    In this home improvement project I'm removing a bar and building a bedroom and bathroom. This family has more kids than bedrooms upstairs. A lucky 14 year old teenager is going to get to have this awesome basement.

    Whenever I'm leaving a dead cable in the wall I like to twist the conductors together and wire nut them. That way if in the future someone is doing a remodel or something and attempts to energize this cable it will immediately create a dead short, otherwise they may end up leaving an open air energized conductor in a cavity just waiting to cause problems. Do this on both ends of the cable and label it something like dead 1 or dead A, if you do this on a separate cable dead 2 or dead b etc.

    My cousin's house burnt down from a bathroom fan. They are pretty dangerous and should have their own switch. They should only be run when needed. I suspect it was dirty or left on for too long, not sure, it was years ago. Anyway, I would suggest both switches, but that's just me! Keep at it handyman, old vid but this one is awesome so far.

    Damn! At the dump in my county the most expensive material is “Construction Waste” (what you had) and it’s something like $50/ton. What a difference

    On two different houses, I've had a basement doors cut out by a guy with a gas motor, stationary circular saw with a two foot or so blade.. It was water cooled, and bolted to the outside foundation wall, and no dust that came inside. I don't remember the cost, but it seemed very reasonable at the time (40 years ago).

      What is your favorite thing to do out of like carpentry electrical and plumbing? For plumbing do you use pex i noticed in a lot of your plumbing repairs or adding water lines you use copper just wondering if you use pex at all or not?

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  Před 7 lety +1

      I use pex a lot. I use all pex for the hot and cold lines to the shower for this bathroom. Before I went to college I was an electrician. Electrical work is very easy for me. A remodel like this one is what makes the money. Sanding drywall has to be one of the worst jobs. If I could pick just one thing to do It would be some kind of cabinet building.

    It's nice to see someone not take a sledge hammer to everything, these reality flipper seem to think demo needs to be destruction when just taking a few screws out is easier and less mess.

    First, I like the videos, and you do good work. Second, I do similar work to you what you do, and I really wish the jobs went as fast as what your videos make it seem. Haha. With fast forward engaged, you are putting a lot of time and work into 12 minutes of video.

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  Před 7 lety

      Thanks, Most 10 min videos start out around 1 hour and 45 min of video footage. I try to condense them down to show the highlights.

    Was the height of the bathroom exhaust vent, as well as the adjacent (dryer) vent up to the local code? I was less than a foot off of the ground. Won't snow block it?

    Nice video, specially the cam knocking part! What kind of wood do you use for the framing?

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  Před 7 lety +1

      they are called framing studs. Just 2x4s from Lowes. they are called out as white wood. Its some kind of pine.

  • @spacewolfjr
    @spacewolfjr Před 6 lety +1

    is this like a crawl space under a basement? I don't think I've seen that before.

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  Před 6 lety +4

      Yes. In areas that have expansive soils a concrete slab can't be put down as a basement floor because it would go up and down to much. This house has a structural sub floor above the dirt.

      This was about 3 weeks. I told the customer 4 weeks. I always tell them it will take longer then I think in case something comes up.

    Does this basement have a crawlspace?

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  Před 7 lety

      It does. The expansive soils in this area do not allow for a slab on grade floor.

    • @MzClementine

      The Handyman interesting. We want to redo the basement and I believe we have that issue. Hmmm so we have to make a sub floor?
