  • I watch all of your videos and love em. This video you are very fidgety, too much coffee? Thanks for the video!

  • Cool, I haven't seen one of those cable drains yet, and no client has mentioned one either?

  • Spend $30 more for a brass drain.

    Previous owner installed one of these cheapie plastic kits and it is leaking badly.

    Good video otherwise.

  • The previous so called plastic leak comment was most likely the use of compression style fittings INSIDE A WALL! HUGE NO NO! NO NO NO! Plumbing code doesnt allow compression style DWV inside walls.....If the inspector did pass it? It's because the owner/installer met needs of the inspector...Maybe a readily installed access panel to serve the fixture and or inspection....you'll never see a small leak in a wall until Mold and Mildew kick in...wood rotting.....electrolysis for some steel frame builds....etc.....and trust me! I don't care if it came with the tub! It's wrong! And unprofessional! Pros measure offsets! Glue it once! Set for 40+ years! Let's see CI pipe outlast PVC in a wall!

  • Btw, I only made a comment as I've been doing this long enough not to have to Revert to University of YouTube, however? When my Millenial apprentice seeks a Jedis advice about why we dont use compression fittings because it's easier and faster...I have to sit there and Mentor my young Padawon about why He will Never Use those fittings in a wall on any of My jobs! EVER! I'm not dogging the Video...He may have been specifically directed by the owner to do so! He seems to know and work his hands as if he has mechanical skills...unlike my young Padawan Millenial apprentice! My apprentice litterally looks like a monkey F-ing a football! But were getting him to a Jedi! 4 more years to go if the Kid lasts! Right on! Aloha and Mahalo! Be safe!

  • Lastly! All it takes is 1!! 1!! Drip of H20 a day in a wall to spark Microbiology! 99.99% of the time within the walls is an anaerobic condition where BLACK MOLD THRIVES! and say it leaked for years? And penetrated say a Babys room downstairs God forbid the Newborn would involuntarily be inoculated with Black death Mold...People can die...that is why YOU NEVER EVER!!! UNLESS THE INSPECTOR PASSES it for whatever reason...Most Inspectors I've met 99.99% are retired Craft...Theyve seen it all! I've seen alot! So bad I have to deny Jobs as the owner will source a cheaper outfit and risk there lives because they were cheaper and lack of knowledge and or just lack of Human safety all together for the price of a Dollar! So you see how this Snowballs...good luck to you all that st least we try our 110% as I did to share what my apprentice though a video of youtube was so cool and faster.....Faster doesnt mean better all the time! You have to have pride in your craft..If it takes 3 weeks it take 3 weeks..And!! IF YOU THINK PROS ARE EXPENSIVE! WAIT TO YOU HIRE AN AMATEUR!! And a life is lost is PRICELESS! Because some cheap ass realtor fixer upper guy deceives honest people

  • What is the exact name of the hybrid sealant you are using? I seem to have trouble finding it.
