    Stay tuned to the end for a project wrap up segment!
    UPDATE (4/4/21): The fact this video has over 100k views blows my mind. Please watch other videos on my channel that are infinitely better! 😂

    Ok...I couldnt let a fellow Jason that is clearly putting that much "production value" into these videos go on with only 92 subscribers. Glad to be number 93. Keep it up! I'm reliving a couple projects through you... funny stuff. Do you also gauge your projects by how many trips to the hardware store they take?

    I think those bendy, flexible pipe fittings are not up to code because debris easily gets trapped in them. If you notice, on the boxes the manufacturers call them flexible "tubes" not flexible "pipes" because they are not allowed to be used as pipes. The bathroom otherwise looks nice though.

    It looks so easy that I managed to convince my boyfriend to do it ourselves. When we went in we found out that our cabinet had a full back wall/panel, we had to break the cabinet to pieces than we found out that when the Mfg pur how many inches deep, they mean the top counter and not the bottom base, so we ended up having a counter that was 1" away from where the tile starts...Advice for newbies: measure the bottom of the cabinet at the store, don't count on the measurements printed on the the box .

    Skip the Teflon tape. Not needed on flexible supply lines due to the built in seal/gasket in the supply lines, and you're right, the flexible drain extension is, well, not exactly heresy, but they are a bad idea due to to catching andnhildimg grunge, often resulting in stink.😛 (BTW, I am a plumber. 🙂)

    That flexible drain fitting you used is illegal in most places. It's biggest problem is that it is extremely weak and the ridges in it will trap all the gunk that goes down the drain causing clogs and leaks.
