At the end of this video, you said "There is a lot of work out there for plumbers to do" and I agree there is a lot of work out there for plumbers. However, when they are quoting you $300/hr to do the work, that is what makes a homeowner do their own work. I am one of those homeowners that want to do his own work because I was quoted $1500 for connecting a whole home water filter and a water softener. I already had all the parts and materials but the plumber said it was because they had to get parts from a plumbing supply company and the copper tubing is better than the copper tubing you get from HomeDepot but in 30 years my mother's house has never had a problem with HomeDepot copper pipes.. The total run was about 10 - 15 feet (max) of copper pipe (3/4") and 10 - 15 various fittings such as "T"s, 90s, etc... After I was hit with the quote of installation for the filter/softener, I was also quoted an additional $1200 for the installation of a water booster pump (because my water pressure is 42psi) for a total installation cost of nearly $3000. Keep in mind, this is ONLY for the installation cost, I had all materials and parts required. I told the plumber to pack sand and that I would not have it done through his business because that is an absolute rip off... I can understand paying $100-$150/hr for work to be done because that seems to be the "going rate" for nearly all professions around here. I cannot digest paying $1500 for installation when the company doesn't have to pay for anything except time, gas (propane or map), and solder for the pipes. I even thought about paying for a crimp tool and doing it all myself but I will find someone who will install it for a reasonable price.

Great video but the audio and came out of sink after 15minutes. just noticed keep the great connent coming

Just found your channel and never thought I would want to get into plumbing but it seems like a nice job thanks for the insperation

I would like to know who the electrician was that installed that outlet at 3:00, so close to the trap primer. Very crazy.

Would you like to see pictures of my epic fail of a kitchen remodel. So 1940s house updated with a modern floor plan. Even tore the whole wall down to rewire and plumb everything. So went to hook up the garbage disposal to realize I really screwed up. See the large stainless steel sink sits inches lower meaning the wall drain is now above the disposal drain port. Yeah it was fun cutting the new cabinet so I can get to wall drain.

Same

Be honest you came for the mustache and stayed for the mustache and plumbing

Tell me about it. I have no clue how I got here or even remember what I was watching before I started my binge on this channel but all of a sudden I'm subbed and 7 videos deep. This guy is great.

GES Arts same lmfao. this guys stache is luring in all the views..

I never knew I’d be interested with toilets

Hope your good at math.

I do NOT have a tough stomach. I gagged for like half an hour after watching my mom's dog eat some fresh bird poop. Started gagging and felt nauseated for quite a while after trying to clean up my grandma's dogs puke. Couldn't do it

@Honeysuckle Blossom As my boy Gordon Freeman says in Freeman's mind: I prefer if everyone else learns the hard way for me.

@Honeysuckle Blossom That's really sad they are doing that for drugs.

@@st.michaelthearchangel7774 lol what is this an implication that all plumbers have drug problems

@@outinthenortheast2728 No it's that people dont use copper pipes cause they sold em to buy drugs

Same bro

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I have some heavy equipment that you can operate, brother. I’m a plumber and very adept at laying pipe.

@Throw communists out of helicopters I appreciate the sentiment, I am working on pulling myself up by the bootstraps and getting my own sitework company together here in New England

@Hex It’s still not as toxic as my old friend samantha :)

the maggots in the second photo of it.

@@stephennewcomb4277 It's rice, I also though it was maggots at first, but if you look closely is just rice

Ya you’re never under any circumstance supposed to cut or modify a truss without consulting an engineer..

@tyvek05 the only way to make a truss roof useable space is to remove the webbing, which significantly weakens the truss. And if you seriously think subfloor ply and drywall don’t add a significant amount of weight you are the one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about

So do you mean it started flooding little by little, Until you noticed?

Wow, I feel bad for you brother ;-;

@@quaxky326 Yup

TELL ME ABOUT IT

at least she did the right thing and used a qualified professional for the job. plus her new shower looks awesome anyway.

yeah, it looks normal. it also looked like it was a 3/4 line feeding 3 1/2 lines, so fine. they didn't run the water in the walls because there was no need to since the tub would cover it. at best, they could've used about 6-12" more pex so it wasn't so tight.

You’ll have to check out the Lockpicking Lawyer next

Larry Lawton is crucial to quarantine!

