(Maybe you could think of painting the wall white before installing the equipment). The filming and editing is also great. Thank you!

The short blade is best. In that situation you want to maintain some pressure between the metal "foot" of the saw near the back of the blade and the pipe so you can walk your cut around the pipe and the short blade helps each reciprocation not slam the blades tip in to the concrete wall which tends to bend and ruin the blade. Thick metal does not cut fast. The first cut that you abandoned would have been pinch free if you had changed cutting direction from the bottom upward toward the top. This would keep the blade on the side of the kerf which is opening due to the pipe bending under it's own weight between the supports while you are removing material it bends at the weakest point. You could also just add support directly under where you plan to cut downward first as downward cuts are easier and safer for most people.

Your vids are quite entertaining. You're really good at this video creation stuff ya know and ya seem pretty darn good at the home improvement stuff too! Well done young lady!! Keep up the great work.

Future tip/s with PVC. When gluing fittings together give them a twist into place. This ensures there are no voids in the joint and spreads the adhesive more evenly. Also, after cutting PVC clean up the edges and chamfer the outside edge or (OD), this is so the adhesive is not swept off the wall of the fitting and reduces the build up of adhesive on the inside edge that could cause a blockage in the future. If that makes sense.

Nice work. Only a few suggestions. You should always chamfer the outside of your pvc pipe before gluing them into the fittings. This will prevent the glue from being pushed out. It also makes it easier to insert (no need for a hammer). When possible, once you set the pipe all the way into the fitting, rotate it a little to move the glue around, and then hold it there for about 5-10 seconds. It also seems like you created an "S-trap" at that sink drain. You may want to address that if you start noticing sewer smell coming out of your sink.

Thanks, Jenna!

Great job Jen, not a licensed plummer just a DIY guy. When your gluing joints they should be wet enough where you can rotate the pipe or fitting as you join the two together. The rotation doesn't have to be excessive just enough to allow the glue to push out any air that could be trapped in the joint, you will need to hold pressure on the joint to make sure the glue isn't trying to push the two pieces apart. Another trick when your doing a dry fit if the two pieces need to be rotated to a particular angle place a mark on both pieces, remove, glue then as you push the two together align the two marks and you should be back to the same location as you were during a dry fit. One more tip, always debur both edges of the pipe end, I use a cordless grinder or a flapper disk on a drill motor.

Didn't show but one joint glued all the rest she just put cleaner on them but probably not leak because no pressure on the pipe.

Wow!!! Thank you!!!! That’s so kind.

Jennifer, I just found your channel, and I really enjoy it. Your cute and not afraid to try to fix stuff. Thats the only way things get fixed. Ive been a Maintenance guy, a Carpenter , an Electrician, And an unlicensed Plumber. for 50 years. So I have quite a bit of experience in construction and repair. I dont know if you will ever do anymore sewer line repair, but when you are replacing cast iron with pvc put your pipes together from the PVC side to the cast iron side it easier to get the pvc all the way into the bells then you put the rubber coupling all the way on the cast iron and you can get a perfect fit then center the rubber on the last joint, and there wont be any gaps that stuff can catch on. Keep on trying, I will keep watching.
