    Well spoken, speaks English and articulate and has a real command of what he's doing. Best clip I've seen as I watch two or three of these to prepare myself to repair my own faucet. thanks for making things look easy when of course they won't be that way in real life for me.

    THANK YOU TIM! I'm totally the opposite of a handyman, but this video saved me a call to the plumber. $15 of parts from Lowe's and an hour on a Sunday afternoon... Like new! Don't forget to pick up the plumber's putty asking with the drain assembly at the store.

    This was exactly what I needed. I'm a guy who often tries to do stuff by myself, always had a father in law or big brother who knows nearby. So I'm a good assistant but not very good solo operator. Found this video, watched it all the way through before starting (unusual for me!), then was able to scroll through for the part needed as I worked. Only 1 trip to Lowes - very unusual! Thank you

    My 88 year old mom had that pin break off and she was pushing down the assembly and using tweezers to pry it back out because she was quoted almost $200. I'm glad I got to her first and found your clear, detailed instructions. I was going to wing it but there are vital tips here I never would have known. Great job...and my mom thanks you too.

      Ppl crack me up, so plumbers are supposed to do this work for 100$$?? These aren't always easy, just because he makes it look easy because he's done it for yrs doesn't make it a quick simple fix. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it yourself but a licensed plumber has a bunch of expenses, tools, licensed and continued education invested into his/her craft! I respect ppl who attempt plumbing repairs on their own but more often then not it ends up costing them more and they still call us out. Similar to a mechanic

    Hi Tim- I l love your calm patient demeanor. You remind me of a friend of mine who was able to show me how to do some plumbing, electrical, and other handyman projects with a high degree of success. Unfortunately, he passed away a year ago. I miss him a great deal. While necessity is the mother of invention when it comes to repairs, including windows, sinks, faucets, etc. nothing compares to having a competent patient mentor which is exactly what you are. Ken

    Hi, Tim. Great video for those of us who aren't "real" plumbers. One thing I might suggest however, especially for first timers, is to replace those rubber seals on the P-trap. Perhaps I'm a bit of an overkill guy but when I'm repairing sink drains, I replace everything but the old PVC pipe and fittings. And in the for-what-it's-worth department, when I have anymore plumbing issues I'm not quite sure of, I'll be back to watch another one of your great videos!

It all started with a clogged sink and i ended up replacing the entire drain system because the stopper nut in the back was cracked and I was not able to find a replacement
    ...and again....because if this video i took me about an hour to go thru the entire process..... THANK YOU VERY MUCH... I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND SUPER HELPFUL VIDEO!!!!!!

    Great DIY step by step, thank you much. As feedback, I found that I needed to use the old rubber seal/washer under the drain/sink, glad I still had it around.
    Also, it was fun to watch the plumber's putty squish out from the drain rim as I tightened the nut below. I guess I did it right, it didn't leak!

    Tim, thank you! I am the wife of the house plus the plumber, mechanic, and electrician. Oh, also the computer specialist. My husband just doesn’t get it. My dad was my teacher and helper. He is gone now. I needed to replace the pop up drain in one of our bathroom sinks. I have replaced them before as well as the faucets and the kitchen faucet. The drain kit came with nothing but the parts. I felt confident since I’d done it before. But just to be on the safe side I pulled up a couple videos. Didn’t like the first one and blast it a female gave the instructions! Then I watched yours. I still have the original plumber seal tube that my dad gave me. Couldn’t throw it away. So to be on the safe side I bought a tube of the Rector 5. Had everything assembled but kept finding a drip. Finally narrowed it down to wear the ball flipper ma-jig went to the back of the drain to raise and lower the stopper. I fussed, just sure I had done it right except the nut just didn’t tighten on very well. So I watched you one more time and realized I had inserted the 2 ring seals incorrectly. Fussed at myself some more, did it correctly and bingo no more drip!! So thanks for clear, easy instructions. I was in a hurry and too full of myself!!! But it’s done now. I really hate plumbing projects....lol

    @onedominant 2 года назад +1

    Bless you, Tim. This video is exactly what I needed. I managed to change brake pads and rotors with a RUclips video for guidance, so I should be able to do this too (knock on wood). As a single woman who is low on extra income, I've been having to wash my hands and face and brush my teeth in the kitchen sink for over a month with no hope of "plumber money" in sight. The metal gasket that smacks up to the underside of the basin BROKE (without anyone touching it) - how, I don't know, just fell apart one day. I don't have one of those "fancy" metal pipe assembly replacements, but years ago I replaced the faucet itself but not the drain. The drain part just got left in the box and tucked into a closet, just in case. I guess now is "case". It's plastic (bummer), but if it means no more trekking to the kitchen to brush my teeth, it will have to do. If I win the lottery, I'll call you to replace it. ;)

    Thank you for the step-by-step. the guy who installed our pop-up did not put the pivot rod in the lift rod hole or the spring clip. It just never worked and we just bought a new one. Yes, the little rod inside was gone due to rust. I am going to be installing it correctly from your instructions. (Although you got lucky. Ours did not drain well and had nasty smelly hair in the pipes. Thanks to my Dewalt drill and the snake drain cleaner that did not take long to clear it. I suggest a mask and gloves for that job.) I bought the Dewalt and snake for the kitchen sink pipes I was prepared for the nasty stuff. After replacing the Kitchen sink, facet and pipes this looks like a breeze. Thank you again for this video. Saving me money since I do not have a job and my sister and I are living off her income of 28K a year.

    I watched your video first then went to my local Home Depot and bought the supplies needed to do the job. I watched and paused this video as I was doing the job. It was very informative and helpful....Thanks again.
    You definitely have a new subscriber. I’ll definitely be searching your channel when the next home repair is needed.

    It's always "simply" do this or that. It's never like mine - under a cabinet with a divider, so the space to work in is narrower than my shoulder width - also right on a wall so there's little room behind or to the sides to move a wrench.

      @DanDan-os6hd 3 года назад +1

      I think it is. Most are. Its just pinned up. Two on top, two on bottom. If they got fancy they might've put a dab of glue but unlikely. Just take a scrap piece of wood and place it against the divider and hit scrap wood with hammer pushing the divider the opposite of the way it was nailed. Done it numerous times.
