Old Rag Fire Road to Robertson Mtn, to Weakley Fire Road to Old Rag Fire Road
zhlédnutí 69Před rokem
At milepost 43 on Skyline Drive I hiked the Old Rag Fire Road to the Robertson Mountain Trail to the Weakley Hollow Fire Road to the Old Rag Fire Road. This is a very difficult hike, but especially difficult if you hike it clockwise. The last 5 to 6 miles is all uphill with a very steep grade. If you hike it counterclockwise, I am guessing you could cut 2 miles off elevation gain. There are no ...
Brown Rocky Mountain Loop Trail 2 28 2023
zhlédnutí 64Před rokem
Park at the Brown Mountain Overlook at milepost 76.8. This is a very difficult hike and you should exercise care. It is very rocky and there are approximately 10 river crossings so you will need shoe coverings, old shoes or something else. It took me 4 hours 50 minutes to complete. There are very steep elevation gains and losses.
Wildcat Riprap AT Loop Hike 2 21 23
zhlédnutí 75Před rokem
Hiked the loop consisting of Wildcat, Riprap and At trails on 2.21.23. This was a 10.48-mile hike which required 4 hours 10 minutes to complete with an elevation gain of 2142. I started out on the Wildcat and finished on the AT. There were five water crossings that will prove challenging if you do not bring old shoes or shoe coverings. This trail has about 4 miles of stream (river) views and is...
Doyle's River Loop Hike 2 15 23
zhlédnutí 56Před rokem
Hiked the Doyle's River Loop on February 15, 2023. The weather was wonderful with temperatures in the 60s. This is a beautiful 8.83 mile hike with one waterfall after the other. I did not find it extremely difficult and would describe it as moderate. The Jone's Run section is all uphill. I started at Doyle River Trailhead, milepost 81.1. Took me 3 hours 52 minutes to hike and I was in no hurry.

How to Tile Shower Walls and Surround
zhlédnutí 16KPřed rokem
Our upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The shower surround is 55 inches high. The 24 inches above the shower is covered with sheetrock which is susceptible to moisture. In this video we show you how we tiled this area with ceramic tile. We did seal the grout, but this step is not included in this video. We hope you enjoy and please subscribe to our channel. Take care.

DIY Slingshot that Shoots Arrows
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed rokem
Slingshot that Shoots Arrows Project. I created a slingshot designed to shoot arrows. I basically freehand the design to scale. I traced the design on a piece of 1x6 red oak purchased from Lowes. Cut it out with a jigsaw. The entire project required about 6 hours. I am very pleased how well the slingshot works.

In this video I show you how I built a wall and door on my lean-to. The shed and lean-to were built in 2006 but I never installed a door on the lean-to. Now that I have a table saw in the lean-to I want to protect it from the weather.

