OOPS DID WE DO THAT

[FrankaDith]

What happened to diggin a hole in the ground and pumping it yourself ,the cities and the hidden rates they have to live there,if your not well remunerated your just a slave to the rest ,man First Nations people had it all worked out till we showed up faak!

[RandyDarkshade2]

i don't think I trust water valves in your city, they seem to break easily. lol

[Slobodan488]

do u have a license to do plumbing?

[1ChevyGuy375]

Well I guess when Bloke and Joe do a job It's Go big or go home.

[riccarper1]

LMAO!!! I can't imagine Bloke doing electrical...lol

[1993cobras]

nice $45 valve turns into a $45000 job

[shilsyk]

we don't pay for water where I live!!!!

[jimP71]

Bloke and this "Holy Mess" suck bolloks!

[ghettohillbilly1]

here in ns the price of water is goin up 40% its just sick

[95Jansson]

2:07 BA'H :D

[videman21]

5 people had their water shut off by the bloke

[PonyPower71]

whoa

[Learnthethingsido]

How many Canadians does it take to change a water valve..

[mitchellmitchell4000]

@Learnthethingsido and were are u from >?

[Learnthethingsido]

@mitchellmitchell4000 arizona

[mitchellmitchell4000]

@mitchellmitchell4000 canada NS

[treehouseman3]

shear shear shear SHEAR SHEAR

[Kolfritz]

Actually, everybody's kinda lucky the valve problems were discovered this way. Think of how bad it would've been if there had been a major leak in the housing complex's basement and the water couldn't be shut off...

[BananaJSSI]

Love those Brits!

[schnel127]

lol city workers xD

I bet they like that eh?

[Graveltrucker]

The city workers love it more money in their pocket.

[gangesexcavating]

@Graveltrucker remember my Nanaimo job a few months back.....because I sure do.

[Bucyruserie28W]

Graet Vid ((( been there done that suck )))

[drunkadian]

hmmm which one of you guys got your master plumbing license which is required in ontario..better call your lawyers

[84W150]

Do You have to pay for this out of your own pocket or do you have insurance for this type of situation?

[BeaverCleavage1]

I could tell you guys were fucked when I saw Joe trying to solder in his shed.. And he thought he was welding... I am surprised they would hire someone with such little skill, The job must have gone to the lowest bidder... There goes the profit but I am sure it was a learning experince.

[OneEyeJay]

This is why plumbing sucks, You touch one thing and then another and another thing goes wrong!!!

[Monkey200728]

You 2 stupid mother fuckers,,,

[THOMASOAKMAN]

Bloke Broke Canada! Great....

[Xxslayer410xX]

man looks like you guys fucked up big time there bud

[MrStelmer]

Surely you're not responsible for that bloke? Paying them to come out and turn off the valve is one thing, they broke it because the valve is probably old and corroded. It is not your fault and you should not foot the bill for that...

A while back in the UK there was a massive replacement of the old iron water and gas mains. I wonder when Canada's mains were last replaced? They don't last forever as proven here.

[ThaMythbuster]

You've got to be kidding me lol, you aren't the ones that have to pay for that right?... Right!? That would be nuts... Funny effect of murphys law though :D

[NOTSODOTCALM]

i m a builder Bloke but thats just the name of the game one thing will always lead

to the other

[BoonGz93]

bloke, common plumbers these days use a aerosol which they spray on the pipe and it freezes it. once it defrosts the water returns.

[gthyfah]

I think you could register your hands as weapons of mass destruction. Did you make the eleven O'clock news?

[91jchevy87ec1]

Canada's water infastructure appears to be just as bad as ours.

[theGHETTOMAN1]

LMAO!! That's a PRIME example of the butterfly effect..! A fruit fly landed on that valve and POOF! A couple thousand people were out of water.. lol ; D *thumbs up*Murphy's law at work!!! hehehe ; )

[compwiz878]

good philosiphy joe n bloke you gotta do it right the first time lol

[thisisunreal1]

This is the tail end of the make work project when these were initially installed. The original installation should have had multiple shut offs throughout each unit then, each block then, section. It's the original builders fault for cheaping out in the first place.

