Thanks Steve. Last Fall, 2018 you helped me rebuild my Delta faucet tub/shower and also helped me fix my air conditioner with a new capacitor. Here it is, April Fools, 2019 and I need you again so I can replace my water heater tank. Thanks; your videos are the greatest as you show things other people don't!!!
I just saw an enormous Mills oil fired boiler yesterday, and right next to it was an enormous, decommissioned Richardson and Boynton steam boiler. I've never seen anything like it and boy; it sure was an impressive piece of history. Massive boilers. Big house. I was excited to see the Boynton boiler, it's a monster.
Another great installation. I must say I have had quite the laugh watching this video with the closed captioning turned on. It has changed many words and is absolutely hilarious! Like an episode of bad lip reading. :)
The conversation at 3:53 is great! Her ultimate reply to the possibility of Baby Dog's "cutting loose on the floor", should have been "oh, I'll just rub your nose in it, Steve". ("nose rubbing" is a horrible thing to do, and I do not condone its practice, I despise it; however, to hear Steve's reply would have been one whole helluva lot of fun!) PS, it would be wonderful to watch Steve mentor an apprentice!
hey steve I can really appreciate what you do with the videos man I tried to take a few videos and do some editing and ill tell ya its friggin harder to get good videos then is to plumb. so thanks for all the work you put in.
Nice replacement on the water heater Steve. I hate having to haul them out. They seem to gain quite a bit of weight with all the sediment and muck that builds up in them over the years.
Soap stone, they were very popular back in the day. A lot of old homes in our area have them. The house I grew up in had a nice deep one in the basement. Came in handy washing big stuff.
Buddy of mine said he was able to solder a leaky copper pipe in his bathroom. I asked him how he did it. He said with a torch and lead core solder. I told him he’d better find someone that knows what their doing.
Steve that was so funny I never seen anybody cut the lid off the pipe dope container to get the last drops that reminded me of a kid licking a bowl after his mother made a chocolate cake. Great video can't wait for the next one. And the baby dog is working again y'all peace
Lead 'free' fittings heat like cast iron, slower and not as even . Bring the fitting up to near hot with lower flame THEN finish the soldering just as you would for older ' leaded' fitting.
Do you save the old Honeywell Gas Valves? I know they fail all the time. We save them to sell to customers as cheap used as an alternative to having to buy new.
I want to thank you for all the water heater videos! Well made and interesting! Could you tell me which Gas water heater you would install in your house? Rheem or A.O. Smith or Whirlpool?
New subscriber here. Great videos. What do you use to check for gas leaks? I always thought soapy water was fine,then I saw a video where the plumber said to use a solution made for checking leaks because water will corrode the pipes. Funny thing, I bought the stuff, and the instructions say to rinse it off with water when done.
Hey Steve love your videos I know this is completely random and not pertinent at all to this particular video but I was wondering if you could tell me where you get the tool that you use to hold down the blower motor switch or what the name of it is
Where is the drainage pipe on this water heater? Or is there supposed to be any? bc I had mine installed last year but recently hvac tech that was working on our unit took a look at our water heater and said it should have a drainage.
If you ever have the chance check out the Knipex pliers wrench they are amazing and are a good replacement over a pipe wrench for a lot of things. You might need a big sob occasionally
How do you get the water heaters out? Here in Texas there in the attic so we have to go up there most of the time but do you have to take it up the stairs? It's just you so I'm curious if you had to carry it up the stairs or you just walk out the door?
steven lavimoniere hey Steve, do you have combination (combi) boilers over there at all, I've not seen any on your videos yet, perhaps you don't use them over there, just wondered
Baby Dog looks warm!! She is always dressed so well and in fashion!! LOL She is shuch good company! Even a real workin man needs good company and beside she won't ever leave ya or complain!! I'm like you as I always love to talk to the customer! Great sales come from communication!!! Beside if ya can't dazzle folks with your knowledge you can baffle them with your bull shit!! LOL Great job Steve!! Keep up the great work!!
Who taught you to soldier? You are breaking so many “rules” that we learn in the apprentice program. And why why why put a vacuum breaker on a top fed heater in the basement? Makes no sense.
Steve might not have time to clean his van with all the jobs he does. He is a damm good plumber! Who cares if his van is a mess! Baby the dog is the star off the show!

"she takes a fritz on the floor" I love it when you work your jokes into every day conversations Steve, keep up the good work.
Appreciate the new camera angle watching you taking out the heater from your truck. Gives a good perspective on the job. Nice!
kroozman10 loved the camera angle the man is great from start to finish.

nice shots of transporting water heater from the van to the basement great job mama !!
Love the videos brother! I love “she’s a leaka!” I can’t get enough of it!!!
😁😁😁
Glad to see I’m not the only frugal bastard that cuts the top off pipe dope cans. Lol
Good call to put on blocks. I can’t stand seeing water heaters right on the basement floor.
A big day for the stever having to break open a new can of pipe thread compound
A nice clean can when the treads are not all mucked up with dope is kind of nice, Mega Nice for about 2 days
Hard water damages hot water heaters they can last longer than 8 years if water is treated
@@SignalViewRadios Or if you do the required preventive maintenance; soft water isn't necessary.
Quick change on that one. Hot water again.. Choo'n Great job, Steve Lav.
Steve,good job as all ways. keep the tapes coming.always enjoy your tapes.always like the little things that you never miss.

