  • The new washing machine is useless. If these people were smart, they would install a pre-2006 washer.

  • As an architect I’m learning so much from this channel. Now I can revise plumbing specifications with more confidence.

    Thank you.

  • If just washed the clothes in the sink you save a ton of money on new washing machine and plumbing expenses.

  • Richard must have shares in a flux company...

    Every video he uses about 10x as much flux as necessary

  • Washing machine is on the right, dryer on left. Usually, it's the other way around so the washing machine opens towards the dryer.

  • Property value increased , house is now listed as located on a lake.
