We ran into a huge drainage issue in our new garage build! In this video we show how to effectively move a drain and of course, a whole lot of cool tips. Thanks for watching!
I feel like you’re like me. I recently had a bath leak and was 99% sure I solved and fixed it. I didn’t sleep for two nights knowing I might be wrong. Well….i removed all tiling in my shower to be sure I had no damage. Turns out I was right and solved it the first time, but now I KNOW.
I now put a zip tie around the Disposer Lugs, as I had one undo itself and start leaking in the cabinet. Nice Job. Was a good call to redo that. Paul you are like me, probably lying in bed fretting about that pipework's future.
This is great. I literally had the same issue in our home when we bought it. The previous owner replaced the regular sink with a deep farmhouse sink and for some reason left the disposal sitting under the sink unattached. I quickly attached it and found out why. The drain was not low enough. I was able to kind of make it work, but every couple of months or so, the connection got loose and flooded under the sink. Eventually I attempted to do the same repair as you did and get in the wall to lower the T. The multi tool is literally the only tool you can use to cut into the cabinet wall and drywall. I know, because I didn't have one and literally tried everything else until I tried a Dremel with a cutter blade. It slipped and I cut into the faucet supply line giving me a nice shower. Had to order a new faucet overnight and got the multi tool. Fortunately I had regular fiberglass insulation, so it made the part in the wall easier. But the warning about the glue? Also hit me deep. I had abs pipes, so I used the black ABS glue aaaand I spilled it all over the floor.... Freaked out trying to clean it up, but learned that after a few minutes it just peeled up from the floor. Left the hole in the back of the cabinet though and no more leaks. It was quite a big project for me at the time and took many months of different attempts and was so happy and relieved once it was done. I wish I had this video back then. Well done!
Cutting that drywal hole you should have turned the blade in the buzzsaw to the side to be able to get more of an angle on the cut. You guys teach me lots, hope that helps you!
Paul, I have to thank you for the extra content on this channel. I have a little bit of a Youb crush on you, no disrespect to your family. Your channels are the only ones I slow down to normal speed lol. Keep up the good work. I learn so much about the little details your experience shows us.
First two things turd tossers ( plumbers ) learn is crap runs down hill & Friday is payday . First things electricians were told about plumbers is NEVER shake thier hands until finished eating your lunch . Great U tube series on building best in class quality apartment.
2:14 In Europe we have very similarly sized 25x50x75mm blocks, while ratchets (and bits) are always imperial with metric sockets. Btw. for simple level/angle checks like at 0:35 I find it very convient to use a cheap digital angle gage (the small square ones with magnets on the sides).
Nice job Paul and Rad. You've proven many times that you know what you're doing and do it well. Don't let the internet keyboard experts dissuade you. There are a few ways to do everything. Continue to choose the one you prefer.
24:14 I just installed a waterdrop in my bathroom yesterday because of your vids! It immediately removed the smelly water and copper and chlorine taste, I was pleasantly surprised. So far everything you have suggested on this channel has ACTUALLY been quality, that's not something I've ever been able to say on any other channel before. Thanks for staying true to quality over quantity, it's what I think we all enjoy most! Cheers (FWIW, my Brita filter and fridge filter were unable to filter the smell/taste of the water, but somehow the waterdrop did, and the flow rate hasn't seemed to have changed!)
For the ratchets, Paul was talking about the drive, the square bit that goes into the socket. That is the same imperial size and often referred to in terms of inches
We still use ¼ ⅜ and ½ inch drives and extension bars. I'm a 68 year old retired lift engineer, I think in feet and inches but used to work in millimetres.
I used my PVC cable saw in an application like that recently where I had a pipe inside another bigger pipe and I only wanted to cut the outer pipe. It was in the ground so I couldn't use the oscillating saw on the bottom, and the loose pipe inside was very hard to feel with the power tool once you go through the pipe. The manual wire saw did a great job. It has been sitting in my plumbing tool box for probably 20 years waiting for its day to shine LOL I am with you, having those 90s and doubling back isn't great for a kitchen sink with a disposal. I lived in the oilfield in the middle of nowhere TX and we had to drive to the next county to the little hardware store and use whatever we could get a lot of times. Nothing like walking into the little local place and seeing the large void on the shelf where the fittings you need are hahaha Great job as always.
Man this hits close to home we just finished our remodel from our slab leak and we decided to get deep sink and undermount well now we have cut wall open to drop the wall drain 4 in cause we weren’t thinking about the under mount and deep sink would make level with wall drain
Ratchet Sockets & Wrenches... I have complete sets in both Metric & Decimal, BUT I don't have one of those nifty Channel Locks #209 Oil Filter wrench so I plan to buy one the next time I visit my favorite location. Thanks for sharing this video with us today.
Fun video and nice clean up of the drain! As someone that grew up in a town of 2500, it cracks me up when you call your 100k population a really small town! But then again, compared to Houston proper, it is pretty tiny I guess.
Fun fact. The US is based on the metric system. They also help calibrate the kilo at NIST. In Canada, all our metric ratchet heads fit on the quarter, three eighths, and half inch ratchets. We are full on both systems of measurement here.
Scotch bright and rub some WD-40 on that 1-2-3 block and that will be good as new. Great job on that pipe too btw. I had to do something similar when we added a disposal and dishwasher to our new kitchen.
