How to sand and refinish hardwood floors
Просмотров 732 года назад
I watched a lot of videos on how to sand and refinish hardwood floors and they were great but I think they complicate things quite a bit. We have used this method quite a few times and customers have always been extremely happy. We are also very happy with the outcome and it’s not as complicated every buddy makes it out to be. enjoy!
How to straighten a leaning garage
Просмотров 54 тыс.2 года назад
Customer wanted us to straighten their garage. (It was leaning 5-1/2 inches to the left) We used tie off brackets (for roof harnessing) on each corner of the front and back of the structure. We used heavy duty ratchet straps to pull the structure back to a level position.then we installed cross bracing on the test and upper areas of the garage. Enjoy!

😂 the applause sounds are hella funny. If you’re still making videos add the Halo 3 head shot confetti sound effect. 😂
Thanks! Easy peasy if you have a little construction skill.
That was very useful. I have an old garage from the late 1940's, (here in Sydney Australia). In a couple of areas the hardwood frame has rotted out and the sheet fibro (asbestos sheeting), is effectively holding the garage together. Plus the corrugated tin roof is rusted and there are a few holes in that as well. SO: I am going to reno the garage, which will include replacing the roof and probably a fifth of the timber frame, plus adding 2 new doors and a window and using weatherboard cladding instead of sheeting. I will also be insulating the garage and might even drywall / gyprock to really finish the inside nicely. Your content, I know, is going to help me so much; thanks for uploading, subscribed!!
Thank you so much! Good luck with your project sir.
Did they put those anchors in with SDS screws or just framing nails?
Thats not level at all. Its plumb.
You show it backwards the clamps should be on the opposite
bad thing is why was it leaning either foundation or weak construction over time, that's the biggest red flag. im just always Curious on the WHY WAS IT LEANING???
A lot of times it's because of bad design. In one situation we've seen they apparently tried to add a tool shed onto the back of it without properly reframing it. Also due to bad drainage design the rear wall is a moldy nightmare - it's bad to the point that insurance wouldn't cover it at closing.
,y bad Nice alternative way to do it tho thanks
i simply use a 2x4 and a bottle jack :) just as easy except no roof anchors needed ;-)
This is genius
Hey, I have a garage that’s kind of leaning to a side, how much would it cost to get it like this?
The results are great. I notice that the existing door opener will not work with your bracing I don’t know if you can install a new door without having to remove the braces. Note that there is no door in this video. Somehow there has to be a more creative way to brace so a door will work. Nice job otherwise.
Great video. I had the same issue. The back of my garage leans to the right. I figured out how to straighten it but then was wondering how it would stay that way once I removed the straps. Do you think if you did not do the bracing, if it would have leaned again eventually?
Thank you for this. SOG
Plumb not level.
Need yo help in lower Michigan 😂
It is dead plumb ( vertical)
Need Help With Mine Can You Help Me Out.
isn't vertical plumb not level?
Are u in wyoming?
No unfortunately we are located in Iowa, but we can travel. We would figure mileage into the estimate if you’re interested.
Great video and not alot of wasted time, Im always looking for how to tips for repair around my house so great job, thank you.
Thank you so much!
This was AWESOME. Roughly how much does a job like this cost compared to a new garage? Also are these fairly common?
Yes, these types of garages are all over the United States. Something like this would very impressed, depending on what condition your roof was in. And also, what state do you live in because we live in Iowa and we would have to travel.
@markjroberts43 0 seconds ago this is usually due to foundation issues or ROT on one corner, allowing the whole thing to shift...how do you shore up a broken foundation or the bottom rot?? did this one have rot where wood comes into contact with the ground????
👍
Well done!
We have the same problem in our garage. What kind of ratchet did you use because I think this would definitely help us fix the issue so we can potentially close and finish the walls to use it as a workshop
We just used really thick, heavy duty, ratchet straps you can find them at any home improvement store
Dead plumb, dead plumb, dead plumb My carpentry teacher drilled it into me!
Need mine done
Nice Pantera to finish the video
Thanks bro 🤟🏼
Although i can't seem to find any company to do this in my area (Detroit area), what ballpark does a service like this go for?
