  • water can still be trapped between the plastic water-tight cover and the chrome cover. Is that considered?

  • I can Bing watch all the videos .Thanks for sharing!

  • Just put in an American Standard Cadet toilet last weekend. Some smart engineering to make it super easy and foolproof. Had it installed perfectly in less than 30 minutes, and it flushes great. Amazing toilet for $120.

  • Awesome video. Trethewey reminds me of my dad with old school plumbing like preferring copper over pex, wax ring instead of neoprene, soldering instead of crimping, things like that.

  • Richard, I agree with you on old school, but some of the changes here seemed really good! However, I don’t like the shower/bath snap on face cover. Might be hard to get off OR loosen up over time for the homeowner! Thanks for all the other changes though Standard American!!

  • I like it when richard sweats like a pig and his shirt is completely soaked
