    I just wanted to share my own personal testimony in reference to oily rags I was working at a friend's house staining his front porch. When I finish the job I placed all the rags in a metal basin then placed everything in the back of my truck, 30 minutes later I needed to return to the truck to retrieve some tools I was very lucky because I arrived just in the nick of time the rags were smoldering with a small flame I was able to grab the basin pitch it out of my truck if it wasn't for the tools I need it my truck would have burned to a crisp
    Oily Rags do catch on fire all by themselves its spontaneous combustion.

    Good idea for smoothing out the ceiling with the drywall compound. But for all that work it takes to get a smooth finish, it's better to just scrape or sand off the original texture. I've worked with the 45min drywall compound and it's very hard and tough to sand. The dust it creates is very fine too and gets everywhere.

    If you’re going to skim over a texture ceiling, not using traditional plaster and instead opting for drywall filler then use a hawk and trowel apply your first coat thickish, use a speed skim / straight edge to flatten that first coat and use the second coat only for imperfections.
    The idea should be to get it flat and smooth, I wouldn’t use 45min filler because ceilings can really be hard to work on and textured ceiling are even worse.

    • @22_floW
      @22_floW 2 года назад

      Late to the game here, but I'd imagine you would hire someone like a concrete leveler in that scenario to inject concrete underneath it--at least, that's how they do it with surface situations. Since you're dealing with footing, that same person or company might need to create a minor underpinning void of some sort to get the concrete in there. Otherwise, it might just be a new section of footing where they just say "screw it" and cut it out to be re-poured, etc. Just my two cents, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Hi, When I was working (a long time ago) we had an emergency generator that worked from coal and because we never used it, we still had to control it. we did this with ten steel tubs that went through the coal and had thermometers at the end and these were checked daily. When the temperature got to 80 C, we had to move the heap of coal to another area thus cooling it down. This is the exact same reason why rags can catch fire as long as the conditions are right. Rags should be thrown away into a metal container with a metal lid on it.

In addition, with our 120VAC power mains, the maximum wattage an electric kettle can draw is about 1500W, which is less than the power of kettles in 240V countries.

    Removing all of that mortar and some of those stones along that basement wall would be something I'd be terrified of doing. I wouldn't think it would take that much to destabilize a wall like that. If you ask me, they were gambling a bit by doing that, but then again, I'm not a mason or someone who has much experience in these things. But I know the horror stories you read about online about people who have walls buckle to collapse, which is often why you see the real basement waterproofing pros talk about engineering tabs when installing basement waterproofing French drains against cold joints. (It's a small tab of slab that they leave intact every X feet to ensure the wall doesn't try to undermine itself when removing the slab for the trenches they make to install the drain pipes.) So, by virtue of basic logic, one would then have reasons to suspect that a wall like the one in this video would be even more prone to collapse given the volatile, non-uniform construction method it was built with. Either way, she did a great job with it. It looks like, but I can't imagine that their work will prevent that water at that spot. For her sake, I hope I'm wrong.
