipe fits perfect into the wood and also stays strapped nicely
The plumber was by far the most interesting pal youve ever had here on the channel. I love him already!
Dusting and his concrete finish crew are also monsters check out those videos
The view from this house looks incredible! Such a beautiful area.
"Good enough for the girls I go out with".. spoken like a true plumber! :D
Lmao@ I'm a framer and use that shit!!!
@@mats852 Who doesn't know AvE. The man is writing a book on what not to say in an office.
"Looks good from my house "
Aaaaahh! My weekly dose of E.C. and the spec house... nice!
Hilarious when the Plumber says "good enough for the girls I go with". Great video!
Good enough for government work.
This is such a fantastic channel. This is what should be on TV.
This is what "This Old House" should really be...
That series should never be on TV. The executives of any TV channel would edit the living crap out of it and rip it's soul out, and then mix it with pointless product placement and advertising.
I've been plumbing residential and commercial for 19 years in California and I enjoyed Phil's plumbing work👌🏽. I was fortunate to learned from old school plumbers that were willing to share their knowledge and the small details that cut my learning curve immensely.
I always found the plumbers to be some of the easiest guys to get along with on site. It’s funny how the personalities of the different construction crafts generally seems to be consistent from job to job. You mentioned that Phil was a funny guy and this is definitely consistent with the plumbers I’ve met in my career. I always found that if I was in the mood for a laugh, I’d go sit with the plumbers at lunch time. Of all the trades, plumbers always seemed to be a group of good, fun loving guys. And somewhat prone to a few good natured practical jokes from time to time.
🤜🤛
Psid...
Your observations of plumbers reminds me of my dad... before his first drink after work. Then all bets were off.
I'm 4th generation construction. Dad first took me on the job when I was 4 yrs old. First tool I learned to use was the broom.
I definitely enjoyed this episode. I'm a 3rd generation plumber from here in Michigan. I've been plumbing since I was a child. I've generally been disappointed in plumbing aspects of renovation shows. They never seem to accurately depict real world plumbing. This episode really accurately captured what real-world, good plumbing looks like and how it functions. 👍 Another note, my dad has worn the exact same watch my entire life lol. Keep up the good work
Hey so I am a 25 year old guy who did some blacksmithing on some farrier equipment that the barn my gf's horses were at had. I havnt done any in 3 or 4 years because I dont have access to that equipment anymore but have been wanting to do it again.
Watched your hammer like a blacksmith video on Friday night, and googled to see if there was any groups in my area and happened to find one I didnt know about having a hammer in on Saturday that I went too. Turns out putting a hammer down for awhile didnt do much for my skills but man it felt good to smith again and for the first time in a coal forge.
Ive been watching your videos for several years, at least before the spec house was announced. I dont comment much, but you have definitly been getting better and better at making videos, both in shooting/ editing but also just being on screen. Thanks for doing all the different things you do on here. It really inspires me to make stuff. (as hard as that is in an apartment)
CutTimeBrony your a young man save your money work hard and learn all you can. Your turn will come and it will be a masterpiece.
As a DIYer, found your video very interesting, even though not planning to build my own home.
Just by watching it, picked up small but valuable info on plumbing protocols etc.
Thanks for your video n look forward to your next one.
That's great!
Just because you watch a video on plumbing doesn't make you a Plumber
So dont be a cheap ass buy once cry once
This is what RUclips was made for. What a great resource.
Phil and Mike are great - helped our family solve many problems over the years. Thanks for featuring them!
God... I love this channel... Even after being in the trades for over 25 years, I know I'm going to learn something every time you guys publish a video.... So I thank you for that...
My dad plumbed my house 35 years ago, before he passed, no problems yet. Good to have a plumber you can trust.
Can we get a Cy Swan style interview with Phil? That man is a treasure...I could listen to him for hours.
Scott, this plumber is tops. Please find ways to bring him back! 🤣
As a General contractor this is outstanding. Plumbers are a pain in the ass. Love the way you set the grade. I would do that for plumbers and they would still screw it up. Great job man. Love the suspenders too. My daughter hates mine.
I am gonna show this to all my subs and explain to these young-ins...this is how you DING AND DONG! Great Chemistry!
My very first job while still in high school was a second pair of hands for the city plumber. We only had one. I probably cut an threaded a mile or more of galvanized pipe and snaked out about the same in sewer pipe. Your friend Phill reminds me of my easy going plumber and brings back many wonderful memories, thank Phill for me for being apart of your video. I was amazed many many years later just how much I had learned that other people had no clue about.
