    How Bricks Are Made
    Mark McCullough explains how bricks are made and what makes them unique.
    Mark explains that he loves a variety of bricks for different functions and purposes, and they’re sourced naturally from all different parts of the country and the world. When looking for bricks, a brickyard or a stone masonry yard is the best place to look.
    Expert assistance with this segment was provided by the Spaulding Brick Company [spauldingbrick...].
    How to Fit Copper Pipes
    Richard Tretheway shows host Kevin O’Connor several methods for making solid, watertight connections, both with solder and without.
    How to Install Shingles on a Shed
    Tom Silva shows a homeowner the proper way to reshingle an old shed’s roof.
    Tom replaced the roof shingles with GAF Royal Sovereign Charcoal Algae Resistant 3-Tab Roofing Shingles [thd.co/3o1rhTY]. He also added GAF FeltBuster 1000 sq. ft. Synthetic Roofing Underlayment Roll. Both of these products are manufactured by GAF [www.gaf.com/en-us].

    As always, great information. One suggestion about the ridge caps. A good friend and long-time roofer who has helped me install several 3-tab roofs (roof replacements and additions) recommends that the cuts on the ridge caps be tapered inwards slightly so the caps lie flatter.

    I've used the push connect fittings a few times and had good luck. My main concern is the price. For what those things cost if you're doing a good size job you're better off buying a compression tool. Then you'll always have it

    Just had a plumber redo my kitchen sink. I needed help as there were some old work issues that I didn't experience with, otherwise, I've done sinks before. When it came time to reassemble the water supply, the plumber didn't even have a pipe cooker (torch) or solder. He used all solder-less connections. I asked him why. He said his company had too many fires start on jobs in the past so they no longer allowed their installers to use fire. An exception might have been made for assemblies done outside, then moved in. Otherwise, no fire in the house.

    • @danielstokoe6564
      @danielstokoe6564 7 месяцев назад +1

      I'm from UK i.e not familiar with us building code but Im in the trade and tbh insulation should do just that (insulate) the build should be structurally sound regardless of the type of insulation. This is just my opinion obviously my friend from over the pond, but will more than likely be seconded by anyone in the construction trade !

  • @notanetbanger
    @notanetbanger 8 месяцев назад

    The only reason I wouldn't see soldering going away is bc there's no plastic to worry about degrading over time. They all have their time and place to use. I wouldn't leave a push to connect fitting outside in direct sunlight or the elements bc I'd be lucky to get 5-10 years rather than the 20+ ik I'll get with solder.
    Inside, where the copper is protected from the elements, I can easily see those press fittings chillin a cool 40+ years

    You know why the shark bite connections aren't favored by plumbers? They don't fail often, you can do it yourself and not need a plumber with their expensive tools, and that means less time for them to work which means less $$$

    • @DonariaRegia
      @DonariaRegia 8 месяцев назад

      Just don't use them inside a closed wall or it will fail code compliance. Only use them for exposed plumbing.

    • @DonariaRegia
      @DonariaRegia 8 месяцев назад

      @Navy1977 It's not worth the risk when any imperfection put in the pipe by the installer can eventually fail. Better to rent a crimping tool.

    when this old house started out in the early 80s i thought it was about the average man's house, blue collar the average man that works for a living, of coarse i may be wrong. but now you do fluff videos for the upper crust that usually pays for someone else to do the work for them, and this maybe is what you people want to see with the show ,and thats fine but im a bit disappointed i feel the show has drifted off a little of its original goal.

    • @edd2771
      @edd2771 8 месяцев назад +4

      Show is still full of how to’s and DIY advice. But for those who can’t or don’t want to do their own work, or want work beyond their own capabilities, the program shows: a) what is possible with todays products and technology and B) what a job properly done looks like. This is valuable info. And Tommy often uses hand tools vs specialty tools when demonstrating repairs on ask this old house. Show had to evolve, and it’s evolving responsibly.

      @peterstone8701 8 месяцев назад +1

      That roof was wrong on so many different levels it’s not even funny. The basic concept was close but wow. I get that it’s just a shed, but please don’t do your roof that way. It WILL leak.
      1: drip edge goes tight to prevent wind shear (snug, don’t crank on it.)
      2: one nail in top corner of ea piece of drip edge to hold it in place (ideally subsequent piece on long stretches use one nail for the 1.5” overlap, and snip the lower kick out to length for a flush fit.)
      3: cut tabs off of three tabs for starter course at top of straight line in key way (leave rounded portion, you’ll see why in a second)
      4: shingle overhang should be 3/8 or 1/4 in. 1/2 in droops in heat and not only looks ugly when it does, but catches the wind and causes wind shear and shingle tear off.
      5: utilizing the layout given in video (adjust as needed for length of roof so you don’t have tiny strips) (ice and water goes on first if being utilized, whereas felt or underlayment goes over bottom drip edge to bottom rib in drip edge; if you wanna go crazy you can lay a SMALL bead of roof cement to bed the felt into. Miter your drip corners and don’t leave holes on the corners!) Utilizing the small rounds in starter course, put one nail on either side just above tar line. This is known as “storm nailing”. Do the same with a starter course along your rake edges. This prevents wind shear. *drip edge and rake starter go OVER underlayment on rake edges. Your roof starters are now storm nailed at roughly 2” in from the edge. Aka: “hurricane proofed”. **nothing is truly hurricane proof, but this gives you a fighting shot.
      ~ there’s more, but this is a really good start and should make for a solid roof.

      @edd2771 8 месяцев назад +2

      @@peterstone8701 The job was perfectly adequate and competent for a shed. The boston area is not hurricane central. I did my own shed exactly that way ten years ago and it has NEVER leaked. We get it, you are (or were) a roofer. We are very impressed with the knowledge. That doesn't mean there was anything wrong with what was presented here. And BTW, Tom Silva has probably built more entire houses than you've roofed, so just relax.

    One thing I can't stand is when a host is constantly trying to look smart by naming things or pointing out things a split second before the presenter have a chance to finish what he's demonstrating. Not only is it disruptive, no one cares how much you know about the subject you aren't the one presenting it. Let the person you brought on to speak speak.
