Agreed 💯

[@lizzabbott]

Absolutely !

[@analuisavasquez6919]

Live your intro dsclaimer! 😂

[@christineelsey3104]

Aahh.. changing faucets.. lol.. Not my husband's favourite job.. lol... & man, you made it look so easy.. lol.. while trying to explain the many different things you might run into yourself, when you don't have brand new plumbing stuff to deal with... ❤😊.. happy slide to 40, Tom ..

[@mitzifox4601]

The way you explain it, I totally feel like I could actually do this!!!!!❤❤❤

[@susanoutler1724]

Thank you!!!💦❤️✨… I appreciate how thorough you are teaching us how to change a Faucet…. It’s nice seeing you every day!

[@zephirinedrouhin3735]

Thank you, Tom, you’re the best!

[@fancyflamingo123]

Yes, one of my requests! :)

[@eileenclaussen977]

This is a great series - I'm a widow and I know I can do LOTS of stuff but being a visual learner it's so much easier for me to see it done. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🙂

[@amynoel6782]

I bought a new faucet 4 years ago and my husband never installed it. After getting about 3/4 through your video I went and changed it out. It took 10 minutes! Thank you Tom ❤

[@elizabethsydnor5247]

You are so gracious to train us! You ROCK, Tom!

[@melissalee333]

We put the ceiling fans up today. Easy breezy. Now my mom needs a new sprayer on her sink. I will tackle that this weekend. Loving this!

[@leahr.2620]

I replaced a sprayed and while laying under the sink a piece of dirt or something fell in my eye and required a trip to the eye Dr. Next time I will wear safety glasses.

[@sueshields9107]

Love Love Love your introduction!! 😂😂

[@mikemanjo2458]

Thank you, Tom.I love your step-by-step method of teaching/showing us what to do. You give me confidence that I can do this! ❤🙏Jane in SC

[@cherylnewman9098]

Thank you.

[@leahrowe847]

Well, that's half my bathroom fix... now Tom how do I replace the sink? LOL Thanks so much for tackling this & making the step-by-step explanation easy to follow!

[@louisaseapy6117]

I'm pretty sure Home Depot is going to make some money off this video. 😁 They should be sponsoring your DIY series. Thank you so much for taking the mystery out of this process.

[@KarriFox]

This was so helpful! I don’t need a new faucet, BUT my sprayer was loose and there was a gap in the seal to the sink where water could leak down. I was intimidated by everything going on under the sink. Watched this, then went right under there and tightened it. Such a small thing but it made my heart so happy as your lovely wife would say. ❤

[@debbiedowning2732]

I think the idea for this series was brilliant! You are giving people confidence to try some of these "jobs". After many years of being told " you can't do that" I'm now thinking maybe i can ❤

[@milliearnold5087]

I watch all your videos. I am a widow and have to everything myself. Just replaced a facet but did have to ask for help to loosen facet plate. Did the rest of it myself. I also just replaced a water filter under house. People says you are 74 you can’t do that. I say, I just did. Wish I had seen your video first. Good luck on 50K.

[@teresabuchanan6836]

THANK YOU!!!! I love this series. Please continue it FOREVER!!

[@karenfisher5274]

Hi Tom! Great home improvement series so far. My husband and I both enjoy watching your channel. 👍🏻 I would love to see my unauthorized, unlicensed, unprofessional husband put in windows and epoxy a garage floor. HINT HINT! It is hoped that you continue your home improvement series after your 40th. (Happy Birthday 🎂) Maybe once a week is doable for you. You could call it “Fix It Fridays”.

[@Anno-4full]

Or Tom's How-To Tuesday 😊 since they usually do something on Friday

[@2222dw]

Keep going!

