Kitchen Makeover + PLUMBING ON CONCRETE (Ep.2)

[@adriansmith7104]

No mask? Ok champ

[@thatzWhyy]

Studs glued to slab should have been pressure treated and the vent needs to be no further than 3 feet from the inlet. You don't need permits to remodel your home but come on atleast do things up to code so the next guy doesn't have to fix all that shit

I'll be that guy. But if it gets one person to do it... Wear a respirator when sawing concrete. Inhaling that shit is no joke. And throw up some plastic to keep the dust from going all over. It goes EVERYWHERE. Just did my post tension slab to run from current micro spot to the island. Dust made its way upstairs and all the way down a hall 35 feet to the front of the house. Even used .4 poly to section off but the dust just lingers forever.

tip on the plumbing, put the cleanout plug above the combo for easier service of drain cleaning. with it being below youd have to suck out or drain out that entire horizontal branch from the sink to below the cleanout cap. next time put your combo below the cleanout

[@cameronbragg3612]

Shouldn't you use a treated bottom plate on that pony wall since it's on a concrete slab?

Your hot and cold under your sink are backwards!

[@JimFrye1]

I noticed that too

[@nutter4butter]

he’s dumb why are you surprised

[@williamcawthra3466]

Was the drain plumbing already set in place before you began this project? I will be tackling the same exact job in my house here pretty soon and was curious to know how you located the drain plumbing under the existing slab. I was thinking of using a thermal probe and just dumping a considerable amount of boiling water down the existing wall sink.

[@j.v.623]

First time watching you. Liked your show but gas partner saw indoors is a NO bud. Be safe and good fortune.

[@cailinmelton6169]

I was just curious how you were going to secure drywall to the studs along the wall with the pot filler since you are not able to screw into those metal plates? Are you going to cut away a little more drywall underneath and secure a slightly larger piece of drywall underneath those plates since there are water lines and electrical?

[@Tekniques25]

you will hang a larger piece and just put your screws around the strike plates you only need a screw every 8 inches

[@bpatriquin123]

Very interested to see how the AAV works in the kitchen! I’ve heard from friends who’ve installed them that they wear down and smell dank after a few years. Smart idea to build the access door!

It’s plumbing code for any AAV valve to accessible

260 Dollar for 4 hours? That is quiet expensive... here in germany you can rent a Hammer like you User for 60 Euro (roughly 60 dollar) for 4 hours at Obi (german home depot), but i have to admit, i dont the rate for a watercooled cutterthing ( dont know the english word) ... anyway nice video

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Wet Saw for short. Some call it a hand concrete saw, masonry cut-off saw. Many names but mostly wet saw. Stay safe out there besttab!!!

[@josephlieberman3027]

Believe it or not to remove the chunks or gravel that was created from breaker hammer, you can use the larger sized shop vac, i use the large diamater hose then a smaller diameter hose tube with matching straight extension section, aso i wrap the filter with my latest diy modification (im not buying overpriced under quality). As i vacuum i use my fingers to catch zhe largest pieces before they get sucked in,,, If the hose clogs , i quickly just disconect the narrower tube end, rocks fall away on the before they can ever jam the larger tube, .

[@donnygrahambuilds]

Nice work m'man! So cool seeing this kitchen slowly coming together. I also really like how you're filming the steps/videos. You're making it clear that this isn't a quick 'weekend project', this crap takes a good amount of time, but if you keep at it and put in some work, it can be done! Keep the vids coming A.M.!

[@boyasaka]

I bought a brand new electric concrete saw and electric jam hammer, brand new for less than your rental charge And I thought USA prices for tools were less than uk

[@mecseymason4299]

If you would’ve cut 1 or 2 more lines in that channel you wouldn’t need a jack hammer just a small pry bar and hammer to chip it out. SMH lol

[@brucestorey917]

You said you are “properly vented”, but you are not. The distance from the vent to the trap is too long. You should have put the AAV under the sink and you would have been ok.

Please wear a mask when cutting concrete :) The fine dust is REALY bad for the lungs.

He was a respiratory therapist before KZbin. Guess he forgot his education.

[@Hastings_Farm]

Great video and thank you. Is the purpose of the water for cooling the cutting blade or for controling the dust created. I note you did not wear a mask and presumably the reason was that there was no dust.

[@jaerothstein3362]

Everything looked good but emt should not be buried it rust n rots faster rmc or imc or blue smurff or pvc is all acceptable but emt shouldn't be buried

[@joeskewes9618]

Strange you guys don’t have a main shit off for the water inside the house if your in an area that gets snow it’s wise to put a main shut off inside the house just in case you can’t get the one outside durning the winter in case of emergency. And it’s just more convenient

Great job and clever idea to use the thermal camera to see the right place for the channel to cut... But $260 for 4 hours rental of a consaw and a jack hammer? Dude! Just for comparison, here in Ireland a consaw is $45 for 24 hour rental and a jack hammer about $50. Your rental places prices are on the high side I'd say.

[@MartFinds]

You did that with ease! How much would you charge for a smalled job. Cut the slab and extend the sink plumbing 5 ft and then recover? 3600 estimate I got seemed sketch!

[@msk7808]

Why it ended so fast 😕😓😭

[@danbeeson9564]

Trying to figure out why you didn’t asphyxiate with that gas saw running indoors! I understand the temptation to do it, I haven’t seen electric electric saw that even comes close to the speed. Safety aside, you have no dust control and spreading exhaust fumes all over your customers furniture. Not sure how that’s ever going to get out of the house. Also seems like you had to cut through some rebar in that process that you did not repair. Good thing it wasn’t a post tension slab

[@esspresso_depresso]

[@westsidewhf_9844]

Should have used pvc, EMT will rust and corrode in concrete, idk about where you are but here that’s against code and a big noo noo, also you’d need to ground the emt itself

[@michaelsims4902]

Looks good. The only thing I wouldn't do is glue the trap onto the ABS waste line. Instead I would dry fit a small piece of ABS pipe with a rough in cap on it. The trap itself would not be installed until the cabinet is installed. This allows for clean hole cut in the cabinet back board.

[@brandonrootsaert1213]

Galvanized emt(electrical metallic conduit)with set screw couplings was the wrong choice please use pvc next time. Emt in direct contact with earth has a limited shelf life. Eventually that conduit will rust and collapse. Not to mention direct burial for emt is not listed in the NEC code. Also set screw couplings are not water tight (also are not listed for direct burial). Water will eventually seep into the pipe and deteriorate the wire and the wire will fail and could cause a hazard for safety.

[@kyleoliva2411]

Lol that's what I just said I walked in and my wife was watching the video, and I said is that guy putting emt in the ground, surely that's rigid, and then I saw the couplings and I laughed? That's a no no, unless they came out with a new style of set screw rigid couplings and u threaded 90s, it's definitely emt not rmc.

[@timothysroot82]

You really should wear a mask when you are cutting or chipping concrete. Silicosis is some nasty stuff from what I hear

[@djdalite]
