Please donate to my cash app I need new blades. Top contributer will get a shout out and this sawsaw. $RudyMonos.
I completed the work because another plumber had left it stubbed up through the floor. After I installed the vanity and installed the cheapest pex stopper and supply line "All in one" i installed the faucets, waste and stoppers, and mechanical vents(studor vents). I called the owner who lived in New York and he refused to pay me and told me to get the money from his (Ex) girlfriend. I called her for about a day , sent texts, nothing. Soooooo. I made this video. 😁 I found out a few months later the house went into foreclosure and about a year later after keeping tabs on this house, i purchased this place at a court house auction. Sooooo Karma I guess.

An old boss of mine did a brick planter for a doctor and was done pretty quickly. The doctor was having second thoughts when presented the bill, he said it was an awful amount of money for a few hours of work to which the boss told his brothers to go get the chains. The doctor asked why the chains and he was told were going to rip this thing off your house. Then he said I have to pay you fifty bucks just to walk in your office... the doctor saw things in a different light and paid the bill.
Moral of the story is, you pay for the experience!
@@HungarianHacker hahahahahahaha 🤣🤣😆
Wouldn’t it be better for both parties to just be upfront about how much everything is going to cost, rather than arguing how much a bill is? Just seems like a complete waste of time. If you hire someone to do the work for you, don’t complain & pay up if the job was done correctly.

Yeah! When I plumbed a whole bathroom and the owner said she wasn't going to pay when we finished. As I and my helper were leaving I said, "Stop the truck, wait one minute... I'll be back." I went underneath the house and disconnected the toilet so every time they flushed sewage went to the ground... I did this in winter and I imagine by spring it all started to stink really bad.
I worked for a disaster remediation company and went on a job with the plumber that someone had disconnected the sewer main from the septic tank and all of the sewage was dumping into the crawl space that started in the winter we were there in early spring probably 3 inches of raw sewage over the entire crawl space I wouldn't go in there I stayed outside and was a gofer I'm a carpenter not a plumber I won't walk in shit on purpose.

THIS. This is what should be, but only IF it involves customers willing to appreciate and work with the pro... But it fully requires the customer cooperating and being willing to do what is right, when given the opportunity. Major respect and kudos to you for being willing to work with your customers who are willing to reciprocate, by treating & viewing them like people with real situations, as opposed to moneybags or just assuming because you havent gotten paid yet that they must have the most ill intentions.
Yeah i mean, theres a difference in someone who cant afford a repair, but is in dire need and is willing to trade vs someone who has the money but simply refuses to pay or even answer phone calls to talk about it because they think being in another state erases all of their problems.
The sad reality is not every customer would be willing to meet you halfway too much greed in this world
That’s awesome that you guys could all cooperate together like good humans! Most people nowadays forget that people need to work with eachother and compromise to achieve big things. It’s not a solo competition, more like a team one
I used to put a test cap in the clean out outside, with a sticker with my company name, number, and date on it. When the drains stopped they wouldn't call me, they owed me money. So they called other plumbers that would see my sticker, they would call me, because it was obvious the work was still under warranty. When they find out why the drains are stopped up for lack of payment, they would leave. Forcing the customer to call me. After 40yrs in business I never didn't get paid.

This happens too often unfortunately. The one thing they don't tell you when getting into the trades; people mysteriously disappearing when it comes time to collect your money. The worst time was when the builder refused to pay the 2nd installment payment after finishing the rough and passing inspection. We went in with sawzalls and just started cutting everything. A week's worth of work we destroyed in one hour. It makes you feel better I guess but it sucks at the same time because you're ruining your own work. Sure you can go the legal route and sue but that takes a lot of money and time. Going in there and wrecking havoc is easier and more satisfying. A lot of shady people out there and they deserve every bit of what they get, be careful who you work for.

@@tracygraf6113 the thing is, most of the time court costs are more than the pay for a job otherwise they would. A contractor is perfectly in his own right to undo any work that won't be payed for, unless he made them pay a deposit for the materials, it's his property until they pay for it.

As an electrician, I was doing a new electric hot water heater job on my day off. Lady kept complaining on how mush I was going to charge her ( $100) so after she left the room I packed up my tools and turned the breaker on without any water in it. Now she needs a new water tank.
Regardless of tool, you gotta pay the man!
Damn right. TY
I wouldn't pay either using plastic push on valves.

