Just a guy from Chicago that's been remodeling homes since I was a kid. For years I would get the "Hey how do I fix the screen door it fell off the track again" or "I just got home and there's water in my basement what do I do?" So, instead of trying to walk people through it, I would just shoot a video, send them the link, and from there this channel was created.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with the world and hope you find these videos helpful and entertaining.

How to Properly Vent an Attic
zhlédnutí 218Před 21 dnem
Moldy attics are probably one of the most common things I find in home inspection. Proper attic ventilation is important because it helps regulate temperature and moisture levels. In the summer, it prevents heat buildup, which can reduce cooling costs and extend the life of roofing materials. In the winter, it prevents moisture from accumulating, which can cause mold, mildew, and possibly struc...

Being genuine here. Get a new hair style 🙏
@@testosr 🤣 thank you! Yeah, I was due for a haircut and it was a really windy day, so it was all windblown.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video helped tremendously. Saved me another 3 hours trying to find the solution on the internet for my Canon printer and T-mobile home internet to work together.
if it goes on for 1-2 days is it that same cause? or something else?
@@AnnUnicornStarTarot Usually with thermal expansion the most common thing to experience is hot water or running the heat. It’s the hot water and hot air heating up the pipe or the ductwork. If you’re hearing it consistently for two days, it might be worth calling a contractor to come and take a closer look.
I moved into an apartment, and one of the window track shoes was not attached. This video helped me fix it 👍
@@GworName Fantastic!
Hi, thanks for the video. Question: I used to work in the apartment industry for many years. I’ve been out of the industry for over a decade and I mainly worked on traditional ac units and furnaces. My wife and I purchased a new home in 2017. In that time I’ve had to replace at least all three of my zoned damper motors. Those Honeywell motors are not long term. But my question is: I have one of those Honeywell whole ventilation units on our unit. It’s set to on. I’ve never messed with it. I was under the impression that when the unit is calling for cool or heat it’s sucking in air from the outside like you stated and pressurizes the home. But looking at its damper it’s not closing in what I would expect a reasonable time after shutting off letting cool out. I’m assuming it should close all the way and the zoned dampers open when none of the floors are calling for air. My question is: could the vent damper not working or does it have a certain amount of delay after satisfying the thermostat(s) so it closes? It’s also not fully set on the thumb switch which adjusts flow. It’s one or two. We live in Atlanta so you know we get our fair share of heat. Thanks. Edit: just for clarification my system is a heat pump. So I’m just making sure I’m not messing something up by shutting it off or affecting how it purges.
@@GartheKnightReturns You know, I’m sorry we don’t have heat pumps here in the Chicagoland area so I’m not familiar with them or if the system operates differently with the heat pump. If your system is the same that you see in this video when the switch is in the on position whether the thermostat is on or off, every hour for about 10 minutes. It will turn the blower motor on open the fresh air damper and bring air into the home. Override will keep the system on and the damper open 100% of the time. Off, turns it off 100% of the time and closes the damper. With the hot and humid you guys get in Atlanta I would just turn it off during the summer months and turn it back on in the winter or when you have mild temperatures in between 50° and 75°. Hope this helps!
Lol, moved and lived 2nd floor for a year and not noticed the shaking until today. I’m glad this vidoe explains why i feel the shaking my my room.
@@johnvu7151 😆
We made no progress bro
@@jakepiran1023 Not sure what you mean?
Great video it took some fiddling with the old Canon MG5520 printer settings BUT your instructions got me going RESULTS the USB C to Printer cable was not a waste of money PLUS for the 1st time ever my wife printed from her iPhone !!
@@xboxroxpowerram5012 Excellent!
Just a small recommendation… put a rag or something over the drain. Any dropped screws will be lost down the drain without something blocking it. Great video. I had the opposite problem. I only had warm to scalding hot, no cold.
@@trbig67 Yes, great idea! I’ve dropped my fair share of screws down the drain.
These are like the olden days where they had windows that tilted above a door way.
Is it bad to take them off?
@@christinagarcia8166 Yeah you wanna leave them on because they’re there to allow airflow when the door is closed.
The problem I’m still having is when the water transitions from hot to cold or vice versa that middle section is still full blast. As well as, the pipes grunting and sputtering at me for a few seconds as it goes to hot Anyway, it’s still better than before so i appreciate the video either way
@@DipolarApathy Yeah I’ve experienced that too. Try turning on the water in the middle in between hot and cold and then turning down the hot and cold valves to get the middle where it’s not splashing all over the place that would be your best bet. However, when your full cold or full hot, the water pressure may be very low. I think unfortunately that’s just how some of these faucets are.
Thank you, I didn't know where to turn to get my printer working, so my last option was UTUBE. Of all the issues I've been having connecting devices, you can't go wrong by following the professionals in UTUBE. KUDOS.
You are the man. It was a simple change but so useful.
