I put in a bunch of those fans and the complaints I was getting is the flapper in the vent kept going tick, tick, tick from a slight breeze so I went to the tire store and got some half ounce self stick weights and put one one the bottom of the flap and the tapping stopped so the rest of them stay in the truck. Now every one I install gets a weight automatically. The fan has more than enough velocity to blow the flap open.

As a plumber in the UK we call this core drilling. Typically I wouldn't use hammer, just rotary. Its a cutting action which wont blow the brick/ block on the exit side of the hole. Also as a few others have commented, removing the pilot bit immediately after getting the core hole goings a good idea because it 1. means you wont loose the tapered pilot bit and 2. there's less friction in the core hole to jam the core bit. Love the videos guys Looking forward to the stud pack house :)

Love watching this father and son team Great work. I get happy when I see a new stud pack video. Thank you guys for what you do. It's not just that you do great work and the video quality is amazing, but you are both very entertaining.

Last week, I rented exactly the same hammer drill and 4 inch core bit from Home Depot to make two holes in my twelve inches thick foundation wall (fan and dryer). It did such a fine job, I became nostalgic watching this video. Love your channel and it is inspiring me in my home renovations. Cheers from Quebec city!

You should use a 1/4"x 12" or longer SDS Plus bit to pre-drill a pilot hole to assure direct alignment, and then counter-bore from the outside to avoid blow-out. Try holding the drill straight so that you won't end up drilling crooked.

After you started the hole you could remove the centering drill. Also, diamond drills don't really like to cut wood, especially after it's been used and the teeth are rounded. They heat really bad. I do HVAC installs in Europe; here almost all the walls are masonry. Not that fun when it comes to drilling. You, guys are awesome!

From a production point of view, I think this is the best to date. You've both come a long way - this is better DIY TV than any other major network. Keep it up.

"You Spin Me Right 'Round" was Dead or Alive, and that sound you just heard was my geriatric soul leaving my body and turning to dust.

I love the way you don't take yourselves too seriously. Keep up the good work.

I cannot describe how much it helps when experienced people show their mistakes. Helps me have realistic expectations for myself so much.

For the humidity you mentioned that would be created from the bathroom, you really should be using aluminum ducting vs using the galvanized duct.

In general you would remove the center bit when the hole is started and you would drill without the hammer function. Enjoy your new core drill

The fitting that should have been used for the urinal is a 2" sanitary tee. The fitting that you used is called a combination fitting. It is used for underground.

Also I love the attention to detail you guys have but also the ability to recognize when something isn’t worth the extra mile. Real raw content.

Sure have enjoyed watching this set of videos on the project. Watching the stud pack house project in Texas. So when having withdrawal waiting, I go back and watch your earlier videos. Sure love the mental thinking and wisdom that goes into your build projects. Need a video of you guys chilaxing. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy lol.

To save your new core drill/hole saw. Cut a sponge to fit inside, then get the sponge damp, put inside the core drill/hole saw, and then drill.

Great work as always. That hole saw is the next tool that will make it into my toolbox. Getting those plugs out can be a nightmare.

Your content is really amazing and the best on KZread! Thanks for the time y’all put in the channel!

Great job, and on a Sunday! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

I've got a few different size hole saws for an SDS Max rotary. I tend to go a bit oversize when drilling the hole for a couple of reasons. First, if there is any mis-alignment when drilling the hole, a bit of wiggle room allows things to line up. Secondly a bit of extra space allows me to squirt in some expanding foam all the way round to insulate and lock in place. Ideally, an exhaust vent will pitch down towards the outside.

You guys give the motivation to keep going on my projects!

Pro-tip: temporarily remove the stud to the left of the hole coming from the kitchen sink (at 8:46) in order to drill through the center of studs (to avoid having to notch them), plus this will allow you to feed the pipe through the holes without any joints.

Ahh, what the carpenter buildeth, the plumber teareth apart. 😊

Best project yet! Keep it flowing

I decided to DIY my own dryer vent hole in my concrete block house from1956.... I went with I believe a $65 dollar hammer drill from Harbor Freight and a $70 dollar 4" coring bit from Amazon and with my wife's help had spraying some water to keep the dust down it worked great..... you guys are great for showing us how to do it yourself..... and you know with the cost of labor, not necessarily quality labor I'd rather DIY projects using your help, thumbs up from me....

This project is turning out amazing guys I’m loving this content, it’s damn exciting to see the progress made I just wish there was more content to be watched 😂 keep this kinda stuff up love it fellas!! What are you guys doing for HVAC on this project btw? Beside the fart fans any sort of comfort cooling or heating, I’d like to know in the trade myself?

