You're probably right. When I've mixed it up before I think I didn't add enough soap so it didn't work very well. I now have leak test solution that will last me for years. LOL
I’m always so impressed by the work on the build that I don’t even notice the video editing. I want to acknowledge that you get great shots and do a great job of putting it all together for us to view. I’m a busy mom of 3 but I set time aside every Sunday to enjoy your videos.
Wow, thank you! We really appreciate you making time in your life to follow our build and our channel. And thank you for the compliment on the video editing. I once heard a professional editor say, if your viewers don't notice the editing, then you're doing it right. But on the backend each video probably takes 8-10 hours of concentrated work to put together.
Just a suggestion next time you connect piping use t's instead of connectors and ells with a plug so if you want to add a line you don't have to cut into the line! God bless Bill
So glad i stumbled across your chnl, nesr identicle to what i hope do very soon, already aquired the land.. thanks for showing reality as new builders not glossed over pro Hollywood fluff.... All the best. Cheers from western 🇨🇦
Ahh! That means so much to us. There are tons of great RUclipsrs out there so to hear you rate us so highly makes our day! Thanks so much for your support.
Seemed like a monumental task. But you pulled it off . Ryan. I agree with you. To achieve peace of mind.we often go a step further. Wishing you success on the part of the build Glad you got to spend time with family
i did not see any shut off valves at the manifold tees. you may want to do this in case you need to isolate a line. also add a couple extra tees with shut off valves in case you need to add other line in the future
I wish I would have known this before I ran the gas line because it makes a lot of sense for future expansion. Where I turned the 90 it would have been a great opportunity to put a tee with a plug. And yes, probably should have put shutoff on the manifold. Now I'll have to turn of the whole system if I ever want to expand out in the future. Now I'll know for next time though. Thanks for the tip.
Your ducks are soo cute 🥰 Was that green dye in the pool or eugh? Dont they have soldered gas pipes in the US? Great to see another progress vid tho 🥳🥂🍻 Do you have an ETA for a move in date, or a target date?
It was the last day the pool was going to be up before we drained it, so it had got a bit green. No soldered pipes here. Usually black steel like we used. We are hoping to be moved in by Christmas.
Spent about 50yrs i UK using washing up diluted liquid as a leak detector, then some jobs worth decided not acceptable corrosive, must use acceptable expensive approved leak detector, as a apprentice worked with a fitter who split more fitting in a few months than i came across throughout my working life ,found iron fittings (pos Chinese) now not fit for purpose ( polite version ) rule of thumb don't wait till veins in your neck stick out whilst tightening. = split fitting
It probably would have worked fine. I had watched other people who had trouble finding small leaks have good success using specialty leak solution so I figured it was a small investment for peace of mind. But your right, I could have saved $10 and just used some Dawn. We live and we learn.
Problem with using Dawn is it’s very powerful and can cause issues on certain materials especially soft metals such as brass if not cleaned off, I use leak solution designed for searching for leaks but advise cs to use either Palmolive or soft hands in water for searching for leaks themselves bc they won’t cause premature corrosion if not cleaned off afterwards
You might want to check code on csst connections in in accessible locations such as in the wall connecting to the outlet boxes. Reason I say this is unions are not allowed by code to be in inaccessible locations & that is basically what the csst to npt connection is.
I looked after you messaged and it says that CSST connections are rated for concealment. Maybe because it is a gasket connection instead of like a union where it is metal on metal?
I’m still watching so I maybe premature but make sure you bind the csst some inspections miss this but I promise your insurance company won’t if a fire happens
Use dawn dishwashing liquate to check your piping. go under the house and put a thick layer around each threaded section and wait if it bubbles you have a leak in that spot check everything one by one. you want to start this early in the morning that way you can find all the leaks
Ryan's answer two weeks made me chuckle. But Sarah your survivor talk was the best! Keep up the great work
It made me laugh out loud when I heard it when editing the video.
Soapy water …look for bubbles….you dont need anything else to spot leaks

I think tankless heaters are the way to go, they are energy efficient and take up far less space. Nice job and video!! Good luck with the leak!!

Good tip! I did remember to do that at the end but it would have been smarter to have options along the way.

