major water leak from first floor toilet

[@richards5843]

My dad retired in 1990 at 59 and I would keep him busy when I was building my new home. He would work around my house keep the yard up and when the house was finish he would do the landscaping and plant the grass seed and got my grass growing then he and my mom would do some traveling. He was always busy until he passed away at 90.

[@ClickinChicken]

Your truck is awesome. It reminds my of my Dad's garage, where I used to live. Drawers of stuff galore and tools! Great jobs Steve! 1/2 way through.

[@gregspot]

I'm not even a tech and I enjoyed spending over 49 minutes of my life watching the fixing of a leaky toilet. I have a degree in computer science and yet these things fascinate me. What is wrong with me.

Its the content creater man, hes too good. Im sure if somebody else did it, it wouldn't be that interesting. :P

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

@jaysenp7083 yeah steve is great. All the phrases he comes up with damsel in distress mama. It's a shit show mama. She's a leaker mama. Miss Molly. His channel name should be steve lamonviere and Miss Molly plumbing & HVAC. My favorite is Give it the ol How you doing ?? 😅😅😅😅😅 he’s great

While the two fields of interest are different in contextuality both requires a systematic methodological approach to problem solving to produce a successful outcome. Learning to critically think in one area of life should because of transference allows one to achieve similar results in other areas of life. The more dots/pixels in the picture of live the better clarity of the pictorial view of the Totality of Reality.

Cuz most people think trade jobs are easy, nothing easy

[@jayclark5912]

Learned to cut the funnel out of the wax ring from good ol steve lav. Put in a delta as joe homeowner. 2 years later no probs. Fixed this same problem for my friend. His was just bad wax ring. Saved him bucks. He should thank Steve too. This one was a good video.

I lost 40+ lbs recently. If I go to my highest weight, then I've lost 70 lbs. I avoid all the processed foods. I would eat Ramon noodles, because it was quick and cheap dinner. I made a huge meal with mostly veggies. Then I would add fish, shrimp, and chicken. I would add veggies, that has lot of water content. The meals were similar to what Steve would do.. everything in one big pot. I measured everything out in 1 cup scoops and I bought meal preparation containers from Amazon. It came out to 24/1 cup meals. I go the gym 7 days a week and swim for 2 hours and since it's getting cold outside, I walk around the gym, instead of outside. My Brother-in-law went from 350 lbs to 215 lbs. If he can lose weight, then I could lose weight.

Great job. My old American Standard toilets used a sponge gasket. When it leaked, I attempted to use wax. It just would not seal. Even with a double wax gasket, still leaked. Ended up going with an OEM sponge gasket and it worked.

[@TedCookHVAC]

Fun to hear the conversations with customers !!

[@jchambers2586]

Pretty cool that you're a fan of Steve I like your KZbin videos.

[@J-Colt]

That was a rough one Steven! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidbrennan5]

I enjoy the drive over to the job, thank you for turning the camera on this time.

[@picklerix6162]

I’ve had bad luck with those brass rod flush handles. There was a retired plumber working at Lowes and he said that the plastic handles actually last longer. He also said that the metal rod handle should last longer but the connection of the rod to the exterior part of the handle always seems to fail. I installed that plastic handle over ten years ago and it hasn’t failed.

[@OBdaIII]

Man that was a job from hell! Great work like always.

[@jeepwild5772]

Steve you should spray or have sprayed the underside of your new truck. I’ve been using woolwax now for years on my 2017 Silverado, no rust whatsoever. Just a thought since it’s a nice new truck.

[@billwhite9890]

Nothing easy. Hi to Miss Molly

[@kevinkotchevar2339]

Tech tip mama put plumbers grease on handle where it pivots works

[@Gman2930]

You were eatin shit sandwiches on this one, Steve. Gotta be a PIA job every now and again!! Never a dull moment. You did a nice job for the guy.

[@johnwalker890]

Great job Steve, You worked hard that day.Toilet job from hell.

Sloppy holes Good fix Stevie Boy ... Thx for your time posting these

[@frankjames1955]

you see the guys built in drain on the toilet its an easy flow , it dont make sharp hard turns that impede flow and get things clogged , thats a bonus

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Good Job and Nice Work. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend ^_^

[@JavierGalvan-s2f]

Dang Steve, you covered all aspects before finding the problem! Great video though, keep them coming 👍 👏 👌

[@JohnPhillips-ev4wj]

I carry a 2 inch and a 3 inch Kohler tower on my truck, haven't had to use one yet. They are pretty cheap at Lowe's,I get Kohler handles at my supplier,every Kohler toilet has a different handle,bullshit. They drive me crazy😅😅that chlorine tablet in the rank isn't helping anything either 😮

[@joerosado86]

Good enough for that neighborhood Glad you gave it the how you doing mama Nice job

[@jayclark5912]

38:06 is about when I would lose my shit for about 15 min. Then power through and finish the job.

