@@TotallyUniqueLife Hey Bob. Thanks for your best. Wishes. I must compliment you on this post and your conscientiousness - taking the effort to respond to each and everyone message. Qualify video, quality articles and the depth you went to guiding and supporting all of us. God bless you sir

Thank you @waynesumpton6360. I have enjoyed helping others with information and my experience with this procedure. The way I look at it, we can all help each other in life and it's nice for me to have that opportunity in this endeavor. Please keep me, and anyone else following along, how your procedure goes and God bless you as well. Best, Bob

​@@TotallyUniqueLifeHi Bob. Quick update. I'm booked in for Friday 27 September. Nervous excited 😅. I have a lot more confidence going into this one thanks to you. I'll keep you updated

Hi Wayne, that's great to hear. I think having the info up front makes the experience a lot easier to get through. It should be a piece of cake! Please update after your surgery and good luck! Best, Bob

Hi, thanks for your comment. You can pick up some scupper plugs to avoid the issue under your seat. Here is my video on that. - ruclips.net/video/LN5i11YHmYY/видео.htmlsi=RHWk1ZE-WONfEnsT . Best, Bob

Splints will be there for 10 days. I will be removed on sunday probably.

Hi Farhan, You should be good to go but, as always, ask your doctor. Good luck! Bob

Yup, I only paid $19.99 for the one in the video! Thanks for your comment.

They are cool and adding a water feature to your garden at such a low price is a great value!

I don't think it could hurt at all. If the shed is heated it will retain heat better with the extra insulation. Either way, I wouldn't be concerned about it at all. Have you insulated the door(s) of the shed?

Good luck in your recovery!

There will be meds available to help. TBH, my pain was minimal so I would hope yours is as well. Good luck!

I wouldn't do anything strenuous after the surgery for at least a week but just ask your ENT. He/she will let you know the proper precautions. I am not a doctor. :-) Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife thankyou so much.

@vanessadelacruz6191, that is awesome! It's amazing what insulation will do. Most people think it's only to keep the heat in during colder weather but keeping the heat out is another trait of insulation. I'm glad you get to use your shed more often now. Thanks for your comment. Best, Bob

You're welcome.

Good luck Jose! And thank you for your service! Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife appreciate your support bro 🙌🏼 This is the first one more or less checking my nose the actual appointment to fix my nose wont be made till that day.

Hey @TheThomasquake61, I think it should be a quick healing process. It was fairly easy for me after the first couple of weeks or so. There are a bunch of fitness-related videos on my channel! Check them out. :-) Good luck, Bob

Linda, agreed, I love my shed. I've made it my own man cave for working out and working with wood and just chillin'! Mine's just a tad bigger than his shed but even a 6'X8' shed will do the trick! Maybe you need a she-shed? :-) Best, Bob

To be honest, I really like the synthetic handle of this splitting axe. It adds to the light nature of the axe. The only real heavy portion is the cutting edge which allows yo to generate more force. I'm sure the STIHL axe to which you are referring is top notch. I certainly heard great things about their chainsaws. I do have a Husqvarna but STIHL would be my next purchase if I get another chainsaw.

I would use a little silicone spray or all-in-one oil to clean them up. That should work fine and should prevent the sticking going forward. Good luck, Bob

Hi, Here is a decent article on the topic. I faced mine inside as I want the heat to stay inside as I live in a cooler climate. insulationgo.co.uk/blog/how-to-install-a1-foil-faced-insulation-the-right-way/#:~:text=if%20it%20is%20hot%20outside,radiant%20barrier%20will%20not%20work. Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife that makes sense, since you have the silverside facing the interior and you live in a cooler environment, it makes sense. I kind of live in a warmer one, but it doesn’t ever get humid where I’m at. So I’m gonna face my radiant heat shield side against the wall where the source of the heat is. During the winter time, it could easily heat up because it’s a shed with no windows. The coolest it gets in the winter at night is maybe upper 30 degrees. It’s a pretty small shed, so I put a little heater in there. I’m thinking that it would be comfortable with a matter of just like 10 minutes. So this is the set up. I’m gonna do. Thanks for the article though.

