I have found inspectors (southwest Ohio) treat DIY homeowners differently than Contractors they are familiar with. Makes sense. A few years back I finished my basement myself and went through a pretty thorough inspection process overall. The one exception was for the plumbing. I hired a respected local Contractor to move the shower and sink drains (break concrete), plumb the bathroom and replace a water heater. Once the inspector was aware of this he simply walked by the work, signed my permit, and said I made a great choice with my plumbing hire. 30 seconds and he was gone.

Your videos with the DIY success and problems encountered are a valuable learning experience. Keep up the good work. ❤

We are getting ready now for the electrical and plumbing of our home. The septic is going to be ready on Monday. We aren't doing any vents through the roof. We are going to use the ventless valves for the plumbing

⭐No doubt, it is one of my fv channels⭐

Wow, when I sa you trying to fix the leak on the shower valve by over tightening, I thought, "you should definitely hire someone"

Great job. Not too bad at all, most of the leaks were easily avoidable and will likely not happen to you next time after this experience. Not just in traditional plumbing, but in general once you start to work with different types of threaded fittings, o ring seals, teflon tape, etc you start to learn how the systems work to prevent leaks. Then you know the answer to when ptfe tape is required, when its not, when you need to replace or lubricate an o ring etc.

I enjoyed the video. Great job. I do worry about the shower head connection in the future as no threaded connection should require that amount of effort to tighten.

Let’s just give it up for this man who wears ear protection, while tightening a valve. Some might say that’s overcautious; I say it’s just right 7:37 Et aller vite fait pour mes Français, là il faut avouer que à ce moment-là on s’est tous dit 😏😏 😂

Good job overcoming.

When it didn't seem like it would tighten and sealnibwpild have just replace it at thst point. Even if it held you know it will leak later and be much harder to replace later.

Great Success!! 👍👍

Imo best way to prevent leaks when roughing in water lines is to use copper pipe and solder the joints

I tune in for the swearing in French. 😂

Good episode… hard not to enjoy the french cursing 😂

Geat video thanks for sharing! Even when u speak in frustration u sound polite! Im wondering, are your building on unrestricted land and still needing to go through inspections and permits?

I am enjoying this! I am curious, so what was wrong with the shower bit, that requires you to put that much torque on it? Chipped o ring?

Putain l'enfer toutes les fuites ! ^^
