Roger that, thanks!

I'm choosing to take this as high praise. Thank you for the encouragement!

Hi @manukahoneyguru - these are great questions. I'll do my best. 1. Regarding use on 200+ grape vines: I only use Sevin ONE TIME - at the start of the Japanese Beetle season. As soon as I see Japanese beetles on my fruit trees, I hose them down. Though the bottle only "guarantees" success with direct contact, Sevin leaves a film on plants when dry that inhibits insects like the Japanese beetle from landing on them. While, yes, it will KILL Japanese beetles hit directly with Sevin spray, the film that Sevin leaves behind will deter insects for at least a couple weeks. Combine this with the behavior of Japanese beetles to emerge from the ground and follow the scent of pheromones of other Japanese beetles, those two weeks of Japanese beetle freedom are crucial. As a matter of fact, as I mentioned earlier, I spray ONE TIME, and don't have Japanese beetles on my trees for the rest of the season. So, I think this is a viable option for your 200+ grape vines. 2. Regarding why NYS prohibits use: Sevin contains Carbaryl, an ingredient that is deadly to japanese beetles, but is also a human health concern. Carbaryl is believed to be linked to increases in human cancer. My guess is that there is concern for the local watershed (and the humans and animals that use it) when people go overboard and repeatedly saturate their plants with Sevin, leaving some to run off into the watershed. Hope this helps! Have a good one!

@@mancyclediy Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. Nevertheless, it seems a statement SEVIN produce a "film" over a leaves surface is in your mind. The label says nothing about any prolong protection. I sprayed my vineyard and seaberry garden with Sevin for 8 times during summer season, not because I like to spend my time with 4.5 GA backpack sprayer wearing a protective suit and mask in 85+F but because I see non-stop Japanese beetles infestation. So your "film" does not work for Windsor's NY Japanese beetles. Second, I stated initially about Sevin prohibition in NYS in form of a dust or granules only. Liquid concentrate that you used over your trees in a video is widely available to buy and use. I found that Sevin in form of a dust or granules lasts much longer and does not require a direct contact with adult Japanese beetles. I used it once buying it from Pennsylvania located Walmart ( 4 miles from NYS boundary) where for some unknown reasons Seving in granules is permitted. As well talking about cost I found that Spectrazide is double cheaper comparing with Sevin providing absolutely the same effect over Japanese beetles and spotted lantern flies.

Good information - thank you!

@stevefellerd8901 My pleasure - glad it helped!

Hello my friend! Yes, 12/2 CAN be used with wafer lights. If wired correctly, your switches should not interfere with your outlets. Turning the switch off should not turn power off to your outlets. About your final question: the use of 12/3 mentioned in the video was within the context of 3 way switches for wiring LIGHTS, not outlets. The typical Romex size for wiring outlets on a 20amp circuit is 12/2. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing the tip!

@machina_aeterna You have encouraged me with your kind words. THANK YOU. I'm glad it helped!

Great question @chancellor9000 . I would recommend you do it yourself if you are a brave DIYer with a strong back. Otherwise, I would suggest hiring it out.

@@mancyclediy Sometimes I think of myself as brave and frugal. My wife may beg to differ!

Haha I hear that!

Absolutely

Unfortunately, full plaster skimming Americans went extinct during the last ice age. 🙀

Sometimes the low-hanging fruit is just too tempting, ya know??!

I was hoping to see the face of Chuck Norris when he took his helmet off for the first time…

@@mancyclediy what up bud, hey isn’t drywall supposed to be hung from top down?

Hey there, yes it is - I’d always hung it from bottom to top, but learned after publishing this vid that the pros hang it from the top down. The rationale for this is to minimize the gap size between wall and ceiling, and that makes a ton of sense to me, so I’ll be doing it that way from now on.

@@mancyclediy props bruv take it easy

Would probably work if you put 2 locators in the box.

Yes, exactly. 2 targets for the 2-gang box and you are all set!

@meta2016 good to know - thanks for sharing!

@lildjmix08 Haha thanks!

Great tip - that makes a ton of sense. Thank you for sharing this!

Hey there - my basement is the same way. Yes it can, but... water in the basement isn't any good. You might think about installing a sump pump if water is an issue. My house sits close to the water table, so I have installed a sump pump for that very reason.

The time saving element (at least for a DIYer like me), is being able to skip the precision measuring and cutting of the hole prior to installation. Route it, saw it, whatever works best for you!

Absolutely my pleasure!

That’s sneaky

Thank you!

I’m so glad it helped you!!!

what if it's older than this and wrapped in like black fabric. you know from like the 1940s?

on top of that, there's no ground wire no Bear wire

Absolutely - thanks!

Oh boy, black fabric and no ground? I’ve never had to work w that before.

