 folks this is Dan Giles coming to you with a plumbing fails video just a few pictures that I've kind of come up with to show you some fails that I've seen Teflon tape around the fittings well you know Teflon seals you know and that's a short downpipe these pictures that I'm showing you here and this it's just a few pictures it's not really anything crazy or outrageous but it's enough to make you think you know it's like what's going through people's minds that would make them do things like they do you know like putting this metal nut on this PVC fitting with electrical tape as the sealant on it we all know that that's not proper and I don't think that people should be doing stuff like this if you're gonna go through all the trouble of doing this why not go ahead and do it right it's one of my mottos anyway you know if you're not gonna do it right the first time when are you gonna have time to go back and do it again because this kind of stuff will come back and bite you in the butt now I got to say this is pretty ingenious right here this bucket even the handle on the bucket is facing straight forward this there's a lot of attention to detail on this I'm not really sure how long it's gonna last but it's that's it just flat out a genius right there but still you know I kind of understand where you can't get a tank for that toilet and you got to do something especially if it's the only toilet in your house this right here I don't even I can't begin to understand the reasoning behind this this is a blender this is something you're gonna make up margaritas and frozen drinks with you know and that's the garbage disposal they're using this as a blender it's actually got wired it's wired coming from the wall into the blender so it's attached to a switch so it's actually being used I don't know if it's smart dumb but and I'm not really sure here what this is draining into this copper pipe you know maybe it's off the dishwasher I'm not really sure but there's got to be other ways to do it not to mention that flex drain line over on the other side coming out of the garbage disposal that's you might as well just put a straight pipe on it I don't understand why and if somebody really thinks this is gonna stop the flood you know a Walmart bag and a shop plastic shopping bag but it does seem to be holding I'm not seeing any water around it but the things that people do you know it's just one of those things and the mother of invention is necessity or necessity is the mother of invention however you want to say it it's not really cool I know I don't just understand it if you're gonna use a whole tube of caulking on the base of the toilet you probably ought to get with DAP and see if you can get some sponsorship they make things like rags and stuff you could actually clean that up but I can't tell you how many times I've seen this situation especially gas stations that it's just like okay we'll throw some cock on it that'll stop it from leaking and we don't really care what it looks like here's a MacGyver isn't for you here's some duct tape duct tape fixes everything until it starts leaking I'm not really sure what's hanging off the bottom of that it almost looks like a plastic I'm not really sure is that a grocery bag tied around that and then it's duct tape the the level of ingenuity here is it's very poor you know again like I said if you're not gonna do this right don't do it my god this is just my hope is that this is not something that's in somebody's rental home that a maintenance man actually did I'd be scared to be a maintenance man in business doing stuff like this these are just a few pictures I put together that I've found on the internet and seen on post and some of the groups there's a lot more out there that that could be shown I may try to find some electricals and this one has got to take this takes the cake this is truly the throne you really are stepping up and getting above and beyond your work to get up here and do your business guys I hope you've enjoyed this like I said my name is Dan Giles give me a thumbs up on this if you liked it I'm gonna do an electrical video like this pretty soon so hey give me a thumbs up give me a like and I'll see you soon
