I installed the same garbage disposal and I get water from underneath it. Not from the bottom but the top. Could it be that I did not used the black elbow that came with it?
It sounds like it’s not draining for some reason. I’m not a plumber but You can email me some pictures at diywithmax@gmail.com and I’ll see if I can help in any way.
Did you use the plumber putty for the sink to flange connection? If you don’t have a dishwasher then you should keep the drain plug in. If you removed it then it will leak there. Also these should be a rubber washer with that black elbow so if you used a different one it may not seat properly.
A garbage disposal that's leaking from the mounting hardware can be caused by a number of issues, including: Loose mounting bolts: The mounting bolts may need to be tightened. To do this, unplug the disposal, remove any obstructions, and use a wrench to tighten the bolts until they're snug. Double check your assembly: The mounting assembly may not be properly assembled. Excessive plumber's putty: There may be too much plumber's putty under the sink flange. Something’s to consider.
Google luck brother. I’m not surprised it’s a lot of work. If you live in the place make sure you have great fan in the window to pull the dust out and test your popcorn for asbestos if you’re removing popcorn ceilings. Cover everything with plastic. We did not live in the place so we did not take that step. We used n95 masks but respirators are better. Spend the money it’s worth it. And let me know if you have any questions I’m happy to help in any way I can.
@@DIYwithMAX thanks! House built in 2000, already removed the popcorn by wetting it, but like you said, that’s the easy part, now it’s the sanding and mudding part. Then paint
@MakingTheVision my biggest advice is do your best on the spackling and sanding that will guarantee you best results when you lay primer and paint. Let me know how it goes and thank you for liking the video and subscribing.

I noticed spacing right off the bat and a bit confused thinking its a new look of subway style layout. if i stare it looks likes steps, anyway looks good and unique.
Thank you for your feedback back. Had to go that route to have nice corner and good size tile around all the outlets. But at the end it all worked out.
While a food processor will still operate without a grounding wire, it's recommended to connect one for added safety. I’m not an electrician so this is just a suggestion.
Do you also stand with the Russians? Or do you just stand with the Nazis. That’s what the Ukrainians are…they’re Nazis. Me… I stand with my fellow Americans. I can give two shittts about other nations. I’d like to hear that Putin has captured Zelensky and put an end to my tax dollars being laundered through those foreign scumbags.
Thanks for the perfect length video to explain this. Not too long and straight to the facts. I am a novice and had the intricate cornice up in my house with no mistakes at all. Thanks.

When attaching the disposal to the flange it takes two people. One to hold the disposal to the flange and the other to turn the flange. Using a screw driver for additional support is not reasonable. I have a 2 compartment sink and this only shows 1 compartment sink which makes it look easy.

These 45 degree cuts lead to gaps when the molding expands and contracts with changes in the humidity. Even the inside corner video shows spots where the corner is opening up and cauld seperating. To do it riight you need to cope cut those inside corners.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The process I show here has been very successful in my projects. I have had to fill in some spots with caulk maybe 10 years later here and there but I find that my method does work and works well.
A good attempt at making this video. But, I must note that after initially setting the tile on the cement adhesive, it is important to move (slightly) the tile back and forth to slightly collapse the cement ridges to remove the air pockets and get better bonding.

Great overview, but please... don't use those J-bend flex adapters (shown at 2:46). They become clogged very easily. Always try to use smooth pipe adapters and adjust your install to make it all fit properly, even if that means some extra parts are needed. When I moved into my house, the "plumber" used those flex pipes in the kitchen and both baths and when I pulled them out, they were a mess. Full of crud that accumulated in the folds. No wonder my sink stunk so bad.
Yes you are 💯 correct. We actually swapped it out few day later as you suggested because it was not sturdy enough, but I could see how it would get clogged and stink really bad. Great tip thank you.

