I did it. I think it will hold up pretty well on the water. Guys, I can't tell you how unpleasant it is down here. It's full of spiders and just an infestation of mosquitoes. Honestly, this is probably the worst thing we've ever done. A nail pierced the sole of my shoe. Ovva. Oh no. Well, friends, we started the day off great, and then disaster struck. I got injured again. This time quite seriously. What does it look like? You look crazy. It's like you just got hit in the head. That's right.
I know. Every time I look around, something here is trying to kill me. He just stood up full-length under this open window and crashed right into the corner, and he's so sneaky here. He's just so sharp. He ripped a whole piece of skin off his head. He stood up, and blood started pouring everywhere. Sorry, who finds this unpleasant to see. That hurt, man. The worst part is that we've been digging around in this dirt under the house all day, so we're really dirty. And he also has a wound on his head. Do I need to go to the doctor again? I don't know, dude.
You probably remember this. Her dad is a surgeon, so let's send him a photo and let him take a look. I don't think the cut is deep, but oh my god. a stitch or two is needed. You look crazy. Like you're on a film set or something. I thought I knocked out a tooth because I clenched my jaw so hard, but it seems to be in place. Okay, let's go wash you, sir. Okay. Well, we cleaned everything up and assessed the extent of the damage. Oh my God. Sorry, whoever doesn't like this, but even I find it disgusting to look at.
I don't get too close because it's.Oh my God. You can make a perfect little triangle. Right where the edge of that window was. I guess I need to be more careful. Well, good morning, adventurers. We decided to take the day off to heal my head wound. Yes, they mostly let her stop bleeding. Yoy. But we talked to her dad, it turns out I don't need stitches. So we're back to business, friends.
I had a terrible headache, but it's gone now. We had a day off, so I feel much more refreshed. Yes, you got a good night's sleep, and that's good. We are ready for a new day, preferably without bloodshed. But, friends, we are right in the middle of a project that we were afraid of because we have no idea how to implement it. That's because we're in the That's a lot of plumbing work. This is a lot of connections, elbows, games, tees and revisions. I study everything. Siphons. Yes, that's pretty good. Yes. Of course, we've never run a drain in the house, but I'm a little familiar with plumbing. You know, I used to work with my dad sometimes
when I was a kid. We also set up a camper van, but there were only two pipes and one ventilation shaft. So it was pretty simple. We didn't have much confidence in our skills, so we decided to invite a plumber for advice. We told him our idea, and he explained that it was flawed in many ways. He showed us small adjustments that should be made. I also watched tons of YouTube videos and Googled everything. So I'm already dreaming about plumbing. First, we need to run a 2-inch pipe from the kitchen to the main drain line. The most important thing is that the toilet is connected from that corner. It will be directly under the main ventilation pipe that goes to the roof through this wall. The main drain pipe will then run from the house to the septic tank. But before
leaving the house, another line will hit her. This will be the drain for the washing machine, shower and washbasin in the bathroom. It will be a real nightmare because we will have to climb under the house, and it is very cramped there. And it's full of all kinds of insects, beetles, and other things. Even mosquitoes nest there. I looked in there the other day when we were clearing the passage, and there were about 50 little frogs jumping everywhere. I didn't have time to take them off, but they were so cute.
Scorpions, spiders. That's why Allison wore her jumpsuit. I don't know where Eric's overalls are, so good luck to you, sir. I guess you'll have to crawl under the house instead of me. Okay, anyway, we're going to turn all this chaos into a working plumbing system for the house, right? Yes. So, yes. Let's start now. Okay, I think watching Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" as a kid really prepared me for this moment. This sucks. I won't lie, this is probably the least enjoyable thing we've done.
We are starting to realize that if we had drawn up a plumbing plan while the floor was being taken apart, we could have laid everything out then. That would be much smarter. Right now we're just trying to make this line coming from the kitchen connect to the one coming from the bathroom and become our main outlet pipe. Yes. This is a technical term. A pipe for [__]. [__] pipe, yes. They should drop, what, a quarter of an inch for every foot? But the good news is that the main pipes for the toilet and the main ventilation riser are already installed.
