[@michaelnotigan7796]

I absolutely love the back and forth between Steve and this homeowner. Great stuff! Lotsa wisdom in there, too!

[@jersal873]

Or how he’s dealing with water hose and guy telling some story and Steve doesn’t care…he just says again how the handle wasn’t tight while guy in mid sentence of his story 😂

[@nickc7494]

Old school ethics and brains, you are a rare breed my friend keep it up.

[@christopherconwell7271]

Steve says " I know your type!, wearing your underwear for 2 weeks just to save a dime." 😅😂😢 I haven't laughed that loud in a long long time.

[@iliketakingshowers]

No way he said that 😂😂😂 what's the time stamp Edit found it 12:09 😂😂😂

[@crispuloguerrero9266]

You’re funny 😂 always entertaining and fun to see you doing the best of your work while having a blast with your customers/friends I love it 😂

[@kc0eks]

I always love your honest feedback and talks with customers. I'm always amazed they take it so well, but the world needs more honesty anyway

[@josephchiavetta6361]

I’ve worked on the same dorn bracht $6000 faucet a couple times with a diverter issue replaced everything (including angle stops)and sometimes you gotta come to the conclusion some shit is just fancy garbage that never works good

[@timothyjerry1177]

“You pay peanuts you get monkeys” 😂👍🏼

[@kevinsavard5998]

Steve is a riot and it's fun listening to the banter. Cape accent too makes me miss my relatives.

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, so enjoy the give and take with your customers!!

[@WeatherEnthusiast]

I saw the sink and thought it could be the lead in to a good Cooking with Steve episode. We need some cooking films.

[@johncarcamo6772]

what about the chickens

[@shaunscott7803]

I love how you give it to him!! See it all the time in the field, our company might cost more, but rest assure, it’s done right!!

[@johncarcamo6772]

Not always the case

Anytime you hear a guy use the word "trousers", you know he's old school!!

[@bindig1]

You can't blame people for trying to save a buck but as they say, you get what you pay for. It happens in every line of service. It's human nature. Luckily there are guys like Steve that know what they're doing to come to the rescue

[@DAS-Videos]

The homeowner better call and have that coil plate addressed if he wants the boiler to last more than a few years. The bolts must have been loose. If I saw the condition of that I would think it was 25 years old.

[@smalltownMainer]

here in maine we had snow by halloween, but its gone now for now.

[@peacefrog0521]

Same here in Michigan- snowed the evening of Halloween. I still had 47 kids show up.

[@Hubjeep]

1:31 Speaking of business, my friend is an electrician. I was shocked (no pun intended) at how low his business insurance is, less than insuring a car! I assumed it was going to be a crap-load. How is plumbing insurance?

[@josephlowman7906]

Depends what you do gas and propane and depending how much coverage you need and how many trucks.

[@Skarmy762]

The NFPA says you can have an oil supply line coming off of the top of a basement oil tank. If you pull oil from the top of the tank there might be a chance the pump pulls less slime and sludge through the filter.

[@kennylavay8492]

Better to have the oil supply down at the bottom to empty the sludge from the tank, that is what the filter is for . change every year or two.

[@Skarmy762]

All of the sludge and slime that doesn't pass the filter will be pulled into the supply line and the pump, then eventually the draw assembly. I've seen it way too many times with underground/basement tanks this year alone. What's worse is that the condensation/water goes straight down to the bottom.@@kennylavay8492

[@HobbyOrganist]

Guy probably bought the cheapest oil he could find letting his fingers do the walking in the yellow pages, the crappy oil they delivered wa probably 5 cents a gallon cheaper than the other places he called, same story with the boiler- he went with the cheapest everything, so he got the pipe installed in front of the swing-out door so the installer saved $2 not having to install 2 elbows LOL

[@williamgibb5557]

Never shop by price but by service, quality and respect. This has always worked for me. And yes , sometimes the higher price is junk because you overpaid. Do your research and enjoy the outcome.