Again! Your videos are very enjoyable and very very encouraging! I make alignment mistakes and feel really bad, but after this video I will be in good company when I “waller(?)” the hole to get alignment. Thanks for sharing!

Love the new camera work/editing. The switch between you and your dads cams is awesome!

Nice thing about a project like this is that the studs are not going to be holding the roof up and you do not have to worry about shear stresses from wind pressure so those metal plates on the studs will more than make up for how much was removed for the drains and vents.

The damn quality of y’all’s videos have improved so much. You’re getting very comfortable in front of the camera! I love your energy!

Just stumbled across your channel and I'm loving the content guys. I hope you get to start on the new home soon and maybe we will be lucky and you guys start a playlist on the new home rebuild. Congratz on the find and may many years of videos and subscribes come your way.

Supper happy for you guys. Looking forward to framing.

No matter what the project, the highlight is always watching the chemistry between you two.

Having been using various hammer drills for over 50 years. Started out with a used Skill hammer drill that used 7/16" hex shanks. Had a couple of medium size hammer drills that used SDS bits that were always a pain changing out when up on a ladder . Have a Milwaukee for 5/8" & smaller holes and a Black & Decker Old obsolete Macho 2 hammer drill for up to 1& 1/4" spline bits and bigger if I purchased some core bits. I needed a new gear years ago for the Macho 2 & black & decker service center told me that for only a $125 more they would rebuild the hammer drill and give me a warranty. Best money that I ever spent. Now retired a few years and rarely get to use one of my beloved hammer drills. Great vid.

Best Father & Son team! Good job Stud Pack!

Your supposed to take the pilot bit out when you have a decent groove started. Some don't even have center bits just centering inserts meant to be removed before through cutting.

I notice the slight twist when sinking the glue joints. You guys do all the tricks, and do them well.

The carbide hole saws (Spyder,Milwaukee,Diablo) drill block like butter! Cores fall out and they are way cheaper than $200! Great content.

In Michigan, the cleanout on the 3” vent would have had to be at the bottom on the 3” stack.

love these guys! I've learned a lot with these guys. Great videos.

I was going to suggest that but, he does such a good job already I figured that he'd think of it sooner or later. Smart guy, Jordan. Apparently I need to go back and watch 1 thru 9. And yes..

And just in case you don't read Ghita's comment, he is correct about removing the pilot bit. You WILL lose it in a block cell some day if you don't remove it after the initial core bit kerf. And he's also correct about wood dulling those teeth. Always best to start with a standard hole saw and then finish with the core bit. BTW.. those teeth can be refitted new. There are tool shops that do it. If you can't find any, let me know, there's a good shop in Ohio. 😄

I really, really like this channel. I do, so much. That being said, perhaps it was the editing, perhaps it was a Sunday, but every step of the work that was explained and done today felt rushed. From the digging out of the stud wood with a hole drill, to the adjustments needed to fit/fix pipes, to the "ah a little blow-out isn't so bad, it'll be covered by the vent housing." because going around outside would've taken more time. It felt like trying to get stuff done on a single Sunday isn't the best way to go about the work. Also I've been reading several "well actually, the plumbing solution should've been x as per code" or "the pipe used for the vent fan was the wrong kind, you'll get leaks", among other comments below. They may not be saying what I said above but their "corrections" or what they felt strongly enough to write in as corrections, says something about how many things caught people's attention. I enjoy this channel, and you guys are super hard workers. Your projects show it. It's just that recently something seems off about the videos. Finally, the subtle nod and shout out to tools and materials has not been unnoticed. That's fine, you have some good tools and you use to show them off in previous years, but the direct method you are doing now is kinda new. Interesting that this increase in shout-outs has coincided with the shorter video format. Advertising pressures? I hope this is just a coincidence. Keep up the great work. I hope you take my comments as constructive and not as a tear-down insult or anything. Be well. -Sterling

I love those coring bits. They’re so helpful. Also if you’re going to work in Texas you need to pronounce words right. We say wallered out. I hate to be the plumbing police but your urinal drain is illegal. You can’t stand a combo up like that on a trap arm or it creates an s trap. Basically of the long down sweep of the combo it makes the water level (weir) of your trap higher than the highest access to the vent. This means it can create a siphon and siphon water out of your trap before it gets to the vent to break the siphon. In the words of Larry haun “that’s the code”. Practically speaking it will work just fine. There’s only one place that am s trap is legal and that’s a toilet. It’s designed to siphon to help it flush better and as the tank fills or the diaphragm resets, it slowly adds water to refilled the trap( bowl). A urinal really works like a mini toilet so if it did siphon, the urinal would replace any water lost.

Lots of work for a relatively small area. But y’all are doing great.

Nice job... your inspiring me to do my own projects
