Some will say that the electric dolly is overkill for this, and if this is all I was using it for, then yes, it indeed would be. But the homeowner of the finished maple steps (as the second flight I had to go down) inside was pretty stoked I wasn't dragging a regular dolly up and down the stairs damaging the stair nosing. • • #theladyplumber #electricdolly #toolreviews

Roughing in some waterlines on an addition. It was a bit of an afterthought but there’s always a way. Some people freak out when they see waterlines so close to the interior wall, but what they may not know is that, yes it is legal here and what’s worse is frozen lines that can potentially freeze burst in your wall. Which yes, I’ve seen many times, and it is devastating. Can the wall be furred out, yes but that is not what this homeowner wants as it’s already a limited space. Some may say the drywaller is going to hit that?! Well the drywallers I have ever used mark the locations of waterlines with a “no screw” line as that’s their profession and they are great at what they do. And with any plumbing in the walls, always take photos for your own reference and to provide to your client.

The #1 question I get asked when I’m working on live lines is, “Why don’t you have the valve shut?!” So I figured I’d show you (in a controlled environment and already flooded crawlspace due to the leak that’s being repaired) The water pressure is too great to allow a connection between the pipe and fitting, whether it be a slip connection or more commonly what I do is threaded on cisterns. Having the valve open allows the water to have a path through the piping so you can make the connection and tighten it up. And yes, sometimes you do have to work live, on water tanks to prevent having to drain and waste thousands of gallons, or if there’s no curb stop, such as a mobile home park or private water distribution, or it just can’t be found, which was the case here, I spent over a hour looking for the meter to repair the leaking coupling below the shut off. In rural communities sometimes “calling the city” isn’t an option, it doesn’t work that way here. The options were given to the homeowner and they said send it. Always ask first, just be prepared to get soaked. • • #hotswap #theladyplumber #plumbing #plumber

Can I lift a waterlogged pressure tank into the back of the van? Yes, of course I can. But what you don’t see is the two flights of stairs that I just brought this tank down from. Zero scratches on the hardwood stair nosing, zero damage to the stairs, zero pinched nerves. Is the Powermate perfect? Definitely not. It’s heavy and bulky and takes up prime real estate in the shop. But, I have moved full 6’ tall safes weighing around 650lbs, water and sediment logged 80 gal water heaters, washing machines and many other heavy things with it. I bought this tool (and it wasn’t cheap) knowing I would only need it a handful of times per year, but working mostly by myself, it has been worth every single penny. • • #theladyplumber #powermate #plumber #plumbing #toolreviews

First time using the PowerMate to move a sediment ridden water heater up stairs (there was actually 1 right and narrow set as well as these). It’ll be a smoother process the more we use it, but it made the job a breeze. Some will say man up and lift it, well guess what, been there and done that. Yes, I can lift it, but why when I have a powered stair climber hand truck for that. This is way cooler and way easier on my blown out shoulder.

Improper installations, ugly installs, leaky roofs and a safety hazard. Plumbers installing roof flashings usually doesn’t end well, unless you’re also a roofer of course. @KozyKollar allows the installations of these compression and IAPMO approved roof flashings it without having to step foot on the roof. Now let’s go over this quick and easy installation! * * #kozykollar #roofflashing #roofer #plumbingvent #shingleroof #theladyplumber