Sharkbite=inexperienced
I mean if your plumber uses Ryobi his work probably ain’t worth much anyways...
Lmao exactly what I was thinking
Tools dont make a difference. Ryobi malika Milwaukee. Its if you know what your doing. If he didnt get paid its probably because of some rich ignorant people that want to stick it to people.
Customers gotta know you called me not the other way around we don’t just ride past stop and think you know this would be a great place for plumbing.
THATS WHAT THEY GET FOR NOT PAYING! I do granite fabrication and installs. Hard work is hard work. You hire someone to work hard, and finish a job, YOU BETTER PAY 💰.
amazing how fast things can be taken-out instead of installed.
Yes demolition is always faster than reconstruction and that is especially true right now when you can be waiting anywhere from 3days to 3weeks for a part the size of a pea.
yes its always harder to build and install then to pull out and destroy it take weeks to finish a car build from the chassis up it takes less then an hour for scrap yards to stip a car down to its chassis
One takes brains but both take brawn so yeah demo is inherently easier. A caveman can demo but can't fabricate or construct etc.
Installation pays by the hour

In HVAC when the customer didn't want to pay my dad would have me go outside and pull the disconnect and take it with us while he kept the homeowner distracted.
Another option is to put a lien on there house so they can’t sell it with out settling the debt owed you might not get you money right away but you will eventually

This guy said he ended up doing that and eventually bought the house for $25k after it foreclosed.
@@CoDisafishy $25k lmfaoooooo it looks nice too
Not if it goes into foreclosure. Once it goes up for auction, all liens disappear.
You can only put a mechanics lien on, un you filed for a permit and the work was over $2500 and you recorded the notice of commencement, when its a small repair work under $2500 there’s not much you can really do legally as a tradesman, not worth the time and effort to pursue in court. I have left notes inside equipment and warning next guy that the customer doesn’t pay, and I have seen notes left like that, I refuse the job pack up my tools And tell customer to call back the guy that was here before me. I don’t tell them about the note.