Hello Mr. BJ, my problem is whenever I turn on the AC cuz it's hot summer now, I haven't tried heat, so now I turn on the AC, I heard the dripping sound in the wall like yours, once I turn off the AC, the dripping sound will slowly disappear , which is really like water dripping. In order to make sure my problem is the one you shared, would you please share your contact information with me so I can send you the video of my dripping or schedule an appointment to check it onsite if it's necessary? Thank you so much!
@@MollyGuo-y3h Hi Molly, for your situation it sounds like your air conditioner is leaking so you’ll want to call an HVAC technician to come out and service your unit.
@@BJPoznecki Hello Mr. BJ, thank you so much for your response. I will do that. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was worried I'd need to get a new printer but this worked quickly and got mine up and running in minutes.
How much is a new one?
@@mikemolotnik4052 I’m sorry, it was years ago I don’t remember.
So I had this same issue with my Samsung TV I had to split the wifi so now my printer is the issue so do I have to go to my internet T mobile and make a 3rd network? It's so strange my phones run off the original TV runs 2nd network so for my canon printer split again? But what number mhz?
@@katrinabn6247 I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to your question. I would just follow my instructions in this video and see if it works. If it doesn’t, then you would have to call technical support.
So much for spraying it with a solvent stinking catalyst Great idea! We're going to cut it off brass plug. Goodbye. Thanks
@@williamhammer-xm7cv Yeah this is just quicker. The only mistake I made in the video is you just wanna cut a little bit deeper so that you just touch the threads and extract the whole plug, including the threaded part. Ideally it’s always best to put a brass plug back in with some Teflon paste unless the threads are deteriorated, then use an expandable plug like I did in the video.
I Unscrew the ceramic lock nut. What can I do.. cannot get shade off
Great video easy fix
@@FiNESTjATT101 Thank you!
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
Do moen positemp cartridges have a generic or off brand replacement? Also just an FYI I have a single family home (in Oregon) where the where shutoff is at the front of the property where the city shut off is.
We had a neighbor move into his very first house across the street who cut his water line. He calked 911 to find out how to turn it off. I went over and showed him the main shut off and how to use it. It's in the same box as the city water meter.
And after removing g everything you can see there is no water leaking from the back side into the wall. A fantastic video. You should teach STEM classes
@@lindapeterson8815 Thank you for the compliment! Wow, that’s interesting that you don’t have a water shut off valve inside your home. Here we have a water shut off valve in the front yard that the city can turn your water off if you don’t pay your bill, but only they have access to it. To my knowledge, there is not a generic replacement cartridge. However, the Moen cartridge is only $50.
I know it's been a year, but can a cartridge be initially installed just a tiny bit off? Or does the faucet equipment dictate that 2 and 7 are right? Seems like our facets aren't at 6, more at 5.5 when off.
@@lindapeterson8815 Good morning Linda! It sounds like maybe there’s some sediment or debris in your cartridge. Typically this can be fixed by, taking the cartridge out and cleaning it and flushing out the shower valve.
Thank you so much! It worked.
The previous homeowner (fellow DIYer) had done the bathroom remodel themselves and tiled over the faceplate on the mixer valve. A simple fix became a bit more complicated when I had to start cutting tile. I removed just enough tile to wiggle the old plate out and then opted to use the new one that came with the new part. Smaller and easier to install with less fuss. I spent $100 on parts because my local Ace hardware was the only store with both components in stock that was open on a Sunday. Looks like it would have been closer to $75 at Lowes, Home depot, or Amazon but all of those options would have taken a few days. Nothing like a same day fix thank you for the clear and straight forward video!
@@dgwk369 My pleasure, I’m happy to hear that minus having to cut the tile back a little bit everything for the most part went smoothly!
Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I needed!
I may have just smoked one of these with my lawnmower and need to know what it’s called for a replacement cap…
@@SideOut4Life 🤣 don’t feel bad that’s a common occurrence! Take a picture of it and go to your local home improvement store and tell them that you need a new sewer clean out cap or plug depending on what you have. Take a picture and show the guys at the store. It’ll either be 4 inch or 6 inch, so just measure it before you go, so you can tell them what size you need and they’ll take care of you.
exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you, just saved my sanity for ths second time. A year ago this video helped me set up printer to Tmobile internet. Two days ago my printer lost connection. I spent too much time with no success. Luckily I remembered this video. Rewatched it, the tmobile security level had gone back to their default. Quick fix.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Our Irish electricity is 230 volts, while USA is 100. So for safety there are no electrical outlets in bathrooms (save for 2 pin shaving sockets) and bathroom light switches are outside the bathroom. Sockets usually have on/off switches and plugs have a third earth pin.
@@aisling1551 What a lovely country you have! Violet and I will be back sometime in the near future!
I believe those are most likely Heat Pumps as opposed to Air Con Units.... Plug sockets in UK/Irish houses are pretty rare. I've done most of Ireland and plan to retire there but never made it around to Kerry/Clare/Mayo, you're blessed to have visited, it's a truly beautiful country with wonderful people, some of the very best.
@@Midland_Wolf_71 Thank you for sharing. Yeah, what a beautiful country you guys have there we absolutely love it!
