    Little tip for the insulation. To keep it from getting it in your skin or pores. Put baby powder on your arms and exposed areas. It will plug your pores and keep it out.

    Haynes makes a blended cotton t-shirt with a pocket and I really like in the heat. It has a longer body that hides the butt crack when you are under the sink. : )
    In fact, I just bought 4 more at Wal-mart today for $6.72 each. Well worth it.
    In the summer, I wear light grey ones, and in the winter I wear black. You gotta work with the season's sun radiation, not against it.

    I forgot to lock that on a tow bar with an old 3/4 ton 'good times' van behind my 1/2 ton pickup. I was pulling it on a turn with the chains and the tow bar dug into the dirt perpendicular to the ground and the front of the van was suspended in the air. So glad it happened before I left the land and not going down the highway. I left trailer jacks down twice.

    I use to be a big Leatherman Wave guy. I have two so when one broke I could send it in for warranty and use the backup.
    Then, I gave the Gerber Center drive a try. It replaced the Wave. You should try it out. The biggest deal was, it takes regular bits, the knife is one handed without opening like the wave. The pliers can fling out one handed as well and are spring loaded.

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  6 лет назад

      I like it. Its missing some tools that I have to have though. Do you know what kind of steel the main blade is made out of? I need scissors, saw, and the most important one is a pocket clip. I have a gerber where the pliers shoot out of it. I liked that feature and it took some getting use to switching to the leatherman.

    • @AequitasSaints
      @AequitasSaints 6 лет назад

      The Handyman 420HC steel. I do miss the scissors. The saw I never really used. I wear it on my belt in the holder so I never cared for the pocket clip. In my pocket I keep a Milwaukee flip open razor blade.

But best items i wear day to day working lawncare in the Hot swamp ass weather is the new "DuluthFlex Dry on the Fly Cargo Pants" Extremely thin, And feel great, Feels like im not wearing much.... I also wear their " CoolMax Performance Longtail T" shirts I get longtail (3-4 Inches longer then all other shirts) just so i can keep them tucked in.... And either "Armachillo Cooling Boxer Briefs" which cause a little humidity, But keep your junk cool, Or the "Men's Extra Long Buck Naked Boxer Briefs" which feels like you're wearing nothing, I get extra long so my fat ass thighs don't rub together.
    Anyways theres the best clothing in the world...
    They are expensive and i have to give up my left nut to afford it, But their "No bull guarantee" you can send it back when ever, For any reason at all.

    OMG , that blue .... Do you see many rentals this color ( or similar Bad colors ) where you are .
    Rent must be v-e-r-y low to get ( most ) tenants in.
    I understand the ...tape off what doesn't get painted and spray Everything with one color/sheen style of " Rental " painting , I don't like it , but I understand it . But that blue is way too much , then the carpet etc .... hey any chance they even have that old style matching Blue tub, toilet, and sink ? :-)
    I've been involved with our family owned rentals for 35 yrs , ( down to just 3 4-plexes now ) , and one of the most important things .is to keep the colors basically neutral . Doesn't mean they have to be boring though .
    Yes , it's a business first , but it's also the tenant's HOME , and that's the way we approach it .
    The " its just a rental " mentality , is something I try to stay away from . Buying the cheapest toilet , taps ,tiles , fridge/stoves etc. saves money up front , but very likely will cost you more in the end , not to mention , went You treat it as a Rental , so do the tenants .
    And if the tenant is reminded everyday that this is just an average generic rental , they are always going to be looking for something better .
    our average tennant stays for about 10 years .
    Those wall anchors you use ( I call them " corkscrew mollies " ) are certianly the way to go , but I'll only buy the metal ones.

    • @TheHandyman1
      @TheHandyman1  6 лет назад +2

      It is best practice to have a microwave on a dedicated circuit. Most microwaves in use are NOT on a dedicated circuit. If I was doing a kitchen remodel I would try to run a new circuit. If I was just retrofitting a microwave I would tap into another 20 amp circuit. I get wood blades for about a dollar each. Look for a video about that tool and where I get the blades. It should be out in about a week.

    Just mark the Chinese solicitations as spam and ignore them. They don't merit a response.

      Well I told one tonight I will make them a video if they pay me $2000 and they said they would check and get back to me. I may be doing a video on a $50 Chinese electric screw driver in the near future. Ha Ha Ha

      Good luck! I admit I'll be surprised if it turns out they're willing to pay enough to make it worth your while.

    I cringe every time you handle that insulation with your bare hands. Did that as a teenager a few times and each time it felt like I had a million splinters stuck in my hands for hours.

    Beginning of the video looks like your driving in an old shitty video game.

    I think anyone who's used a lot of cheap tools knows that Chinese junk is extremely common.

    You can’t just say no to the Chinese people or just do passive aggressive on RUclips
