okay the goal today is get that back
though in here sitting in and the floor
and get this sewer pipe this block to a
boy here hook to the bottom of my back
though
and then it's got to get hooked to right
there which is a vent that goes up to
the roof I didn't have a park's last
weakness and now we've got him I think I
hope but we've got to cut that I don't
know if we won't cut it there there but
we got to cut that get this to go down
on the floor and missed it the bathtub
then get it to go over here and connect
to the bathtub somewhere in here then
get it to go over here and look through
this other black line so first things
first we're going to get all this stuff
up and get swept up we're going to bring
the bathtub over here and set it in here
and see if the drain clear and then we
got to put a pea trap and the pea trap
is this thing here basically this and
the reason you want that on there that
horse you looking tight is so this stays
full of water all the time and you don't
have no gas coming from the septic tank
or the sewer line and it goes through
here and comes up where you can smell it
inside the house and every fixture has
that on the other way right there's one
for the same it's the same thing so
everything's got to have it this
bathtubs got to have it and that's what
we're gonna work on let me get this
cleaned up and I'll be back with you
here shortly okay we've got a swept up
cleaned up now we're gonna try to
manhandle this bathtub in here and
you see what we got going on here this
sticks down below so I've got to make
sure I've got the floor cut out good
enough for that stick down and then I'm
going to have to come back in here and
patch the floor here and patch the floor
here where it's underneath that tub to
get in front of it support so we're
gonna figure all that out today but
that's our only objective to get this in
if we get this in then that's the
surround therefore the back of the tub
that should be easy to put on and then
I've got the sides down should just flop
right up and then we'll come back and
we'll put a wall all the way around it I
do not have the drywall so I'll have to
run and get that but that wasn't big no
big deal yeah I get that
so let's try to get this bathtub injured
well looks like our first carbonyl is
getting it through the door but we'll
keep working on we'll get it eventually
I hope we've got this little access
panel out last week here in the bedroom
but as you can see well I hope you can
see we did not cut out enough floor so
take the bathtub back up cut some floor
up this looks like it's gonna be a long
road out day
we'll still have two batches forward but
we'll get there slowly but surely whoo
we've got it sitting down in there from
where it goes
got all that down we still have not
hooked up but we don't have a cutout
where you get to it and get it so that's
next okay last week I didn't have enough
fittings to do the job so this week
always got something I've got teased
I've got 90s I got more 90s I got 45
there I've got couplers there I got
p-traps there I got a 45 with no hello
facilities it'll do it a little tighter
another p-trap some 45 is there some
more 45 and there might be 22 and
sanitary tea and the that is to make a
sink drain but all this is
inch-and-a-half stuff that's what goes
in there so I've got a little extra
couple sticks pipe here that's more pipe
in there we'll get it done one way or
another even if I've got to build it
three or four times
the trick is I've got a 10,000 square
foot warehouse over here Antonio and I
never have what I need
so buy a few extras leave it in my
warehouse and if something happens again
on Sunday I'll have it next time I
almost forgot I've got the Milwaukie
it's gonna help me through it I got the
six-pack charger that's pretty good but
they charge like it'll charge this
battery then when this one's whole
little towards this one and then when
this one's full little George this one
and when this one
traditional and that's pretty good long
as you're not using you know four or
five batteries at one time and killing
them all at the same time if like I'm
using that drill that matter real good
did the radio battery of go bid and then
the saws-all battery and then the skill
saw and then the that one there that
it's an oscillator to will go dead and
long as it goes did you know after each
other long as they all don't go dead at
some time that thing does good I like it
and keeps all your batteries in one spot
you don't have to worry about them all
the time this makes it a little easier I
think like right now it's got a green
light here that means this battery
charger um this one's got a red light
means this one is not charged but you
got this button here you can jump it
from here to the next uncharged battery
and that's this blinking battery so if I
go from here and hit the button it'll
jump over here and start charging this
one if I hit the button again it'll jump
back here and start in this one because
that's the next one that's not charged
then we'll go back over here because
this one is charged this one's shorter
than this one's Georgia but it makes it
handy more you can know you can grab it
together you'll have six batteries and