Milwaukee area for me. I need the exact same thing, roof and straightening. No one can do it. They want to tear down and build a new one.
Same boat, man :(
I'm fixing my garage in the Detroit area. Mines a bit different so I have to tackle and add a significant amount of supports. But wood and screws/nails alone is going to be about 300-400. I think if I contracted out the job it would be anywhere between 2 to 4k. When I got my driveway redone, I contracted someone to do a temporary repair which cost $400 which didn't really plumb/level the garage but gave it a little more rigidity. They only pushed it back a bit and added a small amount of support on the front, but didn't have any Lumber spanning the whole garage like they did here.
Did you find anyone to do it?
Looking at some other comments the prices have varied between 10 and 25k so I might be way off lol
Where can I find you!?
im about to do this for a client what did you charge for this ?
The cost just depends. You have to factor in what your materials are going to cost you plus what you think it is worth in labor. The cost is totally up to you.
What an awesome video and very helpful! Definitely not ready to tackle this type of project by myself. Would a lean of just 1 inch be enough for you guys to go ahead and try to fix it or is it still pretty sturdy?
Absolutely
Plumb….
Great job fellas....what do you charge for a job like that?
It just depends. If the roof needs to be replaced or if you want to sheet it and not cross brace it. Also depends on how rotted the wood is. I would just have to see it.
Just to straighten/properly level it what is the cost $$ ??
You have to figure in what your materials are actually going to costume and what the labor is worth to you and how long you think it’s going to take. It’s totally up to you what you want to charge.
It is really more brilliant than it may appear how this was fixed. Straightening up and laterally bracing a wall with nothing in it, such as a garage door opening is much more difficult than a regular structure. You have to add rigidity to the back wall and then connect the front to the back via the ceiling.
Yes thank you. I’m glad you noticed! I appreciate that
Dustin, I enjoyed your leaving garage video. I need help! My husband used to do this kind of work, but not any more! The building inspector is on our butts to get my 100 year old garage back in plumb (although, that's how I bought the garage 33 years ago!). How much to fix it?
Hi friend..and everyone here.God is so wonderful and good to me for giving all of you to be my friends 😍
I how do you do it if it is leaning in?
Shit mines 1 foot off the foundation... 5 inches out? Mines about a foot and a half lol
Nice work. I am buying a house and was quoted $25,000 to do this.. Thoughts
Well I guess it depends on how big the structure is. If it’s a house I’m not so sure this method would work.
@@dustinholmes7525 for a 2 car garage...
We were told 10,000 and ours is 2 car width 3 car long.
lol Looks like my garage even the MG (mine is MGB) Actually, my garage is well maintained but it leans to right about 2-3 inches. thanks for the video!
What kind of siding is that? Looks like my garage, which from the side looks like tongue-and-groove that leaves that slightly curved channel between the boards. But all the T&G I see at the big box stores fits tightly together with minimal to no channel.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
where did you find brackets????
Any home improvement store. I got those at Menards
@@dustinholmes7525 found mine at Home Depot
Nice I got a garage about double that size, tall too… would you recommend the same process? You wouldn’t happen to live in iowa would ya 😂
Yes we are located in Burlington Iowa
@@dustinholmes7525 haha nice! I’m in Davenport but I got it straightened out! Thanks for the video!
Hmm, this reminds me of my garage. except mine is leaning because the sill plate has rotted out completely on two sides. Still trying to figure out if its worth saving, but this gives me some ideas if I do.
Perfecto! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you!
I have a two story garage (top is bedroom) that is leaning a lot. The roof is in very good shape. The frame has a lot of termite damage and I believe I would need to make support frames just to be able to work on it. It would probably cost as much to tear it down as it would be to fix it. Really don't want to do that since it's on an ancestor line and would loose seven feet of garage space if torn down. Also very short on money and saving for framing lumber. Any ideas?
Well first we would straighten the garage then we would sister new framing studs onto any damaged or rotted studs then we would either cross brace the walls or sheet the walls with OSB.
