Thanks

Cost. We actually did remove the tree this winter. $3k. To dig up the front yard and replace the pipe would be very expensive. I'm curious if removing the tree is going to help with the root problem. I could get the sewer line relined, which would cost a lot less. Thanks for the comment.

It's actually stucco netting that was used when the house was built. I just installed a new drip screed.

@@BruBuilds Makes sense! Super common on older homes! That's what's on mine!

Thanks

Thanks

To help prevent it from getting tangled, keep it close to the clean out pipe.

@@BruBuilds Understood. Thanks. 1 more question. Does this exert more power to get rid of the clog than the one that looks like a tommy gun? I think it's called a drum auger.

That is just a hand held version of what I have, it may have a smaller diameter snake. If you need more power you would want to use a larger diameter snake, like 5/8”. Sometimes it takes 10-15 min to clear a clog, it would get old to have to hold the weight an auger with a hang held unit.

@@BruBuilds Makes sense. Since I have to deal with a sewage connection underneath the toilet, I will have to use a larger diameter to clear it. To get the right one, would it be advised to get the diameter of the sewage pipe? I would have to temporary remove the toilet, wouldn't I?

@@BruBuilds Ah, makes sense. That would be annoying after a while. Would it better to get a measurement of the diameter inside the pipe to rent the right type of snake? I would have to remove the toilet temporary, wouldn't I?

I agree

Thanks and have fun fixing your pipe.

@@BruBuildsthank you! I did it and it worked! I’m so happy and the swampy corner of my yard can finally dry up 🙏

We put in a ventless unit, so an exhaust pipe or chimney isn't necessary. There are less code requirements for a ventless fireplace. www.majesticproducts.com/fireplaces/outdoor/courtyard-gas-fireplace

I would definitely would like to have this.

Unfortunate I don't real have any building plans that I share. I use an older 3D modeling program to design my stuff.

Thank you

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Yikes

I don’t use it that much but it start with one pull each time.

@ashrafsabik3078 I use a 3d animation modeling program, which isn't really a CAD or building program. Are you wanting drawing that you could build from?

I see, im planing outdoor kitchen, and ur vedio was the most helpfull i ever seen, i will follow it step by step and see the materials and ur teps It we will be useful i think Thnks

​@BruBuilds which software is that?

@BinghamtonInvest it is called Lightwave3D

Google sketchup its fine

Yes, that has been pointed out to me. Thanks for the safety tips.

That's a good question and I'm not really sure of the answer. My 50ft snake isn't long enough to reach all the way to the street and city sewer line. I get roots growing in at a certain spot and once I clear that area, the rest of the sewer works fine. My understanding is "newer" city sewer lines use a vertical sewer tap to connect your house line to the city line. I'm guessing if the snake reaches this area, it's just going to hang down and spin. I would be concerned if your house still had clay pipes for the main sewer line.

The concrete countertop video was a test top to see I do actually do it. I'm working the video for part two of the fireplace now which will include, gas, electrical and cement board. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, it will be a bit still, between the weather, work, other projects, and finally deciding what to do for countertops, the fireplace stucco has been on pause. I'm working on part two of the fireplace now.

@amandayother9196 Thats sounds scary, especially that your house wasn't supposed to have gas connected to it. Good reason to call 811 before digging. My understanding is the gas company is responsible for the gas line from the street to the meter, the homeowner is responsible for anything past the meter. Who fixed the line? Last year the gas company replaced the line from the street at our house and used the same type of yellow pipe I installed in the back yard. I would call your gas company and talk with them.

@jpeterson991 yes I would use a concrete saw to cut two parallel lines first. There should be rebar you will have to deal with so a few cross cuts might be helpful. Make sure there isn’t anything under the concrete that could be damaged. Are you sure it is only 2”, that’s not very thick for a slab.

@@BruBuilds I already have roughed in plumbing it’s in the wrong spot and I need to add a drain for a sink. So in the existing spots for pipes they have a gap-I probed down and can visually see only 2” thickness. You think there’s even rebar? It’s just a basement slab it’s not meant for heavy loads

I guess it depends on where and how old your house is, if there is rebar, a concrete saw will cut through it without a problem. I would recommend a saw that has the water attachment, it will be messy but a lot less dust. Happy DIYing!

These should be able to handle tree roots no? Did you guys have a bad experience with tree roots?

I use mine about once a year in the front that has tree root problems. I just take it really slow and easy and don't over twist it when the bit stops spinning. I have rented a 5/8" auger with power drive and it does get through roots much faster.

@@BruBuilds okay, it worked, I'm also using copper sulfate as preventative maintenance

Thanks

It’s called Lightwave3D. Its an animation program for movies and TV, not really a CAD program. I’ve used it for years on different projects. I think I have the 2010 version.

I’ll probably rent one from Lowe’s in the next month or two and see how that one works.

Thanks, yes they are the 3.625” wide studs. G90 might be a good idea. I went to an industrial supply place and asked for outdoor structural studs but they ended up giving me two different types. But much better than what HD was selling.

Thanks for watching. I tried some white vinegar on some other pavers, it removed a little bit not as well as the efflorescence remover.

@wstt4 I would try pouring water around the area where the faucet and sink meet and see if it starts to drip under the sink. Hard to know where the faucet might be leaking without seeing it. You could remove the handle and check if there are any signs of leaking around the valve inside the faucet. There should be a set screw holding the handle on.

They say a little dance can make any task more enjoyable, even home improvement!

I’ve watch other videos where they cleaned rugs, but I personally don’t have any experience with cleaning a thick rug. Most pro carpet cleaners complain that these type of units don’t have very good suction power. I imagine it may struggle with a raised pattern. If you have regular carpets to clean as well it may be worth a try.

@michaeljuliano2869 Thanks, I'll talk more about the doors in a future video. We tried going with Vevor, but had customer service issues. Ended up purchasing Kodom brand directly from Amazon. They were the only cheap ones I could find with a wide flange. amzn.to/3J2RCeY

Thanks. Looking fwd to the next video

It’s a 40 year old pneumatic hammer or chisel.

Haha, nope that wasn’t me.

I reused over half as gravel. The rest I was able to get rid of at a land fill that took concrete. I tried to find a recycling place but didn’t have much luck. Look up placing that take construction waste in your area.

Generally sidewalks wouldn’t have rebar. Rebar is used in structural concrete like foundations and slabs. A bigger Jack hammer would work better over the demo hammer I used. Still the same process, try to get it to crack and work along the cracks. Cut the rebar if you can when it gets exposed.

Thanks, me too!

Thank you

@XenaTheQuadCamBikah Good luck and happy unclogging!

Crapping roots? Classic 72 yr old brother stuff.

I had another viewer mention that. Trying to think if there is a way to test the "gas in the bubbles" theory.

I may need to use the LSA for my batteries soon.

Yes, both the pipes were old, I don't remember if I cut them from the same piece. I would have expected the pipe to crack when I had it around the tree, if it was an age issue. Thanks for noticing.

That is the main reason I switched.

Good to know