[@craigsmith6446]

Well he came back to you that says a lot!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I need my customers to trust me. If they can't trust me that I'm giving them the right price to do have me do the job than I'm not interested in working for a person like that. All my customers are referrals and repeat customers who trust me and this goes both ways.

[@ClickinChicken]

People are lucky having you. Enjoy the conversational piece. not the obligatory spam calls though! Have a goodin' buddy! 😄

[@matthewedwardsnyder]

You are the best man!

[@jeanclaudevandam4974]

Wow. That tank less leak is pretty crusty😮 not good for a new boiler.

[@Hubjeep]

8:42 Is that bio stuff a MA thing? Here in NY we still have ULSD. Filters still nice and clean.

[@DAS-Videos]

In NY they can't call it #2 heating oil if it is biodiesel. They have to call it B and a number. B2 or B5. So NY and NJ are good for the time being, we get the good stuff.

[@gocubsgo5055]

Elizabeth warren flying around in helicopters from one of her houses to another😂😂

[@paulroggemann1017]

Biodiesel does not have the crud in it. The ultra low sulfur diesel will dissolve the hard sludge that has accumulated in the bottom of storage and vehicle tanks over the years. Often a small amount of biodiesel is added to the ultra low sulfur to replace the lubricity that the sulfur provided. With enough filter changes, the problem will eventually go away.

[@HobbyOrganist]

The home owner probably bought the CHEAPEST oil he could find from some shady outfit who probaby had it stored in dirty tanks and who knows

[@clydemcghee5631]

​@@HobbyOrganist, sorry that's not the way it works in the northeast. All the oil comes from the same place and the oil in those tanks gets replenished regularly.

[@donrummerfield2903]

Hey Steve I hope you tried that drink with cinnamon sticks, ginger root,and lemons it really works

[@mikemaid5350]

Steve is great.

[@lindajames5065]

Hey Steven and Molly😊👍🏻good job👍🏻 Texas Lady

[@alexlindekugel8727]

hmm just 2 wells for geo? usally need 4 to 6 wells least 100 ft deep to have enuff area to get good heat. sound like that guy got screwed hard lol. bulk fuel should have a biocide treatment any ways as and fuel oil sits itll break down. i can atest that the bioside does stop that from happaning.

[@DAS-Videos]

Homeowners have to get in the habit of looking at their appliances and catch problems before they become disasters, like this boiler has become.

[@DAS-Videos]

From my experience, people should never get a tankless coil. They should get an indirect water tank and have it as a separate zone. It's a lot more money but easy to maintain and easy to replace. Taking apart a tankless coil after it rusts is a major job. Steve would never take on fixing that 3 year old boiler's coil. But I bet he would replace an indirect water heater.

[@themayorofairconditioning2868]

Great video

[@modeman69]

What kind of boiler is this? Is this for heating? It’s not a steam boiler is it?

[@andrewgray2245]

Hydronic. It's a water boiler for copper fin baseboard hearers most likely. It pumps hot water instead of steam.

[@georgsondermann9671]

How come you didn't change or clean the strainer? How come you never do a combustion test to get your customer the best combustion?

[@Dsks7310]

Try telling the insurance company you did it by eye when the boiler soots up. Never changes the strainer, never checks pump pressure, never does a combustion test.

[@terryglass5390]

I don’t know I didn’t look at it. It’s your job. 😂

[@hamradio365]

What kind of camera and edit software do you use???

[@george420]

Don't feel too bad Steve. I'm 35 yrs old and I can't even get up without using my hands. Though I'm an amputee and the only big toe I have is fake. So considering that a long with being out of shape. Don't make it any easier.

[@craigharding475]

My right hip is so bad that I can`t get up or down w/o using my hands. I feel for you, friend! I get so frustrated at waiting rooms that use chairs with no ARM RESTS-- (A 72 yo.).

