Progressing nicely. Be proud....

[@ryanzynda5114]

The plumbing for the house is looking awesome.

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@markcaldwell1245]

Great job, inspection time is always exciting.

[@barbaraharrold5361]

It’s getting very exciting :) tfs:)

[@milesharlan1]

Andrew. Looking good. One suggestion: the clean out you just showed. It would be nice if you brought it up vertically. It would be flush with the top of the ground. You put a cover over it & it will blend in w the grass. It will be easier with clean out machine to clean out the drain....Keep up the good work. See you soon on your next video 🙂

[@agirlandhercows501]

oh wow things are looking so good

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@lotus....]

Looks good so far! We bought 16 acre property up in the panhandle with all kinds of crazy outbuildings (barns, shops, brick garage w mechanic bay, 2 deep wells, 2 ponds, etc) that we are gonna be fixing up. We wanted to start completely from scratch and live in an RV for awhile- while we build but these big buildings were worth as much as the property. It has a 4bd mobile with an add on but completely needs fixing up. So now the plan is to build a decent house and get rid of the mobile once we are done. There's another 1bd/1ba house on the property as well. Glad for the cooler weather coming up. We will need it!!

[@TKCL]

Sounds awesome! Enjoy fixing your property up and appreciate the journey.

[@TrustingJesus67]

With such a big laundry list, you should have clean clothes for a while....oh things to do on the house. It's looking like things are coming together for you fast and furious. Keep your head up and clear, because it sounds like a fast ride coming...God Bless

[@graypaschal4769]

Do pressure test PVC or CPVC with air. Potential for brittle fracture.

[@graypaschal4769]

Do not…

[@TKCL]

Water it is!

[@jeremiahs45]

Instead of a heat lamp. Maybe look at a self regulation heat tape for the outside hook up. They can be cut to length too.

[@TKCL]

Never seen that, sounds neat!

[@markcaldwell1245]

That is a great point. We use it all the time for HVACR applications on drain lines. They have a little temp controllers that when it gets to 35° or whatever temp you want it will turn on. You wrap it around the pipe depending on how much heat you need. Just add it to you list of yearly maintenance testing and all is good.

[@TKCL]

I like it!

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

Another option could have been, if you want to gain wallspace back, instead of a whole wall fir out, frame in a small shower seat to allow the pipes to move over. It's probably too late to change now, but keep the idea in a notebook so to speak if you ever encounter the situation again.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

When it comes to plumbing...I know enough to get myself in trouble. If you want to see a mess, watch me solder a copper line. Plumbers make it look so easy.

[@TKCL]

They earn their money no doubt.

[@paulajones9956]

Things are really coming together, Wow that's awesome

[@briansmith5235]

Pool noodles are good for line hammering to. You can cut to size and will help if you have freezing during the winter

[@billybrown1979]

i say chap good plumbing. now you can barbie que some steaks or some fish and chips. be bless. have a aussie time. savannah tn.

[@mr_jake.y8348]

You can make it 1/2 " CPVC pipe

[@mfd4505]

Looking at the soil around your meter location, grounding will be fun. I bet you will have to use 2 ground rods to get 25 Ohms or less. And that is the minimum. And you have to space them more than 6’ apart. So keep that in mind. Just noticed that with you doing the trenching.

[@TKCL]

That was hauled in dirt, about 2ft down is our normal hard packed sand/clay mixture. Inspector requires two rods a minimum of 6ft apart no matter what the resistance.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Andrew! I am always excited to see the next step in the building of your dream home. You are a good problem solver. Clever fix in the bathroom.

[@apollorobb]

Something i notice that you missed or didn't show is adding Nailing space for drywall to the wall adjacent to the one you furred out .Excellent video

[@TKCL]

The top and both corners have nailers. I showed one side wall in this video.

[@TKCL]

I lied to you, that's in today's episode 😬

[@Iamclaudiamarie]

Yeah Andrew! You saw, you thought, you fixed, you scored! Congrats for not letting this stop you. Stay safe.

[@joebufford2972]

in a perfect world we will have 2x6 walls where any Plumbing is, but freeing out the walls an inch and a half will give you the wiggle room you need.

[@larryvisser1086]

You discovered what us old guys know because we made the same screw up in the past….. plumbing walls should always, always be a 2x6 minimum! On a smart ass note, my favorite comment on water heaters is you don’t need a hot water heater…… hot water is already hot. You need a cold water heater! Just messing with you. Looks great and keep up the good work! Wish I was closer to you. I’d come and do your tile work for free.

