THE HOME FIXER
США
Добавлен 14 май 2022
My name is Jacob, Im restoring a home built in 1867. I am just taking you along the way on my journey to fix up this home. I am doing everything myself and consider myself a handyman. I like doing everything I can myself to save money and have things done right. Construction work seems to be in my blood but I learn a lot from learning from others online.

In this video, I reframe an Attic Fan to a plaster ceiling, install an intake return vent in the plaster ceiling, do some wiring, replace old nob and tube wires, and run some wires through the wall. The ceiling had been lowered, so I am going to raise it back up.
Can I use Pre mixed Joint Compound with Mesh Tape?
Просмотров 5421 день назад
Always use Mesh tape with Hot Muds or Setting type compounds (QuickSet) 20-45-60-90 Ect. Do not use PRE-Mixed Muds as they are not strong enough to hold the mesh tape and will eventually crack from lack of strength. You can use pre-mixed as your final coat over mesh tap that has had hot mud applied already. Mesh Tape can be found here: amzn.to/4dU8JNo

Fix Home with Low Water Pressure OR Water Flow
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Месяц назад
If your water pressure in your home is weak try replacing any compression shut off valves with ball valves and limit the amount of 90 elbows in the system. There are 3 different type of water shut off valves on the market. 1. Ball valve, Compression Stop Valve, and Gate Valve. I think the Ball Valve is superior for home water use.

Self Propelled Lawn Mower Broken, Easy Fix
I keep seeing people use spray foam in inappropriate places and it distresses me. Spray foam is not for fixing plumbing and it is not for repairing your foundation. It will not hold your house up
True
I love compression and gate valves!! As a plumber I have replaced hundreds of them! Great for business!!
That's one good way of looking at it. What do you replace them with tho?
@@thehomefixer176 where I am the water is very hard, they seize up and stem snaps off or stays open halfway, can't be fixed.
That's why you always go with the ball valve
I understand the point you are trying to make but by replacing globe valves with ball valves you are improving "flow" not "pressure". Like volts and amps, the terms are not interchangeable.
Yes your right Flow should be the term I used. Even a small hose can have more pressure but less flow. Maybe I should say "Fix home with low water flow."
@@thehomefixer176 It would be interesting to know the before and after GPM of your modification. The combination of installing valves with lower Cv and removing elbows will certainly have had a positive effect.
Whats the best way to cut the rods?
Cut off Wheel or a grinder. amzn.to/4drZTXJ amzn.to/4dHsKHi
Im first
Good stuff bro!!! Thank you
ball valve!!! gate valve will freeze in one spot over time. trust me I have cut many out
The hard water collects inside the valve, but this is over years. If you install a whole house filter system this shouldn't happen.
@@thehomefixer176 im a plumber bud....trust me gate valves is 1950.....they no good
@@jameswarren436 I use only Ball valves myself.
@@thehomefixer176 they work years later. I have cut many gate valves out and replaced them with ball valves.
@@jameswarren436 I just did the same thing in my house, I had 2 restricting flow downstream to my upstairs bathroom. ruclips.net/video/r2mQKtCAdqc/видео.html I made this video on it showing inside the valves.
Fascinating that there are so many solutions to the simple task of turn water off (or on) .
Yea I didn't even know these things a week ago, until I had to fix my low water pressure problem in my house.
I finally know what my windows are, aluminum track. Both of mine have come out and the windows fall close with out a screen. Anyone know how I can remove these to clean them?
Mine only came with the hi low off switch. Now hi and low works but I can’t turn it off. Think I need to buy a timer?
The timmer will allow you to use it with the switch you have.
Great information for our old windows. Worked great!
Glad it helped
It is really risky searching youtube for pulling toenails. All the other videos thumbnails were gross. All of the nail pullers seem to be designed to pull perpendicular to the board the nail is in, which tends to cause the wood to split when trying to pull nails put in at an angle.
Is this project inspected by local building inspectors ?
I had the whole house inspected.
Amazing!
Thank you for the encouragement. I'm a 70 yr old lady, am renovating my 1920's house and need to replace the old sewer vent. I've planned and prepared but wasn't sure if the Diablo blade would really do the job without a lot of muscle power. I'm more confident now and will get this project finished! Question though: wouldn't a heat gun on the rubber coupling be easier to stretch it?
Heat gun may have worked. But the wood worked great for me.
Well done. Impressive undertaking for a do-it-yourself project.
I learned alot doing this. Im glad I recorded it as Im sure I will forget a lot of what I did.
you in Chicago?? never heard em called “masonary” bits til i moved out here lol
damn near, a few hrs south
Super helpful, thanks!
u bet
How do I repair my crown molding that is detaching from the dry wall?
Re-nail it if its wood with a brad nailer.
The clean out should have been on the vertical pipe about 2’ feet up because if the pipe was backup and full, when you opened the clean out you would have a mess. 😂
Well thank God, I never had a backup.
Hey How to connect the pipes
Sorry I didn't film it because its in the crawl space and it was dark down there. I had copper pipe so I bought the right fittings to work with the lines. If you want I can make a quick video for you if you need.
Be all you can be , the few the proud, the plumber 💯👑
YEA!!!
Can you help me try to figure out how to get my window screens out. Ive tried everything. My tenant is literally melting in her room because i cant get the window screen out to put in the window ac
Make a video of it and post it here on youtube, then I can watch and see if I can help you out
like a dream in paradise very clean and perfect
How do you take the storm window on that out. That’s what I need because mine isn’t coming out
There are screws on the outside of the house.
One other thing you could have done to test your PVC pipe is to get a test balloon and fill your pipe up. To make sure there is no leaks You put the test balloon in your test tea
great video Jacob i purchase one myself and you video made it so much easy to assemble thank you.
Glad it helped! It's what it's about!
Very nice,,exactly what I needed,,great idea thank you