Hahaha I’m glad you asked. It’s special formulated mud that goes on purple or pink and then when it dries, it turns white so this way you visually can confirm that whatever you’re repairing is completely dry and ready for sanding. And it looks good on Camera to show just how many repairs are done on these ceilings lol. It’s not necessary, but it does help if you’re working in multiple rooms and you’re standing one room while the other one’s dry and vice versa. It was super helpful in the bathrooms because of the moisture, it showed us that everything we fixed had to dry overnight instead of us, sanding it not completely dry and having to redo our work.
Did you add the crown molding because you couldnt get the corners perfect? Im removing thr popcorn right now.. myself in my new house. 4 rooms had the popcorn and im struggling now to get the corners perfect. I put a sander attachment on my drill and ive been going at it at an angle but i still cant get every little piece. Its super annoying.
It sounds like you're putting in some solid effort! The corners can be really tricky when dealing with popcorn ceilings. Here's what I recommend: 1. Use a Hand Sander: Instead of the drill attachment, try using a hand sander or sanding sponge with a fine grit (120-150). This gives you more control, especially in the corners. 2. Light Pressure: When sanding, apply light pressure. You don’t want to dig too deep and damage the drywall underneath. 3. Wet Sanding: You can also dampen the area slightly with a spray bottle before sanding. This helps keep dust down and makes it easier to remove stubborn bits. 4. Finishing Touch: Once you've sanded as much as you can, if there are still imperfections, use a thin layer of joint compound to smooth out the corners. Let it dry, sand it lightly again, and you should be good to go! Molding is always a great finishing touch, but this should help you get those corners perfect!
@kerrypope767 That now all make sense lol. Sorry you had to deal with that at 3:00am lol. You were probably cursing 🤬 me up and down lol. When I do another video about disposal I will make sure to emphasize that step.
I saw the video, and I am an expert, I saw many mistakes that only lead to mediocre, imprecise and slow work. When designing a room, you just need to clear the room, choose the design, and put a starting line, always use the level even if the floor is level, always put the shims even if you use plastic levelers, for the grout use the sponge with a bucket for tilers, and to cut the tiles just use the hand tile cutter. The problem is not watching the video and seeing the work in person, you will certainly notice many defects.
Wow buddy thank you for all your great feedback. I hope you are just as tough on your apprentices on their first tile job. This video is of my first ever tile job so is there any positive feedback?
Max, you went further than most were willing to go and that’s the hardest part for first time DIYers. Be proud of yourself for your hard work and thank you for allowing us to experience it with you. GOOD WORK!
I noticed that you did not show anything on the wiring portion. Is this garbage disposer pre-wired or do you need to cut any wires and add a metal strain relief connector. I purchased the same red 1.25 hp American Standard and planned on replacing an old Insinkerator with the same 3 screw mount. Good video by the way.
That’s because mine came with wire and an outlet plug 🔌 on the end and I already have an outlet under the counter. I believe there are instructions with the unit on how to hardwire it if that’s the setup you have.
I’m so proud of you for taking this on your self. It’s not an easy job but you got this. I hope you have some knee pads or something soft to put under those knees. Good luck you got this. If you’re comfortable send me some pictures of the finished product @ DIYwithMax@gmail.com I love seeing the products you guys are working on.
@DIYwithMAX I will certainly send you some pictures. I placed three pillows, and man, I'll tell you this much....those things are flat as can be! I need to spend money on knee pads.
@bayareatrucking I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product and yes you definitely need some knee pads. And don’t cheep out get good ones. You’re saving plenty of money doing it your self to make sure you protect your self.

My question is why at the entryway didn't you place half long tiles on both sides of walls rather than one whole and a half on opposite wall? I was just wondering. Not judging. I'm not an expert.
That is a great question. When you walk in to the condo your eye goes to the left because of all the entrances and the tile all looks whole on the left side. As for the right side the cut tile go behind the front door when it’s open and the openings on the right to the closets also give the right wall a look of having full tiles the whole way. And it allowed us to use some of its we already had to minimize waste.
Thanks for your input. If you could point out which parts you believe are inaccurate, I’d appreciate it. I strive to provide accurate and helpful information, and your feedback can help me and others improve.
You should watch a few painting videos …you have a lot to learn before you try to teach . You should paint a ceiling from wall to wall on the shortest distance , which are the walls on your left and right. And work your way back to the end of the ceiling. Keeping a wet edge in the process … you should look into the problems caused by dry edges because your paint job is full of them . the way your painting is setting up people for failure
I appreciate you’re interested in improving my painting technique! However, there are key point to clarify: When painting a ceiling in a room with a large window, the best practice is to paint in the direction of the natural light coming from the window. Here’s why: Minimize Visible Imperfections: By painting from side to side of a large window, any minor imperfections, such as roller marks or uneven texture, will be more noticeable. Light from the window tends to highlight flaws if you paint across it. Direction of Painting: While painting from wall to wall can work, many professionals recommend painting in the same direction as the longest wall in the direction of natural light. This helps reduce the number of roller marks and ensures a more seamless finish, especially in larger rooms. The longest direction allows for fewer start and stop points, minimizing the chances of leaving noticeable lines or streaks. Working Your Way Across: Instead of working from one side of the room to the other, it’s often better to start from the area farthest from the exit and work your way towards it maintaining a wet edge. Maintaining a Wet Edge: You’re absolutely right about the importance of keeping a wet edge. It prevents overlapping marks and ensures an even coat of paint. If you paint too slowly or take breaks, the paint can start to dry, leading to visible lines. Painting a ceiling can be tricky, but with the right techniques, you’ll get better results. I try to keep practicing as every project is an opportunity to learn!
I’m not quite sure what decorative strip you’re referring to and I would hate to steer you in the wrong direction. Please shoot me an email at DIYwithMax@gmail.com with a picture of the part and I’ll do my best to get you the answer you’re looking for.
