"Get out of my way! if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't be calling me ! I think i split my side laughing so hard Steve i just have to say this.... You're my new Hero
Steve, New years day I thought of you. A good fiends daughter had no heat, the first guy came in and said she needs a new system, 2nd guy put a transformer in and fixed the heater. 2nd guy was a honest guy just like you, wish there was more people like you out there. Thank You
Dude, I love your "New Yawk" accent. I moved from Long Island when I was 12 to California. No accent out here. Your videos are spot on, thanks from an old handyman now in Lake Havasu City, Az.
He wanted to watch you do it Steve, so next time instead of the pliers he could get his torch out. 😂😂😂 Imagine that guy getting a torch out and trying to get that off.
Is this the same guy that needed some bolts tightened on his water heater. And was talking about his bleeding head and bloody rags? He did a number on that valve! 😊
My flippin' upstair toilet valve had a small trickle and set off my flippin' septic alarm. Nice red light in the yard on Christmas Eve. I thought "What would Steve do?". I had the parts and changed out the fill valve. (Always keep a back-up parts) Checked the sewer clean out and no back up water to the house connection. O.K! Took 20 hours for the flippin' septic alarm to reset, as they do. Thanks Steve!
It was probably leaking from the sewage pipe, so they just went round it with the caulk, not forgetting where the screws are. Out of sight, out of mind mama.
His look identical to the ones I got from harbor freight that often tear quite quickly. My boss got these orange gloves which are textured on one side that seem extremely rugged but the name eludes me now.
Yep the ‘80s. A raspberry purée Kohler Rialto. Very expensive to replace. Steve was wise to move the lid out of the bathroom and keep it safe from breaking.
Those toilets will, indeed, plug up if too much is flushed through at once. However, the low design of the tank keeps them from ever overflowing. When the bowl fills, the water level equalizes with the tank and the fill valve shuts off. They literally can’t overflow. They also originally came with special fill valves to pump water into the rim, because it was above the level of the flapper. Without this new fill valve, you’ll only get water swirling around as you flush, not a full rinse. Kind of the predecessor to the proprietary designs of today, and replacement fill valves for these are super expensive and hard to find these days. Not sure why they went out of style, to be honest.
The pepto toilet might still have some life left in it...there has to be rebuilt kits or new OEM flush valves available. The owner will take a douche to his wallet to have both vintage fixtures replaced😂
Gotta love how the guy rigged a fluidmaster fill valve to work in this Rialto toilet. KOHLER sells a kit that restores the original fill valve which has an old-time float ball and rod. Why pay KOHLER $125 when an $8 fluidmaster will do the job. Haaaa
See he goes to try to save money and messed everything up and now Steven needs to clean up his mess! I hope he charged him a bunch of money to fix that mess.
That’s funny, the guy used the term “shoemaker”, the guy is saying the guy who did the job was a “helper”, not the real plumber. I don’t think Steve picked up on it. He sounds like a guy who likes cannolis and pasta. My Dad used the shoemaker term. That’s some funny shet right there. Steve, you charging by the hour for this job? Talk about helicopters. When you make your 10 best videos for 2023, this guy tops all helicopters, seems to me, especially on weekends. Why not rip that shet toilet out and put a real man’s toilet in there, one of those white Gerbers. Extra silicone floor seam and all. Heck, Molly would not put up with weekend work, is she in the plumbers Union? 💪😎👍🇺🇸. Happy New Year.
I bet the guy didn’t know which way to take off the valve, and turned it clockwise. To loosen. Didn’t matter it was sweated on anyway, could have been threaded on back there. And the handle would have snapped off if cranking on the handle. Triple rate plus double factor the later for pain and suffering. 😲🔥. Not a penny less. Reminds me of paid mechanics who tighten lug nuts with hammer wrenches, thank god I can avoid paid idiots, my dad was a real mechanic, NYC subway system. I was his helper fixing his own car, I guess it rubbed off when hanging out with him as a little guy, watching mostly. I’m 65 still remember him patching a muffler as a kid, on the family station wagon. By the way, what’s with that tile job, blind as a bat the tile guy? Steve’s going to get a stroke on weekend work. Need hazard pay. The guy said big company did work? Hopefully Steve is getting a kick out of my post. And lay off the beers. No more beers. Drink plenty of water.
The only major issue has with that color. As far as weekends go, triple rate. Otherwise don’t answer the phone. I bet there are 24 hr types on call 365 find them on the internet. Just turn off the water, and use a bucket, fill the bucket and dump it fast into the bowl. Watch it all go down the same hole. Takes no more than 1/2 a 5 gallon Sheetrock bucket. Just dump it all real fast one shot. No flapper nor valve. Use the tub to fill bucket. Ask me, I graduated from engineering school. Was doing it for months when I couldn’t close the main valve in fear of it breaking right off. And the toilet and sink never had valves. That’s a real house I lived in, a cape cod build on Long Island NY, in 1949. Why the F do we need valves? When there is a main house valve in the basement? . And the ultimate bottom line, no modern day wifee to deal with. Otherwise broke for life, early death, or waiting around to die. 😳😲🧨
Dude that twist had been there for years see the green that took years to grow he did need a new valve because it wouldn't shut down completely a lonely old man u were so new York Rude to him lol😮
And I would say that's a good day that's actually normal cuz if it doesn't you know you'll eventually have a toilet that doesn't have enough water in it to flush things down it if it's just barely has a little drizzle I would that's not enough that's like a jack up your water bill that you should even care
Brings back memories of my parents house built in the 50s 🤣🤣🤣 as a Portuguese man myself most of my breathen couldn't find their ass with both hands go to UA-cam learn how to do things to fix your home correctly your car etc. no excuses today willful ignorance
It’s like a show where you can’t wait for the next episode, always entertaining, yet informative.
"Get out of my way! if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't be calling me ! I think i split my side laughing so hard
Steve i just have to say this.... You're my new Hero
Steve tells 'em like a boss
I love being from MA where you can call someone a dumb dumb and they don’t even get offended.
Or say queer 😂
@@PlumbingRight My hubby always says "moron"