Very nice! 👍
Me too! Then im thinking about caping them with concrete slabs to hopefully help the brick step to last longer. What's your thought on that?
I think this is a great idea. Good luck on your project.
Thank you for sharing. This video is very helpful for my own bathroom project. 😊
Good video. The intro was excellent. Looking to run this Friday evening.
Where did you purchase the products? Do you know if you can use paint or it has to be one of their color packs?
I provided the name of the product, so just Google a local dealer. I would not use paint, but you could contact the manufacturer.
I’m ready
I am curious about what you did at the top of the tiles along the ceiling..caulk or anything? Also, along the top of the shower wall where the tiles begin. Did you do anything special there to seal that area? Thanks. By the way, it looks great!
I am trying to remember. I think I use a grout at the top and bottom. Remember, the top of the fiberglass shower should be L-shaped, so there is little to no chance of water reaching the sheetrock. I hope this helps and good luck with your project. Our project still looks wonderful and no water issues. Larry
Great job. How do the extenders for the sockets work?
An update as of 5.27.24: The surface still looks great and is holding up well. We are still happy with this product. Larry
That looks fantastic!! You did such a nice and clean job with all of it! And no doubt, received the husband of the year award 🥰 Your video was extremely helpful!! I have done a lot of tile work but never over drywall. Thank you so much!!
Looks great, nice work.
You did a pretty good job! But for anyone else doing this, use a facemask and gloves while cutting the marble. You can get silicosis from the dust! There's no cure for this, some people might not have much trouble but others might!
Thanks for making your video. You have given me the courage to put a backsplash in my kitchen. Yours looks GREAT!
Beautiful!!
Did you apply the aqua defense over pre-painted walls? If so, do I have to sand it first?
I did apply aqua defense to the walls before installing the tile. I did not sand the walls. By the way, the installation still looks great.
@@karinandlarryathome8711 Thank you so much for your reply. I close on a house this Friday and can’t wait to do this to both bathrooms. Really appreciate how informative your video is🙌🏼
You did an excellent job!
can you please link the trim, tile and mud you used? thanks and nice work :)
Looking 👀 great .. Can’t wait to start mine..!! Doing the same thing.. and around a window
Hi! Love your video. Can I ask, what did you use to capture the (non aerial) video footage? Thanks!
My Samsung S21. I have very good cameras, such as the Nikon Z8, but I use my S21 when in my kayak. I also used my drone.
Beautiful!
Trust me you want to use the guy lines , i have this tent you need them for stability and air flow, i love this tent , im currently using this on the Appalachian trail right now ! I'm actually 6 miles from Penn Mar Pennsylvania ,been using this for 9 weeks now and its excellent in downpours, high winds etc. You definitely wont have any issues being wet , even without using a ground cloth ,but i highly recommend that you guy out the sides as well to stop condensation. Nice video though! Safe travels my friend
can I expect to se bears in the wintertime or do they hibernate? I plan to visit tomorrow (Dec 28).
You forgot the water chestnuts
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's big help.
If you just get the adhesive protection you peel off and use as a stencil against outlet would be faster then measuring.
What adhesive protection are you taking about?
I will never see these in my lifetime. I really like the butterflies! Thank you!
My favorite Virginia river; so much history and natural beaty.
Do you think a sedan can navigate these roads safely or would an SUV be required?
yes, the roads are well maintained
Cars do fine on the roads there
Thanks so much! Getting ready to go camping with friends, first time to set up myself and just did a pre-run watching your video. So helpful!! I have a Grand Mesa 4 - but the setup is exactly the same. Thanks to Gracie, too, an inspiration for all campers. 😸
I shared your comments with Gracie and she says you are very much welcome. Enjoy your camping adventure and be safe.
Does this tent have a ceiling compartment to store small lightweight items?
Some of the these comments are just vicious!! Sir you did a great job and thanks for the tips 😊
I could be wrong, but I believe that hawk at 30 seconds might actually be a Northern Harrier. The ring around its neck, and the outline around its eyes. Great video, I'll be there to photograph wildlife for a second time next week!
czcams.com/video/37re5DStkGQ/video.htmlsi=3ckZG0zhzOh_AcVY❤
good job...great idea
Don't need a ground cloth ??
yes any tent needs one
how much soap and water to use for the misting?
i was born in Richmond Virginia
It's nice that she has vertical climbing space, but I would extend the bottom section 2 the end of the wall so she could also RUN back and forth. The space doesn't have any flower beds or landscaping, so it's kind wasted: It would be great to add to her outdoor space. Nice job though. PS- I would paint it white 2 match the house as it's bit of an eye sore in that unfinished condition.
Great job! That looks very professional.
I was there last year. After a long day I finally saw a bear but down the road near some homes. I’m going back in two weeks in July
Is this attached to the house, or just free standing? I ask, due to us living in mobil home and husband doesn’t want anything attached as afraid of leaks
It is attached, but I a way that will not damage the house. I attached it where the seal board meets the cinder block. But, if damage is a concern, just make it free standing and brace it accordingly. Good luck. Larry
Good one 🐱
great video
Geeat job! Very helpful! Thanks so much!
is it possible you have any plans for this? I just want to build a simple 6' tall catio
I do not have plans. Each catio has to be built to the window size and foundation conditions. Good luck with your project.
Thabks for the video, i just got the shower replaced and now looking at different ideas for tile
How many bags
Pleasant valley sunday
One last thing, I could not get my Alltrails app to start running until I was halfway up White Oak. The cell phone signal in the entire park sucks to say the least. That is the White Oak Fire road near the upper Hawksbill parking lot. Ha! I didn't even see the foot bridge!
If you haven't done so already, I definitely recommend going up Hawksbill. Not only are the views spectacular but near the summit are groves of spruce and fir trees which only grow in the wild at the highest elevations in Virginia and are very rare because of that.
