@travb6926 Thanks for the comment. In my opinion, premixing might have some minor benefits, but with the amount of water that is being sucked in by the pump, all the dry DE will naturally become mixed in the pipe as it travels to the filter. It seems to me to be an unnecessary step.

@tanias9702 I used "playground sand" from Home Depot. Good luck with your project!

@njpyrogirl29 Thank you for this important tip! I've pinned your content to the top of these comments, hoping that many people will see it and NOT do what I did in the video. I'll make sure to purchase and use approved screws from this point forward. 👍

@surferdude642 Good question. I guess I'm of the opinion that just because something is permissible, it's not always advisable. Due to the filaments in GFCIs being so sensitive, I'd rather have a 20 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit to reduce the possibility of a callback and it's only a few dollars difference in price.

@@fixitfoxinc Generally speaking, your opinion is obviously agreeable. However, all GFCI receptacles are at minimum rated to be residential/commercial spec grade devices and there is no difference internally between 15 or 20 amp GFCI's that are of the same grade and features. Features, meaning TR and/or WR rated for example. The same thing applies to regular receptacles that are not residential grade. Just an FYI.

@surferdude642 hmmm, good to know! Maybe I'll save myself a couple bucks next time and buy a 15 amp GFCI. So, do they just make 20 amp GFCIs to make money off uninformed non-electricians like myself, or are there applications where 20 amp GFCIs are actually recommended?

@@fixitfoxinc The only time a 20 amp receptacle receptacle is required is on a 20 amp individual branch circuit aka a dedicated circuit and then it must be a single receptacle, not a duplex. NEC 210.21(b)(1). You can find more usage of 20 amp duplex receptacles in commercial and industrial applications, it's just common trade practice as they can get them wholesale for a cheap price. 20 amp receptacles are not commonly used in dwelling units unless the homeowner requests it or changes them him or her self. In rental property such as rental homes, apartments, and condos you are better off with 15 amp receptacles because they will not allow a 20 amp plug to be used, in the unlikely event that someone tries to.

@surferdude642 Thank you very much for the education. I recall being told by the electrical guy at Home Depot once that you should always use a 20 amp GFCI on a 20 amp circuit cuz a 15 amp GFCI wasn't going to be strong enough. Guess we both could have used your help! Thanks again!!

@happyluvspen15s19 Typically, I'll just take them to the metal recycling place.

@dmech5135 Great idea! You would just have to make sure it was a paintable type of caulk in case the home owner ever wanted to update the exterior paint color.

@theruless4079 Great! I'm glad you found it helpful! Check out my latest video. It's another disposal installation, just a different model: ruclips.net/video/9jMZzYiYkCs/видео.htmlsi=z3OpW6PJgJmLWTr0

@erickrhernandez1451 I've never had those troubles myself. Maybe someone else in the messages can help?

Thank you, sir!😊

Woah didn’t know about this trick! Awesome 🙌🏽 Love that no extra hardware is needed.

​@MandaPanda780 thanks! I appreciate the comment.😊

@@zilbermandean I was giving away all my secrets on this one! Ha ha. Thanks for commenting. 😃

@@Rob-w5m yeah, all those tasks were done in one day, but they were all pretty simple jobs. The hardest part was making sure I purchased all the right supplies at the hardware store prior to arriving on site!

@timforseth1558 I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for leaving a comment!!

That's not the correct way for these cardboard doors. Did you watch the video? The door is hallow. If you plane too far, you have to buy a new door. 😉

But then there would be no plug left - how is that the "correct" way?

I know! But ya gotta do what the client wants. 😅

@@scrappydog7741 don’t be lazy.

@@fixitfoxinc True and well done on the repair.

@@scrappydog7741 thank you!

@scrappydog7741 let's be nice. 🙂 I'm sure the comment was meant to be humorous.

I know! But ya gotta do what the client wants. 😅 This approach is pretty easy, though; it only took 20 minutes - and that included the time it took to film it. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try it next time.

Thank you, sir!

@marcocarvalho3881 This was my first video, I'm glad it's still helping people - even as far away as Brazil! 🇧🇷

@neilmerlino6475 Every market will generate different prices, but in my market, I currently charge about $950 plus materials to paint the ceiling; sand and paint the crown moulding, window trim, and baseboards; and apply two coats of paint to the walls. Extra charges are also added for patching holes and cracks, applying texture, etc. A smaller room would be less, a larger room would be more.

@@fixitfoxinc Wow, that's great money!!! I'm getting ready to start my own thing soon, which is why I was curious.

@@neilmerlino6475 Awesome! Good luck!

@neilmerlino6475 Personally, I like using Homax, but I haven't seen a Homax knockdown texture product for sale yet, so I use the Hamilton product when I need to do knockdown texture over a patch. It works OK, but the largest knockdown spots you can make are only about the size of a pea. Too small to match most of the knockdown texture patterns that are found in my area.

Thanks for the tip

Thank you! Fun to learn I'm being watched internationally!

I love this suggestion!! Truth be told, I have on occasion found that I've cut off something with an angle, so I'm going to remember this tip. I'll probably give you credit for the idea in a future video!

Props to Olivia! 😉

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. 😃

@@fixitfoxinc your welcome I like how you explain everything before you do it

@@dennispuleo9575 Cool! Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to keep doing that.

😃

Wow! Thanks for the terrific compliment. Good luck with your project!

🤣🤣🤣

Glad it helped! I'm not sure why some people backwash either. From what I've been taught, backwashing is really hard on the filter grids, so I just never do it.

Thank you! Let me know if you want some help. The two of us could knock it out quickly.

Yeah, it turned out pretty nice. Thanks!

Lol! So satisfying. 😃

Yeah, I couldn't believe his steady hand and on target from a big large mouth bass mouth to a goldfish mouth and didn't spill one drop!

@@PappyNet01 I got lucky that time!

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice

Awesome, I'm glad the video helped!

Terrific! Glad it helped!!

Well, it will depend upon the region you're in and how many gaps you have to fill, but I'd count on two days of the going labor rate plus about $350 in materials.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 😃

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that product.

I hope it goes well!

If you can get a vice grip on it, spin it out and install a large lag screw in its place.

Awesome! So glad the video was helpful. Good luck with your project!!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you appreciated the video, I hope it helped.

You're welcome! I've gotta give credit to my daughter for crawling under the sink with me to get those shots. 👍

It's different for every pool, but this one needs to be cleaned every six months. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge, when it gets up in the 20 PSI range it's time to clean it.

@@Medero1959 thanks for commenting!

Glad it helped!

Thanks for your feedback! I'm not sure if the original molding rotted or not. It was removed prior to me being called. As I recall though, I think some framing work had been done and the framers didn't know where to get replacement stucco molding - or even what to do with it if they found it! Painting all four sides of the sub-trim would certainly provide an extra layer of protection but I'm not sure it would be necessary if the exposed areas were painted, kept in good condition, and the edges sealed well with exterior grade caulk. But hey, if you've got the time and the inclination, why not?!