@@BJPoznecki I'm actually in the UK (born n bred, but 100% Irish blood). I hope to move there in the coming years but its very expensive to British money
Oh wow! Thank you so much! About ready to rip my hair out! Thank you so much😊
I used this 2 years ago when we switched to T-mobile Internet. Because my son was a T-mobile employee our account was under him. We set up our own account 2 weeks ago, reset the modem and since then the HP printer wont work. I created a new network, the printer sees it, the network sees it but no joy. I know im missing something but what? Help!
@@Beargizmo3 It’s hard to say why it’s not working or if you’re missing a step. The only thing I could suggest is starting over from the beginning and going step-by-step following the instructions in the video and hopefully you can get it connected.
@BJPoznecki Thanks..I'm going to keep at it!
I got it working. I rebooted the T-mobile modem and voila! Thank you for a great tool.
@@Beargizmo3 That’s great. I’m so happy to hear that!
Is there a way to tight it up? The new T3 lightbulb I got has just a minimal difference (like 1mm) from the old one but because of that is not making contact, any suggestion?
@@yairhammett93 That’s strange that it would be a little bit smaller because typically these bulbs come in standard sizes. The only thing I can think of is usually the sockets the lightbulb goes into are spring loaded is maybe trying to elongate the spring somehow so it makes contact.
Dingle is a lovely place, unfortunately in Ireland house prices have become not affordable to normal folks these days. In my home town a 3-bedroom semi-detached house might sell for 420000 Euros but with average salary's of 45K they have no chance of ever being able to afford to get a mortgage to buy one.
Does this affect your electricity bill by having the fan running 24/7?
@@sashelblidgen2190 No, it’s drawing so little power. You won’t even notice it on your bill.
@@BJPoznecki ok something in my apartment is running up my bill and am so confused because am just one person in a one bed room apartment and I don’t use AC but yet my bill is 300-435 a month I just moved to this place. I have an electric stove, a 5 gallon fish tank, it’s has no lights but a filter that’s always running, fridge and microwave that stays plugged in everything else is off. What can I do because this is too expensive. Am trying to get the apartment people to come out and look Monday.
@@sashelblidgen2190 Wow that is crazy. There’s definitely something wrong because a one bedroom apartment even if you ran your air conditioning a lot would be no more than $60 a month. I wonder if your electric provider has your electrical service mixed up with the electrical service for the apartment building common areas. I would also have whoever you pay your electric bill to whether it’s ComEd or somebody else come out as well in addition to the people that work for your apartment building.
@@BJPoznecki thank you am going to spend the day tomorrow and make calls because someone has to give me an answer I can’t afford it. Thank you.
@@sashelblidgen2190 My pleasure, happy to help! Yeah, something’s wrong somewhere, because I know people that have a large house with a lot of electrical components that don’t even pay that much.
Thank you!! This hack worked!!
OMG - I am not computer savvy that much. My son tried to help me with this. I got T-Mobile to try to help me. I worked on this several times with my Epson printer and was able to print but all of a sudden the last several weeks to a month or two I haven’t been able to print. After watching your video, I did exactly what you said. I am not sure that I got everything exactly right but finally after sitting in here for about two hours my printer is working. I have the split network set up on my T-Mobile like you explained. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!! I can finally print!!! ❤😊
@@janetivy7639 That’s great, Janet. Happy to hear! ❤️
OMG!!! You are a saving grace!!! T-mobile tech support did not give me all the steps to complete the printer set-up. You may not be a tech professional but you sure gave us the key to fixing this issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are a LIFESAVER!!!!!

That is exactly what it was! Thank you
Had one break years ago, bounced off the part of my car that runs along the back windshield took a chunk out of a cinder block dent in my garage door dented one of the drawers on the other side of my car on my toolbox, did more damage to the car on a driver side saw the ripples in the body from the spring and they sent it to the body shop and repainted the whole car, which was fine by me
@@jimkihn1475 Yeah, when those springs let go it could be very dangerous!
Sixteen minutes? Really?
Ok but could you actually provide a solution to stop the noise.
@@nafiulshelim6194 Unfortunately not always. This is one of those things you have to get a contractor whether it’s a plumber or a heating and air conditioning contractor involved and you have to start opening stuff up where you’re hearing the noise and see if you can modify it to minimize it or eliminate it all together. But it is a crapshoot.
@@BJPoznecki Just knowing it can be fixed is enough for me.
@@nafiulshelim6194 it’s not 100%, but it is possible. Please know it could get a little invasive because all of your pipe and ductwork is in the walls and ceilings, and it may require you opening things up to fix it.

Ahhhh thank you so much! I was in tears trying to figure this out before finding your video!
How do these vents impact fire safety? I was told to sleep with bedroom doors closed in case of fire. Won't the fire and smoke just come on inside the room through the vents above the doors?
@@JenLit-gx7vo It’s not gonna make that much of a difference. What’s more important is you should always have a smoke and carbon monoxide detector within 15 feet of every bedroom, and a smoke detector inside the bedroom by the door.