Question live in a 1942 house first house with a floor grille .. where does the air filter go? Its an hvac unit with heat pump
Should go where the heater hvac is, unless you have it in the return vent.
I got my channel to 169 subs now. Keep up the great work you're out doing me
Yea I still need another 450+ It takes time.
Great vedio and work Jacob looks great. Saying hi This is Uncle rw
Thanks, hows california life out there?
you forgot to weed wack the lil trees growing on the curb
Yea I did that after, with a shovel
And you forgot to subscribe!
New at this. Took on a customer requesting i mow 1/3 her yd bigger than yours 40 bucks. Told her today i need to use my commercial. Told me i agreed to use push n everyones doin it for 35 n 40. Told her she got my 2 week notice. Told me go ahead n use commercial....😂😂😂
These mowers turn a chore into fun. My wife got her first zero turn mower almost 21 years ago, it still runs and she still enjoys using it. I tell all my friends, "Mowing is woman's work". She play along and laughs.
yea I agree it is alot funner then walking a push mowers around for hours.
THANK YOU!!!!! Your video save my month. I am overloaded with new plumbing install on my daughters newly bought 1884 farm house and just found out she has knob and tube in everything but the basement "cover up" job they did. I am redoing the large bathroom and have so so much to do theis helps me pout so so much. Thanks!!!!
Your welcome glad this helped you out
I was having trouble with the truss wire, the instructions weren’t too clear, thanks for this video 🙏
Hey your welcome. Glad this video helped!
Thank you but maybe don’t tell people to do something the wrong way first
Also you need to make sure that we can see what ur talking about
@@huntermiller8040 Sure boss
@@thehomefixer176just to be clear I didn’t mean to be rude at all. Sorry if it came out that way
"street" means it is MALE on one end
Do you then remove those 3 screws to the right that hold the lath and mud? Or leave them in?
leave them in. mud over them, I counter sink them in a bit
Buy a new house. Just kidding. Nice tips.. Thanks for posting.
But new homes are not as built as good as the old ones were. At least the wood was true 2x4 and cedar wood. A new home with a roof leak would rot right away these old homes can be saved even after all that.
Very good job. At the beginning a little bit scary but you did good.
when i saw the title i was thinking i was about to see some sort of micky mouse spot repair on cast iron, glad to see you actually replaced it lol
I did think about putting a bandaid on it, glad I didnt go the easy route cause those do not last.
Sir when you sand you dont damage the molding?
no, just use a 180 grit or finer, not to ruff of sand paper
Our aluminum tracks don't have any screws or nails showing. How can we adjust them to remove the window for reglazing?
hmm Im not sure without seeing a picture.
Nothing like leaning back and relaxin'... right next to the shitter.
yea
Question, what paint do you recommend?
I notice any paints ok as long as primer is used before paint, this is important. Not paint with primer built in it. Always use a primer then your paint, I use glidden, behr or sherwin williams.
Your video demonstration is straightforward and clear. The comments provided additional information for consideration. I am in a position where I HAVE to do the repair myself because no professional is available for weeks. You’ve saved me hours by demonstrating how to do this.
I hope you can fix it, let me know how it comes out.
Probably saved you a lot of money for a plumber too!
I just saw this thread. It came out great! Passed building inspector review and my plumber was impressed. Yes. It saved me a lot of money, too. Thanks, again.
You just literally saved my a&@!!! 49” Prebuilt Vanity in a 51” Wide Bathroom. Needed to take the windows out to get room to shuffle the vanity and had No Clue how to get the wood windows from the aluminum frame!
Its pretty simple once you know how to do it.
Aside from not knowing the difference between a Fernco and No Hub band you did great. Split next to the cast hub? I have had much success with a Fernco Clay to Cast to fit over the Cast hub😊
It's a 22 and a 1/2 cast fitting
