Didnt help but thanks anyway
Can this be layed on concreting
Yes for sure 100%. I’ve done it on wood sub floors, concrete, and vinyl peel & stick flooring. 👍🏼
I didn't see a ground wire.
I should have attached a ground wire. Maybe it didn’t make it in the video. Thanks for watching 👍🏼⚡️🛠️
Doesn't it require conduit running to a junction box inside by code?
Not in my area. Romex wiring in a wall stud cavity is perfect 👍🏼⚡️
Thank you. Clear, very informative, straight to the point.
Thank you for watching and your positivity 👍🏼😊
Why didn't you plug in your tester after installing the gfci? .... because it will still show a error code, you didn't ground the outlet
Thanks for watching. Yes it will still show open ground. We have added fault protection and you have to label the outlet as “no equipment ground provided”
about time to upgrade to laser level
Probably. However I make helpful videos for average homeowners and most people don’t need a laser level 👍🏼😊
@@HomeRapidRepair my brother was very hapy when we hung pictures using a laser level for both horizontal and vertical alignment
@ they are pretty amazing 🥇
and for concrete or cocrete block walls?
Several viewers told me the tap in plastic wall anchors actually work good on concrete blocks 🛠️🛠️
@@HomeRapidRepair so i shall NOT throw them away....
Thank you. I have so many holes in my walls because I'm a novice. Now I know exactly what to do by watching your video..
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and good luck 👍🏼🛠️🛠️
Thank you for sharing your money saving tips.
Thank you for the positivity 😊👍🏼
I think the remarks would be a lot better if you would have color matched to make it blend better and worked the thin vinyl patch in with a hard smooth object like the rounded end of a screwdriver handle so the grain shows more. The color being too dark and people without the ability to visualize how it could look being the main problem.
I agree with all your comments. You’re smarter than the average bear 👍🏼😊
Agreed with other comments. Do not do this over time it causes outlet and switch failure often cracking at a higher rate. I’ve pulled too many crumbling switches out that were back stabbed. Use higher quality outlets with plates, built in wago style connectors or take 30 seconds and do the classic proven practice j hook at the wire end attach with the screw. Quick wrap of electrical tape for good measure and seat properly. Back stabbing is cheap sometimes dangerous practice.
Thanks. I agree. All smart comments here. Thanks for sharing your experience. There’s a huge difference in the $0.99 outlets compared to the $4.00 outlets ⚡️👍🏼🛠️🛠️
That one used for the towel rack is no different than the Molly anchors
Thank you for watching 😊
If it is foundation related movement why is the cracking predominantly vertical with no horizontal component? If I was going to say this was definitely foundation movement then I would expect to see cracking in the mortar bed but the cracking is only in the perpendicular joints. I'm a structural engineer for the UK.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. I appreciate it. I’m a licensed builder and home inspector in USA 👍🏼😊
Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Another option, add dual function breakers
Nice idea. Thanks for watching 👍🏼😊
Thank you... this information can save a lot of time wasting in repairs, especially when your family loves to pull plugs out of powerpoints without care.
You bet! Thanks for watching and your smart comments 👍🏼😊
Thanks, I liked and I subscribed .
Thanks for the sub! And for watching. I appreciate it 👍🏼😊
Thanks. Great advice and easy solution.
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for watching 👍🏼😊
Thank you for your video. I just painted my walls with the blue painters tape and I had the same results! Had to touch up the ceiling 🙄 what’s the point of taping if it doesn’t help. I have more painting to do so I will go buy some frog tape!!
Ha I hear you! The Green Frog tape is pricey, but at least it works!!
Mine just stopped working after about 5 years. What do you suggest? Do you replace the bulbs? Are there bulbs? LOL
If it’s an LED integrated light fixture you throw away the whole thing and buy a new one 😳 Isn’t technically great?
Is any one available to repair my porch flat roof please
Sorry, I don’t take on those kind of jobs
Hello sir
--------------------------- duck blind ....syndrome
I agree 😂😂
looks like fido's ass
If you make sure to check it every year and cut old out and put new in it works ok lol been like that for 35 years now but nobody ever remember to check it or they just procrastinate it lol
Thank you for watching and your comment 👍🏼🛠️🛠️
The (grid) lines on the back are a nice touch to ensure you cut it straight.
Great observation…I agree with you 😊👍🏼
Inexpensive?? You're considering $10 every foot inexpensive? You could buy a brand new floor and subfloor for that.
I hear you. Hey I wish I invented and patented this product 👍🏼🛠️💰
Great video my friend! I was wondering how you were going to hook them together, I thought they were interlocking at first. Well done!
