What a cracking video James. You've outdone yourself with this one. You've got what we've all got who are 40+ and it's like watching myself... Memory loss when leaving an area, wondering why you're knackered from labouring, sleeping like a log after a long day's graft, then baby waking you up at the crack of dawn, singing songs from decades ago that are wasted on today's youth. Best thing I ever did was install a bog in my car port. Sick of waiting for the Mrs to finish pretending to wee, then going in after her needing a gas mask, nope, head out to the car port (has front doors on it) and lay a track in the open air breeze, nothing quite like the feel of the crisp morning air on your derrière! Keep up the great work James!
Hi James as a groundworker you shouldn't have 90 on a foul you should of removed the chamber and put 45 bends on the main channel, I know it will work but a building inspector would pull you on that mate ,just saying 😂 love you videos very informative pal
Agree with others who said about running a new armoured plus if there is an office going down there run some CAT6 as well ( external or armoured ( or both in one !))
check the regs again i am sure the peas have to be a minimum of 10mm, and it should cover the pipe, according to the regs illustration drawings i have seen. i will revisit that bit of paper shortly, but please clarify.
Well done James, Might have been an ideal time to upgrade and lay armoured cable to replace the existing while you were trenching for drain. Sure there is always next time. The videos are great keep them coming, Mark
If you can, put the spoil from your pool under the topsoil. I didnt do this when raising my lawn and its mostly clay and rubbish lawn now 🙄 Wish I'd scrapped the topsoil back and used the spoil to build up. Lesson learnt 😅
This is exactly what i was looking for, Please can I ask… What is the distance between that shed and the inspection chamber on the patio? Will it work fine at that long distance? What is the total drop from the shed to the inspection chamber?
Hi James,not sure if you have follow up video, as i would have liked to have seen the toilet waste pipe also showing full pipework to the air vent smell pipe,how they sit and all connections, thanks 👍
You need an inspection chamber above any change of pipe direction over 30 degrees, you have 2 at 90 degrees, should have used a more sweeping angle on the first one
Just done my drains for my extentioni I am building . My building control officer said I had to pea gravel 100mm above aswell as 100mm below . Never said I needed marker tape.. I was quite deep so not worried.
Nice one James, did the identical job end of last year, about the same length as yours but did it by hand as I had to stop and start all the time (work calls eh!).
No pool digging footage:(. Nice 4 inch, should have run some ducting for any future wires etc alongside your soil pipe. Concrete pool or a liner .....?
I’ve pondered the installation of toilets in unusual spaces many times, yeh I know, and I’ve thought about using a macerator. Maybe you lot have different opinions about this. I remember a place where I worked had one and often it had problems. Perhaps there are really good ones available?
Nice Job James. So much work but better to do it now than later. Never seen a rat trap in a drain but seems a good idea. Await more on your Swimming pool.
Well done James, I can tell this is not your favourite part of plumbing. I’ve got a soft spot for it as it was my first job on the building over 50 years ago. Little tip, clean up the raggy inside edge of the pipe before fitting so it doesn’t pick up on paper or worse and be the start of a blockage.😊
You left out how you were singing at Ridgeons… that’s how I recognised you lol. It was so surreal to bump into you like that and never knew you were local. HOLD TIGHT!
Haha, I’ve not heard of Ridgeons since leaving Norfolk over 30 years ago, used to head to the Rocklands one with my old man to pick up building materials for home alterations. Didn’t think it’d still be around (although it looks like it’s part of Huws & Gray now).
brill vid havnt done this big a job for a customer yet but moving soon and plan to have a out building for my boys so really helped me when i plan how to approach this project cheers
I wanted to move an outside hopper by a meter and was told it would need a building inspector. They want to see the pipe before it is covered up, and again afterwards.
Wish I could do this. What’s your secret to running a business, doing your own projects and looking after a baby? Honestly when I saw you was having a little one I thought that’s the last I’ll see of him for a while on RUclips, and now you’re building a swimming pool!!
