Relocate a Bathtub - Drain and Vent Pipe Issues - LIVE Stream 02-02-2022

Hi, I'm Tim Carter

This is Ava Builder, and I am live. Glad you're here. You just missed it

Not 60 seconds ago, a bunch of the snow released from the roof over me, and it sounds like an, I mean, it is an avalanche, but it sounds like an earthquake

And it would have been really kind of neat to see if that would have been captured here on the live stream. So we have a little bit of a warm up here in New Hampshire

I think it's the first time it's been about 32 degrees in weeks and weeks

And very welcome. I was very unusual. It'll be outside today and just a, what I'm dressed in now

just a long-sleeved t-shirt on this vest. Perfectly warm. So it's going to be warm tomorrow

And then we're supposed to get another big dump of snow. And we'll see how that goes

We'll see how that goes. Today we're going to talk a little bit about the relocating a bathtub

I had a person asked me about that. Actually he did a consult with me one of my paid consults I go into kind of some really good detail It a really great example of you know what happens when you get into a remodeling job and when you start

to tear things apart and it's like, uh-oh. He had one of those, he had an uh-oh and didn't know what to do

I also want to talk a little bit about the digital library of mine. I've kind of held the price

where it's at for the time being, I think it's a good idea. And it's just something you need to know

about. And you can get like over 112 of my digital products for less than 50 cents a piece

That's a pretty good deal. I mean, it's a great deal. So I actually, I'll put the

I'll put the link to that in the chat right now because I don't want to forget about doing that

But it's a really, really good deal. And you should take advantage of it. I mean, you get all these checklists

You get my roofing ripoff book. If you're building a new home, you get all the entire huge package of all the stuff I have about building a new home

The lot checklist the bid comparison spreadsheet It just so many things I don have them all memorized But when you go to that link just scroll down you see everything that in the digital library It a lot of stuff Like I said it only 50 cents each If you were to buy them all separately like if you said no no no I don want to do that I just want to buy them separately Well you spend about So it a huge deal If you have any questions about your home please put them in the chat You know

or ask anything you have to ask about. That's, you're the one who basically kind of controls the live stream

In other words, your questions, your comments are what, or where we go

Simple as that. Let's talk a little bit about relocating a bathtub

What's involved? The, typically when you're going to relocate a bathtub, you're involved in a pretty major remodeling job because either you're changing the direction of it

You're playing musical chairs with the fixtures in the bathroom, whatever it might be

And if you going to do that you going to you going to encounter a little bit of challenge a little bit of hardship with respect to the drain and the vent pipe because you got to have those And the water lines are generally really easy

Water lines, and they've gotten a lot easier, especially if you go with PECs, because PECs pipes

they install just like electric cables. You know, they're flexible, and you can just draw holes and put them wherever you want

It's really magical. Good stuff. Good stuff. but the drain and the vent line, that's more problematic

And I'll tell you with the story of what happened to this gentleman. And I have a column about it, and you'll be able to see a photo of it at the website

It's right here. I'm going to bring it up for you. You probably ought to see this

You probably should see this photo to help you understand what I'm talking about

There we go. So take a look at that if you can. You can open up another tab

What you're going to see is this gentleman, I forget how many years ago it was

Could have been 20 years ago because that's when they were popular, maybe 30

The previous owner or he had put in a platform tub. And just think of that as basically just like a standard kitchen sink