I agree that it makes no sense unless you are made of money and it bothers you that much. Best, Bob

To be honest, I don't remember what they cost but they aren't exorbitant and you'll only need 1 or two depending on the size of your doors. They work great for me and I came up with this idea on my own as I didn't want to buy expensive doors. I think these are comparable and they only cost roughly $13 for a .75" X 4' X 8' board. www.lowes.com/pd/Common-0-75-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-0-6875-in-x-3-875-ft-x-7-875-ft-R-Expanded-Polystyrene-Foam-Board-Insulation/3365568

Hi @mercedes-benz7832, Have you checked out my video on insulating shed doors? I've been to Santa Cruz years ago with my late brother. Beautiful place! Here is the link to the video on insulating shed doors. It might help you out - ruclips.net/video/Qcvw7-w583Y/видео.htmlsi=d90MkFIuYcYLianr Hope it helps! Bob

Hi, That really surprises me because I've never used more effortless pruners. There must be a defect. You could call the manufacturer about the issue and they may reimburse you. Since publishing this video we use them all the time without a problem. Best, Bob

Hi. Yes I can still breathe properly. I think you should consult with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist in your area. He will be able to diagnose whether or not you need surgery to correct a deviated septum or not. Good luck and keep me updated! Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife Thank you

Hi, I had mine done a few years ago and have never experienced any long-term issues and still am able to breath out of both nostrils. Sorry for the delay in responding. Please consult an ENT specialist in your area so that he/she can diagnose you. If you have trouble breathing out of your nose or one of your nostrils you may have a deviated septum. Good luck and let me know how it goes! Best, Bob

Hi, You certainly can do that and, if you feel it will help, I say go for it. I regularly check behind the insulation for any condensation build-up and have found none. I do the same with my roofing insulation since I didn't install soffits or baffles. You could do that for sure if it makes you feel better and it couldn't hurt to be honest. I would say if you are in a really hot climate, it may make more sense than where I live which is in the Northeast United States. Good luck with your shed! Bob

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to leave that comment. I appreciate it! Best, Bob

Hi, it wasn't bad at all honestly. They gave me percosets for the pain but I only took one on the first day. Advil worked after that. A lot of people talk about the pain from removing the splints but if you use a lot of saline in the first week they will slide right out. Definitely not a high pain procedure but I'm sure others might have a different story. Good luck, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife yes I am just scared of the pain and incisions and stitches etc. And anesthesia. I never had general anesthesia in my life. And when can you go home after that? And you feel dizzy or in great pain or just mild.

You need to have someone drive you home after the procedure as you are still under the effects of anesthesia. It is a same-day procedure so you don't have to stay in a hospital overnight or anything. You are just wiped out afterwards and in a little pain but you are given medication for that. To be honest, for me it was not that bad but others may have other experiences. Best, Bob

So sorry to hear about your husband. Calling his ENT is definitely the best course of action. I think the ENT just didn't want to give me false hopes as I was in there for a septoplasty and not a rhinoplasty. I really have no idea how he handled it. I am happy with the result for sure. Please keep me informed on your husband's progress. Best, Bob

Hi, the interior section where the strap slides through is 1 3/8". The outside dimension of the clip is 1 5/8" at is widest portion. If you send me an email address I could send you a marked up image. My direct email is bobbessette@totallyuniquelife.com. Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife Thanks Bob, just measured the width of my seat straps. Exactly 1".... Will order same clips tomorrow. Many thanks.

Great! Glad to help. Let me know how they work out for you. Best, Bob

Hi Jeff, You could always add a layer of paneling or plywood over the insulation boards if you don't like looking at them. They don't bother me and they keep my shed approximately 15 degrees cooler than the outside temp when it's hot. Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife I am assuming that you chose to put the reflective side facing inside, to keep the heat in. Where as I am trying to keep heat out, here in Florida.

Yes. Here is a good article - insulationgo.co.uk/blog/how-to-install-a1-foil-faced-insulation-the-right-way/#:~:text=if%20it%20is%20hot%20outside,the%20reflective%20part%20is%20inside. Just go to the section that says: HOW TO INSTALL FOIL BACKED INSULATION ON WALLS? Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife That is exactly what I was thinking... Thank you !!!

@@TotallyUniqueLife The ceiling section did not strongly suggest creating an air gaps to help reduce condensation. Which I am considering doing with 2x4s laid flat instead of on edge. Giving me a 1.5" air gap.

Hi @soniaopleta981, I'm so glad it helped you out! We love ours and use it many times each day. I happen to think it is the best out there and at an affordable price! Good luck with it and thank you for taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate it. Best, Bob

Thanks for your comment and for watching my video! Best, Bob

Let me know how it goes! Thanks for your comment. Best, Bob

I assume your shed will be heated? From experience you should be fine with an R6 level insulation. I assume you are also going to insulate the ceiling, correct? One thing I never did was add any insulation under the shed. I was going to do it manually by cutting insulation and putting it between the joists but I'm contemplating having insulation blown under the shed. You may want to consider the same. It would be easier for you, due to the smaller size, to install insulation under your shed by cutting insulation and fitting it between the joists. Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife there is an actual insulation vent in the shed itself, but it’s located at the bottom of the rear wall. Maybe I can buy a portable ventilation fan that sucks the hot air out of the shed. The shed is heated as I have a portable heater. As for AC? Well this is why I was little concerned about the insulation. In the summertime heat I guess that it’ll always be 10-15 degrees cooler with these r6 level insulation. I will just put it up against the wall and ceiling of the shed. As for the floor? Maybe I’ll leave it, but I’m debating if putting floor insulation will be a path I decide to take or not. Depends how hot it gets inside the shed.