Id say he's met regs to install a toilet at the end of his garden. It won't add value to his property when selling as it won't be classed as a habitable space.
Did you actually calculate if you had enough fall on the drain before you started? 1:80 is the standard, you don't need more. The easiest way to do it while working is cut a 1 metre batten and nail a small wedge to one end sufficient to give a 1:80 fall when the batten is sitting level on top of the pipe using a spirit level. Once the run is finished put a marble down the drain and see if it comes out the other end. If its doesn't, then you've f*@ked up. Also it was lucky how you had a blanked off end in that chamber to start with. If you're top of the system they could have just put a 90 on that instead which would have meant digging out the chamber too.
It might not come across in the video, but there's a slope gradient in the garden that almost BOB ON for a good fall. I just had to follow it. Tested afterwards. All good. Although I like your marble idea - think I lost mine ages ago!
Just explain to the wife that the kids won't track water through the house going to the bathroom. And the response would be.... why would they be tracking water in the house? oh that's because of the pool. Pool! What pool!
Careful James, playing copyrighted music as RUclips 'massive n crew' has an algorithm to search for this and demonitises your content !!! My pleasure 🙏
5:31 It seems you dont have a habit to first move things away from boundary of your job 😂 6:29 the same, it wont take long to peel up the grass you want to preserve and put them aside. It also would have given you a clear path to dig.
I have to laugh - nearly every video I've seen where soil drainage is installed the inspection chamber is nowhere near the 600mm document H says it's meant to be. Yours is really shallow!
@@plumberparts I've recently done similar, dug out from chamber at back to my garage, 12m run. Chamber is 600 deep, but ground slopes downwards towards the garage. At the garage end, the pipe is about 100mm deep. Backfilled with shingle and concrete capping. I don't feel half as bad about it now seeing yours 🤣
@@dazmatic What would have been the option if the garage was lower than the chamber? I want to put a waste water pipe from my shed to an existing pipe but my shed is lower than the pipe and I have no idea how I could round that.
@@markdavies794 another option I looked at was potentially a macerator pump. That can be lower than the main drain or chamber and it'll just pump upwards. I didn't go that route for the extra work and expense.
@VanessaJohnson-c8m well if you can be bothered to do it yourself, then you've come to the right channel. I've been watching him 10yrs. Done all the plumbing in my previous house and in my current house simply by watching his videos. Saved loads!

If you can, put the spoil from your pool under the topsoil. I didnt do this when raising my lawn and its mostly clay and rubbish lawn now 🙄
Wish I'd scrapped the topsoil back and used the spoil to build up. Lesson learnt 😅
love your videos. Don't you need rodding access when changing direction?
This is exactly what i was looking for, Please can I ask…
What is the distance between that shed and the inspection chamber on the patio?
Will it work fine at that long distance?
What is the total drop from the shed to the inspection chamber?
Hi James,not sure if you have follow up video, as i would have liked to have seen the toilet waste pipe also showing full pipework to the air vent smell pipe,how they sit and all connections, thanks 👍
You need an inspection chamber above any change of pipe direction over 30 degrees, you have 2 at 90 degrees, should have used a more sweeping angle on the first one
my understanding is that the pea gravel is also intended to flow under the pipe in case of the soil subsiding underneath.
Great timing on this, ill be doing a similar job hopefully within a week. Great tips
Just done my drains for my extentioni I am building . My building control officer said I had to pea gravel 100mm above aswell as 100mm below . Never said I needed marker tape.. I was quite deep so not worried.
Hi James great video , I am thinking on doing to online course you have . Does it cover hanging radiators ? cheers
M8 love the videos. Put a small inch and a half duct for the electrical cable when your at it.
Also building regs have you got permission for toilet in shed?
Nice one James, did the identical job end of last year, about the same length as yours but did it by hand as I had to stop and start all the time (work calls eh!).
Digger has a quick hitch on it u shouldn’t have to use ur muscles to change bucket the digger does it for you. Great work 💪🏻👍🏻
Nice one Jimmy! Looking forward to seeing the pool video!
