Measuring Sprinkler Water Use
We use the home's water meter to determine the total amount of water used by the sprinkler system. We cycled through each zone of the sprinkler system, measured the time, and used meter readings at the beginning and end to determine the amount of water used. From that we can calculate monthly water usage. This can be compared to the monthly water bill to see the impact on the monthly water bill.

    i have about 19 years experience in hollow metal doors and frames and i have to say you did a great job on the repair metal clad doors are not fun to work on and it is unbelievable that they don't use thicker woods and also a treated wood for exterior . most people do not think to use treated and i think it is a must. the bond was the only thing that shocked me but if you think about it is a form of glue because it sticks to everything but it will de-laminate if you do not add 1/8 " to 1/4" holes for it to grab to but i do not have any experience with the green stuff. 1 thing i think would be great is if they made caps for the tops like the door bottom weather striping that are u shaped for if you need to cut theme down but you did a great job on them

    • @FixItDepot
      @FixItDepot 2 дня назад

      I agree with the need to use better materials. I have done six doors now. They all are holding up well. The “green” stuff is a fiberglass based Bondo that gets super hard. Almost too hard and takes longer to sand. Picking an adhesive was the biggest challenge. Some of the ones I looked into specifically said to not use on metal doors that are exposed to sunlight. I guess either heat or expansion would mess with the glue sticking. What adhesive have you found to work the best? Adding the holes is a good idea. Thanks for the comments.

    Thanks for your review. I purchased it for my textured pool deck with its tile floor grout advertising. I have been pressure washing, which makes a big mess. It cleans flat surfaces well. The scrubbing brushes retract to easily to not allow a deeper scrub. The spring action and plastic gears keep it from digging in. Even adding additional spray cleaner directly to the floor did not help. Pre-scrubbing with the a stick brush did a better job. My need would be a commercial scrubber.

    • @FixItDepot
      @FixItDepot 7 дней назад

      Thanks for sharing your experiences with it too. I agree with your points. I just did all the bricks in my house last week. Getting the grout clean is a major pain. This time I used a rotary brush I bought on line for deep cleaning the grout and also pre scrubbed with a stick brush. Then multiple passes with the Hoover. Since my floor is brick I used extra water to help rinse. A lot of work, but they shine now. I think all of the non-commercial scrubbers are going to have some issues.

    Thans for this video. I just replaced my Moen faucet replacement hose and when I turned off the water to the inlet valves I noticed black water leaking from the valves. Now I have very low water flow on the hot and cold water sides but no restriction in hoses. I replaced the washers on the valves and they crumbled when I removed them. I'm guessing some debris from the washers got caught in the faucet itself since I blew out both hoses that attach to the faucet. Wish me luck!

      I think the reason they recommend it to be used at 90 degrees is so you don’t cut into the repair. As long as you are careful with it, the angle probably doesn’t matter that much.
