Back in the days of television you would be famous.

genuinely love this guy and his attitude, he makes the most daunting asks simple and gives u the confidence to try it urself. Cheers Jeff!

I do love the information and all the amazing knowledge, but watching you fight with that pipe..... priceless :D

Maybe add a laundry drain, a backflow preventer check valve(code in many places), and a floor drain for high-efficiency furnace condensate/ hot-water tank relief valve blow off, etc., to your basement mock-up. Excellent channel and content.

I just got thrown into the plumbing department at Lowe’s because I knew how to do sprinkler work and I’ve been struggling to learn how to not seem like a window licker to the customers who come in. Been watching ALOT of your stuff and it’s helped a ton. Thank you

give this man a golden globe award

My neighbor had a total plumbing disaster last week. He's fixing it now and told me so far he spent around 12k. I can't watch the premiere but I'll be watching your video when you upload it. Cheers!!

Your ability to paint a mental picture... Thank you.

Great episode! Learned a lot, even though I have been doing DIY plumbing for 30 years. My vent stack story: Years ago had a two-story house in Minnesota. There was one small gap in the wind-break trees to the north-west. About once per winter, we would get a storm that came in from just the right direction -- it would drop 8 inches of snow on the roof, and the warm moist air coming up the vent stack would freeze into a soft-ball size ball of ice. The next morning, when the air is about -15F and the wind is still blowing, I am climbing the ladder with a hockey stick to knock the ice off so that the sewer would vent again.

I don’t even have a house yet and I watch both his channel from the beginning and I can’t stop it’s just so good 😊 😇😊

It’s called a P-trap because p is short for pneumatic. So it could also be called a gas trap or air trap. Now I feel proud that I was able to teach you something Jeff.

Loved this series I learned so much.. can't wait for the next one

Watching you struggle with the Fernco made me laugh. Been there! Done that!

There is no one I feel like following as you have some back to get the right concept come through. May God up there keep you and family safe, healthy and prosperous.👍

I have built a house all on my own except for the brickwork and have renovated several homes. However, I have learned a few things from this video that will be invaluable on my upcoming renovation. Thanks for those tips!

You have delivered so much value in one video. Thank you 🙏

The music when you were fighting to get the fitting on... Love it! 😂 Awesome video, once again! Thanks Jeff!