We’ve all been there buddy. It’s ok. I’ve even been there, heck the kids have even been at that point with binge watching the same movies over and over again. I feel your pain.

Lmao

Youngy I’ve been watching gaming videos way back in 2013 and 2014 . I highly recommend theradbrad video game channel. He is an really laid back dude from kennesaw Georgia

Must have been a sight to see

Nice! Instant skylight.

I saw a guy do the opposite. Cut open the floor around him and... voila! Instant drop to the floor below.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you poor man/woman/ angroninous unicorn

Rip That must have been disgusting

@H M oh Lord Hades almighty I don't want my lunch any more 🤢

@H M Now I feel ill lmao 🤢🤢🤢

Used to be in band can confirm. To me sounded exactly like a trumpet.

@@chelsey-6887 what were your trumpet players doing if they sound like that

That Other Boi yeah I don’t think that sound was a trumpet...

What do you think brass instruments are?

Dr. Cockroach yeah a straight trombone is literally all just sliding pipes

Exactly! I saw it and my first instinct was that it might have been an outside wall. I've seen many plumbers put waterline on an outside wall for a kitchen sink, lav, shower, toilet and the lines freeze constantly. My moto is to NEVER rough in water lines in an outside wall. I've gotten into arguements with building designers to move a fixture around in order to not have water lines on an exterior wall. Sometimes with remodels we've had to run the water lines just like this to avoid freezing. I would rather crip the floor and run them under the slab but many customers dont want to pay for the added cost from doing that. Not to mention if they have in floor radiant heat. If a line is hit a fitting will have to be put in concrete which is a bad idea.

Yeah being from northern ohio i was wondering that myseld

oh god, that sink at 7:07, that water coming out there had to be completely toxic.

Jesus Christ there's plumbing nerds?? Awesome!

the 80's and 90's stuff turned yellow with age, also if it was exposed to sunlight, direct or indirect. it of course hardens and gets brittle with age

@@throttlebottle5906 This pipe did not turn yellow. It was made that color by the manufacturer. I have seen it. @Jack's says it Genova brand. I would guess he is right. I learned my plumbing fittings from a Genova pamphlet from hardware store around the early 70's. I was probably 10.

@@throttlebottle5906 ive cut old genova fittings in half and it is yellow on the inside. white pvc does not yellow only clear pvc does

@@jacksplumbingvideos7147 My parents house had that yellow PVC. I'll have to see if they have any of it still remaining after the work done over the years.

I like when he calls out handymen. Not saying all handymen do bad work but they suck for the most part.

@@stopbullshitting4484 the bad ones get weeded out quick. I've been a handyman full time for 9 years. (Not including the 20 years part-time). I've seen all people in all professions suck for the most part. I wanted to point out that calling out one profession is off putting as a professional "person" or "human" or "content creator". Yes, point out when one specific person does a bad job. No, do not say everyone in a profession is bad. I can assure you, @Stephen Meek , a good handyman has many repeat customers and refers his/her customers to the specialists when a job is beyond the skill level. I have done this countless times. Also, when I do get the belittling comments from customers, I politely refer them to the most expensive specialist I know. If you believe that calling out one profession is ok, feel free to post your credentials here. If not, I hope you find a good handyman, so your spouse stops complaining you do not fix your house.

@@stopbullshitting4484 this is why when my son, who is a handyman, introduces himself to a client he lasts with "Licensed, Bonded and Insured" (in our state there's a Handyman license which allows you to do jobs under 25k)

It is common in kitchens to have a floor drain, that is higher than the branch line the sink drains into. You would use a trap primer for that drain.

@@josephnorton1996 Is this only a thing in Texas? I get it when it's a commercial kitchen, but residential? That's interesting.

Yeah he explains in other videos that basically by adding things to the back of the tank where the water goes you remove space for the water and thus the toilet will flush less water per flush

@@sethk1429 Yeah but they couldve used like a two liter coke bottle if the tank was big enough

Bruh I didn't even see the outlet. Right under a place where leaks could happen. Yikes.

it's not even GFCI.

Yes!! Send them to video@rogerwakefield.com

LOL

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wondered this my entire time working working for Roger! lol

I regret reading this whole thing

Pickle Rick no one made you. You could have stoped at anytime. Do you make a habit of complaining about things you decide to do?
