Nice job. I would’ve never imagined in a million years that they’d use something like poly b in a high use commercial building like a school. Those plastic compression fittings are pretty amazing that they have been there nearly 30 years without leaking.

That is what is called "hiding in plain sight", for sure, Arne ! Great leak-detective, too, now ! 😉

If you ever to decide to stop doing building maintenance you can get into the roofing business. Lol. Good job! Thanks for sharing! Have a safe and blessed day !

Great the HULK imitation, Arne, just in time for Halloween ! Nice to see those assembled - almost like Lego - but that shows all the planning & visioning done on your part ! Smart - using that floor-jack like a crane, so to speak & lowering those down, fully-controlled onto the steel plates being welded to the feet !

Awesome work bench! Good Job ! Thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed and safe week !

Nice work. And they absolutely deserve to have your name on them.

Who's the grey haired guy

Great way to use a Tombstone scene. 😆

Only an idiot would drywall anchor a full-size TV to the wall! That’s why the instruction manual says find a wall stud

No shit it unmounted itself. What dumbass mounted a tv with wall anchors. Every TV I have ever mounted (and I have done many) the directions are pretty clear you have to mount it in at least one stud if a wood frame wall. It's not recommended but if you have metal studs use Toggle Anchor. Drill a hole in the center of the metal stud. feed the toggle anchor into the stud, and cinch down the anchor.

Good to have Lots of useful materials & parts to use in such a repair; Well-Done, Arne, once again ! 😊

I as fully expecting a comedy with the shutoff handle to swing out and block the door from closing. Take care of yourself, condolences about you're mum.

Someone need some help hanging a tv. Good job, thanks for sharing your experience ! Have a safe and blessed day !

Bungee cord for patching a leak is indeed ingenious ! As you likely know, those Poly-B compression fittings are an accident waiting to happen, beyond the actual piping ! Coulda /shoulda been a Surgeon, apparently ! Wet hands sure don't help, when you need to grip ! Your 2nd try at soldering was much-improved (I was a bit unsure on the first try) !

Nice video; just wondering if you have seen 3/4 stainless flex supply hose with pushfit connections on both sides like your slip joint thinking that might have been a good option? Why didn't you go that route??? Just want to get your thought!!!!

that's it fix it yourself because it's not their fault

i've done stuff like that many times and being perfect i've never had an issue so it's my obligation to criticize your soldering. just kidding. LOL. nice video 😁

i always clean everything when doing copper even new fitting and put lots of flux and solder on but I still prefer copper to anything plastic or the SharkBite stuff. i just stick with copper plumbing in my house the gung-ho thing is switch to pex. I will let others be the guinea pigs already heard of problems with chlorinated water.

That just makes you sick when you go the soldering process and then have a leak and have to go through it all over again. But you got it, good job ! Thanks for sharing ! Have a safe and blessed day !

I located hard to find roof leaks by gently pressing down on the membrane til I hear water sounds or “slooshing” sounds and followed it. Takes some patience.

Tell me you domt know how water works without telling me you dont knownhownwater works...

We went to a four day week at our district, and we work maintenance about one Friday a month. So nice having the place to ourselves for loud work and access to restrooms etc.

Amazing and very helpful video. One problem I have encountered is that I was rushing through the job and accidentally stripped the nut that welded onto the lower control arm. What would you recommend I do? Cut the nut flush and just use a different nut and bolt?

Once you locate the correct unit and identify where the leak is, will you do the repairs yourself or call in a contractor?

Wowie - taking all your skills, patience & experience on this one ! 3 Cheers !!! 😊

How’d it go?

Great job with the troubleshooting and the repair. I love that when you repaired it, you upgraded the materials to brass which is a superior connection and will last much longer than the former ABS.

Some interesting urinals, haven’t seen anything like that. Good work

Troubleshooting a water leak can be difficult sometimes like roof leaks and leaky pipes. But you were successful, Good job ! Thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed day !

Condensation lines not draining have you opened any of the boxes?

I have a similar canister but with a grey gasket that goes above the lock nut. I try everything and it still leaks. Do I need to tighten it really tight or it should seal with even just silicone. I’m running out of options! Great video.

Water flows downhill once it hits a surface. It could easily be around the unit.

Why not get a 110 welder for these small repairs? I know I know "budget", but it would be better for all.

That's a WHOLE lot of ingenuity & fine-tuning, Arne, as usual ! 😉 👏

Quite a silly design decision by the manufacturer, to have that angled slot and thus require the piece to bend so awkwardly to match. A vertical slot would make it so much easier manufacturing wise. Unless I'm not seeing the obvious reason why it's the way it is 🤷‍♂

Good job, nice work! Thanks for sharing this ! I know there will be be some happy students and teachers ! Have a blessed day !

Great tool for that job; I have the same & the use seems endless ! Good eye, Arne, on that aggressive screw on the left, just scraping that PVC ! 😉

The pure enjoyment you get when someone else faced the same hilarious misfortune as you once did. Great episode!

You always have a sick feeling in your stomach when you hear water gushing. Good job on the repair. Thanks for letting us tag along. Have a blessed day !

CPVC is absolutely the worst. I opened a brand new building in 2008 and the entire plumbing system was that stuff and it was nothing but problems.

What brand shock did you use?

Turn down your foreground music so we can listen to your video with the sound on.

Philip, you know where the leak is. Get a Wet Vac, take out a few gallons and observe below. If it doesn't slow or stop, take out a few more. Eventually, the water (beachhead) will tell you where the leak was coming from. Then you can fix it.

How frustrating. I know how you felt because I've been dealing with a leak in my concrete stream with no liner for years. I'm pretty sure that I've isolated the individual pond that it's in and have tried epoxy, spray foam,, acrylic concrete sealer, and last night, an epoxy concrete sealer that is supposed to work under water. It seemed to have held overnight, so I started the pump again, only to find that the pump lost vacuum after a few hours and the water level has gone down again after re-priming and refilling the stream. The mystery is that there is no indication of where the water is going. Maybe back into the aquifer? I'm thinking that I might be dealing with more than one issue. Next step is to turn off the pump and see if the same pond is still losing water and if it is, I'll try food coloring to see where it's leaking.

Thanks, Phillip. Ya this roof may be the ultimate end of me, lol.

You have more patience than I would have to find that leak. Good job, thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed day!

Tools that really work for you - of course - can save the pain of doing it by hand. Persuasion is the necessity, sometimes, for sure ! Good tutorial, Arne ! Nice ride; I had one myself & often miss it ! 🙂

That stuff is densdeck it gets mushy like that when it gets wet.

Those corners are garbage too

Great idea - that scissor-lift ! Indeed, boring is good, when it comes to electrical ! 😉