Now there are about 50 more lines to be laid. Hey! Well, there are only a few left down here. We're trying to finish this so we can get back up there. I'm leaving here. You'll manage, right? Oh, yes. Go already. I did it! I created a masterpiece. It's all about the corners of the pipes, friends. You know that. You seem to be starting to understand. Yes, look. I think it will flow quite well. When you start drilling such large holes, it can be very dangerous. The force acting on the drill is so great that you have to hold it firmly, otherwise it will simply twist
your wrist. Yeah, that's why I hate drill bits so much, man Yes, but then I got stuck, I had to put it in reverse, and it spun the other way. Wow, right in my leg. This is real chaos. You never know what the hell is going to happen. Anyway, we now have a huge three-inch hole in the floor, so. There's no going back. No, the ventilation will be here, or we will burn this house down. One way or another, there is no other way out. So, now we are working on ventilation. Everything must have an outlet to this main three-inch pipe. a riser that will be in that wall, but that means everything has to be connected to it; and you have to make sure it goes up, has a slope, proper connectors and all that. So the only way to get
the ventilation from the shower and washing machine to that main riser is to cut through all those beams. Don't worry, it's not a load-bearing wall, so we can do whatever we want with it. Except we'll have to put a metal plate here so that later someone doesn't accidentally drill through the pipe when they're installing drywall or something. But to do that, I enlisted the help of this monster I call " McGee's Crown." Oh, look at this. That's right. This is truly a torture device from the movie Saw. Or maybe from "The Horror Movie." It's not fun because you have to very careful with this thing. We've mentioned this before, but especially when she has such a long attachment on, she can
twist her wrist like this. You can buy a special holder, but we don't have one. So I have to be very careful and go slowly. Come on, get in there. You have a great view up there. Really? Do I look like I know what I'm doing? Probably so. Okay, I think it's safe to say that this project is probably my least favorite at the moment. It's so dirty here, and I just spent days crawling under this damn house. I have never had so much dirt in every crevice in my life. And so many bruises, guys. Needless to say, we need a little break. So now we're going to have a good old day by the pool.
We are at the Sage Hill Inn and Spa. It's right next to Austin. We booked this through ResortPass. We would like to express our huge gratitude to them for their partnership in this video. Most people don't even realize that hotels do this, but you can book a day at a super-classy hotel. You get access to their spa and you don't have to stay overnight. Yes, we like to do this when we are especially exhausted and want to recharge. And I do n't think we've ever felt as exhausted as we did last week. It was cruel. And it's just incredibly cool for people like us who work remotely,
because instead of working in a cramped mobile home, we work by the pool. And they even gave us a promo code to share with you. You can use the code Endless Adventure 20 and it will give you $20 off your first booking. So, you can go to Reserve Pass, browse hotels in your area, and have a mini- vacation just like we did. You look great there. Exactly what I needed. You look much more confident than when you were crawling under the house. It feels much more natural. Well, friends, a new day-a new trip to Ace. I think this is our 37th visit in the last 3 days. For some reason, when it comes to plumbing, you think you have it all, and then, upon arriving at the location, you very quickly realize
that this is not the case. We even bought extra small connectors, thinking: "This will definitely be enough for everything." This was not enough even for one case Although I love all these plumbing fixtures. They have every weird combination imaginable. There's a four-way cross fitting, a nice 3-inch elbow, a 2-inch P- shaped trap-and no, it's not for "pee-pee," it just looks like the letter P. And there's a three-way splitter. I've always wanted to try one of these. No comments. And my personal favorite is the long 4-inch Y- fitting. You know why. Friends, our neighbor a little further down the road keeps a bunch of sheep, and he just lets them roam free. That's pretty cute, right?
The best thing in the world is when you come home. Yes. Well, I can't tell you how unpleasant it is to be here. There are spiders, strange little crickets, and a real mosquito infestation under the house. And they start to get really angry with us. Are we done? Uh, no. Devil. one step closer by cementing that pipe. Okay. So, should I get out or stay here? Do I live here now? I think you live there now. I think I need to hand you another pipe to cement. We simply bring out our main 4-inch drain pipe coming out of the structure. So everything is connected to this pipe.
We check whether we have the necessary slope. The slope looks pretty good because we don't want all of our, you know, "substance" stuck right here. No, you know, this " substance". Technically, it would be better if it went underground, but we can fill it up. So I think we can still hide it underground, and then we need to put a purge here near the structure itself. So, at least it's not too high. So this is completely manageable. Okay, time for updates. Progress is moving slowly but surely. And don't call me Shirley. Don't call me Shirley We didn't get to film much of our ordeal because it was a real struggle, my friends. You know we were climbing
under the house. It was just a nightmare. We had to go up there a lot more often than we thought because we were constantly messing things up. We install the pipes in a certain position, and then we realize that they don't fit together, and we have to cut everything and deal with this nonsense. But I think we've finally got everything working, and everything should work. Everything complies with building codes. We are actually following the plan the plumber gave us. We just had to make some adjustments. We are currently working on our ventilation system.
Ventilation on the left is for the washing machine and dryer. The matter is for our soul. They converge here at the top and go above the doorway into our 3- inch pipe that goes out to the roof, and then the plenty of ventilation, but the next task is to go through our beautiful roof, and we are delaying a bit because we are afraid of making a big hole in our tight and airtight roof. So, this pipe is aligned with the toilet under the house. Then we had to bend it because we had to get it out through the roof. There is an overhang there, and she has to walk past it. It cannot be under an overhang, because then the outlet will be under the roof and gases can accumulate. We understand that if you want to do everything according to the
standards, there are so many small details that need to be followed, and although we don't need inspections, we still want to do everything right. Are we willing to punch a big hole in the roof and then regret it because of some miscalculation? Well, I'm definitely ready to repent. So, I guess let's get started. We haven't been here for a long time. Dude, this actually looks good. I'm so glad the roof isn't too steep because I'm a little injured after falling off the ladder. Where is this damn hole? Oh, there she is.