[sjjdiienno1]

hey thats like me with my vehicles...what seems like a simple repair turns into one fuck of a problem haha

[leonardo1480]

oh heck, what have you guys done, O'well it adds to the adventure lol

[VWBAJA2112]

Thats why all the oil was spilt in the Gulf,they should treat oil like water,hehe,I must ask my air compressor is next to my water meter a new one,looks the same as what u servants to us all are installing,can the 60 gal air compressor have an effect on the meter?my bill says 81.000 gal& my meter says 78.000,5 yrs I seen the meter at 0 when installed?????,maybe ? maybe not,any insight? still wait for ur vids CCB,keep up the fun & public service,lol.Glenn from USA.

[727JeffN]

Lucky you guys are in Canada. If you were in the U.S., this is Thanksgiving. If the water had to be shut down on Thanksgiving, there will be a lot of angry people!

[mrbreeze732]

Go home and dont touch anything... Water and Joe dont mix. Hey I remember Joe videoing these town workers while they were on break and complaining about his tax money... By chance are these the guys who are saving your ass today?

[TheConradChannel]

@mrbreeze732 It's not joe's fault that the public water system was real old and bit of it broke, if it had been in good condition there'd be no problem, the city workers are saving their own ass and i suppose the general public's ass too, not joe and bloke's. If the city water setup was ok then it wouldnt have broke when bloke and joe needed it shut off to fix the water pipes in the condo

[mrbreeze732]

Go home and dont touch anything... Water and Joe dont mix.

[casetractorfarmer1]

What they don't use a trench box in Canada wow

[2009jimmy2009]

WHAT A FUCKING MESS! THEM VALVES SHOULD OF BEEN MADE OUT OF A MATERIAL LESS PRONE TO CORROSION!

[Begbucks]

Who's SNAFU?

[MrJujitsu62]

Murphy's law at work !!

[gsstrings]

OOPS!!! How many more do you have to replace?? I hate to say it but with the same equipment if one did that there is a good chance more will.Good luck

[tarzwell50]

Who has to pay for all that ?

[tarzwell50]

The muck away truck ?

[canadacatalyst]

wow bloke that is quite a chain reaction! the whole city of london is bad like that. rusting pipes cause sinkholes!

[ICGer]

That's the reason why there are manholes/maintenance shafts to valves or distribution points. At least in europe, that is.

[ytzpilot]

Way to go guys....LOL

Those vavles probably needed replacing anyways.

[jakeanddar]

Bloke you trouble maker!

[shithustler420]

wats the big deal? lol like just rusted out pipes that snapped.. pretty common.. and you gotta do what you gotta do to fix it...

[DavidPlaysXbox]

bloke do you have to pay for any of the work that the city had to do?

[Qwakkeddup]

No matter where you live, Murphy's Law will triumph.

[mobes329]

It is always something isn't it....LOL....!

[Crazy17muk]

Should of just froze the pipe and changed the valve simple 

[barryperrins]

Wow, big troubles!

[wheely132]

haha. i live out in the country so i have a well and a well house. so i control my own water. well that sucks, alotta people without water. tisk tisk.

[Silverfangwolfy]

Talk about cascade failure.

Odds on that, gotta be long... maybe worth getting yourself a lottery ticket Bloke

[12longz]

damn thats hell

[BANGERS68]

holly shit dude...

[dragata1]

this right here is why i love to live in the country

[fegolem]

You did the city a favor. You helped them find those seized valves. Good job. :)

[mikenorma72]

PLEASE TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TODAY BLOKE!!!!!!

[thefarmfred1]

20,000 ppl out of water and a major mall, You've done it now Bloke, You've done it now, You fucked'er good!!!!!!