I have a few videos showing some funky multi-tool blade bends. Definitely could've done that for your drywall cut if you wanted to bevel those spots. I use cheapo blades from amazon. 'Trivd frol 100 piece curved edge multi tool blade'. $46 for 100 and they last plenty long and you don't need to worry about bending them for one-time uses. Highly recommend adding bending multi tool blades to Pauls bag of tricks.
On ratchets, we use the imperial to determine the ratchet size, and the type of sockets you can use on them, but the sockets themselves do use the mm to display the size. Never encountered a 1 2 3 block neither imperial nor metric.
Oddly, we Americans continue to refer to our measurement system as Imperial (with the historical implications.) So we are simply traditional! And for those who are metric football fans in the rest of the world, we Neanderthal Americans actually also understand the metric system. And we (like many of you, I suspect) have tools measured in both systems. I always enjoy this build series, and thanks, Stud Pack!
It's funny... As a Sailor, I'm used to starting with kg of U-235 and calculating Shaft HP. Yet, the academic abilities of Americans are disparaged because we don't use their system.
Australia uses metric, except for many things. Things like speakers are sized in inches, 10 inch subwoofer. TVs and monitors are sized in inches more than cm. Garden hoses are measured in mm but the sizes are 12mm and 19mm which is either 1/2 inch or 3/4. Socket drives are often referred to in inches. Buying lumber, it is always sized in mm but the sizes are imperial. Eg 42 x 19mm x 1.8m. One thing to note is that the sizes specified are accurate to the actual dimensions. None of this 2 by 4 which is actually a 1.5 by 3.5.
5:05 I had the same problem with my AC/heat turning on and off super frequently, drove me nuts. An immediate solution I found was to get a thermostat with a temperature "differential" setting (I got an Ecobee), and set it to 2 degrees (the default is 1). So this means if I set the AC to 74, it will kick on when the house temp rises to 76 rather than 75. This keeps the system running for longer cycles and turns on/off way less frequently, both better for the compressor (and my sanity). It was a game changer for me!
My Honeywell has the ability to add multiple temperature sensors and can take an average of the sensors you choose. It definitely helps with cycling if the thermostat location has temperature swings.
I think the metric guys have what's basically a 2-4-6 (cm) block that's slightly smaller. However, I do believe their ratchets are 1/4" drive. Just like we have a lot of metric over here, momentum (and NATO) caused them to have a bit of Imperial.
If the mud is a bit old or goes off to quick , use a a bit of baking powder in the mix ....go steady, you don't need much to retard the setting time....😊🇦🇺
Love the channel. Not sure the reason to have such a small dishwasher. How long does it take to wash a couple of plates, cutlery and glasses??? If you want it because it’s new and different, I understand.
It doesn’t take long, but if I was in a small house, I would want this setup. I HATE washing dishes, so I’d love a little setup like this to just do one or two settings at a time and only need to handwashing when I cook using pots and stuff. But I do understand the time to wash isn’t much, so it’s just all preference.
It’s because there is so little counter space. For Jordan to have a dish rack, he would loose half of his counter space. They did talk about it when they put in the sink.
Seems like so many plumbing videos base their assumptions on the pipe being full to capacity. That is never going to happen unless the drain gets clogged down stream. If the fall is a little off, ans a little water stays in the pipe, who cares? The drain will still work just fine.
I wonder if this could be done for cutting PVC in tight spots. An electrician hack to cutting our PVC when there are wires in it. Some strings back and forth like a chainsaw. The type they use for brick or concrete to keep good lines works best. It works faster than you'd expect. But I don't know about plumbing PVC. Anyone know?
Paul, you definitely did not need to do what you just did you absolutely destroyed your cabinets for nothing the water still would’ve drained out there was no way it was ever going back up. It would’ve been fine unless you didn’t get a CO because that would be the only reason you would ever want to change that.
Sorry to be the jerk here but his skills aren’t good enough if he has to have plumbing run through two cabinets. I like the channel but sometimes the stuff they do is straight Mickey Mouse 🐭
It’s funny how yet another channel who loved Dewalt for so long all of a sudden get a form of sponsorship from Milwaukee and almost overnight became team red M12/M18 fanboys eg at your last Stud Pack main channel you said your going to be showcasing a lot more red tools really soon. I know some channels that just changed from the XJ Dewalt Batteries to the XR Flex Batteries and found the Dewalt tools became faster and lasted longer. However it cost them 75% less than buying just the bare bones Milwaukee tools on their own. The reason I mentioned this is because you always said your here to help people save money and show them more cost-effective solutions. But now it’s like you saying forget that just go and put yourself in debt for 10years just to buy the tools on their own. 😢. I just come from the old school of thinking that buy the best solution you can afford to buy and not the best money can buy. Just wondering if festool offered you a sponsorship would you change from team red to grey/green?
Love the real world mess up, with real world fix. That why I love you guys
All I can say is Jordan is so lucky to have a dad like you Paul. You guys make a great team!
Paul's instincts are PHENOMENAL!!!!! The man is such a talent. Thank you for sharing!!
I feel like you’re like me. I recently had a bath leak and was 99% sure I solved and fixed it. I didn’t sleep for two nights knowing I might be wrong. Well….i removed all tiling in my shower to be sure I had no damage. Turns out I was right and solved it the first time, but now I KNOW.
Every time I see a new way to use your talent to my advantage
I really like the Stud Pack 2 videos. They’re more chill and informative. Keep it up gang!