Found it. This is so funny, there are little paw prints here. Apparently a raccoon or something else tried to get inside. I kept wondering how they got here. It looks like they're jumping from this tree straight onto the roof. You need to prune that branch or something, but can you imagine them climbing out here in the middle of the night and then hanging on the edge like Sylvester Stallone? Look at this beast, people. Oh my god, this thing is going to kill me. That's a terrible sound. It's like our roof is screaming in pain. Woo! THERE ARE! Oho! Success! Well, folks, we have a little problem.
We are missing a 3- inch pipe to bring the rest of the ventilation shaft out through the roof. Well, technically enough. It is in two parts. Yes, we don't have a coupling to connect them, so that wo n't work. Especially since we waited until it got cool to do it. Now I'll have to do it in the morning. Hopefully before the sun rises over those trees. Only now we have to go into town, buy parts, and come back, and that's an hour wasted.
This will be cruel. I guess I'll have to get up very early tomorrow, huh? Ugh. We're in a motorhome right now, and guys, our propane is almost at zero, and has been since we got back, but somehow we still have it. So I think we may have found a source of eternal energy. Maybe it's some lost energy in this earth, deep in a well or somewhere else Or rather, our tank is broken, like everything else in our lives, and is simply not showing correctly. Yes, that sounds more plausible. Perhaps. It works. We can cook dinner today. Well, that's enough for one more day. Will go. Well, good morning. I was walking towards the tiny house and felt something prick. Here a real nail went through the sole of my
shoe. Fortunately, right under the arch of the foot. It seems like I didn't really push it, but wow. Okay, that was a lot more than I thought. Oh no. Are you saying it just fit my foot? Oh, just a little. Okay, second approach to the hole in the roof. We waited for the shadow to cover the opening where I would have to work. I couldn't find my hat, so I had to borrow it from Allison, so no comment. The idea is quite simple. You have a 3-inch pipe that goes through this outlet. It only has to protrude 6 inches, but you can make it 6 to 12 or 24 inches or something like that.
I've watched a lot of videos on how to install these vent pipes and make them leak-proof, and everyone uses these rubber seals. So, first of all, we need to securely fix this pipe. Friends, I just poured this purple soil for what must have been the fiftieth time. I spilled it on my phone. It got to my credit cards and ID. I was planning on drinking some whiskey tonight. To celebrate or to drown the sorrow? To drown the sorrow. And believe it or not, I'm 40 years old, but I still get asked for my passport from time to time. You put a little sealant around it so that when you put this seal in, it fits snugly and has a layer of sealant underneath it. Well, let's go.
It looks completely airtight around the pipe. I was a little worried about this, but it looks good. Okay, it looks pretty good. Here we have tightened all the screws. These are small metal roofing screws, they are already painted and have small rubber sealing washers. But the main rule that I learned a long time ago is: don't overtighten them, or you'll damage the seal. So, we're officially done, and it 's recommended to apply another layer of sealant around it: you have sealant, butyl tape, EPDM washers-everything is securely sealed. I think we did it, little one. It's the start of the week here in Wimberley, Texas, and that can only mean one thing.
Margarita-Monday, baby. And no, it's not in a bar or restaurant. This is at the Ace Hardware store. So, we're going to get some supplies and have a few drinks, it's going to be the best Monday of our lives. We went in, saw the sign "Margarita- Monday", but didn't find a single machine. We walk on, and suddenly everyone has a neon margarita glass in their hands, I just followed them-and lo and behold, we found him. Well, friends, this project has officially become, it seems, the worst of all the ones we've done. Yes, did we say that already It seems like we say this about every project, but this time it's really true, man. This one surpassed all the previous ones. Climbing under that house was just terrifying. Well, it was a little cooler there, that's the
only plus, but otherwise it was just awful. We are waiting for all the joints to harden, and then we will have to check them. To do this, you need to pour a bunch of water into the system and see if it is leak-proof. The next big step is wiring. I'm sure this will be our new worst project. Yeah, we're going to have to dig a huge trench from here all the way to the electric pole 200 feet away. We'll be running all sorts of wires inside, trying to figure it all out. We are waiting for a quote from a local company to dig a trench and lay the cable because it sounds very tiring and difficult, and we don't want to do it.
Yes, I hope it doesn't cost a fortune, but it seems like everything is incredibly expensive right now, even if it's a small house. By the way, did we talk about your head? We haven't done any updates, but there's still a crust there. It's been a few days now, and she's healed quite well. There was no infection, and no stitches were needed. No, and eventually she stopped bleeding. Sorry again to anyone who is overly sensitive. I hope this is the latest news about blood.
Let's keep our fists together. Yeah, okay, we really need a shower and probably a day off. So that's goodbye, the adventures continue. See you on the road.