Been a general contractor myself for over 42 years now. Just love your videos. Thank you
so much for making them. Very enjoyable. GOD BLESS!!!!!!!
Phil seems like such a great guy and has that calm confidence in his craft that makes all the difference.
I am not a plumber but have worked for the company of the PVC fittings you installed in this video for almost 20 years it is always interesting seeing where and how the different parts are used. Thanks for doing the videos of this build all of the videos so far have been educational and entertaining.
Hi, Great plumber, great video! I started plumbing as a little squirt, much like your plumber. I could run in a crawl space, bring the wrong fitting/tool, run back with the correct one, faster than Dad could crawl. I roughed in my first bathroom at age twelve. Did plumbing and tin knocker's apprenticeships in high school college and graduate school. Then worked as an industrial mathematician for forty years. I still do my own plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work. I tell inspectors that if they like my work, blame my father. If they have a problem with it, then I failed to do something he taught me and blame me. It's rare that I don't get a compliment on my work; that's a credit to Dad and the other skilled tradesmen around whom I worked.
My father was from a generation of tradesmen that demanded that even work that would be hidden in walls SHALL be plumb, square, level, parallel, and/or uniformly graded as required. If the work was visible, then even greater perfection was required. These tradesmen took the "neat and workmanlike" part of the code very seriously. I see so little work in the trades that meets the standards of these "old timers" that when I do, it is worthy of remark. Your plumber meets that standard. I was recently in the basement of a friend's custom home. The plumbing and radiant heating system was a work of art; it would not have been out of place at M.O.M.A. Even with purple primer, there wasn't a drip or run of primer/glue anywhere. There was exactly an 1/8" margin of purple primer showing from every fitting. Absolutely perfect. Solder joints were perfect: exactly the correct amount of solder - no drips nor runs.
I always find it interesting what is allowed and not allowed by local variants to the various codes. As an example, in my jurisdiction, the inspector demands to see purple primer on PVC pipe. Because of this, most plumbers in this jurisdiction use ABS -- one step glue joints. But, then you see "woopies" in the DWV system, because the DWV pipe "took a set" from being in the sun either in the supply chain or on the job site. Clearly your jurisdiction doesn't require primer/cleaner if the "correct" glue is used. We can't hang DWV piping with metal strap (it must be plastic or plastic hangers), clearly you can. The code pretty much universally requires that DWV piping be supported as you did: blocking on top, strapped on the bottom. Yet, I rarely see the blocking on the top of the pipe. If one uses the blocking on top, it is almost trivial to set the grade properly, as we see you and your plumber doing. Nice job!
I've never worked with a general/framing contractor that was willing to pause framing for the "ease" of the plumber or other trades people. Doing the rough-in without the deck installed is so much easier than crawling everywhere. And, I think, in general results in a better, neater job.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Gottfried
Phil seems like a great guy to work with.
he is the best
Scott, your plumber is a MASTER plumber - nothing beats experience combined with a commitment to quality. 👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
luv this ol bloke. nothing slowing him down & he is an encyclopedia of construction. we younger lads need 2soak up all the knowledge we can from these ol battle axes. these old cats have hidden strength too & will surprise the shit outta ya. they can float a keg, bottle of whiskey & smoke a quarter bag of dope & show up 2wrk the nxt day like nothing happend
Logically explained. A real master professor.
With the utmost of respect, I offer one thing I personally do differently. He used foamcore or cellular core PVC. That is good enough for the job, but true solid PVC is even better. I've broken foamcore pipe just by loading and unloading from a truck too aggressively. I've never broken a piece of solid schedule 40 PVC. As with most things, it's a cost benefit analysis and nobody can be shamed for using foamcore in compliance with the task it was designed for.
On a note of applause, your overall design and layout is impeccable! Sooooooo many people, even experienced professionals, do poorly in their design and layout. It's truly an art and it just can't be mastered without a thorough and complete understanding of code, how the pipe fittings available to you interact with eachother, geometry, and fluid mechanics. There's soooo much more math and science involved in plumbing than people care to notice. Only those who understand that fully can be called the best plumbers.
Austin what is the difference in pipe you're referring...is it how it's made ?
@@maleficentcop2752 conventional schedule 40 PVV pipe is 100% PVC through the whole thickness of the pipe. Foamcore has a thin layer of PVC on the inside of the pipe and the outside of the pipe with a foam core between those layers. It is far cheaper and far easier to carry and cut. Also far weaker. But used correctly and with care it works exactly the same and uses the exact same fittings and glue. Foamcore can only be used for drain, waste and air vent, NOT for gas exhaust vent, NEVER for dryer vent. And it's a bad idea to bury it as well.
