Thanks for stopping by! My name is Scott and I am by no means a professional carpenter, electrician, plumber, or any other skilled professional. What I am is always looking to learn and willing to jump in and get my hands dirty. As I build up my own experience around the house and with a couple of my rental properties I will take you along and try to share any tips or lessons learned which you can use in your own everyday home repairs.

None of the above worked
Just installed a brand new one (hard-wired with integral lithium ion), and it immediately announced I should replace it. It's getting 120V to the harness, so no idea what the issue is. If there's something wonky with the wiring in the circuit (e.g., signal wire), you'd think it would give a different alert and that it might affect other detectors on the circuit. ???
Has anyone else had terrible luck with the white tapcon screws? It might be user error, but the head constantly pops off on me when trying to fasten them in. Never happens with any of the blue ones.
have you ever seen lamps mounted to a 3 inch post without screws? I have a stone wall that has several of these.
# 999 x 999 x 9 .🎉
Thank you.
The upper connection of the long vertical stretch of downspout is on the inside of the elbow. Shouldn’t it be on the outside?
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the video!
Good things first. Silkaflex is a great product, don’t use on any slopes. I have not used the Tremco, nice to know it will do a slight slope. Bad part. The plastic bottle I have tried to use. The issues I had were, shaking it does nothing. There’s a lot that settles in the bottom that will never loosen with shaking. I have tried a spade drill with the point and corners ground off. This works well however there always seems to be lumps in it. It does not come out of the bottle very well when squeezing. Good information on the video 👍
Thanks for the video and knowledge
Thank you! The video showed me exactly what to order and how to install the parts. It worked perfectly! No more leaks!
I've seen some twist wire nuts that have come lose after a few years..even with tape. I stopped trusting those as I used to.
He fixed the hole but the rest of the video was on how to save a tube of caulking
nope
How to tell the difference between the real ones and fake? - can the fakes ones also have the name Wago?
As a retired HVAC contractor using magnetic vinyl worked well, I would put the size of the filter on it for easy reference. On heat pumps with marginal duct size I wouldn’t recommend anything greater than Merv 8
Laboratory electrician.
I'm getting brand new gutters installed on my house for the first time next week and the quote was right at $1,200. They added an additional $800 if I wanted to get gutter guards installed along with them. Seeing that that would be too much, I decided to do it myself wants the gutters are installed and will most likely go with the plastic guards that have the mesh screen on them. My mom used those without any problem for many years. I do plan on overlapping Mine by about an inch though.
I’m sorry but It was cheaper to just port new sidewalk !
What’s the screw for?
This is not entirely true Penny Sku's at HD is not meant for sale. Once they go to a penny, they are to be immediately removed from the floor. If by some miracle you stumble upon a penny sku, theres a good chance you will be allowed to take it, as the Management failed to ensure it was taken off the floor. However if you are digging to find these items, or ask an associate to find one, Home Depot will likely refuse you taking it and remove it from the floor there. Penny Skus are only a penny so it stays in the pos system, they need to hold some value in order to do so
I can't relate much to this video because my meter is as cheap as they come😮
Not if the only give our MilliAmps like most eBay do
My furnace was not starting through all 6 phases. I watched this video, removed the cover and BAM, it started working. I kid you not!! Didn't even have to touch it, just stared it down...😊
What disgusting waste of water 😢
What freestanding product did you use to hold down the copper pipe while you cut it.
I can't get in my gorage to reprogram the paid 😢😢
This would be a better meter to use for measuring alternating current as it has a LOZ function that is a must for measuring voltage as it puts a load on the circuit to see if it actually measuring the correct voltage or ghost voltage.Klein Tools CL800 I actually prefer a Fluke meter that has a LOZ function. I have seen a lot of Electrician get fooled by this as a Appliance Technician.Some of them don't even know what a LOZ terminology is.
Filters don't clean home air. Every time you open an outside door, literally billions of particles come in. Filters keep your furnace clean. A merv 7 or 8 is perfect to keep particles low and air flow adequate.
Ok I got the same valve stem it is stripped and the water is on is there a way to turn the water off from the valve stem? It needs to be rotated
Thanks!
I’m a subcontractor installer for these kits. Yes, the front and back walls are flimsy until secured to the side walls. Your kit comes with eave trim to cover the 2x4 soffit. (Supposed to) To your viewers, secure the rafters before your lofts. Reaching over shelving to toenail rafters is annoying. All said, nice build.
Thanks for the feedback 🙌
Another awesome video!!
Thanks!
Good info.
Imperial measurement: "a little over 15 inches" and "just shy of 28" inches. Try a metric tape measure with cm and mm.
Wago is garbage and you support garbage. Wire nuts are the best way to make connection
HOW did he drill into the panel BLIND but still get in the hole?
Have used the sika product, it works well.
Very informative video!! Very well described!!
Impressive , how something can fixed on hardest way,
Yeah don’t try boring through a concrete wall with a wood hole saw lol. Someday I’m going to put a mini split in so I don’t have to lift the window AC into the window and seal it up every summer.
Always good vids... great value.
thanks for showing how to do without attic access-- that's the exact position I'm in
I don’t think those r shark bite fittings but great video!
Thanks for the feedback, those are new generation of Sharkbite fittings.
The channel lock hint for locking in the disposal was brilliant. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.
