One thing I learned the hard way. Stone counter tops and crockery don't mix. I lost my favorite mug given from my children. Laminate is cheaper to replace and more forgiving if you drop a dish. IME, that is.

Biggest risk in this job is removal of the old countertop is the local cut off valves. In an old home, they are often corroded or frozen or start leaking when closed. A little too much, poorly applied pressure might even crack the upstream pipe. That forces main water cutoff until a plumber arrives, maybe an expensive emergency call. Showing the homeowner doing the quick cutoff suggests none of this can happen. For this project, best to show how to replace a compression fitting cutoff, first, just in case.
Everything under the sink is so awkward and hard to reach. Why do they make them that way? The putty thing is new to me. I just had my faucet replaced...gonna check.
Nylon holds up surprisingly well. It also has the advantage of not reacting with hard water. So in those conditions is can be a superior solution than a metal fixture. Having said that, it would have been nice to show how you can replace a multi-turn valve with a quarter-turn version without the need for any soldering by using a compression style quarter-turn valve or a snap-fit model.
@@Kevin-mp5of He didn't - he showed how to fix the valve she had which I think is easier and more useful than cutting out the old one and soldering in a new one.

At some point in time, I sure hope we'll move away from Phillips head screws. I thought I'd see better than that on Ask TOH in 2023? "See ma'am, your stock kit included inferior Phillips heads screws... here's the greatest and latest Torx Head, invented in 1967..."
Hey, how about giving some costs. Especially on the soft close hardware. The hardware was hundreds of dollars. Please be more transparent and honest about costs!
Lol. “Us” in Europe? All Europe knows there is no “us” there. Amazing how insecure Euro trash has become. You see some US kitchen from the 1970s being demolished and compare it to euro today, ‘we have recessed hinges’, when 1970s euro kitchens were some planks and stools . I suppose after financing another land war in Europe by buying gas from Putin, after destroying you’re own gas supply, you’ve all gone a little nuts.

As someone who has sold and installed shut off valves ,just put new quarter turn compression valves with double shutoff or single shut off with double outlet.Also never put a huge faucet on a stainless sink less than 16 gauge it will bend ,thankfully she choose a cheap lightweight crap faucet ,and plumbers putty you don't need with the plate it has a washer for a reason.Love this show but some of this advice is bad .
They are out there. Generally speaking ----- No one is naturally great ----- It is gained through experience and some learn quicker then others. If you are a true professional trade you typically get snatched up by high end clients and you have no reason to look for additional work. You never see really skilled doctors or mechanics or chefs looking for work, right?
As somebody that has replaced a few cabinet hinges and slides, I can tell you that doing the entire kitchen took a longggggg time!

Thank you for another great show.

I would of changed those shut off valves with 1/4 turn.
Bein a wimp about soldering close to the wall smh, he could have at least used the brass stem Lmao

@@Kevin-mp5of eh? Concerns any inexperienced homeowner being told by the show host it’s simple to take out a kitchen counter.
I always put a wrench on the copper side opposite the shut off, just in case...
What do I use to place glass subway tile onto a (side) backsplash made of 60s wood? It's about a 2'x2' area; the rest is normal wall.
What quartz does do? Chip. I don't know anyone without chips around the sink in particular.
Everything under the sink is so awkward and hard to reach. Why do they make them that way? The putty thing is new to me. I just had my faucet replaced...gonna check.

How come they just couldn’t notch out outlet
Probably could but it would look like a dogs breakfast. It will look nicer with the outlet moved up a bit. Well, in my opinion anyhow.
Great

Sometimes Phillips are actually helpful since they make it difficult to over tighten without camming out.

The amount of plumbers putty alone had to be in the $1000's. :)
@@Kevin-mp5of She was shaping putty bonahz out of it. :)
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
I have a feeling replacing just the washers on the shut off valve would have been better than changing the stem to that all-plastic China crap.

Quartz counter top installers are dying from silicosis due to the dust damaging their lungs.
Its their own fault for not wearing ppe.
Quartz is not the first cut stone by a mile. Dust protection then, dust protection now.
I hope they donated the old drawer slides to a charity like Habitat for Humanity. They work well in garage or shop cabinets.
Yes idea. I started to try and pay since midnight last night.
