    I had this hose. I loved using it, but after maybe 2 or 3 years the inner lining burst. And unlike a normal hose it's irreparable. It also has low water pressure so it's not that good for impact sprinklers. They're good if you find yourself dragging your hose to a million different places in your yard, and if you can grab one on sale :)

    In climates where frost / freezing occurs, you need to consider the frost line. In Michigan, code dictates a depth of 42" to avoid heaving. Really glad I found this video to see the Johnson Post and Pipe Level. My local hardware has it in stock, so I'll be picking it up in the morning! I was searching for an example of using two 2x4s to stabilize the post, but I'm thinking of following @twoalward9166's advice and just holding it in place until it sets, especially since I'll be using the Johnson Post and Pipe Level and won't need to fumble around with a standard level.

    I think your method of poring half a bag at a time is good advice. In my experience the gallon of water never seems to be all soaked up by the concrete and it sets too fast/gets too hard (for me) to poke holes in it to allow the water to flow to the bottom. I think Quikrete recommends a little less than a gallon of water per bag but I could be wrong. If doing two bags per hole than definitely do halg bag then water.

    its ok until the last part where you fill in the top part with dirt. That ground to wood contact is a problem. It's not wrong, but it's going to result in greatly reduced lifespan of the posts. as compared to another method that avoids the ground to wood contact. The post will rot quickly at this part of the post. I did this and had to pull and replace within 5 years. A better way is to use a form and wet concrete and build up the concrete 3 inches above ground with the top sloped away from post. There are at least two other videos that describe this.

    Hi there! I am struggling, maybe you can help... A few months ago, I installed a long closet shelf + rod combo in my closet. It's for hanging shirts, clothes, etc. Gets heavy. And it's across the length of the closet, about 70 inches. Looked beautiful for about 6 months. Just today, it all crashed down... I'm not sure what to do, but every single drywall anchor ripped out, leaving huge holes. If I were to rebuild it, my preference would be to put the screws in pretty much the same place, because it's a tiny closet with not much room for moving things around. What's your recommended method for reinforcing the screws? Should I spackle them, try rescrewing back in? Or take the drywall down and add a wooden support to it? I can't figure out where the studs are. This is my first diy project and I thought I did such a good job. Can't believe it all crashed!

    • @ReluctantDIYers
      @ReluctantDIYers Před 15 dny

      This is a GREAT question! The best way that I have found to mount these clothing rods in closets is to mount a board on each wall (aka each end of the rod), which is mounted into your studs. Then you mount your rod to those boards. This will give you a significantly stronger mounting surface. I talk about this premise in this video: Drywall Anchor ISSUES When Hanging Heavy Items on Drywall czcams.com/video/pug5wmddD3A/video.html I hope this helps! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