@@mancyclediy does that mean, I have more experience than you 🤣💜🚫

Super powerful ninja thumbs?!! I love it

😹

@stephenvos2380 - my pleasure, and very kind of you. Thank you!!!

Hi @robharrison1191 - super kind of you. Thank you, and welcome to the channel!

Yeah, it’s ridiculous

Hey @searching4truthdavis924 THANK YOU!!!

My pleasure, friend!

I haven’t tried hot glue. I guess it would work if you don’t plan on repositioning your artifacts anytime soon.

Man, thank you @UnkleBokey !

All good there @jgeisler - as you know, heavier gauge can be used without danger.

Agreed - I should have had protective gear on!

​@@mancyclediyno comment 🙄

@bevsucceeds That’s awesome, thank you!

Hi Mateo! Man, I’m afraid that questions about PVs are beyond me. Good luck with your project!

Happy to help!

Haha you bet!

Absolutely

Hi! This is super interesting- thank very much for sharing this. I’ve never even considered using stranded in these applications, and it sounds like you’ve been around it much more than I have. Worth looking into!

Im gonna have to disagree with you there - those are absolutely Japanese Beetles. Green thorax, copper colored wing colors, and 5 tufts of white hairs in a row along the abdomen. Those are most definitely Japanese Beetles.

@@mancyclediy Disagree all you want I worked in Pest control for Orkin Exterminating and know what a Japanese beetle looks like and what you pictured is a June bug which is an entirely different and Larger bug than the japanese beetle. June bugs are Dull in color where japanese beetle is half the size of june bugs and Brightly colored. June bugs are just that JUNE BUGS. They appear in very late may and are gone by the end of June and ARE NOT NEARLY DESTRUCTIVE. So if you want to correct someone about something Know what youre talking about Because this time you argued with someone WHO KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE Because I worked in the industry and Know the Difference. I did see one or 2 Japanese beetles in the mix But mostly what you were showing in those DULL colored bugs Were JUNE BUGS And all they do is take a little nibble on a leaf and leave WHEREAS a JAPANESE BEETLE Eats on the WHOLE LEAF until it destroys the tree plus Japanese beetles go after your fruit trees and garden June bugs DONT they go for a little nibble on one leaf of a Regular tree NOT A FRUIT TREE and THEY NEVER GO AFTER YOUR GARDEN OR FLOWERS Know your insects before you go after them . Youre one of those people who will kill a Honey bee because you dont know the difference

Hi @douglasmorrison9098 I wanted to offer some possible reasons why you think you are seeing June Bugs in the video, along with some evidence that these are, indeed, Japanese Beetles. And I am hopeful that you will allow yourself to receive this disagreement in a positive, or at least neutral, way. I offer you 4 points to consider: #1. You mentioned that June Bugs are dull in color, while Japanese beetles are brightly colored. Yes, you are correct. If you are viewing on an older TV, or from a phone with the brightness turned down, then you are not seeing the vibrant nature of the coloration on these Japanese Beetles. These beetles have a bright green thorax, and copper colored wing covers. Additionally, the tell-tale sign that these are Japanese Beetles, and NOT June Bugs, are the 5 sets of white hairs on the underside of the abdomen. June bugs will never have these 5 sets of white hairs. And these hairs are visible in all of the footage in this video. #2. You mentioned that June Bugs will not bother fruit trees and garden plants. Please notice that the footage in this video was only taken from my garden and orchard. The tree that you see me spraying is a plum tree, and I chose to show this tree in the video because Japanese beetles LOVE my plum tree. In your own words, June bugs would not be bothering any of the plants that you see being fed on in this video. #3. You mentioned that Japanese beetles are smaller than June bugs. I just want to remind you that objects in the video are smaller than they appear, especially if you are viewing the video on a TV. Many of these shots are “close-ups” of Japanese Beetles. Without an image of both types of beetles side-by-side in the video, we cannot assume anything about relative size. #4. And finally, June Bugs are nocturnal. People most often see them in the evening and night, and typically they are attracted to the lights on a porch or in a garage. Please notice that all of the footage of Japanese Beetles in this video was taken during the DAYTIME. And this makes sense, as Japanese beetles are diurnal (active during the day). I hope this helps alleviate any confusion. Have a great day, Joe - Mancycle

@@douglasmorrison9098Keyword “worked”, bet you were fired for not knowing what a Japanese Beetle is

@@the_linguist_ll No actually I quit after getting a house ready for fumigation and crawling all around under it to inspect the termite damage then the next day pulled all the Tarps off to find dead snakes laying all around the edges after I had been crawling around all over them that was 5 years into the buisness. I never went back so YEAH I KNOW WHAT A JAPANESE BEETLE IS TOO BAD YOU DONT

They do if they seal off!

@Travis141123 Good to know - Thanks for sharing this!

That’s right!

Haha, well, he definitely did NOT call it “convenient” or an “improvement”. This video wouldn’t exist if that was the case.
