Today we repair some very inconveniently placed water lines inside my house. The previous owners, during their remodel, must have put these water lines through the air intake vent. Which basically means our water pipes were left outside, uninsulated in freezing weather. This is not a good thing. So its time to JerryRig their JerryRig with our own JerryRig. Sounds safe.

Where's your "go-nogo" gauge?
Look into shark Bite fittings if working with pex (I honestly can't remember how to spell that lol) they are plug and play fitting no tools needed really only to take them off
As a furnace technician I doubt that that particular duct is for the intake of the furnace but I could be wrong
Jerry, you should have really put a nail plate under those pipes. Someone is going to throw a screw through those pipes someday.
do you have experiance breaking houses
Believe in JESUS, we are all sinners deserving the wrath of GOD, because we sin against a holy and just and perfect GOD. Therefore we all deserve the punishment hell, but GOD in his rich grace and mercy by which he loved us sent JESUS to die for us on the cross to leave his throne and suffer for us. To be the perfect sacrifice for us because he himself was sinless and perfect. That if we would have a repentant heart and believe in JESUS and place our faith in Him, we will be saved from the eternal punishment which is hell, and be given eternal life.llll
Jajajaja
The funny handsaw occasionally repeat because crab observationally complete following a jobless squid. unhealthy, sparkling clover
He is very stingy , he doesn't want to pay to a plummer
S R B Yeah , so do I // // /
This was in my recommended while I was watching 8-Bit Guy's "My house is ruined" video
Wear a mask! Your lungs will thank you
The flat multimedia curiously bless because oil histomorphometrically frighten but a stormy rotate. standing, medical racing
May have been easier to close up and insulate that intake, and run a new one. Or, that may have not been an option.
Need to watch a proper British plasterer at work
I never knew Americans call "plaster" "mud" :o
FOAM THE PIPES FROM THE OUTSIDE SAVE ON THE MESS
In Finland we use defrost cables on waterlines witch tend to freeze. And of course we use insulation inside our walls
This guy kind of looks like the hydraulic press vhannel guy.
11:14 its a ceiling. not a roof.
Insulating the hot pipes will save you 100 dollars every year minimum. And reduce your CO2 budget.
So you had an oscillating tool but decided to hammer out the ceiling into a million pieces?
Jerry, for texturing, using a medium texture paint is the quickest option for you instead of working on the putty...
As a general contractor watching this is hilarious You did an ok job. I don’t know the codes in your area but be careful when it comes time to resell your house. Since you showed us how you did your “magic trick” repair plumbing job.
yes the ice expands about 9% in volume, howeverits not the ice that breaks the pipe, its the pressure the ice creates that blows the pipe, which is why water blows out at the pressure it does and in the area ahead of where the pipe froze. open up your taps will allow that pressure out but your pipes may still freeze in the right condition, however usually the flow will be enough to prevent ice from completely freezing under normal weather conditions. Im actually repairing my blown pipes right now after a week of sub -40 weather with windchill reaching the mid fifties minus c.
American houses are like 100% drywall, no wonder you pipes freeze in winter.
Could've just crawled in and insulated that small section of pipes....
Zack your lever valve for the water shutoff for your house should be plumbed in so that if the lever falls it should fall in the off position, good for safety.
Jerry "DIY" Rig the tool man! 😁
Didnt you get the go no go tool? might have been helpful instead of pulling to check if it is properly sealed.
I'd have drawn a board over the mud while it was wet to plane it with the rest of the ceiling as a reference. [All the facepalms I have in mind, being European, has been censored to not interfere with the point in mind]
What the hell is wrong with your house haha. This is all built so wrong I cant believe its up to code. A water line exposed to outside air? wtf
Should have insulated the pipes a bit
We'll see you next time when you have another problem in the house.
When jerryrig decide to make stuff rather than a Tear down.
Are you Johnny sins brother
Wear a dust mask man.
That was sad. Holes through joists, no insulation and a vent for nothing. Contractors these days
I remodel old homes and that furnace intake doesn't seem at all normal.
If we jerryrig there jerryrig
only in the usa do houses have air intakes 🤣🤣🤣
Your furnace draws in cold air from outside? Is this where your air filers are?
For anyone wondering, the process of this particular drywall finsh is called skip troweling. It's better and cleaner than textured ceiling finish
25 yr construction drywall knowledge
omg the work so shit my guy wtf r u doing??????? u need to spray youre texture then knock it down.
Air-cooled water pipes, how much extra for that?
Why not call a actual plumber or hvac expert safer and honestly better
you're awful.
