ooofta .. as a plumber it makes me shudder but good on you for owning your mistakes so others dont. Folks in the future even if you dont want to get a plumber to do the work at least ask one to come over pay him an hour labor to at least show you what needs to be done and maybe draw up a rough diagram so you as a home owner dont have to end up going through this.

Great job!

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful

Thank you for making this video.

Thanks for this video shows how much we need plumbers in this world

Thank you so much for this!

thanks for being brave enough to share -most would not

As a plumber....it's amazing how homeowners try to save money doing it themselves......but in the long run they are better off hiring a PROFESSIONAL PLUMBER! TIME = MONEY

Thank you for posting this excellent video. It is very helpful to see what things the inspector found.

Thanks for sharing this is very valuable

Looks like somebody’s nightmare

Wtf

I admit you tried at least, but why would you go through allll that work and you didn't know right from wrong. I am a plumber and i could see what was wrong before you stated it. It doesn't mean that because i can run electrial lines that im going to though.

Yup, always do your homework Señor. Just know you're not the only one we all make mistakes.

F+

It's a wonder they didn't make you hard wire the whole thing, with all those rubber fittings underground in there

...not to mention your sink drain is first in line to the actual vent...so you just made your sink a vent....so the p trap will always empty everytime you flush the toilet.... 😉

Thanks for the knowledge.

You didn't fail if you fixed those items in the end. unless you do this kind of work for a living don't kick yourself over it. It'll be done right and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did the work not to mention the money you saved.

Thanks!!

DWV is a challenging for a DIY'er. Took a lot of guts to take that on. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video but B+ ( no way ).

thank you for sharing -lessons learned.

the vent should be 6 inches above the flood level rim. no big deal, you just have to repipe the entire system, simple fix

My head hurts looking at this plumbing

I'm about to start the plumbing in my house reno, thanks for posting this and pointing out mistakes I could easily see myself making. Your lack of ego is helping a lot of diy'ers out there! Hope you got it all tuned up.

Best video ever that the best way to learn.

Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y asi no cometer los mismo errores

Stop doing plumbing, you suck at it. It takes 5 years of classes, plus 3 years of on the job apprenticeship and 12 hours a year for continuing education to hold your license boy do I hate these people

No no no you cannot use fernco in your house

I’m glad he posted his mistakes. But even as a DIY’er I would never bury anything with a hose clamp!

You screwed up....

The rubber elbow would have squeezed closed under the dirt and cement.

Hi any videos you know of regarding adding shower drain to toilet drain on concrete slab ?? The cast iron pipe for the toilet come up so I need to cut before toilet flange ??Thank you!

U r so funny man

The rubber y connected to the vent is reversed direction I think. You don’t want the flow flash into anywhere you don’t want. I would not recommend to use any rubber elbow as it can get loose and start to leak. Only use rubber fitting if you cut off a straight pipe and want to replace that section with a new one. Great reference video for green hands, thank you.

Thanks so much for posting this!

If you were like some of the arrogant posters here, you would say something like "My good friend has been doing a plumbing project and he is going to have to have it inspected. Even though I am not licensed, he knows that I know as more than most Master Plumbers and all inspectors, so he begged me to come look at his work. Now let me show you some of the places he made mistakes so you don't make the mistakes my friend made. I am so smart and handsome." That is how they make videos.

The rubber elbow 😁 it's cause concrete would just smash it. I wouldn't even try that if it was allowed. Nice neat work though 👍

Thanks so much for sharing, so we all can learn. Much appreciated!!

Thank you!

that should be a D--

I can’t believe they allow you to bury rubber couplings at all...

We all make these same mistakes, but it takes an uncommon genuine confidence to be unafraid to show our mistakes. To go even further and highlight your own failures for the benefit of others is character on the highest level. Your post is very important and is much appreciated. You sir, are the type of man to be admired and respected by the rest of us.

It’s good if you to show mistakes. It helps people watching know what not to do. Im sure this next advice is too late but I’ll say it anyway. As for the rubber couplings, even the ones the inspector allows I wouldn’t use. Use glue fittings everywhere you can and when you can’t use a no hub coupling. A 4 band no hub would be even better. When it comes to plumbing under a slab, you want the best connection possible. Also, I don’t know if your area allows wet venting but if so you shouldn’t need that toilet vent. Wet venting just means a drain that also serves as a vent for another fixture. It appears as though the lav drain and toilet vent are side by side so if wet venting is allowed then you could cap off the toilet vent and use the lav drain as a wet vent.

B+ my ass! This is the worst job I have seen in a long time- maybe ever! You stink and have NO business ever touching pipes again. You are clueless, what do you do for a job?? It can't be anything that requires common sense. Please next time you try to save yourself some money think about how bad you are fucking the next people that buy that house. With any luck your house will burn down before that happens. PS.... I hope you and your family gets out safely.

Well share plumbing misstated....thanks
