    Good ole Jeff is making the amateurs feel better about monkeying their DIY projects. Best channel on YouTube.
  • @justina208
    I get my mail at Home Depot now. Just saves time. I think I went 5 times last weekend.
  • @user-es7vl1ik6r
    Potable water lines generally use CPVC (higher max temp. They are more of an off-white color than pure white). Regular clear PVC cement isn't recommended with CPVC and you should usually use yellow/gold instead (as you can see from the old fittings).
  • @user-kk7dp4kk4v
    I love it! Jeff shows you the misshapes and everything is not perfect! Hands down one of my favorites to watch! Thanks for sharing Jeff!
  • @ShayBelladonna
    I’ve missed these omg I can’t wait till summer to get back to full on renovations
  • @mrstee2u767
    Danngg Jeff! I just bought a house 5days ago and this is the EXACT thing I need to do. This is even the exact kind of tub I have and the kind I'm changing it to....Ur soooo ON TIME & TARGET with this video!! THANKS from Baltimore.
  • @caldwell001
    Every time you manhandled the cpvc my heart dropped knowing that it would snap in any second. Cpvc will snap in a heartbeat, becomes brittle over time.

    That piece of insulation moving around in the breeze when you were plumbing the faucet looked like a giant critter that was about to jump out at you.
  • Great videos mate, I'm a sparkie in Aus and the Bosch holesaws are twice as quick as that hole saw, they have spring loaded pins, simply pull back shank, spin the hole saw on and let go the pins automatically pin the hole saw from tightening on the shank and it doesn't cover the grub screw for the arbour. Try the Bosch mate, you won't regret it, I go through a kit every year and these are the only one that lasts the year.
  • @cooperw22
    Fun tip: With hole saws.. when drilling into plastic.. even on small plastic electrical box.. go in reverse.. Perfect every time! Thanks guys. Keep up the good work.
  • @andrewlupton2120
    The "one fitting short" problem. Happens to everyone. Even when I buy more than I need, figuring I'll take back the extra bits after I'm done, I still fall one fitting short, one copper crimp ring short, etc. Also, I often get busy and forget to take back the extras!
  • @fudgesmonkey
    Actual rats are visible through the hole in the floor at 42:20 - glad you got to this property before they had a chance to chew it all up!
  • @cttravels5244
    Classic Thurman. Classic practical advice and common sense. Perfect, every time!
  • @Bullfrog0382
    First-time commenter here. Idk why because I love your videos. Anywho, dont go buy a can opener... just knock the sides of them glue caps with your handy anything and they'll open right up. Your shattering the dried glue, in turn making it easier to open. I know a guy who has three girls and an amazing Mom (RIP) that showed him that little trick years ago to help open his little girls nail polish. Keep up the good work man. 👏
  • @andrewlupton2120
    Good tip on the hole saw kit. I've got the Crappy Tire version (Canadians will know what I mean). When it gets wedged together .... it's a bugger to get apart. I always manage to do it but sometimes I have to lock it into a vice, put a pipe wrench on it, etc. For a homeowner ... it's tolerable but it would drive a contractor nuts.
  • @cjplay2
    Exactly the inspiration video I needed. Thank you!
  • @MikeMohawk
    I was amazed at how many different kinds and sizes and whatnot you have with couplers. And the combined possibilities those create of getting the wrong ones XD These days I come prepared and half a whole container filled with an assortment of them on the jobsite!
  • @MargaretBouse
    This is a fantastic how-to! Exactly our next project!
