Construction and Design examples in Sketchup (esp. for DIY and HGTV lovers!)
This video is meant to show a few amateur examples of construction and design plans you can do with Sketchup (free modeling software) that's DIY friendly. It's a great way to visualize spaces for both design elements and practical clearances, come up with floor plans, render a kitchen change with new cabinets and countertops, OR virtually frame a building with studs, joists, beams, sheathing, etc. to create a build plan and generate a bill of materials for the hardware store.
As I mention in the video, I'm not affiliated with Sketchup, nor am I an expert in its use. If this video inspires you to try your own designs and you're looking for guidance on getting started, I suggest checking out...

$15-20 Cedar screen door
Просмотров 457Год назад
Simple screen doors at big box stores can cost over $100, and almost all of the other videos I could find on RUclips for building your own use a bunch of expensive woodworking tools. This is a simple, low cost door frame that can be built with only hand tools and a drill. Materials: 1x2x8 cedar (~$5 each). You'll need 3 for a 32" door, and 4 for a 36" door. Corner bracing with the off-cuts (lef...

Budget SSD upgrades - don't overpay! Gen 4 drive in Gen 3 motherboard, PCIe adapter testing
Просмотров 240Год назад
Do you have a budget or midrange PC? Most reviews focus on "the best" upgrades regardless of cost, but don't overpay for what you don't need. This video shows in-depth speed comparisons of all the storage interfaces from SATA I up to the latest PCIe Gen 5.0, and specifically focuses on test results in two areas: using a modern low-cost Gen 4.0 drive in an older PCIe Gen 3.0 M.2 slot (like many ...
Cheap DIY: 30' Structural Beam, two new windows, and siding repair for $300
Просмотров 432 года назад
This simple siding repair job turned into a massive restructuring effort. Our lake cabin gets a lot of rain and moisture. The T1-11 siding had a lot of rot along the bottom edges, straight through to the inside in several places, so we wanted to do an inexpensive fix by ripping off the bottom 2 feet and putting up new material. Instead, when we started looking under the siding at the beam, we f...
Cheap DIY: Replacing an old plastic skylight with Sun-Tek glass skylight for under $200
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.2 года назад
Replacing a ~33 year old leaking plastic skylight with a new glass skylight (double insulated, argon filled, Low E coated). This was a HUGE upgrade for the finished space over our garage. The old plastic skylights are notoriously prone to leaking, and even with higher quality skylights, the flashing has to be 100% perfect or you're virtually guaranteed to have leaks. This self-flashed unit elim...

