rearranging all the stuff here i'm going to cut off these existing water lines the water's already shut off with the main valve i'm going to plug them off and then i'm going to chop this sucker off because we're going to need to figure out the center where the new tub will go [Applause] [Music] okay so let's reposition let's say this cold water this is going through the outdoor faucet um i think what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna cut it pull it out and basically make a connection going this way this is gonna be its own little utility box it's like cords underneath your computer desk you know there's a perfect system let's just figure it out what it is this is pex piping blue is obviously cold red is hot you're using half inch tubes these are half inch crimping rings you can use two methods one is if you want to use the old school way where you just use a crimper like this you put the ring over uh the pipe and then you press it down in the half inch spot until it stops and you release and that's a perfect clamp or if you're already invested in your ryobi oneplus system i have a pneumatic one right here a battery powered one i slide on the same way i press the button and it will start activating the motor closing the jaws down to the perfect pressure and then they will open the jaws and we can take it out easy peasy nothing to do about it very important that your cuts that they're not angled like that eighth inch off the edge take your jaws open them let the machine do its thing press release and boom [Music] so i moved the majority of the plumbing the water lines coming in now we're going to do the drain and the water lines for the faucet here so here's where we got i made a little schematic here based off of the online orders of the bathtub is going to be here this is where the drain's going to be this is where the faucet is going to be it's a gooseneck here existing drain is there we're gonna excavate up to here that's where the drain's gonna go and then because here's my cold and here's my hot i need to drop them down here we're gonna make a straight shot to that i don't have a jackhammer here and there's kind of overkill so i'm using my sds hammer drill uh create holes and then i'll use a big heavy hammer and slug that sucker down and then we'll start fitting in all the pipings hey but first let's talk about sponsors of today's video figure heloc if you've been following this channel for a long enough time you know that we tackle these projects we renovate…