[@TKCL]

Man do I hear the hot water heater comments all the time! 🤦

[@kevindavis80]

I had to furr out my outside laundry room wall to make room for all the plumbing. Luckily it didn’t affect anything else, but it made everything fit nicely. Love seeing your progress, we have spray foamed and sheet rock is next week. Our windows are supposed to be here next week, finally. Keep up the good work.

[@TKCL]

Exciting stuff! I'm well behind you

[@DizTraveler]

oh hope you made room for your shower head and shower valve...again more blocking !!! As far as shower height its really up to you, personal preference...i have to say i wish i had 2 outputs...1 for a rainfall style head, and 1 normal/hand held. So, its really up to you, as tile installers work around where your shower pipe is...

[@jason27swg]

I'm 6'6" tall and going to a hotel sucks because I have to get on my knees to wash my hair. The rain head in our shower is awesome we absolutely love it

[@DizTraveler]

@@jason27swg I have it as well but wished it was able to hang above the shower, heck even if there were 2...8inx8in....making it 16in x 8in....

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Andrew, FYI, I just received another survey from KZbin. This one is regarding your video #200 that I have recently watched and asked 'What did I think of this video.' I gave it an excellent review. (Five stars out of five)

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much for the support!

[@mikeplacko8135]

I was a few videos behind; wish I could have made the suggestion earlier. Shower controls by the entry are becoming more standard, so you do not need to reach in and get showered with cold water when you turn it on. I have a shower that has the rain head and a separate handheld that is on a long bar that allows height adjustment plus a control that sets and remembers the temperature. None of it necessary of course, but it sure is nice up north were the ground water is 55 and the shower takes 5+ minutes to warm up.

[@cappleget]

Wow what great progress!! It hard to believe you’ve done all of it by yourself! Fantastic job Andrew!

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@TheSoloAsylum]

We'll be up on the St Johns river in a few weeks in the RV. I'm looking for that piece of ground that speaks to me. I'll find it. I've been looking into barndo's for a while now.

[@TKCL]

I've always wanted to go explore the St Johns

[@bobbycresap4440]

Woot can't wait for all these exciting things to happen. Loving this channel and you and your wife and dog.

[@TKCL]

Thank you for the support

[@jayzzz1234]

Can't wait for the BBQ

[@TKCL]

Me too!

[@arotundo1]

I’m sure you know they make a ice maker box/outlet for the fridge. Just going to stub it out behind the fridge?

[@TKCL]

That's the way I've always done it. I didn't know about the box. But my plumbing comes through the concrete, so I might not be able to install the box.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hello Andrew 😊 Sounds like the house is going into overdrive. Can't wait to see the next video because you've doing an incredible job. 👏👏👏

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@5150cash]

Keep up the great work 👍🏽. Let us know when we can start setting up our room. 😉

[@TKCL]

As soon as I get first and last months rent, plus security deposit. 😉

[@5150cash]

@@TKCL Chris is in charge of that 🤷🏽‍♂️. We only have Monopoly money 💰

[@TKCL]

We have a problem then! 🤔

[@garyingram875]

WOW That would of been a good area for pex tubing

[@jaycweingardt11]

8:40 Is the hammer arrestor the vertical pipe? The air in the pipe will dissolve into the water in 1 week and that will just be a wasted piece of pipe full of water that wont do anything. Need one of the copper hammer arrestors that look like a co2 cartridge. they have a bladder in them that separates the air and water.

[@TKCL]

That's it, I don't believe it dissolves as quickly as you think. Had these for decades in my last home and they seemed to work. All I have to do is drain my water system occasionally and refill. Fresh air enters the arrestors every time I do that.

[@jaycweingardt11]

@@TKCL 1:40 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPOdmN-nap7jLs

[@TKCL]

Can't say I disagree completely, but if you start searching plumbing forums and construction forums, you'll see all the negativity towards the mechanical version. Those seals leak by and eventually fail rendering them useless. Then the problem is a lot them are installed in a wall and not easily accessible. I will be installing whole house filters every two months, it's no problem to drain my water system in the process (which I already do to flush) and refill. This will constantly send air back to the DIY arrestors. Less moving parts is usually less prone to failure.

