Building hanging shelves
I have a lot of games collected over the years. Instead of using a boring regular old bookcase to store them, I built a pyramid-shaped set of shelves that hang from the ceiling. Each shelf is 1/2" plywood. 1/8" steel wire runs through them and hangs from hooks screwed into the ceiling.

Installing large ceiling molding ... with a pulley?
Просмотров 93Месяц назад
I have a coffered ceiling in the shape of a circle in my foyer. I wanted to add a ceiling medallion, a ceiling ring, and a chandelier to dress it up. Working with large molding is tricky, but a pulley system ended up working well. The chandelier is an LED ring light with multiple (6) tiers Links: High thrust caulk gun: amzn.to/3SoMZRt Ceiling medallion: amzn.to/3WtseFP Ceiling ring: amzn.to/3yf...
Hidden cabinet
Просмотров 3294 месяца назад
I found some unused square footage in my house. I cut open the drywall, built a shelf to hold a cabinet, built a cabinet with fixed and adjustable shelves, and then built something (picture/panel/art?) to hide the cabinet. Here's a link to the jig I used to drill the holes for the shelf pins - worked great: amzn.to/4bFwM1R
Horizontal slat fence to hide AC units

      I found that an 18 gauge brad nailer worked best. 1.25" nails. The nailer I used in the video broke, so I'm currently using one from harbor freight. www.harborfreight.com/18-gauge-brad-air-nailer-64140.html

    Wow, these are my new best friend never knew they existed till seeing them at Home Depot. Fixing PVC has always been such a huge pain in the butt. I’ve been spending about three hours trying to repair our current PVC one trying to slide it back and forth, but in hundred degree Arizona heat everything expands and not really possible a normal coupling.

    I would have tried to do a post firs to ask first if notching the original vertical 2'x6"'s would have degraded them. There's a question (at least by me) of if they load-bearing up-down (in which case, probably less). If just for support of the joists left-right, it might not have been an issue. And saved you a lot of work.

    Get your DIY projects completed by the time you're 60 because the DIY enthusiasm/willingness wanes as you age. I have many projects, but have been putting them off, and putting them off because I've lost interest in doing it my self. I'm 66.

    • @projectreaDIY

      The Brock panels lay directly on the sand and the pavers lay directly on the panels. (Sometimes the pavers were not perfectly level with each other, in which case I added a bit of sand between the paver and the panel.)

    For your corners you can purchase "corner/elbow connectors" You cut each corner at the contacts and attach the cut ends of the LED strip. I've had bad experience with slight bends in my strips, seems overtime to cause some damage to individual LEDS. You can also try Ambient Sync lighting which sync the LED colors to the content on the screen. I have a few videos on my channel if you're interested in seeing what it looks. Subscribed.

    One of two things I’d do differently, 1 strip more of the wire jacket off leaving 1/4” of romex sheath. 2, wire up the fan to the left switch then the light on the right. 3, add electrical tape on devices and finish installation.

    A good glass and tile cutter is necessary using a diamond or carbide wheel on a tile cutter for cutting glass tiles. Also glass oil on the wheel helps the blade stay sharp and in good shape to get clean cuts. Also Ive never seen anyone grout mirror tiles. Usually those are butted up together so I learned why and what not to do on this video. Sorry. Looked ok when done. Mirror tiles arent ceramic tiles. Theres a difference between them and how to install. Lol

    Coming up with 2 equations that cover all digits and operators is an entertaining academic problem but it's a lousy Nerdle strategy. There is no point in walking away from information obtained on your first turn rather than building upon it. Perhaps for a player of low-skill, it's a strategy that increases the odds of solving the puzzle within 6 turns but my goal is to try to solve it in 2 turns if possible. This strategy of playing all digits and operators makes that impossible.

    • @projectreaDIY
      @projectreaDIY Месяц назад

      Agreed. You can't do better than come up with a best first guess and then use that info for the next guess.

    this will eventually fail due to the rubber gasket inside the coupler. I don't recommend using it. depend on your location. a plumber used it to repair a waterline and it failed within a year. Had to dig up the whole thing and do it properly. So far it held up 6 years and counting...

      I sanded down the stops in a coupler where it will BARELY slide on without glue (had to muscle it). Think I got the idea from electrinicsNmore from RUclips. I dug out a bigger hole so I have room to work in. I cut out a bigger section about 15inches of pipe. Put a coupler to the existing pipe. The slip the coupler without stops on the pipe. I put a tons of pvc cement on the joint and slide the coupler to join the 2 sections. So far no issues. I would also pack sand over and under it so it doesn’t crack in the future. Good luck

      Add some! We bought my house while it was being built and had them not finish the garage to save some $.

It was a little more expensive than drywall and definitely more labor intensive but it came out great
