Nice thinking with the window. You should probably change your plumbing to plastic some time.

Why the heck would I want to change to plastic? Who knows what that is made of, BPA maybe? People use plastic not because it's better but because it's cheaper.

@cavedude80 Yeah, same. I can't believe I just watched some guy replace a pipe in his basement for 7 minutes of my life that I'll never get back...and still it feels like time well spent.

you're the ultimate handy-man lol

@zaprodk just another way of gov't trying to get as much money from you as possible. ;p

[zaprodk]

Wow you really got lucky with the length on the pipe :-) - Are you really allowed to do this work yourself ? In Denmark where I live, it's forbidden to do plumbing stuff yourself, and are obligated to get an professional do it....

using fingers to apply flux to pipe ends is a no-no...not only because of personal safety but also because of contaminating the flux with impurities from your finger. a flux brush only costs 10cents. really not that expensive

Matt, you are just an inspiration.

@OnionTears123 if it was cast iron that's one thing... but Copper is always better.

@havocgeneral That answers my question, i thought all solder has lead in it. Good to know.

@Waterdust2000 Learn your shit before you talk. PVC is a chemical. Copper is natural. Ill take copper over PVC for my supply.

@Danagain Most safety warnings are for lawsuit prevention. The chance of a jigsaw piece taking your eye out are slim to none.

There is nothing I wouldn't watch this guy do.