Any tile guy, drywall guy, painter, or anybody could have walked in, hit a faucet or hose bib and said “oh I don’t have any water” and turned the shit on! looking under god damn vanity would have been the furthest thing from their mind!
So, you are technically the homeowner as well. I guess that worked out pretty good. Fix up with good pipe, sell house, a good days work.
That's exactly what i did. Have a good day Danny.
The similarity of you cutting that pex pipe with that dull ass blade and a Brazilian beheading video is insane 😂
I take it you can’t afford a decent saw blade as you never got paid.
It’s actually very hard to use a saw zaw to cut pex. Way too much vibration.
@@doug8237 And one-handed
Or a set of pex cutters..
@redroyandeb ……USE A SHORTER BLADE......LESS VIBRATION
Its not the blade but its very obvious you never used power tools 😆
One time when I was 15 an elderly couple said they'd pay me to clean they're gutters, so I did. In the rain. During November. I was so so so cold, and it took about an hour/hour and a half, maybe 2. Anyway, I go in, tell them I'm done, and would like to get paid. The old man said he didn't have any money to pay me, but that he was grateful blah blah blah. I don't remember exactly what he said because I started getting light-headed, my vision was fading, and I was about to pass out. I end up passing out in front of them, falling over, hitting my head on something, and landing on the ground while they freak out. I only know what happened while I fainted because even by though I went "unconscious," fell, and couldn't see or move for qbout 15 seconds, for some reason I could still hear and knew what was going on. When I came to the guys wife demanded he pay me, put me in one of their jackets (like 4-5 sizes too small for me), and walk me to my dads, still in the rain, that was literally 2 houses away. I got home, took a warm shower, got my $50, and laughed about the whole thing and didn't tell anyone what happened lmao. Moral of the story, pay your damn workers Edit: currently 22 and in construction now
@BlackLives Don'tMatter At least he was paid, you seem to have a problem with people preforming work and getting paid. Like they should.
@BlackLives Don'tMatter No, he cleaned their gutters and received the agreed amount for the service. You seem to have a lack of reading comprehension.
@BlackLives Don'tMatter "Black lives Don'tMatter".
@BlackLives Don'tMatter Wouldn't want you to think you've won, what what was that about primates? My friend, you're mighty good at attributing your own traits to others.
@BlackLives Don'tMatter Oh, one more thing. Good luck, with the amount of brain power you have, you'll need it. Truly laughable that you think you're smart, the true embodiment of the Dunning-Krueger effect.
Fair call.
Thanks 😊
When you purchased the house at the auction, I hope you got it cheap because plumbing needs fixing. LOL.
I nominate this for the "feel-good" video of the day. And congratulations on the purchase of your new home!
Thank you.
Idiot,you believe anything. Very well could have been his home already or was relocating sink or upgrading. Stop being an idiot
It's incomprehensible for me that somebody would request any reform to a professional without knowing well in advanced they'll have the means to pay. What would you do this for? It's just like stealing.
It is stealing!!
Happens all the time in the UK construction industry.
Or....you could get a contractors lien against the property and if they don't pay you, you can legally take the house
1:11 you can really eel the rage in this one. love it.
That’s the most Ricky from trailer park boys thing I’ve seen in a while after wards you go to leave stop and say ahhh I’m just gonna take this with me hahahah golden
Plumber: *cuts pipes for not getting paid* 300k people 2 years later: interesting
I used to drop an 8 penny nail down the copper stand pipe. Every time they turn the water on the nail would travel up and make a clinking sound as it hit the top of the elbow and when the water was shut off it would fall back down making a clinking sound at the bottom. Drove people insane.
God bless you all
When you don't pay your plumber he can't afford a decent sawzall blade
Just so you know, some plumbers are scammers and will take advantage of people who aren't as aware. Happens to old people all the time. 'OH that'll probably be $100', then it'll get bumped to $1000 quickly. Seen it happen, and it was an easy fix.
Lot of bad people taking the side of the non paying customer. Times we live in I guess.
Go figure??? 🤪😜🤔
@@HungarianHacker So you broke into their house to cut their pipes? Seems like a bunk story. I work contracting as well and deal with non payers all the time. When I have a customer that won't pay, they don't typically invite me back over to their house to unintall my work.
@@danklordsupreme8864 read the description
@@HungarianHacker you called for an “hour”…that’s it ?..
@@mikefigures5075 what do you mean an hour?
I used to install hardwood floors with my old man as a kid - into my mid 20s. In a decade+ 99.9% paid with zero issue. Sometimes we had to fix small issues - nitpicks, specks of dust or nail holes. No problem, it's to be expected, but sometimes they kept digging for days over the smallest details or scratches -that they often caused. These are floors... for walking on, they will always end up getting scratched. Gravel, sand, glass, are harder than polyurethane. Sometimes people would crawl with their faces inches off the floor looking for new issues, yet we fixed these issues with a smile... If anyone decided that no amount of effort was good enough (yet wanted to keep the floors as-is, without paying) sending a mechanics lien was enough to get the final payment. One customer stands out by a mile and was the only one who we didn't even fight it and just let her short us. I will never forget this shit. She started out nice, friendly even, offering drinks and breaks, but sometimes she'd randomly lose it. She'd just stare at us and scoff and walk away or mumble under her breath angrily with no cause. We caught her sneaking up on us and spying, weird shit, then she'd go back to acting friendly and complimenting our work like nothing happened. It was like psychological warfare. She drove my dad up the wall with criticism, and snide comments before we were even close to done. Criticizing the pattern of the wood or the roughness of the first pass of sanding. The price was agreed upon ahead of time but we had to work absolutely meticulously, like we were working on a museum piece so the time stretched to nearly two weeks. When it came time to get our final payment which was supposed to be about $1500 she told us she wasn't going to pay it. She said she'd pay $500, so there was literally no profit. My dad was furious and left the room. He told me to try and handle it because he couldn't talk to that woman. I begged, explained the situation, did everything I could and she acted like she was doing us a favor, like our work was worth nothing. My dad refused to damage the floor or anything, and just wanted to leave. I got the $500 and split it with my old man. It was humiliating. Well, I kept thinking about what kind of person would act like this, and I remembered that one day I was working on the landing next to her bedroom and she was giving a consultation or therapy session or something on her computer. It sounded strange and unorthodox but I ignored it. Just thought she was some hippie doctor. I looked up her name and it turns out she isn't a doctor. She believes she's in contact with aliens, is a part of an alien race that lives among humans and she gives people "starseed" readings and has a whole cult thing going on. I'm not going to doxx her because that could come back to bite me. I'll just say that her fucking crazy behavior made a lot more sense afterwords and it made me really happy that we were done with her. About a month later she randomly texted me all friendly and said there were a few nail holes she noticed and she wanted me to come out for repairs. I blocked her ass immediately.
What a crazy lady. A great story to remember for sure. I've had 2 of her that I remember but the one was really trying to get laid and kept delaying the completion date because she wanted us to be there longer. The other lady was just insane and lost her sugar daddy's money which once the money stopped, so did the work.
@@HungarianHacker I did a year long stent as a cable guy, back then I was absolutely jacked, like 195lbs and shredded. All I did was work and work out and eat fucking chicken and protein shakes. It was a very boring life. Needless to say though, since it's one of those tropes there were a lot of random women flirting. One lady took a shower with the door open and walked around in a towel. It's all bullshit flirting though and I had a logo on my van that would have been a great target for litigation so I never tried anything funny. No one ever flirted or acted weird when I worked for my dad 😂 That's one thing that a lot of contractors have stories about. Working in a customers home you should always have a second person with you. It's just good practice in case business goes south.
When he said “I was nice enough to turn the water off” I had been thinkin the same damn thing good job taking that complicated ass p trap lookin thing w ya too that’ll be some fun to figure out on ya own😉 Learn through experience!
He should get arrested for vandalism either way, just like that Colorado contractor who broke into that woman's home
I used to install countertops by trade. Nice solid surface top here. I always wondered what you crazy plumbers did after I left.
Lol
That's my ball, Billy!
You must be mistaken Brandon, That's my Ball!!!
Clearly he’s not lying because he can’t even buy new sawzall blades.
