Using primer is a national Code, and any licensed master plumber should know this . Now i see many Contractors doing new construction homes who dont use it because we all know that most General Contractors normally mess up everything and don't do anything per Code but for some reason they continue to get away with it. I do use the blue monster 1 step on service work but when doing brand new construction if you don't use primer it will 100% not pass inspection in the 3 states I service . I dont do new construction anymore i only do service work so 90% of the time i use the 1 step monster cement and never had a leak. But with that being said i see alot of general contractor's who just dont know what there doing, I see them putting cement on the pipe only and not the fitting, I see them not doing the 1/4 turn to spread the cement even,I see them not Wait 20 to 30 seconds for the joint not to back off, i see them using sharkbite fittings and not cleaning the copper pipe or de burring the pipe or marking the proper depth of the copper pipe to make sure sharkbite it all the way in, I see them not de burring PVC pipe, I see them dunking a hot solder pipe joints directly into cold water because they are to lazy to wait for the pipe to cool and 99% of the time the solder joint is not done correctly anyway. General Contractors give licensed tradesmen a bad rap as in licensed plumbers, licensed electricians and so on, Because most General Contractors try to do everything themselves because they are to cheap to pay a licensed master plumber or licensed master electrician. But like i said they continue to get away with it and in todays world its really gotten bad because most of the inspectors are in there late 20s or 30s and just dont care, So they dont check anything, They just pass everything without looking at anything so they can get back on there cell phones on Facebook. I can't even tell you how many calls I get on new homes that a general contractor built and didn't use a licensed master plumber, And I have cut out walls only to find a bunch of sharkbite fittings blown apart because they didn't even pressure check anything or they didn't install the sharkbite correct ( You should not burry sharkbite behind walls anyways , a 4 year old probably knows that ).Then when the customer calls up the builder they of course Ghost the customer or they are out of business and filed bankruptcy, I see gas water heaters in garages that are not raised up to the proper height, I see sanitary tees on backwards, I see copper pipe with globbs of solder running down the pipe because again the contractor just don't care or doesn't know how to solder pipe, I can go and on. And all these things I am mentioning are from General Contractors who don't have a real licensed master plumber doing the work. It's ridiculous how bad the qaulity of workmanship is with our new generation.. By the way I own a plumbing business in 3 different states and I hold a master plumbers license in all 3 states and been in business for 28 years so I think I know just a tad about plumbing.. because I know there will be a lot of youngsters on here ( know it all's ) who will be negative about my comment and it will probably be one of those General Contractors who do shady work or sloppy work or think they can do plumbing or electric work without any license and do it just as good as a real licensed master plumber or a real licensed master electrician, but the truth is it's reality in today's world and it's only going to get worse.

I will be doing something similar on an existing patio so it will not be on a slightly raised pad. Thoughts on how to raise it slightly off the ground to prevent water pooling as well the steel sitting in water and risking rust long term?

Do you run it in forward when bringing the snake back out too? Or reverse?

I think mine is coming from the drain line

It would be great if you showed how you supported the grill in detail. Did you screw it in or does it just sit there?

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing

When are you going to upload a video completing the fireplace and barbecue build?

People are sure bashing about adding water to acid, like they didn't read the comments. It looks like the jug says it makes 5 gallons, which would mean that you would use 4 parts water to 1 part acid. Looks like it still did ok at 5 to 1though 🙂

Never thought much about where all those roof vents went to. Good to know👍🏻

Very thorough!!!!! Thanks for the drain your.

Muy bonito video . Hare uno en el patio de casa . Gracias por tu ensenanza.

I had the job max with all the heads. The power unit went out and now they don't make it anymore. So they sent me a check and now I'm setting on all the heads and can't use them. The money they sent covered the power unit and one head not all of them

Do not use paddle bits on an impact driver. Use your tools properly and they'll out last you!

Great video. I sure wish I was bringing up roots. My root tip keeps getting stuck about 25ft in. But when I pull it back up it is squeaky clean. The spade bit and the spring bit go the full 50ft and come back with nothing. Not sure what else I can do.

thanks for the video.. would have been even better if you posted a before and after picture simaltaneously for comparison.

Nice video, but best practice is to ALWAYS ADD ACID to water (AAA). Never add acid to water as it can cause a harmful reaction, FYI.

Hello first time viewer yes, I subscribed. Yes, I have a lot of rigid cordless tools. I’ve had them for a few years and use them a lot. They just take a pound and keep going. Yes I like my corded tools. Also, when I’m at home I have a lot of craftsman and Black & Decker that my dad owned I’m 61 so they’re nowhere near newand they keep going

How is it no one has commented. By far the best I've seen since searching about problems with my sagging/rubbing front door. And, you look a little like Harrison Ford.

When you grabbed those long tapcon's I blew coffee out of my nose.

This is very educational and helpful. Thank you!

I just cleaned the carpets in my rental home and the hallway carpeting and living room carpet had urine stains that had dried out from previous renters who had 3 big dogs. I was afraid I would have to replace the carpet but believe it or not I applied a Rug Doctor stain remover the night before I did the carpet cleaning and the stains all came out--really saved me some money and I did not have to replace any of the carpets!

Thank you for sharing 😊👍

Can the framing rust?

Where's the plumber's tape?

+500 confidence acquired. Thanks!

Code where this DIY man lives requires primer, and all plumbers I know use primer. The only failures I have had were where no primer was used.

Thank you,big help:)

Thanks for such a complete demonstration effort. I’ve used my 25’ drill mounted snake has paid for itself many times over. Now it’s time to upgrade. For anyone balking at the price of a good 100’ drain auger? Check the price of a plumber to come out for a few hours with his. Once.

What was the height of the metal frame you cut for the bbq island part?

I would NEVER trust anyone who holds the pliers/wrench in the wrong direction./10:55

The holes are not offset on the APB44 Screws hit each other bad design

You are giving me terrible ideas!! I don’t want any more projects.😅😅 Thanks for your detailed explanations.

The trailer I live in doesn't have turn off valves under my bathroom sink I have to turn my main water

Great content. This is exactly what I have been searching for. I am wanting to build an outdoor fireplace and BBQ structure, using metal studs. Questions, if you don't mind me asking: 1) What was the total cost of the metal stud material? 2) Is the metal studs light enough to build on top of pavers (no concrete pad)?

A reciprocating saw (w/out bade) or a palm sander work really well in removing air from the mix.

Your attention to detail is admirable. I've never delt with metal studs, but you've given me enough knowledge where I fell confident enough to do my kitchen with metal. Trying to complete an ongoing build of a 14' waterfall, Koi pond, and full masonry fireplace. Retirement is alot of work. Thanks for sharing.

nice 👍

It looks like your drain pipe is broken. There's no way roots get inside a pipe without a broken pipe.

Going to try this. Wish me luck!

I have my 25 ft snake stuck in the cleanout. Its really stuck

I’m no expert (just learning), but I’m wondering why you used PEX instead of black polyethylene tubing. As far as I know, I think PEX is better suited for indoor and poly is better suited for outdoor.

Ridgid is the best. Milwaukees decent but very overpriced so Ridgid wins with the warranty

I can't get my cap off. The entire head spins but the cap isn't spinning on the threads. Almost like it's glued in.

This is going to be nice when it's done!

Great video

Thank you 2pac

Paraice sar

Great demo! I need break concrete in my backyard too and it is harder than thought. Will try your technique tomorrow. Why do you use a hammer and is it a must use? I do not have a hammer.