Man, this gave me sweaty anxiety! Good job, gents!
the 1,2,3 block is 25mm by 50mm by 75mm here and our sockets also go by mm, most common sized here are 10mm, 13mm, 17mm
For the ratchets, Paul was talking about the drive, the square bit that goes into the socket.

Awesome episode!
Watching both channels in Southeast Texas.

Boy I wish there was an easier way to set up under-sink plumbing where it is both compact and clean... and functional.
Well done Paul , nice job.
Great video! Thanks for all the great tips.
Like button smashed!!!!
Block is 25 x 50 x 75 drives are the same 1/4 3/8 1/2 3/4 and Hi from Australia , love your videos
as a home renovator i have been caught a few times with things not going to plan. its all about finding an alternative.
Scotch bright and rub some WD-40 on that 1-2-3 block and that will be good as new. Great job on that pipe too btw. I had to do something similar when we added a disposal and dishwasher to our new kitchen.
When I first started watching Stud Pack (years ago) I thought Jordan's name was Bud
In Australia, we still use 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 inch drive ratchets and sockets ect
Excellent work as always
I have a few videos showing some funky multi-tool blade bends. Definitely could've done that for your drywall cut if you wanted to bevel those spots. I use cheapo blades from amazon.

Spray foam seems like a great idea but any remodel work looks painful..
He's a plumbtrician!

As always Good Job Guys !!!!
Full bubble is definitely graded...
I’d have capped the abandoned pipe in the wall just so nobody down the road tries to use it
The magic number is 25.4, in millimeters per inch, divide or multiply as necessary. 6mm divided by 25.4 = .236", it works every time.
Some people like electric vehicles and some like gas/Diesel. You should of used your oil filter wrench to pull the T out. Lol
Australia uses metric, except for many things.
Things like speakers are sized in inches, 10 inch subwoofer. TVs and monitors are sized in inches more than cm.
Garden hoses are measured in mm but the sizes are 12mm and 19mm which is either 1/2 inch or 3/4.

Back to remodel mode… we always return to your roots eventually.
That was cool!

My normal White-Rodgers thermostat does that. I thought they all did. The old gold Honeywell does that too.
We still have a lot of imperial in the UK. My ratchet set has both. Not sure about 123 blocks as I don’t have one. All our sheet goods are 8x4 still.
Unfortunately not all, measure some plywood ... they're shorting you a few mm these days by doing 1200x2400 instead of 1220 and 2440 :\
WD40 for cleanning greatstuff. Its great for clearing the hose and I spray a little on the cans diaphram.
You need a cleanout on a kitchen sink. Should of put it on the vent Above the santee
Nice! Like these vids a lot.
We those blocks we use are 1:25mm 2:50mm en 3:75mm and we got one: 1: 50mm 2: 75mm en 3: 150mm they are here used only for cnc ....
I think the metric guys have what's basically a 2-4-6 (cm) block that's slightly smaller. However, I do believe their ratchets are 1/4" drive. Just like we have a lot of metric over here, momentum (and NATO) caused them to have a bit of Imperial.
My ratchet box has both imperial and metric. The metric one goes from 6mm to 21mm with 1mm increments.
You call it a No Hub down south, I've heard it called a Fernco up in the northeast.
YOU NEED A MILWAUKEE PVC PIPE SHEAR!!
If the mud is a bit old or goes off to quick , use a a bit of baking powder in the mix ....go steady, you don't need much to retard the setting time....😊🇦🇺
You don’t need foam to seal your home. You can caulk it and spot foam but that takes more time of course. Full foam sucks.
I would never glue on a drop cloth again. Had the cleaner soak through and onto floor. Use plastic. Or keep the cleaner in the cabinet.
In Cda. it is still 1/4 1/2 & 3/4
👍👍
How high was the pipe roughed in originally? seems too high, with all new deep sinks it needs to be around 13-15" high
Love the channel.

I thought you were sponsored by Milwaukee? What's with the Dewalt multi-tool?
Seems like so many plumbing videos base their assumptions on the pipe being full to capacity. That is never going to happen unless the drain gets clogged down stream. If the fall is a little off, ans a little water stays in the pipe, who cares? The drain will still work just fine.
Metric would be 25mm x 50mm x 75mm blocks
Why do you prefer mesh tape with hot mud?
I just use bat insulation in those areas where I want to access if need be, spray everything else. There’s no insulation police that tells me I can’t.
You leaked the window covering
Lol, I would not have noticed without your comment.

LOL why is there a group text about women getting married and becoming priests on a construction video????
I feel like there's some friction between Paul and Jordan. And that's been over a few videos
I picked up on that a couple videos ago