[muchosa1]

That is a risky dig since they did not put up supports for the hole wall.

[pisser20001]

Nice job Bloke...We were diggig with a backhoe a few years back and dug up a plastic pipe with about 1,000 telephone wires in it. We had to call the phone company and they were out at our place for 2 days. We knocked out about 10,000 customers in our area and it cost us about $15,000 out of our pockets to have them repair it! OUCH

[pantherxx010]

I remember when overcross was torned down that goes over Cal state 60 and I-215,  Backhoe dug a little too deep and hit High Presssure pipe Gas line and broke it. City had Fire dept. close off area up to 2 mile which I live had to leave my house until Gas Co. shutdown that pipe it took them 5 hours to do it. That was no fun!

[brent3360]

bloke bloke bloke....plumbers..

[robicool]

Fuck me that's one hell of a problem!

[cucumberpepsi]

Now you've done it! lmao  are you two licensed plumbers? All you have to remember is shit flows down hill and payday's on Friday :)

[12345senoj]

[FalconsFlame]

Bloody hell!

[series1riv]

Hmm mabye BP could plug that leak eh Bloke? ;)

[mre1f]

holy crap!

[downhillmad1]

Holy fuck. . .Haha

[Skavaen]

Dont you love it when a little job escalates so quickly in to a major job?

[sturomain]

@Skavaen Ya happen's to me daily.. lol

[buckfever90]

That's just epic!

[Spazcan]

If that had happened here after you and Joe dissing the city workers, they would have told you"we'll get to that in a month or so".

[89thunderchunky]

British bloke breaks canada ,awesome lol 

[mightyfinejonboy]

@89thunderchunky proper job :-)

[snipe4ever]

who has to pay for it????

[08scionFM]

all the utilities up there are going to be deeper in the ground due to the frost depth... my area here in ohio is between 3 and 4 feet from surface elevation. Possibly goes a little deeper under pavement.

[michaelfarm]

Alright Bloke, shut that valve off. Be sure to get it good and tight now, we don't want any water seeping in as we solder these fitt... aww shit Bloke! O.K., here's what happened.....

[MrGizmo757]

they don't put mains that deep around here for that very reason. they want then to be easily fixed when they go south. you wont find one more than 6 foot deep around here. now under ground power lines are 10 feet down by law. surprisingly our natural gas lines are only 5 feet down. and they are also polyurethane lines. but they don't dig those. they use a set drill. and drill those into the ground. sewage is only 3 feet from homes into a central 10 foot corridor under the road.

[BAD16]

All that over a cheap pig metal valve. The same thing happen to me when replacing the element in my water heater. Close the valve then snap the stem when you go and turn it back on. At least your not alone,the city did it too. !!!

[99minerkc]

Who has to pay for this mess?

[MrGizmo757]

@99minerkc the city is responsible for maintaining all utilities outside of the residence. so anything outside of those homes the city is responsible for. inside the homes the property owner or hired contractor is responsible. in this case no one is to blame. this kind of stuff happens. i think its stupid they put those lines so deep though. here in the states you would't find one that deep. 6 feet at the most. some main corridors under the streets are super deep. but not water mains.

[siemenstraffic]

@99minerkc Usually the City has to pay for the broken main water valves. So Bloke and Joe has only got to pay for the that stuck 45 dollar valve by the old water meter.

[gringodan]

holy smokes joe and bloke heh, some days are just like that... fawk'n garbage! lol good luck.

[beast6228]

It would have only been worse if it were snowing outside, really cold and windy. Now that would have sucked.

[mustie1]

hey it musta kept going, im in NH and my waters off, 

[RESET1776]

Wow, to have a project go south and need to drop water service to 15,000 - 20,000 people...... Who could be anything but impressed???????

[BaberJacks]

lol aw well the city hade to change the valves anyways friken old shit seizes.

nicly done joe and bloke

what if the declared martall law as they can from any crisis they wish. heh

nah im a conspiracy thorist dood.

