Dad redid his kitchen. Put a braided line in for the fridge. 2 years later, pops a pinhole leak, he catches it after an hour. Not too big of a deal, some slight water damage, but mostly just running fans in his (finished and furnished) basement. Take two is this exact line. Little over a year after the install, it springs a pinhole leak. This time my folks are gone for the weekend. One $14,000 HOI claim later, and they now buy bags of ice and get water from the sink. It has likely scared me from ever putting in a line to my fridge!

I wished you had used a wrench on the elbow while you were loosening the water line and talking about how brittle the CPVC was. The elbow is squared so you can put a wrench on it while tightening or loosening. That would be good advise for those that are not very experienced in doing this type of work.

I watch you channel for your style, editing and dialect. The voice over videos eliminates the slap stick humor, tips that present themselves at that time, as well as the references to each tool you are using and where they can be purchased. With that being said-your knowledge of home repair, your level of professionalism, and integrity could use a refresher course. J/k! Awesome channel and look forward to the next live hangout.

So sorry for this long ass comment....try not to make ‘em this long....but, was a great vid w/ lots of knowledge & info for us. Do like when talk to us as you’re going along with the job(install). Have many reasons why prefer talk as you go, rather than voiceovers, it for kicks n giggles....here’s one: while your in the moment doing the job, issues that come up or things you think of are more natural, flowing.....& we can see it as you go, especially if have an issue, or it’s as smooth as silk (lol). Voiceovers are great for some projects (or some types of vids), but sometimes might not remember why did something afterwards (especially if editing a vid days/weeks later), or, just might not be into “the voiceover”; want to get video/project done....& get it out(not that you’d do that, not being facetious here, honest). So, prefer on the fly, in the moment, talking to us in the vids....just can’t replicate the fun, knowledge, reactions, etc....when doing a voiceover as well......in my opinion, of course😊 10:29 This insert is kinda similar to the PEX inserts that need to use depending on brand/type. My rule of thumb....If manufacturers include/have them....I’d go ahead and use ‘em😁 12:30 Absolutely love when manufacturers have the backplate on fridges (appliances) made out of metal. It’s so much more durable, & makes life easier for service calls, etc.... Can not stand, when go into a house & pull the fridge out & the back panel is made out of card stock🤬 (have even seen corrugated cardboard before). It’s just plain stupid, annoying, & always ends up falling off or ripping. Why, just why 😂 Thanks for the vid Handyman, this house you’ve been working on is looking great. Gonna be awesome when completed👍🏻 Cheers✌🏼

Just say no to saddle valves! Illegal in many states as they corrode the copper piping and when it fails, you will have a major clean up and repair bill. Insurance doesn't want to pay out claims for this! I didn't know I had one but now I do and will be changing it myself. Not to mention, the water flow is slow.. it takes my water dispenser 45 seconds to fill a 12 ounce glass. This is about to change! I am redoing my water intake system from the pipe! I will use a compression connection at the pipe to connect the tubing to the fridge. Never done it before but I have youtube!