you can always keep them charging in
when you got stuff like this one person
using this kind of stuff it makes it
good because that's gonna run out before
that and that's going out before that
and that's going on before that so and
that's gonna run out faster than all
them so it makes it nice you know it'll
just keep charging where you don't have
to worry about it constantly and it
makes it a little easier and you can
grab hold of them carry six at a time
instead of carrying you know two
chargers and two batteries here and then
then six tools and then the radio you've
you've got the capacity just to grab
okay here's where I've got I've got this
already was hooked up but basically I've
got my P trap in I've got a tea here
looks like everything's gonna be trapped
my P trap goes that way basically then
he comes into the front side of the tea
another horrible I think I'll try to get
you some more light but right now I'm or
run from here out that way
and try to get hooked up to this mine
here and then I've got a run from here
that way and try to get to fight way
over there and then I gotta get flooring
all back in here so I'll be back with
you here shortly okay once again I thank
Mel walk he's gonna steal the show okay
now you might be able to see something
I've got my peeper in over there and
this is all tight so I had to turn it
tight to get it coming back around here
to miss everything but I'm fixing to put
some more on it now I'll get back with
you in a minute okay basically this
black pipe is over here in this wall
and I've got that PPC down there I've
got to get into so I got to figure out
if this will get me over there see how
that worked or if I'm gonna have to do
this type of deal
get me over there come in there and come
out over there two lanes or if I have to
do a 45 like so and 45 like so 45 and 45
with peace pipe and joint to make it a
longer sweeping so we'll figure out
which one of them work you know let you
know now there's no really wrong or
right way to do this because this is a
vent pipe now if this was the Superboy
actual water running through it I might
consider doing something different but
it looks like 90s they're gonna work the
best for me
the way I want to do it anyone there's
basically come off of that with a 90
like so then we'll run a piece of pipe
out of that up to here turn 90 on it and
run back into there so that's what I'm
gonna do if I don't see no reason why I
won't work
so these 45 let me get me over forward
okay here we go at 45 if I stick it
there it won't get me here we go it
won't get me out there far enough to get
into that other piece of pipe
I'll have to you know come out here and
then I'll be pulling this piece of pipe
out of the wall trying to get over there
and then I'm going to hear that fear
with my bathtub up there so I'm gonna do
the 90s that way I can set this pipe
where I want it in the wall here and I
won't have to worry about trying to mend
it
my second point where I won't worry
about trying to bend it I can sit it
right here in the middle and be done
with it but that's what I'm gonna do
I'll get back with you here short well
we're getting to the homestretch now
we've got p-trap in it's tied into the
tea the tea is tied into over here to a
90 but 90 comes up hits this 19 which
comes over here and hits another 90
which goes out to roof so now all we got
to do is connect this tea to the line
over there and we'll be doing Oh put
four back up and put this around around
the bathtub and put the drywall up and
put the faucet in and showerheads and
load a laboratory and then we'll be
getting close to this one oh but other
than that just a little bit of stuff
we'll get it not gonna be no problem
okay we put a little overflow on we've
gotta bring in make sure the drain was
tightened down there I'll just tighten
up the overflow I've got to put the this
overflow
I mean this drain come with this has
anybody else then we use the box as work
just a cardboard box I mean he'll it's
about like a kid playing around with a
ball they like the box more than they do
whatever you bond in the box but makes
it good work I've been cutting
bite on boot stuff together we're fixing
get this last piece in I got the peace
Cup we're gonna get it real quick and be
done with it well being by myself here
down there I overshot it a little bit
but I think we'll be alright we'll be
able to hook it in right here
oh that's true this back a little bit
this one is a Cook Strait anyways good
trim it back a little bit get it lined
up and be ready to go cleaning all this
stuff out work kicked out wedding and
we'll be ready
I'll be back with y'all in just a few
minutes
well got the final connection that was a
pain in the butt but I got it so now we
need to figure out a way put water on
you gotta watch easy going for a few
minutes and make sure they don't blow
back upon they the one you first put the
glue on there and put them together
they'll separate they'll push back apart
and pop themselves out if you're not
careful so you've got to hold them for
just a minute to let that glue sit
especially if that primer is still a
little wet when you put it together so
I'm gonna go get a hose hook it to the