This is hilarious. Flippen dum dum, that's extremely funny!
Laughing so hard I can hardly breathe. "If you knew what you were doin, you wouldn't be calling me." Priceless!!!!!
I have to laughed my ass of , very funy, Steve is the best, total comedy.
The pink toilet... she's a beauty mama!
I am thinking either him or the wife clog that often with their logs
The toilet is a 1980s-1997 Raspberry Purée Kohler Rialto. Pretty rare to find, and were extremely expensive.
Hated it the year my mom painted my room pink!
Raspberry puke
This guy knew to call Steve...hooked on Steve for rest of his life! :)
Dude, I love your "New Yawk" accent. I moved from Long Island when I was 12 to California. No accent out here. Your videos are spot on, thanks from an old handyman now in Lake Havasu City, Az.
Steve has a New England accent, not NY
Everyone has an accent. Depends on what you’re ears are used to hearing…no accent out here lol. Sure.
Steve, that was a tough one, worry about in the wall breakage. Good job on fixing that one !!
A flapper was giving me a headache. 3 times I tried. I knew this video would help... THE HANDLE!!! Never thought to check that. Thank You!
I was hoping the guy didn't actually turn the water off 🤣 Steve really would have lost it on him.
Happy New year to everyone and Steve
Wow! miss molly was really excited there! 😊
Steve go get em
Those Kohler fill valves are insanely expensive
Awesome! Vid steve
He wanted to watch you do it Steve, so next time instead of the pliers he could get his torch out. 😂😂😂 Imagine that guy getting a torch out and trying to get that off.
🤣😂Never a dull moment!!
You are correct, if that twisted pipe would have split open water gushes quickly, would have been a bad flood.
Great job Steve.
Try not to be so mean to the old man next time.
You got soft hands
I bet the guy that siliconed his toilet to the tile floor was nice to him. 😮
Isn't it called tough love, my friend?
Charge him double for being a helicopter.
The Resident Is A Hovercraft😁
Miss Molly!!!
Customer Relations = "You Dum Dum"!! LOL
Gotta remember that for work tomorrow 😅
Steve is too funny! 😅😅
You don't see those colors anymore Steve, great video and fix! Remain safe and keep the videos coming 👍 👌 ☝️ 🫵
What did He put on that Cut Off, a great Big Pipe Wremch on it?
If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough!
Steve, you are salt of the earth 😂, the world needs more of you!
That’s a joke.
Back the hell up guy ! Don't hover over my toolbox. If you knew what you were doing you wouldn't have called me, you dum dum !
Priceless ! 😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Fuckig funny.
Awesome videos
Is this the same guy that needed some bolts tightened on his water heater. And was talking about his bleeding head and bloody rags? He did a number on that valve! 😊
He sure gave it the ol' "hiya doin?"