It's fine in a crawl space and they braced it well. I wouldn't bury it though and might think twice putting it in a wall riser above the floor.
Ok thx....I've used PVC for years but not heared of the foam core before... Good to know...thx again.
@@maleficentcop2752 no problem, it's a younger technology, and actually not available everywhere. Even in some places where it is available, old timers don't always know about it because it sort of slipped under the radar due to a lack of marketing. Plus you can generally only find it in a plumbing supply house, not in the home improvement stores.
One of the many subs that are taken for granted... until something goes wrong.
I'm a young trades guy and let me tell you, my admiration for these guys is taller than the buildings they build. When you get a guy who knows the trade so well he can crack a joke about how he forgot 90% of what he learned, who says he can't compete with young crews that bang out jobs just to get a check because he has to think about how the system will perform 20 years down the road.. that's humility man, that's not only the kind of guy who can do a job that stands the test of time, that's the kind of guy that makes the world a better place. That's who I want to learn from, who I aspire to be like.
Wow, your plumber friend is really something!
Yes he is!!!
Another great episode! I'm an electrician in New Zealand (well a bit of a lineman now) so I love seeing how you folks over there do things.
There’s a lot of different codes state to state, even down to the county.
You sure know how to choose the best tradesmen in every trade of your build you are one lucky guy surrounded by such skilled and dedicated pepole, keep safe guys and thankyou for a great informative series.
Best way to wake up. Watching a new episode of E.C.😁🛁🚿🚽🚰🍑🍑🍑
Emoji story FTW
I was doubting he was a plumber - right until the plumbers crack was shown - and he managed to eat glue :)
Excellent work from your plumber...
@tcpnetworks, Lol 😆
A quarter inch of foot also allows your fittings to work when you have to go up a wall. Rough-in measurements are really important. You connect point A to point B, but you have to shoot your exit before you start. Years of doing it make it easier. When I was a kid you went out with the old man and you did as he said.
He was a journeyman and you were an apprentice. It's a great way to make a living.
well this was awesome.
Did Phil remind anyone else of Robert Duvall a little bit? Seems like the expertise lies in the nuances of what he did.
Like he would fit, and then rotate the assembly into position one time, and then stop. If his fitting came undone, he didn't just stick it back together like i think many of us might have; he reapplied the glue, and then put it back together.
you can really tell he meant what he said about building a system a certain way specifically because of his experience in the repair side of the plumbing world.
Loved the personal touch here guys.
The reason he had to reapply glue was because he didn't chamfer bevel the outside of the pipe. That Sharp 90 degree angle scrapes all the glue out when inserted into fittings. C'mon Phil c'mon brooooo
The plumber was a joy to watch. A skilled craftsman.
I been around a bit and this guy is one of the best! Your lucky to know such good people
I learned more in the 30 seconds your plumber spoke than I have all week! Thanks
What was used 100 years ago? Well we found both clay sewer and cast iron water pipes here in South Texas in a neighborhood from around 1890.
I wish a lot of young people would watch these videos just so they could get reacquainted with with the proper use of their mother tongue. Excellent articulation of all the whys and wherefores of a very informative and interesting set of house building topics!
We are master tradesman,,, passing the trades. It takes decades, respect , and helping pass the trades,. I'm learning every video you present,,,, at 60,,,,, thank you,,,I'm still learning,,,, swinging a hammer,,,, AWESOME
Of all the things I love about this channel, I love the respect you give to those folks you bring in the most.
Phil is the real deal!
Another great video....and finally one I feel qualified to comment on, being an old plumber. It was great to watch your plumber work his craft, a true professional making it look easy. One hundred years ago they may have used lead pipe and bends which would have been 'pulled' out of a sheet of lead using 'dollies' and wiped at the joints. When I was apprenticed my boss explained how they pulled a long radius 4" bend out of a sheet of lead which connected to the pan. One part of the sanitary plumbing which may have been good for your audience to understand is the importance of vents in maintaining pressure equalization in the sanitary system and keeping the fixture water traps in place. Well done on a great series of videos.
I come from a construction family. My dad and one of his brothers were plumbers. I helped dad off and on in the '50s and '60s. So I relate best to galvanized, iron and copper pipes.
I used dad's Ridgid pipe machine a lot. And I hand threaded a lot of galvanized pipe. In fact I still enjoy tap and die sets.
But later I marked and cruised timber, did a little logging, and eventually divided my time between arbor and mortuary work. So: It's been enjoyable, useful and constructive. But I knew I was waaaay behind in plumbing knowledge. I remember reaming galvanized pipe. Now I know why. I have helped a bit with plastic, but didn't know why I had to do some things.
