Hey Anthony - great progress! Keep up the work! Very inspiring and also a great reference for those of us who may follow in your footsteps ... one question I had about the framing on your house ... did you work on framing in your past at some point, or did you just inform yourself about the practices and inspection requirements before starting off on the build? Thanks a lot. Love your videos.
is the spray foam fire proof kind? Alot of states are banning spray foam on rafters as once it it burns. Its extremely difficult to put out by fire dept and creates alot more damage when on fire.. everything has to be ripped out to rebuild the burned foam wood .. just curious.. for insurance purposes.. make sure you check..
That sucks man. I've worked with a lot of plumbers and with pvc as long as you prime and glue I've never seen a joint leak. I hope you found what you were doing wrong and the rest goes smoothly. I give you a ton of credit for taking this project on yourself.
With any PVC, it is important to slightly bevel the outside ends of the pipe before gluing. If you don't put a chamfer on the ends, the squared end of the tube or pipe will scrape the glue off as it goes into the fitting and make for a weak or leaking joint. Also, only buy enough glue for the job at hand and make sure it is within its expiration date. Once the glue has been opened, some of the components can evaporate leaving a lesser quality glue. Clean and prime the ends and fittings before gluing.