A compost loo is a good alternative
No pool digging footage:(.
Nice 4 inch, should have run some ducting for any future wires etc alongside your soil pipe.
Concrete pool or a liner .....?
Liner. Full video about the install being filmed as we speak! Will be out when the whole project is complete.
Should have bought the pea shingle in 1tonne bags - much cheaper and you would be able to cover the pipe completely!
I was surprised at that too, especially while having the digger!
I’ve pondered the installation of toilets in unusual spaces many times, yeh I know, and I’ve thought about using a macerator. Maybe you lot have different opinions about this. I remember a place where I worked had one and often it had problems. Perhaps there are really good ones available?
wd 40 as lubricant ? doesnt that hurt the rubber washers over time, as ive had loads of issues if engine oil got on rubber before
It's a silicone spray made by WD40, it won't harm or dry out the rubber seals 👍
Nice Job James. So much work but better to do it now than later. Never seen a rat trap in a drain but seems a good idea. Await more on your Swimming pool.
Don’t you do a CAT sweep before you break ground to check for pipes n cables? And as you go deep (oh Mrs)
9:30 Should really of been a long radius bend or two 45s 😉
James why didn't you put in an a.j where the last 45° bend and the last 90°bend is at the corner of the shed
Well done James, I can tell this is not your favourite part of plumbing. I’ve got a soft spot for it as it was my first job on the building over 50 years ago. Little tip, clean up the raggy inside edge of the pipe before fitting so it doesn’t pick up on paper or worse and be the start of a blockage.😊
Please put video up when leccy cable goes down..
You left out how you were singing at Ridgeons… that’s how I recognised you lol. It was so surreal to bump into you like that and never knew you were local. HOLD TIGHT!
"Oh, that's where that bloke is. Might give him a ring if I need me plumbing done, ey?" - you, probably

Taking up the patio, eh?
Bones!
Trevor Jordache. Brookside.
"little office"
how many months until renting it out
Use pea gravel because it’s non compactable and won’t crush the pipe
Thanks for the video.

Whenever I plumb or dig, I listen to Slayer.
I wanted to move an outside hopper by a meter and was told it would need a building inspector. They want to see the pipe before it is covered up, and again afterwards.
that's how regs work, waste your time to do paperwork, it's how they get paid 10x your salary for 1/1000 of the time.
@@dimitar4ybullshit they earn 10x as much.
@@royfontaine5526 "they get paid 10x your salary"
"i disagree they earn 10x as much"
so they get paid 100x the salary?

Brilliant vid Jim boy, just sayin from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧🍺👍
what about running your hot and cold to your shead ? pls video
Thanks for naming the digger after me! 🤣🤣
who laid the water pipe, looks very shallow 😮
Yes, lots of bones when you dig the garden. I think it’s from cats and foxes raiding the bin bags back in the day before wheelies.
I have a hot water bathroom tap that is leaking but i cannot get the thread out as its full of limescale. Any advice?
Google it.
Have you tried a stick of dynamite yet....? 😂
I had a laugh when you knocked that rustic step, that's something I'd have done!
They had your pants down at that merchant.
Cracks me up the random faces he pulls . Just comes out of nowhere 😂😂
Why didn't you just take the paving slabs and put the pipe under then
Did you mean it when you told us you were running it "DOWN" to the shed. Surely you mean to run it down FROM the shed. ?
We use to call that silicone spray the K.Y jelly of the plumbing world. ‘WARNING” 😱don’t use it in the bedroom, makes a mess 😂😂😂
Ah the good old two finger precision joystick control method................
Keep cracking on you madman
😂
Might be wrong, but putting in a soil waste now means shed needs to meet building regs! It's a living space!
That also means planning permission! And your wood shed can no longer be on the boundary. Life's a bugger sometimes.
Id say he's met regs to install a toilet at the end of his garden. It won't add value to his property when selling as it won't be classed as a habitable space.