[@pattypatterson9751]

You are more fun by the day…love this family!

cool ... tfs

[@TheReflectivePerspective]

In case it helps anyone, I've started using pet pads to catch any remaining water from lines when I'm working on them. They don't get in the way like a bucket or container and have a waterproof bottom that towels don't have providing better protection. The ones I use can hold up to 8 cups of liquid, so they're generally more than sufficient. They're also great if you have a linear roof leak rather than a drip or other situation where a bucket isn't practical.

[@leahrowe847]

Those pads are great for everything~ pets, crafting, spills... the applications are truly endless!

[@susannovak8263]

What a great idea!

[@TheReflectivePerspective]

@@susannovak8263 Thank you kindly!

[@TheReflectivePerspective]

@leahrowe847 They really are! I keep them in the house, car, and tool bag. They were particularly handy when I made some homemade snow globes as well! I've even just flipped them over and used them to "mop" with when I had nothing else handy to deal with a significant spill.

[@lyndi9082]

Excellent idea!! and I just happen to have a box I'm not using any more! Thanks for this awesome helpful hint!!!

[@lizzabbott]

Wow ! That was really neat ! I’m clueless about this stuff & you make it so accessible & interesting, Tom ! You are such a patient & generous teacher. Just like your wife ! I have been passing the word about your channel / recruiting subscribers ! 😍

[@Cherylsgirls]

Loving these videos! Thanks so much!

[@jodeeclarklompa852]

This is one of the projects that I had wanted and you hit it on the mark. My faucet is leaky and truly needs to be changed. I had my home re-piped $$$$$ this year and with the new piping I believe that I can do this. thank you so much.

[@idalolo1]

Ooo! I feel like I might be able to do this! 🔧🚰 ☺ Thank you, Tom!

[@judyzwemke9305]

When Dawm sees you didnt clean under the faucet, be prepared to take it off & start over. 😂

[@lizzabbott]

Haha ! I thought about that, too ! Maybe they plan on installing a new sink , & he just did this as a demonstration ? We shall see !

[@cherylcannon3053]

Thanks so much!!!! So grateful.

[@donnajohansson4105]

Well done Tom!

[@imaredhead1]

I’m not handy but watching you do all these repairs is somehow mesmerizing. My hubby hates questions so I love hearing you explain what your doing!

[@ellef4812]

Well appreciated, Tom! 😊

[@roxannep83]

So helpful! Thanks for explaining so well.

[@lyndi9082]

This was so informative to watch Tom! My question is why plumbers/teflon tape isn't used on any threads (something I was told decades ago)... I'm guessing because that's an old practice not necessary these days. So Tom, while I can't bend and get under the sink (nor do I want to) after watching your video, I can definitely tell someone else how to do the job! LOL🤪Thanks again and keep being AWESOME!!!

[@jim5812]

I've never been this early to one of Tom's videos lol, looking forward to this one!

[@janblack7265]

Another great video! ❤

[@mackimmy]

thank you again for making clear something previously confusing. your teaching style is so inclusive, laid back, and kind that i learn easily :)

[@christeenhenry6448]

I really enjoy this Channel... Thank you for Sharing..😊

[@rebekahphillips2334]

Another great video!! 👍🏻

[@paulawhite2882]

Another great tutorial!+

[@chrisludwig3610]

Thank you for doing this series. My mom's house needs a new faucet as well as some minor electrical. I might just be able to do this myself now. Love you, your family and your channel. Keep up the good work. Again, thank you.

[@michianamom6343]

I love this series!!!

[@lindamarsden8024]

LIsten to Tom, I had a plumber change all the old shut-off valves at my parents 50 year old home. They had frozen in place plus the faucets all needed changing. I love pex. Great videos , 😎

[@daliahsmith721]

Another clear and concise demonstration. Thank you!