[@hendersonhow2andreview17]

Another good one!! Glad to be able to help. You do have to have shower valves installed for your rough in inspection. Unless your inspector let's you get by. I would suggest a diverter valve if your doing a rain shower head and a regular head and or wand. That way you only have 1 valve for on/off and temp. And another valve to select which head or heads you want going at once.

[@TKCL]

Thank you, dang I was hoping to avoid installing the valve until the tile guy can make it.

[@gregorythomas333]

@15:15 Andrew is going to BUST A CAP! lmao :)

[@JMJWill]

We need to start calling you the Great Houdini, after that maze of plumbing escape.🙏

[@gomerhondo7249]

Set your shower valve and head height at YOUR desired height. Tile guys do tile, NOT plumbing. Do NOT pressurize PVC (Brittle fracture = plastic grenadine) for long period of time. Water is OK, NOT AIR.

[@TKCL]

Even pressurized with water, air will be trapped at every dead end, hard to avoid that.

[@karaestes8275]

Love all u do and you should be so proud of your self u have kicked butt

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@casey6518]

Andrew, on the cleanout, most times the cap is point up instead of into the yard. Guess you leaving an hole in the yard around the end of the cleanout in case, I would have put an 90 elbow there with an cap jus about ground level till you expanded the house.

[@mikemiller5139]

I am watching "Keeping it Dutch" and they are building a house. It's a slab and frame out. They have no building codes or inspections. He hired a plumber to check his work before the concrete pour but no inspection. You build it how ever you want in that county in Oklahoma.

[@TKCL]

That's how a lot of rural places are in this country. We have hurricanes to tend with, so a lot more of our focus is on strength.

[@martyreiber8945]

Hi Andrew are you going to do a video on your septic tank just wondering I think you had mentioned it Looking good see you in the next video

[@TKCL]

Absolutely! I have a good friend that will be installing my whole system.

[@martyreiber8945]

@@TKCL Thank you

[@graypaschal4769]

Run the shower lines in the wall between the toilet. Then you can turn the shower on without getting in the shower. But what is done, is done.

[@TKCL]

That wall is more than meets the eye. Crazy framing and blocking to sturdy it up.

[@mike93lx]

Using sections of pipe as hammer arrestors is not recommended. Over time, the air will work out and they will fill with water, making them pointless. You can buy fittings designed to do what you want, which have a diaphragm in them

[@TKCL]

All you have to do is drain the water in the home and then they fill back up with trapped air. The mechanical arrestors have horrible reviews online and seem to have high failure rates. I would only use them outside of the wall.

[@mike93lx]

@@TKCL fair enough

[@Shawbonez]

As usual, lookin good! Drywallers are so efficient, that they make me look like a monkey in a mud puddle! I learned a long time ago, let them do the drywall! haha! Can't imagine back in the day with lathe and plaster...yikes! :D

[@memphman2004]

Just curious… why CPVC over Pex? Great job. I’ve watched every episode

[@TKCL]

The plumber who did my under slab septic also installed water lines without me realizing it. So I decided to use them.

[@kmassery]

I have missed a few videos, but why didn’t you use pex?

[@TKCL]

Watch today's video, I install some pex and explain the whole situation.

[@GardenLadyDeb]

Is your hvac system completed?

[@TKCL]

No, it can't be completed until insulation and sheet rock is done.

[@aliasfred]

Looks like "3 Stooges" solution....lol.

[@katieallen3927]

What’s the status on getting windows?

[@TKCL]

Met with another company today, will get money and time frame quote next week.

[@networkcrasher]

Why couldn't you just bring them up through the bottom plate of the stud cavity you wanted them in the first place? Why do they have to be with the drain/vent?

[@networkcrasher]

concrete, i'm an idiot. i thought this was on the second story for some reason haha

[@networkcrasher]

i also may, or may not, have been over served a few margaritas tonight. the world may never know

Lol

[@hrlee2381]

Make sure that the shower head is tall enough for Tiffany to enjoy a shower without bending over. Looking great.

[@TKCL]

It will be higher than normal

[@aoutdoors1414]

Why is it called rough in does that means your going to have to go back and do something else or is that just the term that is used? I'M sorry if i sound silly but i have no idea about house building and im curious.

[@TKCL]

Because it's not finalized. Roughly done, nothing at a finished state. That will be an additional inspection for electrical and final plumbing.

[@TKCL]

Rough ins are tested before they are covered up sheet rock/insulation.