Guy took pliers to a soldered supply. LoL. HOLY SHIT MAMMA!! Can't make this shit up.
I doubt that calk under the toilet is 40 years old.
That Caulk looks new to me. 40 year caulk would have some mold spots on it
It was probably leaking from the sewage pipe, so they just went round it with the caulk, not forgetting where the screws are. Out of sight, out of mind mama.
@@SyNdicateZ81 Not to mention the accumulated piss and shit Lol.
Holes in the tank??? I would find some way to plug those.
Steve said after one of them working man lunches, he'll plug that sucka up. 😂
That old lead solder is hard to remove
No, not really, it has a lower melting point than lead free solder. It does shoot small sparks when it turns to liquid, though.
Steve what kind of rubber gloves do you use I cant find any that dont tear after 5 minutes?
His look identical to the ones I got from harbor freight that often tear quite quickly. My boss got these orange gloves which are textured on one side that seem extremely rugged but the name eludes me now.
This guy would make the Three Stooges look like pikers in any of their plumbing episodes.
That toilet needs a fuzzy seat
That bathroom is wild! What decade is this from, 1980's?
I'd guess late 60s
Yep the ‘80s. A raspberry purée Kohler Rialto. Very expensive to replace. Steve was wise to move the lid out of the bathroom and keep it safe from breaking.
Hello Steve!
hello
Stevie Lav school of customer service degree strikes again 😂
Dumb I would tell him to not to disturb u when u trying to fix it 😊
U do amazing work steve l
“I’ll block this sucker up” 😂
50/50👍🏻
Steven,this guy is a Hoover Craft 😂😂😂
steve is great with coustomer relations he is my inner ego just that i haven't lost my patients
If you think that then you must be as rude as he is.

Funny again Steve 😂
Howdy Steve and Molly
You grounded that helicopter
He is in Steve’s hula hoop
You should get double time pay for that mess!!!!
customer gave it ole how you doing to valve.
Portuguese English talk: maybe a shoe maker was first time. That is why, I call you. 😂
The pepto toilet might still have some life left in it...there has to be rebuilt kits or new OEM flush valves available. The owner will take a douche to his wallet to have both vintage fixtures replaced😂
Try this with a pro press!!
hahahaha now that is a first by Joe Homeowner. Trying to twist off a soldered valve.
Old ethnic dads. Reminds me of my dad 😂
That was a tough spot
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Come on guy. Dumb dumb. 😂😂😂😂
Steve his dad was Charles Atlas!! He told him to make sure that it doesn’t leak 😜!!!!!
He's probably trying to shut off the water but did not know how to do it you might want to show him how to do that sweet as twist the pipe again
Gotta love how the guy rigged a fluidmaster fill valve to work in this Rialto toilet. KOHLER sells a kit that restores the original fill valve which has an old-time float ball and rod. Why pay KOHLER $125 when an $8 fluidmaster will do the job. Haaaa
Water lines should be metal , plastic ones cracks in time, floods room .
Crawling around toilets is always gross!..no expensive shark bite stuff in the 60’s
Hello Steve
hello
See he goes to try to save money and messed everything up and now Steven needs to clean up his mess! I hope he charged him a bunch of money to fix that mess.
Also on a side note. People, please clean the outside of the toilet, that dusty dirty mess makes me want to gag. All you need is a bleach wipe.

Dracula's house
Triple time pay 😮
That’s a mess of a job 😂
Trying to save a buck, guys got millions,
That's how you stay rich
I recommend a new toilet
I bet the guy didn’t know which way to take off the valve, and turned it clockwise. To loosen. Didn’t matter it was sweated on anyway, could have been threaded on back there. And the handle would have snapped off if cranking on the handle. Triple rate plus double factor the later for pain and suffering. 😲🔥. Not a penny less.

Steven & Mrs Molly , Happy New Year , God bless y'all. It's a shit show from hell 😂
This guy is a twin rotor helicopter type😂😂
Stop yelling at him he is old
If that’s the case mine is bigger than yours since no privacy lol
Yes that happens to me quite often I call that the helicopter hovering over you love your videos great job Steve.❤
In case you're not aware, there is a more diplomatic way to speak to a high paying customer.
50/50 is good stuff…..can’t find it anymore.

👍
Don't hold anything back, Steve. LOL. Double the labor if the customer works on it first!
It's a Stanley Steamer MaMa.
I'd get rid of that relic
I would have walk away shitshow 😂
Dude that twist had been there for years see the green that took years to grow he did need a new valve because it wouldn't shut down completely a lonely old man u were so new York Rude to him lol😮
He coulda paid you in chorizo.
Where’s the working man’s lunches?
With the small size of that bowl the chorizos clog it up
He called him a dum dum..
And I would say that's a good day that's actually normal cuz if it doesn't you know you'll eventually have a toilet that doesn't have enough water in it to flush things down it if it's just barely has a little drizzle I would that's not enough that's like a jack up your water bill that you should even care
Unbelievable
Please stop being rude to your customers that pay you.
Seems a little queer here , Steve's the greatest
Steve is freakin' hilarious. A true old school plumber.