[@sweetlifehappywife3460]

NEW SUBSCRIBERS 🎉 my hubby and I are highly engaged to your DIY projects and are fellow Minnesotans. Keep up the great teachings, Tom! ❤

[@carrie3206]

Thank you so much Tom! I would like to share with others to be prepared if you live in an older home or a home with hard water or scale. My son and I attempted this recently and it took us two hours to figure out how to get the plastic holders that are used to tighten up underneath and hold the faucet in place off! Once we got them off it only took about another 20 minutes to complete the process of installation. Inevitably, we had to literally cut the plastic off. Otherwise we would’ve never gotten them off. We had tried every tool and vinegar and lubricants, etc… and nothing worked. We were not confident that we could cut them off until we watched a KZbin and that’s what that person had to do and so then we moved forward and cut them. 😂 Good grief!

[@lawaincooley6788]

We had that experience. I gave up because I was afraid to break something. We had a guy working on fixing something at our place and so I asked him if he would replace the faucet for us. He had the same problem. He said, well, you gotta get it out of there anyway. The sink won't break, just that dang plastic. Break the plastic. I felt so dumb paying someone. Oh well, at least it was done right.

[@jackiejohnston1252]

You're only a couple years older than me 🤫, but I feel like you're teaching me how to be an adult! Lol

[@JenOooo]

I'm a few older and loving being Tom's apprentice 🫡 This wknd is gonna be epic 🧰🪛🔧🛠️ So excited 👏

[@lizzabbott]

Older ? He ‘s younger than me & and teaching me tons !

[@jmeh2388]

I’m loving this series Tom!! I’m learning so much!

[@liliamrodriguez3020]

Great video

[@patricia.g1651]

First rule: check to be sure all the parts are in the kit before you start! We bought a faucet from a big box store that appeared to be new (with strapping around the outside of the box), only to find it was a returned item. It was missing the mounting nut and the instruction sheet! We took it back, got a replacement, and I asked the cashier cut the strapping and open the box before we paid for it. This faucet had also been returned, but all the parts were in the box along with the instruction sheet. And...Use a pillow or foam block to protect your neck from the edge of the cabinet.

[@anji5635]

Tom, this is a great series thank you for doing it!

[@stephaniegaddis1716]

I love your new Hard Hat Warning! lol!

[@susanalexander2916]

👍

[@karenbylski260]

😊 Thanks great info.

[@jinglesh1398]

Love your channel but this series is the best of the best!

[@TastingParty]

I love this series, it’s awesome!

[@lindabeard488]

Another great video and great instructions. Love it. ❤❤❤

[@jeanine6492]

Thanks, great information in a fun way. Can’t wait to see the next one!

[@bettyreagan1222]

Would you do a video on easiest way to wash windows?

[@darleneeide7090]

Good video I’m sure I could do that

[@cherihendrix3076]

I can’t tell my husband I’m watching your series because it would ruin my reputation of not knowing how to do that “man stuff”. But I’ve often thought faucets were super easy.

[@louisaseapy6117]

😂

[@juliegerber6068]

That's too funny. Don't let him know.😂

[@alexcarrn28]

" Man- stuff" ? Are we still in the dark ages? ? What are "Handy People Stuff" or "Handy Women Stuff". I believe women can do these faucets and so many other things too, that used to be "Man- Stuff".

[@jaredhammonds8255]

As a man I can say that even if my wife learned how to do it I'd still insist that she let me only because I like doing "manly things" for her.

[@leahr.2620]

When my mom got married in the 1950's her mom (my grandma) told her don't let your husband know you can do that stuff or he will have you doing it, my mom didn't listen. Lol But seriously my dad was good at DIY.

[@annab524]

Awesome video Tom. You are a great teacher. Simple directions and Great visuals.

[@cheryl9243]

Thanks I am enjoying this series. I'm forwarding your info to my son and daughters!

[@judyellen4412]

I have realized why i really like watching your repair videos. First, you are a great teacher. But, the best thing, is that you never have that condescending male tone in your voice while talking to a, mostly female audience. Thanks for that, Tom. Love this video.

