What happens here

First, transfer the 19-inch width and 14-inch height onto a fresh piece of drywall using a marker. The presenter uses his thumb as a guide to ensure a straight line when drawing the cut lines for the rectangular patch. Next, he carefully measures and marks the center points for the hot and cold water pipes (6 inches from the left edge, 2.75 inches from the top) and the drain pipe (9 inches from the left, 5 inches from the top). He also marks the location for the electrical wire passthrough, estimating its position relative to the drain.

Goal: Transfer the measured dimensions onto a piece of drywall and mark the outlines for the patch and the necessary cutouts for plumbing and electrical components.

through that drain hole but hey for 19 check this out if you just keep your finger right here on this edge and you kind of get this it's going to be not a 100 but if you keep that straight all right that's pretty straight my jacket wasn't in the way i could have went the whole way to the floor with that not bad as long as the your edges are straight this is going to be a pretty simple thing to just kind of take this follow it down you can't really see what i'm doing right there right kind of jacked it up a little bit for the most part it's straight straight there straight there and this is our piece 19 by 14. okay so to make our measurements all we're going to do center of the pipe this way get your measurement for the center of the pipe that way we're going to make an x and then we're going to drill okay so pretty much six from this side and then two and three quarters from the top i'm gonna put us right there and three quarter from the top right right there right there the drain is five down by nine across right and that's our three holes that we need to drill
