Fantastic Job, Period Thank you for the learning; experience will come when I feel confident enough to undertake something like this

Lawrence Carroll says:

Steve, I got a fiberglass tub and shower, back to back. Would that big escutcheon plate work on fiberglass? thanks, keep up the great videos!!

George Ford says:

Why did you not take the shower valve apart before you solder pipes you may have burn the inside it

Plumber, A/C guys out there.

Could you wet the paper with a spray bottle first before soldering-!?  Regardless nice install.

Dude you have the grossest jobs.

Like how you left that extra-long bathtub filler pipe so they could still use the bath while the tile-man did his job.

And what is your large, temporary wall covering? Masonite/hard-board?

Marcel Hertig says:

u dont use electric welder for cupper? the paper dint will burn

Marcel Hertig says:

radwkrea says:

Would you have any problem with Shark-bites in that wall ? And I must say , you solder in
places most mortal men would run from …

themrmoy40 says:

gut everything ! Replace it "all"

scg721 says:

why on the shower valve is the tub spout a male thread and all the rest are solder joints?

Tim Spriggs says:

try a wide chisel, Steve. Like 4" wide.

Tim Spriggs says:

that twist was on purpose–to save money.

Tim Spriggs says:

the tall tales that tub could tell if that tub could talk.

Yamilex Fajardo says:

i have a shower that is currently getting fixed but there is some how a water leak that makes all the eater come from under the restroom tile and from under the walls what type of leak could it be we recently opened the bottom where the drain is and theres no leak there could it be the pipes that are in the wall thats making the leak ??

cooldog60 says:

From the look of that place you would have done the guy a favor if it burned down.

DOLRED says:

I'm only 7 minutes into this video and I am already laughing Steve. This is better than your "Toilet From Hell" video!!!! The drywall falls behind the tub. The stud wall looks like a bunch of ice cream bar sticks put together, obviously reworked in the past. That pretzel plumbing is funny. How the hell did someone do this to the plumbing? Trying to straighten it? It does not make sense. Are you sure you want to do this work? Edited at 8 minutes. A union on the shower head line? Most of the time (for 40 years) if I solder in tight places, I take a spray bottle of water and douse the areas behind the work. I do that until I am comfortable the stuff is beyond damp. My biggest fear is the heat of a torch travels up and will collect at the top of whatever enclosed cavity you are soldering in, unseen.

Lars Turner says:

I like your little trick on using a plastic tube to get the water out of the pipe.
