I ran into this youTube and was rather amazed at the fellow making elbows and T's using nothing but a 'hot plate' and hack saw

That really is amazing. I was thinking, how hot must his hands have got while holding the pipes so close to the flames!!
 
I would not like to have a house built by these guys.

He obviously does a better job than Thai "Changs".

Even using fittings and the proper PVC glue you better make a pressure test before you start using brick work around the pipes.

My friend had to rip down the entire "work" before his system didn't leak anymore.

Guys - note that the people behind this project (EMAS - Wir machen Wasser zug) have been perfecting this "technology" and transferring it to Bolivia (and other places worldwide) for over 20 years; it seems sound, and likely is much better than what the people in these areas are more accustomed to (buckets from the river?)...
 
I liked the music..

I tell you what, Ill never let a plumber leave the site because he forgot a couple!
 
good video but the pan pipe music has to go eh !! lol

The music does get changed up on the videos, but it all has that flavor - I imagine its because it is to give it a local (Bolivian) interest; on some of the later videos (especially the ones on solar energy) I wish there was more of the english over-titles like there are on the other videos, but then again, these videos aren't meant for me, either...