[MrTalmud]

"Washing for other Peoples" Do you have Mexicans up there also? lol

[HERONSKI128]

are those city workers in trench.where is the shoring,madness

[fusion88]

sounds like he is saying gay valves lol

[thecardrawer10]

hey, at least they were honest, admitted to 20k people losing water, all because of them :D! great job boke for even video taping it!!

[jazzeffc]

who had to pay for all that??

[chox2001]

I had trouble with those valves a hundred times they shoud be banned just a tiny thread and a nut taking the whole weight of the valve gate.

If I was you I would have rushed round and fixed all the rets of the meters just incase you get more of those.

you could have froze the pipe tho it would have saved all the hassle.

[delmontcrusier]

you poor fellers got cought in the domino effect lol.Amazing how somthing small snowballs into something big.But it happens all the time.

[daddytech]

PLUMBING is NEVER an easy job. that is why i HATE reworking anything plumbing related. it's usually always mucked up or rotten. specially in older buildings

[BuyMyTools]

That was interesting.

[rockford74]

Here in the States we are not responsible for anything from the meter out. Another words if anything happens before the meter the water company fixes it for free. Also if we need water shut off that's coming into a house or anything the water company shuts it off and turns it back on for free, and again is anything breaks wile they are doing this it's 100% their problem they are responsible for anything before the meters.

[666TECHNO666]

lol, you should put a sign up on each condo saying: haha, your fucked now

[uNOTchingwa]

Ha! davidsfarmdoc channel is putting up the davidsfarm documentary now on their channel for free!

[TheAuzzyLife]

[GamertagRacer5353]

[boredmud]

hmmmm... yeah ooops. rather now though then when the super cold and snow hits eh!

[randeddy]

Good job Blokeymon. You have a sense for interesting things!!!!

[metalicpoo]

That the definition of SNAFU.Don't worry bloke and joe it's not your fault the city cheaped out on the valves.

[zhsy00001]

Glad you called the city to close that valve. Think if you had attempted to do it yourself and all that other stuff broke.You might have had 20,000 lawsuits aimed at you. What a mess, and good luck. Please follow up with the aftermath.

[88GTi]

Wow...You don't mess around do you Bloke?

Don't touch any light switches now...Don't want the whole city without power...haha!!!

[redneckbryon]

Feel sorry for you man, alout more work, also feel sorry for the people that live there. Is that the same condo development that you live at?

Maybe Joseph video may come true.

[sk84life0]

wow who knew it would end up in a massive hole . lol a little job and ends up being a pain in the a*s

[FluffyPinkBuniRabbit]

Water valves, how do they work?

[cjhoylemusic]

that was a really cool video! Thanks for sharing Bloke!

[210johndeere]

omg

[k73mrviking]

thats funny shit

[etniesannex05]

Nice work guys. Dun goof'd bad and ppl gunna be angry!

[S0thernman]

OK i just have to say this just after this video ended and the ads showed up on the screen the first vid that was there was britney spears ops i did it again

[4HitsWilystyle]

just like auto body estimates, the estimate is always open, for this exact reason, unforeseen problems.

the city will eat that bill, not your fault, you didn't turn the main valve out there.

It's there aged plumbing they installed.

I once had my gas line repaired in my front yard out to the main in the street, ended up shutting down the whole street and repairing there old shitty lines for about 4 square miles.

[bicostp]

Then to fix that valve they have to shut the valve upstream of that one off. Then THAT one shears off and they have to shut off the valve above THAT. Eventually all the plumbing in the entire continent of North America gets shut off because you guys had to fix that one little valve.

[YouBocaj67Tube]

@bicostp Whahahaha

[YuorDmub]

lol this suxs

[wintergreen420]

holy shit bloke. that is madness eh. jeez

[akrackenberger]

@CrazyBritishBloke are joe and you responsible for the bill or will be the condo owner be?