So there's a vent right under your floor, with little to no insulation to your floor with HOT AND COLD water lines running across it... America never fails to amaze me.
Was thinking the same. /Swede
cool
First thought. He trying to look for that ghost under 10 Degrees. Anyone up for Phasmo?
You're an awesome guy jerry you do good Diy Stuff and you explain stuff In details keep it up Hope U reach 1M
Only think I would have suggested would be shark bites would be done in 15 seconds done
Kya se kya ho gaye dekhte dekhte.
Now you run the risk of puncturing that pipe if you ever do anything with your ceiling
He is the imposter because he opened the vent. 0:50
Bruh
4:27 when you realise you had an assignment due but its 1 minute past the due date.....
Popcorn(ish) ceilings ewww
Who's house did you break into this time, 47?
Great job.... 👍
4:26 best thing ever
Dude that's pex pipe. It's secured that stuffs amazing
Wish I had the money to fix problems as soon as I see them.
Old house?
Why routing outside air for house? my house doesn't do that
So your furnace doesn't draw in indoor air that you've already paid to heat to support combustion then get put back outside. This also helps prevent cold air being drawn in through every tiny crack and creating cold drafts.
For someone living in a colder climate, cutting corners on a remodel like this is absolutely ridiculous. About a foot's length of pipe in my parents house runs uninsulated but behind a thick leca block wall, and that freezes at very low temperatures (~0 F), and that was considered a big mistake here.
12:00 to make it clear and even You should use sandpaper
I still can't get over the shock of how You live in cardboard houses. I'd love to see you struggle with a similar renovation in normal European concrete houses
Hot tip, when turning your water on, do it even slower than you are. It prevents a sudden rush of pressure, which is bad for the fixtures, and usually whatever faucet is closest to the valve takes a real pounding and can ruin it.
A good Jerry rig is when you fix the problem for yourself but it becomes some else's problem later.
This Old House
I’m assuming ‘mud’ is the same as plaster in the UK? 👍
@Thanasis Bethanis plaster is always a brown colour?
I assume so. Although I've never seen plaster not being white
this stuff is so fun
They’re freezing because it’s cold as shit happens every time it gets cold in my house to
The hilarious field electronmicroscopically pass because shop immediately battle but a annoying salt. enthusiastic, low trip
Great video. The only suggestion I have is that you did a cut-erooski when you should have done a cut-eroni @ 4:08.
you should shut off water slower
Zach if he ever ends up on This Old House on PBS
Man i’m no expert with knife but at 8:12 we can clearly see a very good quality knife the person that designed it clearly knows a lot in knife

Whos the dumass that did this
Face masks, people! Face masks!!! You don't want to breath in any of that dust
Wish we had crimping in the UK. Closest we have is JG pushfit. Good but not as simple as these. But then I wonder how reversible crimping is.
Have you considered converting to a higher efficiency furnace and just sealing off the envelope of the home? Not only is it easier for the furnace in terms of rust but it spares you the wet filters if it rains and you have it on.
Why didn't you insulate the pipes before the dry wall ?
More Tri-Pod! I'm seasick!
jerry-rig-ception?
You might want to stick some nail plates behind the sheetrock with those pex pipes sitting right behind the rock! You never know if someone will shoot a screw or nail through that spot.
And the gaz line?
Pipes need a heat source for insulation to work ... electric heat trace to fix ...
I think i would have just lagged the original pipes with insulation sleeves..
Not a professional, but knowing how waterlines in cabinets up against exterior walls can still get cold enough to freeze, I'll be curious to see if you still run into this problem. Im thinking that you made an improvement but didn't eliminate the possibility - instead of freezing at 0, it may still freeze at -5 or -10? The wood and drywall is probably going to insulate the pipes from the warmth of the basement better than the sheet metal insulates the pipes from the cold. I think my first attempt would have been to slip some thick insulation around the pipes from outside, but i may be putting too much faith into the capabilities of that insulation!
Why doesn't the pipes outside your house freeze (and crack) during winter?
Looks like a good repair, might need to clean your intake out?
i hate to fix these
We use metal pipes !!
texturing a ceiling is stupid (when building a new house) its ugly and a hassle to add again
So relatable, swiftly walking back into the room after turning the water back on. lmao...... I've done this countless times...
oh i hate knocking down dry walls. It always left the place dusty for months. Even we cleaned up after the job, every few days, we could still see a very thin layer on furniture, especially dark color furniture.
Could have used shark bite fittings could have saved time and money since they dont require tools to install
LOVE STINKS!
13:09 please grow a beard. Looks cool