All that to say why I was glued to this video. The review was good, the new stuff even better.
And I like your plumber.
By the way, my dad sometimes wore bib overalls. Prevents "plumber's butt".
Thank You Scott, for sharing your thoughts, insights and skills. It is truly a pleasure listening to you and a privilege to receive all you share. You remind me so much of my late Dad, I learnt so much from him too. Keep up the fantastic work you do. Take care and God bless.
So much respect for tradesmen like this.
Isn't it wonderful to work outside when it is not raining? I miss that (retired). My mentor, Duane Hoisington, said '"we don't build them like they used to"...and that's a good thing". We use much better practices today, when we do it right. I really enjoy watching your videos and I think they would be an automatic educational tool in schools.
Thanks for all the videos btw.
The grandpa many of us never had.
Or had and lost.
Great series, mandatory viewing for the young apprentices.
Greetings from england.
It is nice to see how different the work is over there everything is done so different. Love the videos and appreciate the knowledge. Keep it up.
Would you give an example...thx
@@maleficentcop2752 builders wear tool belts, we don't have crawl spaces, all our pipework is underground. We use mm not inches, our electric is 240v, we don't use lumber we use timber, we don't say mud, we say cement or concrete or plaster for walls. Are codes seem to be much more stricter, 😂😂 oh yeah we spell words with silent letters such as knives,knobs,colour. Oh yeah, one thing I love is that you take pride in your tools and materials being made locally or in your country.
MeNtAlMoUsE "WE...." the USA have moved into the 21 century !!! Sorry you Limeys are stuck in the 19th century...clinging to your history/heritage !!!!! SAD !!!!
It is not my fault it's what we learn 😂😂 blame shakespeare
@@wilburfinnigan2142 I only don't use feet because everyone has different sizes, we normally use a tape measure 😂
Probably the best plumbing video I’ve seen so far. Thank you👍🏼
You know a guy has experience when he, KNOWS his time is better spent within his trade, than in trades he "knows". A lot of people are a "Jack of all trades", but really are "a master of none".
Great to see a true professional! Love the series.
I'm a master plumber and I approve. I would also say that every plumber should start in service
I can see that far more knowledge comes from the service side of the trade. But i don't think I would be the technician I am today without my years in new construction and remodels.
I think Matt Risinger talks about doing repairs and remodels teaching him all the ways that a house can be messed up when its first built, and the issues that can result.
Of course, my old house, we had a pipe burst. And the plumbing company asked if they could bring all the apprentices by, because they didn't know the next time they would be able to show them a true old style lead piping system like I had. This... did not make my wife feel great.
no respectable master plumber would approve of this terribly wrong work... youre either a liar or an incompetent master plumber
It's true, every apprentice should start in service and repairs . I learned more doing that from some very good journeyman than you will ever learn behind a desk.Going on a job and having to figure out what's wrong and being able to fix it it the most satisfying thing. 55 year retired M.P.
When I was about to say “someone give a deburring tool to Phill” he starts speaking about that. I take my hat off sir and I know years and years of experience don’t even compare with new fancy tools. All the best!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing and allowing us to meet your Plumber.
17:52 is a testament to the effectiveness and ease of use of the torx drive, that's some real abuse being taken in stride.
My thoughts exactly, ever since I started using torx Instead of philips for my projects I’ve dealt with a lot less stripping, and a whole lot less frustration.
I’ve waited for plumbing on this channel since I started watching a few years ago! Is it my birthday?
Happy birthday Adam!
This is so cool, I really liked thinking about how the coefficient of friction decreasing as technology improved materials over the years led to relaxing in the code of angles required. And like you said, we're so fortunate to be alive at a time where we have such great technology. Young people lament at the problems left in the world, plastics in the ocean etc., and there certainly are problems that need attention, but it's important to remember that that's a leftover problem after technology solved 99 others, and this is great progress
he is the real deal when it comes to plumbers !! top notch !! excellent work !!
Sir like usual, it’s a pleasure to watch you work and especially your explaining of the work and the right way of doing the particular job at hand. Great work sir.
This project is proving to be an invaluable resource. Keep up the good work guys I am really enjoying this series.
Code says one has to use plastic strapping with pvc or abs. Really like your videos and commentary about the joy of labor and pride in doing a good job. Carpentry is such a combination of physical, math and abstract thinking skills. Most people don't realize what a craft or art that it is. I wish our youthful generations could realize what a rewarding (and profitable) career it can be. Not everyone needs college.
