The regs on joists are to notch 0.125 x the depth of the joist, if that’s an old 8’ Victorian joist then your allowed a 1 inch depth which is 25.4mm, you can go through the centres with a spade bit and that’s 0.25 x the depth, you can only notch and drill within 1/3 the span of the joist where it’s anchored. 👍 I recently went back to college to study for my acs like 2days ago and this was the topic of the day 😂

@cheeseburgerbeefcake 2 года назад

Great to see the response to a difficult situation from Cory and the team, no quibbles just get it sorted! It sounds like you picked up a few lessons learnt from springing that leak (and good experience for Ruben), so it's not a waste. The tool-less keystone jacks, and your termination on them looked really nice and tidy - great job! It's incredibly frustrating to see sparks take off more cable jacket than is required to terminate when working with twisted pair - the jacket, twists and the cables proximity to each other are all by design, and when you take any of them away you will lose signal integrity - when you are terminating ethernet cabling on longer runs (to an EV in a garage for example) this could cause strange network problems on customer networks.

@steveb1856 2 года назад

Feel for you with the pipe. Lifting bedroom floorboards to run speaker cables, circular saw set 1mm deeper than floorboards, first cut found 10mm microbore heating pipes in a 9mm notch in joist! Fountain of scalding water, no quick shut off, rip up board, fill void with towels, turn of CH pump and try and drain down heating as fast as possible, then have to do the dirty plumber stuff, before finishing cabling and repairing floor.

Emergency pipe-freezing kits are a very good thing to keep on your van and some basic pushfit pipe connectors!! Ive done exactly that with a multi tool twice, put a screw through a pipe once and the best one ever was a lead water main above a larve and plaster ceiling I put a holesaw through drilling out a downlight. I penciled out the cutout size, poked a pilot braddle up making 4 tiny holes on oposite sides of the circule and there was a lead watermain up there in the most unlucky place possible. Flooded the flat i was working in and flat below that one before I found the stopcock in the street to turn it off......haha. luv it

@farmersteve129 2 года назад

We all make mistakes, but you had been looking at the pipes moments before🤣! My usual approach if there's any chance of hitting pipes or cables is to carefully do the last few mm with a knife as you'll normally feel the pipes etc before you go through. I used to snap the last few mm, but learnt the hard way that splinters can pierce pipework 😭

I find microfibre cloths are great for directing water into one area to contain a water leak.

If you have hit the heating circuit and it looks like it, isolating the cold water mains won't do jack... We had sparks do the same thing at work, they went through 22mm flow/return heating circuit and dumped most of the water in the circuit down the back wall of my server room.. For instances like this and if you have access, have some speedifit/pushlock cap/ends (or bungs) so you can isolate quickly...

@TheSadcyclist 2 года назад

Worked in a house from hell last year, kitchen fitter hadnt installed all the units or cowl for cooker hood, so first i drill through the mains water pipe at head height, running up the side of the window,got soaked kitchen soaked, chisel hole in new plaster around pipe to fit a new piece of pipe for plumber, who then doesnt fix leak properley. Went back 2 days later and leak still evident as a dribble. Then told to fix cowl above cooker hood, and drilled through gas pipe, even though it was an electric cooker, always check behind cooker for a gas supply so ran and turned off gas, house stunk of gas opened all windows etc, not at all happy.Plumber called out to cap off gas pipe . Stuff happens. Top tip if you drill a pipe under flooring, the water will fill the gap between the joists, and eventually the weight of water will pull the ceiling down, seen that, so drill a few small holes ti allow water to drain out, place buckets underneath or use a wet and dry vac to vac up any water before it causes damage.

@stephen071195 2 года назад

It's alright Cory! I went through a mains pipe and in turning the stopcock off in the street as there isn't one in the house (it's an old mill house), didn't realise I'd turned off the water supply to 4 other properties till someone knocked and asked if the water was off 😅

@docdr7199 Год назад

When we got our kitchen replaced, we asked for some sockets to be relocated. On day one the old kitchen got ripped out and there was lots of noise... After the team had gone water started dripping through the ceiling above! What had happened was the "electrician" had tried to make existing cables longer by pulling/tugging/hauling on them, and had dislodged a cable clip. The tip of the nail holding it to a bulkhead had pierced a plastic central heating pipe when the house was built, and had been sitting there quite happily for nearly 10 years. Fortunately once the pipe leaked it was decompressed, so it didn't cause too much damage... Part of the kitchen ceiling still had to come down then get replastered.

@mikehainsworth747 2 года назад

Cory it may be a good idea to cut floorboards a little further away from objects so the plumber has something to play with.

Did it myself years ago, luckily I had enough pipe to repair it myself but after midnight when I left that job!

Drilled through a ceiling in a tiny cloakroom, hit a heating pipe, black, smelly hot water started pouring onto me, couldn’t open the door straightaway as I was using a stepladder which took up all the floor space, only a head torch for light. 🤣🤣 Never apologise for saying “turn everything off” btw, old heating systems had header tanks with a feed from the mains so at least if you shut off the main supply you’ve only got the header tank volume, plus rads of course, but you shut them off too so all good. Great video again!

It happens, but you can never drain the system with all the radiator valves closed.

It's not a bad shout to close off all of the radiators except the one with the drain, though. That way you won't have to drain so much.

You need some Griffon SFT-101 repair on the van for moments like that quick temporary fix until you sort it out correctly.

Mother said there'd be days like these Cory mate... 4 compression couplings later... done and move on. Show me a spark that never has breached a pipe.. show my a plumber that's never caught a cable 👍

When you lift the floor board put a small mirror between the joists. Then shine the light of a torch into the mirror. By moving the angle of the mirror you'll be able to see in the mirror down as far as the light can go.

I have fixed problems like that by cutting the pipe down line and sliding over a quick flow pipe joint over the cut down line slid the joint over the cut. Solder it and use a second joint were I make the cut. Easy fix in tight spaces.

Not a very dry January! We’ve all done it mate. Mine was fixing a floor board with carpet fitters on the way…..

It's certainly great content :) Kudos to Jordan for being a great boss and giving help rather than just shouting. I'm sure Cory's month of hell will end soon!

You're getting view bombed mate, respect for not using cheesy dramatic music during the diaster.

Great Content , I think this is a great vidz to Learn from as a new Sparky . Lifting up floorboards you have to be aware of radiators pipe . And a good tip from Cory to Set the depth of the Cutting blade. + knowing what to do if you do hit a pipe, having some knowledge of knowing what to do if you have gone through a water 💦 pipe , taking note. And can you cover a vidz. on networking insulation may be get Oliver on bored Cory that would be great . Thanks guys

I felt awful for you Cory, but things does happens to me and everyone, it's not just you. At least the plumber been and repairs is main thing. Keep it up and you have made a lots great videos. 👍

As an IT person who has worked at installations where spark’s have done network installation on s larger scale to what you have done today, echoing what you are saying from our side too…. We don’t tend to like it when a sparky does the network as much as you don’t like doing the network lol.

Nice job again guys. Meh on the pipe, it happens and ye fixed it, well, so no Biggie. Nice work on the CAT6 termination - looks clean and tidy.