@@w.7407 In my shed I don't have A/C but it stays about 15 degrees cooler inside the shed on a hot day. Some leave an air space behind the insulation which you would do if you had soffits, baffles, and a ridge vent. For a shed the size of yours (or mine for that matter) venting that elaborate would be overkill. That's exactly what my carpenter told me. See how the temperature maintains before doing anything with the floor insulation. Good luck! Bob

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I weigh roughly 185 and the kayak appears to hold me very well. It didn't really concern me too much to be honest (the butt splash) and the scupper plugs did the trick. You appear to know your kayaks and I appreciate you taking the time to leave your experienced comment. Best, Bob

Hi, You are smart in having it done at your age. If your doctor is recommending it, I'm sure there is a need. I wouldn't be nervous as I am sure you have spoken to an experienced ENT and if he/she is recommending the surgery, I'm sure all will go well. The recovery is fairly quick and I do recommend that you read my articles that I cite in the description. It gives a lot of information that I don't include in the video. Don't worry. It is a fairly routine surgery and you'll be all fixed up in no time! Please report back after the surgery and let me know how you are doing. Best, Bob

You can use the same insulation on the ceiling as well. It's just that the ceiling insulation I used has a higher R value. To be honest, for such a small shed as you have, just go with the same insulation I used on my walls. Good luck!

@@TotallyUniqueLife thank you so much. That foam insulation has some sort of aluminum covering on both sides? That’s what it looks like. So basically how that works is heat gets trapped inside the 1 inch foam? This prevents the heat from coming into the space? I can’t wait until my shed is up. My friend is a contractor and he will be constructing it for me for a discounted price compared to the price that Lowe’s is charging. Only downfall is he can’t do it until late July but I’ll wait.

Well, take it one step further. Since I live in a colder climate, my shed is heated. So, the insulation keeps the heat in during the colder months (if it is heated) and the insulation keeps it cooler in the summer and warmer climates. You should talk to your contractor friend about also installing a ridge vent which facilitates ventilation of the shed. Mine was built with one. He will know whether it makes sense in your area. Good luck with it! Bob

Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your comment. Best, Bob

Hi, Yes, for sure. Typically in the heat of the summer it is roughly 15 degrees cooler inside the shed. Today, for example, I have an inside/outside thermometer in my shed and it is registering 85 degrees outside and 74 inside but the door has been opened most of the day. With it closed it would even be cooler inside. So, after you insulate, purchase an indoor/outdoor thermometer and you'll see the difference. Best, Bob

Hi, Yesterday my outside temp was registering 88 and it was 73 inside the shed. I didn't have the door open like the previous day. So 15 degrees is a typical disparity between outside and inside. Thanks, Bob

It is so funny that you do this because I do the same! :-) Thanks, Bob

@heidimorgan5024 Good luck with your surgery in a week! If memory serves there isn't a lot of airflow but if the saline spray is getting through there must be some. Your nose also drains even though you are told not to blow your nose at all when the splints are in. So that also tells me there is definitely some air flow. I would just take the advice of your ENT. He/she will know what is best for you. Good luck and I'll tell ya, it will be worth it! Best, Bob

Thanks so much, I will check them out. The seated calf machine is no longer available which is a shame! Best, Bob

Hi, thank you so much for commenting on my video and articles. I am so very happy that they helped you in some way to prepare for and recover from the surgery. I'm still doing well with my breathing and you are fortunate not to have to deal with splints. You're right, maybe there have been advancements made. I hope your recovery continues to go well and congratulations in having the surgery and making it to the other side! Best, Bob

Glad it was helpful!

Shop towels! :-)

They will love this kayak! Thanks for your comment. Best, Bob

Hi, yes I use the safety bars on my bench. Don't really need them much lately as I have been benching for more reps lately and less weight. I'm actually away on vacation right now so I'm not sure exactly which setting I have them on currently but it's perfect for me because when benching they don't hit the bars at the bottom of the lift but are high enough that I can scoot out under the bar if I need them. When I get home I'll check which setting I have them on. Thanks for your comment. Best, Bob

@@TotallyUniqueLife Ok, that’s what I needed to know, I think I will go ahead and buy this rack, thanks!

Hi, just checked. The safety catches are on the 2nd to lowest setting and they work well for me.

Hi Nancy, What I noticed was that the squirrels were coming up from the tree the birdhouse was attached to so I'm not sure how extending the roof would help but maybe I'm misunderstanding. Yes, after I implemented the metal protectors I haven't had an issue and we've gone through a new season. Thanks for your comment! Best, Bob

I'm glad you did as well! I'd love to hear what project you will be using it for? Best, Bob
