      You have to have comprehensive listening skills.
      Listen to each sentence. Maybe 20 second clips. Write it down. Then imagine and visualize what he is saying and see if it applies to the issue you're dealing with your leaking pipe or sink.

      I have a feeling that you have to have a certain length of video in order to monetize it. That's why we are subjected to long-winded tutorials that could take 30 seconds otherwise.

    Very helpful! I had water under my bathroom sink, but after watching a couple videos I realized that I was not exactly sure what the source was. This video was perfect for doing the 'diagnosis' -- and it turned out my issue was the easiest fix -- just had to tighten the supply line valve. Now the harder part will be fixing the water damage inside of the cabinet.

    I have a very slow leak coming out of the top of the nut that holds the 3/8" pex faucet feed line to the water line connection fitting under the sink. There's a nylon compression ring under the nut along with a rubber ring below the compression ring. I am guessing water is seeping around the rubber fitting. I can't find replacement rings anywhere. What can I do about this?

    This was awesome but I have a disconnected plastic tube under my bathroom sink - totally bizarre. Just went to turn on the water to wash my face and nothing came out but I heard the water running. Looked under the sink and the left side tube had someone become disconnected. Tried reconnecting the tube but it doesn't want to screw back on or push on - can't figure out how to reconnect yet it looks like a simple fix. Could you do a video for that type of issue please?
