Greetings Roger
I cannot believe it was allowed to get that far.
I am an electrician and I am appalled at this dumpster fire.

I am a typical home owner/diyer. My son is a certified plumber. It wasn't until i asked him to do a few projects for me that i realized how much extra knowledge and skill goes into GOOD plumbing. Lol

The contractor is ultimately responsible to ensure all work is done correctly, and if he subs is out he is responsible for the work he contracted to get done. This is because the home owner contracted with the contractor to do the work to code so it is up to the contractor to ensure that it is.

[martincarreon]

as a licensed apprentice. we do not accept this guy as one of us.

The end of the video where your explaining how you would approach really highlights the fact you know your stuff ...it's like a second language to you...great video Rog

[aaronvandrei]

The plumber is obviously at fault here. But if the homeowner hired a contractor then it is on the contractor to pay for a new (real) plumber and everything that entails. The contractor can (and most likely will) go after this "plumber" on the back end.

[anthonyl]

that is i have been plumbing for 20 years. I just started a business this year and see alot of that type of work i get called in to fix

[hugoma]

As a plumber who works for a company extremely strict with quality and code this was sooo painful to watch

[truittlilly]

I'm a 4th year apprentice in my local 68 . And I've gotta say that home owner got screwed. Wow this guy does not know what the hell he is doing

[sleektoneofficial]

Wow i feel bad for that homeowner. Whoever it is learned something from it.

[Absaalookemensch]

In my lifetime experience, about half the plumbers that did work for me were horrible.
I'm an RN and I've asked a few plumbers and contractors if they wanted me to do the same quality of work on their child as they did for me. Their embarrassed face says it all.

[Ntynn]

This “plumber” and whoever hired him is in some deep sh*t. Easy lawsuit.

[Touspourun]

Man that is sickening to think that someone would do that. Im glad you found the guy and I'm at a loss for words on that whole situation. I hope the home owner gets some kind of closure on it. Keep on rocking Roger, there's always something to learn from your channel thanks for sharing.

Really fun thing about PEX is the giant skill gap you can notice in its application...

Gotta love those totally unsupported tub and shower pan...

Im surprised the loon used as much insulation as he did.

I'm not a licensed plumber...nope but I am a licensed mechanic with a bit of a brain, during a house reno (permitted) up here in BC Canada I roughed in and finished plumbed a new bathroom (toilet, shower, sink). I did some basic research on local code and did it, it had to be inspected because permit and the work passed. copper supply and PVC drain with the right fittings and slopes used as well as appropriate venting and pipe securements. It's not that difficult to get things right if you bother to do some basic research. My work would make whoever did this work look foolish.

This is exactly why I don't mess with system plumbing. I've changed out faucets, and replaced the wax toilet seal with the waxless Fluidmaster one, but that's where I draw the line. We called a local contracting company, and they did such an incredible job with our water heater, and washer supply lines, I feel confident in them being the only plumbers we need. Not only did they do a really good job explaining every detail of the job, they also brought that part of it up to current code for free. They only charged us for the actual installation, and plumbing for the water heater.
Unfortunately the rest of the house is a testament to what I call "the dark side of DIY." The DIY'er in question took shortcuts in almost everything he did. Imagine doing a full addon to your house, not really knowing what you're doing, and refusing to pull permits, and getting inspectors to oversee the work as it's being done.

[ShannySommer]

Ugh I wish I couldn't relate. And they don't realise the overwhelm and mountain of added cost they cause. Not to mention sometimes people tell you they can't fix or work on somebody else's work. So you have to start over. 🙏🙏🙏 So glad you're helping her out.

[randyvac]

I'm not even a plumber and I can do a better job than that.

"There are two ways to pay for something. One is with money, and the other is with quality; and I certainly prefer paying with the former than the latter." -attributed to Benjamin Franklin

[matthewwhite]

As a DIY handyman. This is crazy. He didn’t even try and do any research on codes or anything.