[@jlupien502]

Haha Steves calling the guy cheap while he's been wearing the same blue gloves for 3 weeks lol

[@bruceorourke5432]

What do you charge for a cleaning about oil for residential boiler I've been clean for every year

[@jblyon2]

Time & material

[@izzydizzy1115]

A dollar three eighty is the going price for years!

[@ladycountdown]

Is that rust from using dissimilar metals?

[@DAS-Videos]

No, it is from water leaking. It must have been leaking from the day it was installed. Since the boiler is hot there is no accumulated water to see, it steams off the metal. Probably $2,000 job to fix it. Or he can put the 2k towards a new boiler.

[@WeatherNut27]

Btw.. I make noises when I get up from the floor and Im only 50. Lmao. Aging is tough!

[@biker55555]

50 you did good! started making noises after 40 here. I'm scared hitting 50. People think they'll live forever. Aging is not tough, it's a curse. But you will meet retards claiming it's a blessing because you got to an old age. Okay, so you survived, but hell, it ain't a blessing!

Howdy Steve and Molly

[@gettogo0159]

Howdy Prof steve & super fluffy Miss molly........ I have say this : go cheap pay twice 😉 Yet many people still fall for the same time worn trap of looking only at the money not the length of service of the item at hand + annal services costs. Just like people that get Combi boilers & think that they can save money to off set the cost & not think about the extra servicing cost year on year to only go bite the dust in less in 10yrs still debt from the first install yet pay out even more for second that going to last less time sinking deeper in trouble. If they stayed with a tried & tested system not eco friendly it be bigger up front cost but longer by many years lasting! Can you tell the fools? Nope!

[@peacefrog0521]

I remember this guy! “The Dude”. Or “Chong”. Whatever.

[@mattblah7737]

Any young plumbers watching Steve better take note. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON NONSENSE. You need to be able to say No to any employer/potential customer that wants to be cheap with you. You need to be able to say "No. Goodbye." at the drop of a hat. Knowing you have 6 months to a year of expenses saved up is a superpower.

[@josephlivoti8143]

How's it going Steve?

[@pets7164]

Steve, if you brought miss Molly to the vet for an ear infection,And the vet noticed her paw was bleeding Wouldn’t you want at the vet take care of it and also tell you. What about that Corrosion issue?

[@TR-ut3yh]

Im dying to know his gas mileage on that new stepvan. Looking at one for my electrical business

[@kennylavay8492]

Just guessing it probably around 14 miles per gallon on a good week. with mostly down hill driving.

[@rayjackson4547]

Were can you get excellent boiler service, medical advice and dietary advice at the same time. I assume you will be back to change out that rusted tankless. I hate them they all rust out and make the boiler look like crap.

[@pb7379-j2k]

Faucet made in Japan, is that supposed to be an insult? That country has produced some of the finest electronics and automobiles ever. I’d buy their faucet

[@ryanarborist]

Clients have no idea why cost is what it is. Ive never changed an estimate if they didnt accept it. These are the worst people to work for because once they smell blood in the water it's a constant nickel and dime game to them. Ive lost a few clients from this but Ive never lost money on the jobs Ive done. I usually tell them to read my Google reviews and check my certifications, that doesnt cost anything.

[@Berzerk29]

My boiler is 7 years old and looks like it did the day it was installed. Hard tp believe that boiler is only 3 years old.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ his installer must have been blind

[@HobbyOrganist]

The installer saved $2 by omitting two elbows to clear the door, looks just like a landlord I had in the 80s in NYC who replaced a defective fire sprinkler valve with a piece of pipe because the valve cost more, all was fine until the day a 3" riser froze, cracked and thawed and the 100 psi water camr out like a full open fire hydrant in MY loft on the top floor, the water flooded all 5 floors and filled the basement, it was running for at least 12-14 hours before another very old valve was found under the sidewalk belo a grate in the floor on the ground floor and it took 3 firemen to turn the valve handle off.