[@sj6728]

??? How to repair dry wall when the studs are not flush??? How to do outside texture on stucco finish?? I have watched your channel from the beginning and love every video !!! Another one is how to change a window when it has a stucco finish.

[@susanaustin4809]

Love it. I can go by my faucet now. Thank you so much!!!

[@sandrarj6429]

We do almost all of our own home maintenance repairs and only call the specialists when we know there are other issues. Keep them coming. All great instructions so far! 😉

[@lisam5744]

I'm enjoying this series. We recently replaced our kitchen faucet but I didn't know you could buy caps and change up the type of faucet you can get. Thanks for that info.

[@gayleklein8890]

Love having your help on these types of things!! Very helpful!❤

[@pacifica9718]

Awesome series Tom. Your clear instruction is fantastic. Thank you! ❤

[@tamiwigginton7137]

You rock tom!!

[@donnajohansson4105]

You need some bar keepers friend to polish the sink.❤

[@rhondahigh7005]

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!! True to my word...I have shared all 3 videos!!!

[@Jennaweeks61]

Awesome thank you,I’ve been needing to change mine for a while now. So I feel more confident about doing it 😁😁😁

[@maryhattrick4801]

Love that you're doing these videos. I'm single so I have to do a lot of repairs myself. My brother had installed my kitchen faucet some years ago, unfortunately the pull out sprayer broke, not his fault but the actual material. Also unfortunately he lives far far away in TX and probably will not be back to visit anytime soon. And triple unfortunately I cannot physically get under my sink, and lay upside down, etc to replace it myself. I also have a broken garbage disposal so I now have the chore of finding someone to replace both, and a broken outside faucet (that is welded on). But I love watching your videos for those Justin Case times I may be able to do something myself. 😄

[@pamfiebelkorn1863]

Thank you, you are a great teacher!

[@Rebecca-creates]

Noooo, we need the intro to have the garage door smash the light. Glad your using Moen. It's the only brand my husband will use.

[@addiekeen7219]

Thank you Tom. You are so helpful. Love your videos.👍❤️

[@barbkandel777]

This is so cool, Tom! I actually feel like I can do this. Thank you! ❤

[@sallieredman7349]

You should show Dawn learning to do this as a good example to the rest of us.

[@jessicaperlove4715]

Yay!!! That was fun to watch. My brother-in-law and i replaced my parents' faucet. Man! Getting up under that cabinet is no joke!

[@winosaur7473]

Love the How-To videos!!!

[@howardandconniehatfield5548]

This DIY series is such a wonderful idea and much needed and appreciated by lots of folks!

[@Mom2Melody]

? Can you please show how to remove old caulk and replace with new caulk in a 1960 cast iron tub surrounded by tile? Thanks

[@brg2743]

This channel is going to hit a million in no time.

[@ashleykaye6926]

??When is your next live? I have questions... Lol I love this!! Thank you so much for showing me how to do this!!

[@marycousino4820]

I would like to know how to remove a dishwasher and is there anything special to do if I am not replacing it. Thanks Tom

[@joywingfield708]

Yes! Make sure you're buying a faucet that fits the hole configurations of your sink. We recently bought a new sink and new faucet, kind of in a hurry, and did not pay attention to that detail.

[@glendaw5221]

How can we help boost your numbers? I always hit like.

[@klmjtr]

😃

[@bettyreagan1222]

Tom Thank you!! You saved me money already. God bless you really good.

[@valeriechaffins4638]

Installing towel bars would be helpful. 😊

[@lizzabbott]

YES PLEASE !

[@joyceschetter5871]

Another great instructional video. I ran into problems with the shutoff valves. The plumber had to cut them and install new. So as much as I wanted to change the faucets myself I needed a plumber. He replaced 7 faucets! I’m curious as to what you have planned for us tomorrow!!

[@jaiedee7568]

Great video. We have a toilet that keeps running, just a small amount but wasting water. I was wondering if you could show the parts inside the cistern that might need replacing