display line and try to fill this hole
try to fill this back to a book and make
sure I don't have any leaks before start
putting this floor back on and we'll get
back up to you when I'm pumping water in
this thing holler at you in a minute
well I looked over and we head and took
the trash out yet so remember that piece
that broke off earlier that's what we're
going to use look it don't look like it
we'll just put it there and try to hit
about in the middle of the bathtub which
done seen if I screwed here that's gonna
be up there and that's gonna be spraying
like crazy but you'd be all right
you might even get me a clamp there and
clamp it down but I'll get back with you
in a minute when we get the water
sprayed well we got water
[Music]
[Music]
let it run down so there'll be a little
water right here but the other side is
home one huh
behind the bathtub and it holds the
water which time we're looking here I
don't see any leaks
that's first we cut it on the first
drive yeah so yeah the first time for
everything thank you
usually we got to do take after take
after take after take and you know cut
all that stuff out and make it look the
same you guys don't know but yeah got it
on the first time and we running
anything won't believe me
you can believe I did all that gluing
without having to redo it
oh well you know it's like they say
happens
okay we got the tow beam we got to screw
it in one two three four five six seven
eight
hates first we're cleaning this side out
for a little bit and then we're gonna
put this back window and I'll show you
what that looks like that's what we're
doing still a one-man band the deck I've
got my guard all warmed up I have not
put tape the violin it yet
I've took this down up here that's out
here so I can recenter it um it needs to
be centered here so I've got to get that
right once I get that right I'll put
that back up but first we've got to get
this back home I do not believe it's
gonna give us any problems but we're
fixing to find out what you talked about
that that's how to knock a bathroom out
real quick and this is even better it's
not a joke couldn't believe that look
that's not sweet little setup you know
before we had a problem over here that
shelf and you know they was putting
something on there well now I got plenty
of room let's say you you put your your
soap there well you know my shampoo
would have to go back here come in
though we get in the back the women from
the men get stuff back here so all right
too many tales all I need is my soap on
a rope and the shampoo conditioner
Who am I kidding never tried no
conditioner but I still got two more
birth at least two more bottles hmm
hello then I guess I get half for this
too Wow you know wouldn't take long
women would have it all filled up she's
broke Tech Mountain so I'd have mine out
here on the edge right there on me
usually what happens anyway I got a big
old shield there doing the piles okay
and I get the very back come on how do I
hurry
back corn can I have a little piece of
the flat corn nope my spawn just got to
go in the back corner that's crazy
I think I'm gonna talk to her about that
tonight well I might just wait to this
video come down hook like if she don't
see it
okay here is our bathtub we got this
siding a nice thing I have a 2x4 right
up this I don't turn it on sideways for
a double two before me so the drywall
can hit it and II thought can be screwed
to gonna put y'all wall around that wall
over here but no look back shower get up
there we'll be good to go
knock it out get it the way we want and
be done with it
but it's gonna look good here I believe
after everything is said and done but I
got nine percent done here I'm gonna
wait to Ronnie gets here in the morning
finalize everything just in case we have
to tweak something I've done everyone I
wanna do nothing here that's
irreversible like drill them holes that
he's here and it looks like with this
here it's going to be want to move them
up to get it in there where we won't
moving it up want to move that up get
all that set and then do this back here
so but it looks good it's going to be a
good bathtub
and that's now in my opinion this is the
only way to do it you can't that stuff
that they had up there the paper or
whatever you want to call it this is the
way to go you can you can see that's
fiberglass plastic fiberglass slicing
you get extra out of it
you don't have to worry about it the
water running back behind it I mean it's
just it's the way to go I believe in my
personal opinion it all snaps together
in lock seams lock seen them on these
these spots right here holds it together
comes in three pieces so you can
actually or four pieces count about them
so you can actually get it through the
door I did try to put one of these in
it's a one-piece and when you do that
you've got to demolish everything which
it wouldn't have been too bad here I
could cut that wall out there and slid
right through but the problem is getting
it in here I would have to cut that wall
up do the heat in here but we've got
just about everything of we're putting
that up and once we get it our tops it
I've already got some folks about their
intro so tomorrow will be