Tips and hacks for using Realtor.com, Zillow, and Redfin to quickly filter and find homes, especially multi-family rental properties.
So you have to take photo of each page what if that book like 1000 pages
The top part that screws broke any help on how to remove it (the top part unscrews when i try to unscrew the whole thing to pull out)
Thanks man! I spent like 2 mins, then decided to go to sleep and find a video tomorrow. Today is tomorrow and you sir have made my life easier!
Glad to hear it!
I despise these bathtub stops with all my heart
Would it be easier and faster if you got dslr / mirrorless camera did that take memory card out put in computer convert all those images in format you want no proof reading required.,? Proof reading is adding extra steps more time into this
No, it's not the quality of the photo that's the issue, it's the quality of the source material itself as well as how optical character recognition works. Even with a perfect source, there will be some errors to correct, because OCR isn't perfect (translating a photo to text). On older books with faded fonts or smudges, you'll have more errors. However, with decent lighting, your phone camera is more than capable of taking a good image.
What if do not possess an I phone or the likes?
Android phones work too!
could use sheet of glass/plexi put on top to hold flat....er. But glare may be issue
Can I do this with an iPad?
Yes, you can, same steps. Calibre doesn't have an iOS version, however, so you'd be limited to using the version that Google generates without error cleanup.
Thanks a bunch, I do alot of Research about my people & our beliefs, Which means most of the books i end up owning are typically hundreds of years old. Which means they are usualy falling apart or will if i open them enough times. I remember about 10 years ago seeing a stick like instrument that you could use to slowly go over the surface & scan it. But those cost alot of money from what i saw. But Originally i was just taking pictures of each page but it was a hassel to rearrange them in a pdf maker after wards. Ayo, Hawwah Great Spirit Bless.
Is there a link on where I can buy the same light box and lights??
This one’s no longer sold, unfortunately. You can search for “photo light box” and see some similar, folding options. Most have LEDs in the top now, so you’d have to have a stand for the book and shoot it from the front, vs. top-down.
Great video with detailed step-wise explanation! Very informative! Is the rough opening of this Sun-tek 1733 Skylight14 1/2" x 30 1/2"? In other words, you need to cut the roof with this rough size of opening for installing it? Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, the advertised sizes correspond to the rough roof opening to cut, it's also listed in the installation guide. On the outside, there's a 4" flange that extends all the way around. On the inside, it has a wooden surround, if you finish the interior with drywall it's an inch smaller on each side, so the finished opening would be 13 1/2" x 29 1/2".
Dam didnt work for me :(. Does your instruction miss a last step that disqus says one must do?
There’s got to be an AI (GPT-chat something) that can do a really good job of converting the text from OCR to Word without so many massive character mistakes or bad spacing. Anyone found anything like that?
I was thinking the same thing! If not it'll come soon I have no doubt
Nice analysis and great reference. In my line of work I'm not so interested in storage performance, but I am keenly interested in PCI performance as it relates to available network adapters. In particular those based on i210, i225, i226, x520, x540, x550, x710, and e810 chips.
Does this work with books in a different language? Especially if the pages open from right to left instead of the traditional left to right we have with the English language.
Can this be made kindle compatible?
Yes! epubs will work on Kindle, or you can save to their own format.
Can’t I use my internal pages from my editor?
Do you mean if you already have text files you want to convert into an eBook? Yes, Google Docs can do that, but I'd suggest Calibre as the better program for formatting and conversion. The beauty of the free OCR in Google Docs is in turning images into searchable, copy and paste text.
I hate when I’m trying to find out how to do something and i have to watch a 30 minute video of someone taking forever to get to the point bc they keep rambling on and on. This video was straight to the point and showed me exactly what i needed in just 5 minutes. Thank you! Great video!
Man please please please I need ur help ..after I’m done editing on google docx ..it’s doesn’t keep everything as I edited it like the pages and stuff it moves it around
Like what I mean when I download the edited google docx ad a pdf file everything stays arranged the same way but when I convert to pdf either with google docx or calibre ..words don’t stay on pages…it’s as if a page break doesn’t exist and I have no idea how to do this for epub conversion …does google docx have some sort of feature that forces items into pages and not to flow freely when converting to epub
Can I send the scanned items from my phone straight to my Mac then edit it to ebook using calibre app?
Not directly, without using Google Drive in between as described in the video: it's doing the optical character recognition for free (converting a pdf, a series of pictures of text, into actual typed text that's editable). Most OCR solutions that can be installed on your computer, like Adobe Acrobat, must be purchased. Once Google Drive has done the OCR, then you can edit it in Calibre on your Mac and export to ebook.
Hi your video was very informative. Can you please tell me where you got the instructions from that you show on your video?
Hi Erick. The primary instructions come right in the box with the skylight, and can be found on the website too, under model FGC: sun-tek.com/home/skylight-installation-instructions/installation-guides. I also showed some information from Velux, their self-flashed model QPF, the direct link for that guide is here: www.veluxsolutions.com/apps/LPI.nsf/0/A97CB289C0BF9E9B852579760066D117/%24file/QPF%20Installation2020-06.pdf Hope that helps!
@@lifetourer5009 Thanks for the response and providing more info.
I find that using Microsoft lens (iPhone or Android) and exporting the pdf into calibre gives me the best ebook. Calibre ocr seems way more accurate as far as my experiments went. for some reason calibre would only ocr pdfs produced by office lens. I used the document filter. with calibre, convert pdf. heuristics on, linebreak .2, delete blank lines after/ before paragraph, absolutely no images on pdf. even using my old nexus 5 hand held I get results that are very good
Thanks for that tip
Which app u unused for scanning?
Notes on iphone
What’s the official website for caliber ?? And how would I find the exact website or app you used ??
Calibre is free, open source and cross platform, their download link is on their website here: calibre-ebook.com/download Otherwise the only apps you have to use are the camera and Notes on your phone, and Google Docs.
Intresting and different, super☺🙏👏👏👏👏👏👌
Can you explain, how can I upload the Photo, to Google Docs? I've red the distribution box, still I don't got it. Do I have to download the Google Docs on my phone to upload all the picture I scanned ? Thank you.
Try going to drive.google.com, then upload your pdf there and open it with Google Docs. Remember, you want a pdf file, not actual photos - this is why you use Notes to scan versus just taking pictures with the camera.
Can you sell the ebook once you’re done
Upload it so the next generation doesn’t have to buy the physical version
obviously the rights remain with the author/publisher
I know what I'm doing this weekend.
It was probably the best 'How to' RUclips video I have come across. You have saved me $$$.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
@@lifetourer5009 , a great help indeed. It is going to help in digitising some rare texts on Indian philosophy and metaphysics. The only limitation is that 'Notes' does not allow more than 25 pages to be scanned in one document, so I would need to merge sets of 25 scans later, which is doable.
Thanks so much
Great Job brother.