I'll take the job.
hey steve I can really appreciate what you do with the videos man I tried to take a few videos and do some editing and ill tell ya its friggin harder to get good videos then is to plumb. so thanks for all the work you put in.
Starting to think that all of your customers are characters too. Maybe its the water out there. :)
she was hittin on him by likin his dog. some guys r thick.
@ 09:48 I love those concrete deep sinks! Haven't seen one since I was in Maine in the 1960s!
Nice replacement on the water heater Steve. I hate having to haul them out. They seem to gain quite a bit of weight with all the sediment and muck that builds up in them over the years.
Steve Looks like it was leaking everywhere Excellent Video
Nice old soap stone double sink in the basement. Can't get them like that anymore.....big bucks if you can find em
Soap stone, they were very popular back in the day. A lot of old homes in our area have them. The house I grew up in had a nice deep one in the basement. Came in handy washing big stuff.
You do a great job using your tools backward so we can see what your doing. Good job Steve. Hey how’s that snow blower project coming !?
Awesome footage !! Love your camera placements
great plumber, always learn from you

Thanks for sharing, Steven.
What kind of gas leak detector you used ? Next Level .
Steve you are consistent thru out your video’s you always try to do s good job
Do you save the old Honeywell Gas Valves? I know they fail all the time. We save them to sell to customers as cheap used as an alternative to having to buy new.
Houston, We have ignition. I am still laughing
Great job and video like always
She has some antique units. I bet they still work.
I want to thank you for all the water heater videos! Well made and interesting! Could you tell me which Gas water heater you would install in your house? Rheem or A.O. Smith or Whirlpool?
nice job Steve
Do you ever use copper anti-seize on any plumbing joints such as unions so it is easier to take apart in 10 years?
Honey Dew Donuts man i miss that place
Steve what brand is you nut driver? need to find one like it.
notice several of your videos the the sump pit isn't that deep. Here in Illinois, majority of us have like a 3ft deep pit, kinda like the sewage pits
Steve, always wondered how you got heavy stuff off your truck. Outdoor compressor can be pretty heavy for one guy.
Great Video 👍👍👍👍👍 next level
New subscriber here. Great videos.

good job Steve as always!!!! the OLD GUNDY MAMA!!!!!!!!
Gonna be quite the rip and tear job on the old boiler.
Oh no its a bradford white. I thought they were the best. Was is the benefit of putting it on blocks?
Hey Steve love your videos I know this is completely random and not pertinent at all to this particular video but I was wondering if you could tell me where you get the tool that you use to hold down the blower motor switch or what the name of it is
Baby loves Steve.
Lol she's got a better life than you do" I lost it

Good Stuff Mr. Steve
can pex pipe be used as relief valve drain pipe in mobile homes?
No bubbles no troubles Mama!
New watch? Looks nice.
If you ever have the chance check out the Knipex pliers wrench they are amazing and are a good replacement over a pipe wrench for a lot of things. You might need a big sob occasionally
DarkRaptor99 love those wrenches
great work as always!!!
What brand of water heater seems to last the longest?
I have that same copper coil over my water heater. Is it code?
Brilliant. Big LIKE👍
Douglas adjustable pliers are awesome. YeeYee
Draft diverter had a full head of hair when you removed that vent pipe!!
Fresh outta dope mama
What are contractors charging for an install like this? Just wondering if I got ripped off or not lol
I would put a wet rag on when soldering that elbow to the tank connection, but I am not skilled.
Steve how old was old heater .Love ur videos .
Lol she's got a better life than you do" I loved it
I replaced mine over the weekend, it was dated in 1992.
I like that lady.
What brand solder do you use? Do you use 95/5 ?

megaloc ....no leaks!!!
She's Corroded!! Sing this corrosion, baby- The Sisters of Mercy!!
I love how is truck sounds like it's dying
Great job, that's no tajmahal! LOL.
A lot of Plates that You eat off of have lead paint on them. I don't think nothing is safe anymore.
Give it the “ole Gundy” momma, ole gundy... don’t forget the fritz. Gundy without fritz won’t do.
320 Area code. That's from Minnesota man. Damn scammers!!
That lead free solder needs a lot more flux.
Telemarker, probably.
great jab stive
A leaker?? That thing looked like you should have replaced it 3 - 5 years ago.
I don't get it why do you wear gloves????
How do you get the water heaters out? Here in Texas there in the attic so we have to go up there most of the time but do you have to take it up the stairs? It's just you so I'm curious if you had to carry it up the stairs or you just walk out the door?