Really appreciate these in depth plumbing videos, seeing Phil's way of working gives me ideas on how to do things out of my comfort zone. Learned a few new things with a doubt.
This is high quality content! Thank you for you hard work.
Scott, that’s a cool tool. Makes drilling into cement block a piece of cake!
Core drill you can rent them at home depot for like 100 bucks a day in case you ever need one
Nothing better than a little wall mounted core drilling
I wouldnt call it a piece of cake, they can be pretty dangerous if you dont know what you're doing. But they are a major convenience.
Franklin Prichard I used one for the first time to drill out two big holes in a sidewalk for a metal railing I stick welded up myself, and it wasn't too bad. Messy job but pretty safe since I had a 260 lb gorilla standing on top to hold it down.
Couldn’t say enough on how much I appreciate these videos. I installed my floor joist before you were able to post the video so I missed out on getting it as perfect as I can. But I’m glad you are making quick work because now I can do the plumbing correct and everything else from here on out since you will be way ahead of the point I’m at with my place. Thank you and keep sharing the amazing knowledge!
I will be following closely and paying attention to every detail that I would normally bust my brains if I had to figure it out myself!
“Do as I say not as I do” great advice, but your experience shows that you know and you have found the things that work for you. Thank your for the great work.
Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge and experience and highlighting the craftsman that often go unnoticed i love to see that there are still people proud of the work they do
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your knowledge and experience are well conveyed to those of us who are a bit short on both. Thank you for all you share!
No need for the disclaimer, I'm a New York Licensed Master Plumbing Contractor with 30 years in business. I've been in the trade since 1978 and like Phil, I take as many tried and true short cuts as possible. No two tradesmen will do the same job, the same way and the plumbing inspectors know this. As long as it complies with code and the spirit of the code it will pass inspection and serve the home and anyone who occupies it for many many, many years to come. Too many tradsmen are critics of others in their trade, they all believe that they are the only one who can do the job correctly. I'm here to tell then that they are not. Nice Job!
I am loving your pipe suspension system! We don't build a lot of new houses with crawlspaces where I live (the old houses are, but you don't get to see their plumbing), so it's amazing to see it.
There's gonna be a video montage at the end of this series of all the "peach" moments 😂
Fantastic! I can't wait for the next episode!
I am not building a house and probably never will. But I have watched every one of these spec house videos and love them, and have learnt a ton of stuff.
Having just finished my plumbing project over the weekend. The small tips that are in this video are things I could have used last week. Great video as always.
Nice video! Also I see the RUclips code squad is out in full force. Never knew so many people were experts on strap, primer, glue, fall and technique!
Wonder how many are actually licensed plumbers or licensed inspector? I happen to be licensed to inspect by the state I live in, but I still learn from these videos. EC is the best
Joey Stinson from what I’ve seen in the comments, none of them haha
Beardoggin89 opinions are like a#s holes everyone has one.
Very nice. My fellow plumber there seems like a great guy.
Thank you for this education!. I'm starting my first installation of drainage plumbing on my house as well as the clean water plumbing!.
I've been watching your spec house video since episode 1 and I've learned so much. I've been out of the trades for about 12 years but I always enjoy seeing the pro's come in and knock out all the work. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. But with all the time you're spending on the spec house, videos and other aspects of your business, I sure hope you're spending quality time with family and friends to find the optimal work/life balance.
Thanks for being one of the best channels on RUclips!
I could watch these build videos for hours. Fantastic!
Thank You, Sir. This vid post gave me some reminder information. I Have always thought about the "what if" and "down the road" stuff when doing a project. Sometimes maybe too much thought. I want to work smarted not harder. Thank You.
These videos just give me the sense of peace,thinking back when I done a lot of renovation to old house's restoring them back to good condition in the 70's . and starting from a wooded area to house completed turn key for the onwer's. Thanks for having these videos for all to enjoy, and well spoken narration. again . Thank You
I do commercial electrical work, so I see a lot of plumbers throughout my day, I don't know if it's just in Vancouver, but damn so far the plumbers I see here have huge arms and build like tanks!! they look like bodybuilders walking around construction site lol, maybe its because in commercial plumbing they still use cast iron drain pipes and fittings. i did not know much about drainage prior to this video, but after watching this, I feel appreciative of their good work, keeping the shits in the sewer and bringing clean water in the building, the simple things I take for granted in my home, awesome!
I wouldn't worry about the people who say you're doing this or that wrong. There's an old saying. "Two of a trade rarely agree".
Looks way better than the plumbing in my crawlspace. He does good work, and so do you.