These get glued down on commercial buildings, but for residential they perform great without. Thanks for the comments 👍🏼😊
@@HomeRapidRepair Nice
Thank you so much never knew to check the back of the smoke detector for the expiration
Glad to help. Thanks for watching 😊🏠
You can better use a fischer duoblade or duotec for these kind of walls. There the best.
I’m not familiar with those names. I’ll be Googling those shortly 👍🏼 Thanks
Wow, I just looked those up. What a great design. People are so smart 👍🏼🛠️🛠️
AUSTRALIA. Brick wall mate!
Congrats. Our houses over here are made of paper 😂
@@HomeRapidRepair 🤣🤣. I know! But it depends who builds ours as to how good the mortar is! Had this problem lots of times!😁Spinning in sand mate.
@@243WW ha…great point 👍🏼
I thought the plugs he showed first were for masonry.
These cheap plastic anchors are referred to as hollow core anchors AND they are given in the installation packages of every product in the world…well almost 😊🛠️
SHITTY VIDEO. YOU DIDN'T EVEN ADDRESS WHY IT STILL BEEPS. YOU JUST SHOWED HOW TO INSTALL IT 🙄
Does it work on windows 😂
Ha. It’s good, but not that good. It works on white vinyl fences
Just ordered-hopefully you receive the commission :)
Or put a dab of epoxy on the red ones...
That sounds like a good idea 👍🏼
Use the sewing thread method for removing the ring.
I’ll have to Google that idea. Thanks for watching 👍🏼😊
The rusty metal is one of the most traditional uses of WD-40. It was originally found while searching for a way of deterring rust and metal corrosion from water (WD = Water Deterrent)
Thanks for watching. Yes that’s what I have always heard too about WD40 although I heard the term was “water displacement”.
And supposedly it was the 40th formulation they tested…
My question is: If we have a gas fueled tankless system, can we add this in the line at the point of use so we don't have to wait for our gas-fueled water to get to the area? Is there a thermal bypass option so it wouldn't have to be in operation once the big supplied hot water arrives?
Yes, you have described a perfect case use. These electric point of use water heaters are best when they are very near the final point of use. Such as right at a bathroom or locker room or kitchen at her mother-in-law suite etc. You would not need a separate cut off device because this electric heater Will only heat the water to a certain temperature boost and that’s it…. Good luck.
Just don't put that crap on your house to begin with. If you have vinyl siding on your house, rip it off and use wood. I like battonboard. Even T-111 type product is much better.
While I like the look of T111… For resale value in my part of the country, it doesn’t perform well…
@HomeRapidRepair Try a little stain or used motor oil? Geeez.
But color mismatched. The rest of all is good.
I’m color blind 😂. Thanks for watching
I've often wondered about these. I thought the whole back would be sticky and I wasn't sure I would be able to remove them later if I wanted to. This way with the sticky tabs is WAY better. You make it look so easy, especially with the cuts. I can measure a million times and I'll still come up short. 🤷🏻♀ Thanks for sharing. I will definitely now consider this an option. Not a cheap investment, but way cheaper than new flooring. 😍
You can do it! Commercial jobs often glue down carpet tiles but residential it’s not needed at all. These hold up great. Good luck. You’ll do great.
If surface your painting is not flat IE ( your surface has a slight texture ) you can caulk edge of tape to prevent bleed through
Thank you for this advice. You did remind me that I saw a video of this like a year ago and yeah, it looked like it turned out awesome with caulk method on a textured surface.
Super informative. Thanks. God bless
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 👍🏼😊
great vid nice tip thanks for share on channel
Thank you so much for watching and your positivity. I appreciate it. 😊
our mobile home has cement board siding...how can we fix it...2000 built
1. Clean the area Remove any loose material around the damaged area without gouging the boards. 2. Apply a patch Use a fiber cement repair kit to create a patch that matches the contours of the board. You can use a putty knife to apply the patch material. 3. Let it dry Allow the patch to dry completely, which can take a few hours or overnight. 4. Sand and smooth Lightly sand the patch to smooth out any rough edges or bumps. 5. Paint Use a paint made for fiber cement siding to match the original color of the siding. If there are multiple cracked boards or boards falling off, you might need to replace the entire siding.
Use this fast set Bondo to patch. It works so good: www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZKQH99B/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_GPXS9EMQE5QR4M3GFZKH?linkCode=ml2&tag=homerapidrepa-20
Just unlocked panel,replace with new panel. 10 min job, probably cost about the same as your patch and paint!!!
I hear you. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍🏼
