    i think the sparky collected off cuts from skips , and im not joking either , we don't allow junctions outside of proscribed termination methods and equipment in the UK there are strict rules and IF you put one in you tend to take pictures of the junction and where it is and attach that to the test sheet with measurements of how to locate , so effectively not having hidden junctions and are never used except in extreme circumstances because its more trouble then its worth

    It's funny how my father as a retired plumber seriously didn't like PEX in the beginning, but the more you used it the more he saw it was better than copper.

    • @karlbrundage7472
      @karlbrundage7472 Месяц назад +1

      I built my final home in 2008-2012, and if I had any idea that Pex was a thing that's all I would have used. I used CVPC instead.
      Due to multiple guests visiting our little mountain chalet, I decided to build a bunkhouse. I used Pex exclusively throughout.
      What a great product........................

    The problem with contractors that do this is that they don't understand that people work hard for what they've got, because they themselves don't. They just rip people off.

    I just realized this was an old video. Not because of who was working in the way everyone looked. Down in the basement no blue wood. Blue wood should always be used in the basement plus spray foaming. This Way nothing ever molds and the wood never reacts to moisture.

      Also price of labor and even materials can be different depending on location. Theres also the difference between what these jobs would cost wholesale and what it costs the show, i dont think mikes team is paid the going rate and there is also the possibility of companies donating time and materials.