[@sammax4245]

Steve, why don't you use impact driver?

[@josianrodriguez1249]

YOU ARE THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

[@ntsecrets]

He’s got one of those Clorox pucks in there. They work great but eat the gaskets up bad after a while.

[@chuckquinn8026]

Could also be an Iron Out puck for iron stain removal

[@anthonymacolini2609]

Should tell him to get rid of those ,cleaning tablets in the toilets to .Those ruin the parts in the toilet.

[@cndream1]

Any consideration to use a couple of PVC toilet flange extension / repair rings. To raise the original flange face ?

[@Mr572u]

If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

[@johnsutherland6322]

That one broke your ass Steve lol

[@tedparkman3111]

Quality is down on everything today. Disposable technology and disposable toilets.

[@PRO4XKEV]

Someone doing the Funky chicken on the toilet. lol

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!!1 thanks

[@skiprope536]

Steve you are a gem

[@craigharding475]

Back in the day, doctors used to say that smoking was actually GOOD for you! I`ll just leave it at THAT!

[@njphilwt]

First hand experience: Get rid of the belly, and the snoring will go with it. It works!

[@mikeg3888]

those Clorox tablets in the tank will corrode those gaskets away to nothing unless you use a chemical resistant one. I learned that the hard way

[@jeffdickens7019]

Steve some of these plumbing jobs turn into a nightmare from hell what is up with all the plumbing parts in AC parts and furnace parts everything is junk now

[@themayorofairconditioning2868]

Really really great video

[@coltonthiesfeld2320]

I agree with you on what you said about cigarettes 🚬 I have a bad habit on it I even chewed gum but I have a bad hand coronations it makes me want to smoke them again on & off but I don’t smoke heavy like some people do.

[@ClickinChicken]

I have a problem like that, i think. I used recip to cut off toilet flange and hit the pvc pipe.. I put new one in and taped slit. Now I have a mystery line in 1st floor bath below. ha Too scared to remove ceiling tiles Mamma! Like an Ostrich. 😀

[@bullmoosepiper7732]

Kohler used to make a great toilet back in the day. They'd suck a turd 5 feet long down the drain without an issue and the parts would stand up to a lot of usage, wear & tear over time. Kohler Wellworths are all I'd put in. But they are garbage now. Total garbage. They've overcomplicated a very simple design with this high efficiency low water flush garbage. The parts are cheaply made but are stupid expensive to replace if you go for genuine OEM Kohler parts. Lots of better toilets out there today.

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, nice fix on that flange. Just never know when a simple fix turns into shit show!

[@mikepottes]

Apple Watch Ultra 2 newest version. keeps track of your sleep, your snoring Quality of your sleep but the funny thing is it keeps track of your farts. Woke up one morning and it was at 92 it only goes to a hundred. I should check if that's a Guinness book record. 😂

[@DAS-Videos]

How come Steve wears gloves. I can't figure it out.

[@briankriz5271]

That toilet needed more then wax, it needed a little how ya doing.

[@ReparadorAficionado]

That was a hard one, mama.

[@wirenutjoe]

The ole band aid trick didn’t work did it

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

STEVE - do you think it’s worth converting my steam heat to hot water. I’m not getting heat in 1 room. Very frustrating, because it used to be the hottest room

[@jo6520]

I hate that everything went wrong for you, but made for an interesting video

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@mbeniflah1]

Always test the toilet before spending that time tightening and cutting the bolts

[@zackmax7184]

I sleep in My Recliner. My sleep Apnea Machine made My Head feel like it was going to explode, so I gave it back to them. They wouldn't adjust it either.

[@skiprope536]

This is why you just can’t fook around. Cut it out…replace it. Blocking for the flange screws..flange spacers for on top of the floor. Small wax ring. Next.

[@paulradice3534]

Toilets can be very simple & sometimes a real can of worms. Nothing like wrestling a good toilet

It's a pile of Kohler, steve

How do you know when your in deep sleep when you are sleeping?

Actually extremely common

She was leaker mama 😅😅😅

[@rigobravo0216]

I noticed something you don't do when installing toilets and want to give you a tip. When putting the johnny bolts to the flange make sure to put a washer and nut to secure your johnny bolts from moving when putting down the toilet. I install toilets for a living. It will make your life easier when installing a toilet.

[@afrojojo9475]

Boy you sure taught him a thing or two. He hasn't been doing this for a long time . Good thing you gave him this advice.

Alcohol is really terrible for you. Even a couple beers a day is no good. I had to quit cause I was pounding like 12 to 14 beers a day.
