Cut and Remove Subfloor for Plumbing Rerouting

[Music] Now that the drywall studs is exposed for us to do our plumbing and our electrical, the last and final step for demo day is to rip out some of the subflooring to reroute our water plumbing there, our vent, this water line, that drain to obviously there. Um, and the only way you really do it is uh either a you want to climb in your crawl space and see what's there. I like to learn things the hard way. Uh, plus I've been there. I know there's plenty of room. And uh really just start cutting it out and see uh which way we need to go. Um, I'm going to use my circular saw, my reciprocating saw as well. This is a small blade from Diablo. Uh, it's a demo blade. Uh, it's carbide teeth. nice and tough uh coarse cuts uh just to get the job quick. The nice thing about it being skinny like that, I can maneuver around. So, if I go in there and all of a sudden there is, you know, joist or something like that, I could stop and go around. So, um just kind of gives me some maneuverability for exploring. All right. So, we found the plumbing that's underneath the floorboards. Let me show you why I'm so happy. It is a lot more simpler than I thought it would be. So, the hot and water hot and cold water lines are going to get relocated there. They're going to go through that stud right there. Perfect. This drain will just swivel it to this other side. It'll drain from there instead of there. And then here is our toilet. I was more concerned about the toilet drain here. And it seems like it's curving. Let's see if we can find it. From right there to there. So, all I have to do is just cut the rest of this floorboard out here, right between the floor joist, and extend it to go right there. Really smooth, I think, so far. And I couldn't be happier.