Thanks for watching. Feel free to ask us any questions about our process.
We enjoy your show the most!💝💝💙💙we love you
Ahh! That means so much to us. There are tons of great RUclipsrs out there so to hear you rate us so highly makes our day! Thanks so much for your support.
Glad to see that you are taping and doping.
It's interesting we have had comments saying we shouldn't have used both and others congratulating us for using both.
Fantastic progress folks.
Nice job . You two are amazing. Temp could be a factor. Leak tec is one of the best testing fluids.
I'll check out the Leak Tec product next time.
Seemed like a monumental task.
But you pulled it off .

Hi from the uk 🇬🇧 👋 Looking so good guys! Well done xxx
Thanks for watching and continuing to support our channel.
Hello family ❤😊
Super gemacht 🎉😊👍🙂🙋♂️🇩🇪🤗
It is best to pressurize a pipe (system)with N2. This is because N2 is less temperature sensitive
I've read that before, but the average person doesn't have access to N2. So air worked for us in this case.
Your ducks are soo cute 🥰 Was that green dye in the pool or eugh?
Dont they have soldered gas pipes in the US?
Great to see another progress vid tho 🥳🥂🍻 Do you have an ETA for a move in date, or a target date?

Are you leaving filing, shavings in the pipes your filing?
I never noticed, do you have some type of cover to keep chewing critters from going under your house and gnawing on the tubing?
We will be building a cover that blocks off the entrance to the crawlspace once we are done with construction.
ryan & sara how will you be heating the house so the pipes don't freeze? house is looking good,almost gettin to the finish line. tesla-gettin better
We are primarily heating with our mini split and wood stove. Then we have electric heaters in the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom as a backup.
Spent about 50yrs i UK using washing up diluted liquid as a leak detector, then some jobs worth decided not acceptable corrosive, must use acceptable expensive approved leak detector, as a apprentice worked with a fitter who split more fitting in a few months than i came across throughout my working life ,found iron fittings (pos Chinese) now not fit for purpose ( polite version ) rule of thumb don't wait till veins in your neck stick out whilst tightening. = split fitting
Will there be an inspection for the safety of the gas installation?
Once we get the pressure to hold then we will have the gas line inspected. they want to see 15 PSI hold for at least 10 minutes.
Dude, Any Pessure Loss on a Gas Line system can be (Deadly)... You need to find and stop it!!
I understand the seriousness of it. I obsessed over the pressure test for weeks. I’m going to make sure it’s 100%.
How did you size your gas lines in the house seems a little small
We actually oversized them to 1" and the branch lines are all 3/4". From what I've read and the calculations i've done they are plenty big enough.
Leak Testing Solution? Dish soap and water works just fine
It probably would have worked fine. I had watched other people who had trouble finding small leaks have good success using specialty leak solution so I figured it was a small investment for peace of mind. But your right, I could have saved $10 and just used some Dawn. We live and we learn.

MAKE SURE, DON'T MESS WITH GAS .PLEASE
I made sure to triple check the connections for leaks. We are all good!
You might want to check code on csst connections in in accessible locations such as in the wall connecting to the outlet boxes. Reason I say this is unions are not allowed by code to be in inaccessible locations & that is basically what the csst to npt connection is.
I looked after you messaged and it says that CSST connections are rated for concealment. Maybe because it is a gasket connection instead of like a union where it is metal on metal?
tape cant be used for gas connection here in Connecticut code
Interesting. So you must only use the thread sealant alone?
Just pipe dope

Here's to the day you never have to go to the crawl space. 🥂
Really looking forward to that day!
I’m still watching so I maybe premature but make sure you bind the csst some inspections miss this but I promise your insurance company won’t if a fire happens
I’m guessing you meant “bond”? If so, I didn’t get it done in this video but we did bond the gas line back to the main panel with #6 AWG bare copper.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid 👍🏻, I did mean bond but sometimes smartphones aren’t as smart as they think they are lol
I hope everyone is invited to a house warming at the end.
We'll have a big party!
Natural gas or propane? Oh, happy day when you can run hot water in the shower.
We are on propane only. No gas lines ran where we are.
No gas leakage at all is permissible, let professionals install gas lines.
Use dawn dishwashing liquate to check your piping. go under the house and put a thick layer around each threaded section and wait if it bubbles you have a leak in that spot check everything one by one. you want to start this early in the morning that way you can find all the leaks
