As a carpenter I agree with you that you just need to either know the person or trust them which only comes by feeling them out. Sometimes jobs like that can blow up in your face if they have no idea what's they're up against. Love the clips it feels like I'm working with you.
I cant help but think any amount of force at the top of those posts would rip those brackets right out of the floor. Interesting vid though, thank you for the info.
Beat you to it! lol. Thanks for the response. You're a good man.
It looks great. Waiting for part 2.
I had a magnetic bit holder that would constantly leave the bit in the fastener I was driving. Tossed it and bought the Milwaukee brand from Home Depot. I highly recommend it. Retrieving the bit from the fastener and reinstalling it every time is super annoying. I didn’t realize I was doing it until someone pointed it out to me. Might save you “a bit” of time on the job.
Not being critical, this will turn out great. I do think you should consider to clear coat those handrails for two reasons: Reason 1- Galvanizing is toxic you aren't really meant to be touching those. Nobody in their right mind uses these for water supply anymore(its only where it pre-exists). I have a feeling they are going to give you black hands using them. Black iron wouldn't have been toxic but would still turn your hands black. Reason 2- with use the silvery galvanizing will wear off and look unsightly, with a clear coat will preserve the look as they did when installed. I think they would look incredible chromed but that may be cost prohibitive. Anyways everyone's a RUclips expert. I do exactly what you do here where I live. Have learned a few things from your videos, especially the business related content. Learned I definitely don't charge enough lol. Thank you for your wonderful content.
I really enjoy your videos, there very informative. Will you be adding any fixing to the first post you installed other than re lying on silicone to attach it to the wall? I feel there is some leverage to be had if any pressure was placed at the top of the post, ie kids leaning/climbing on it (I know they shouldn't, but it happens)
No. large chunks of the wall will have to be ripped for the post to move.
A true crafty counselor very nice work thank you.
holy crap, I am scared of heights. They make my head spin. I would cringe in fear every time the camera or you wnet close to the edge. Haha. Clearly I couldn't do this put props to you!
I feel that same way. My body literally was pulling away from the screen when he was near the edge.
Me too! I was hoping I wasn't the only one 😂
I freakin love this channel thanks for sharing all these great videos!
what is that drill bit thingy? I need that in my life
Looks like Stella didn't appreciate nap time being interrupted (LOL). Great job.
I did some racks (pot/pans over island) and shelves in my kitchen. The joints and couplings are expensive 😜
Be careful about removing a drill bit by reversing the drill instead of loosening the chuck by hand. I watched my buddy do that and as the bit was dropping out, the chuck caught it and threw it back at him. Had to drive him to the hospital to get stitches on his eye lid.
Hey brother,
You mentioned you don’t take credit cards? Is there a reason? I own a mobile business and use square to collect credit card payment. I always just ad the fee in the cost of the job so I do lose on the income.
Or you could give them the option and inform them there is a “convenience fee” to use a card.
Let me know. Just curious.
Not that I have ever had a problem collecting payment. If someone wanted to take their payment back they can do so if they paid with a CC.
I have taken Paypal a few times from customers I trust.
why not use liquid nails under the post...would that hold / bond more strongly or just loose its bond with a slight push and then just be a mess ??? just doesnt look like a solid design...but nice work on your part..........fyi some people want that swine pig fence wire.....its like 3-4 squares made with really thick galvanized wire...........very airy and visual....
Great job keeping your location hidden. I hope you Continue in your diligence.... #Wisdom
Jesuslover Lover for
and stella is adorable
why do you not use a workmate type workbench to assemble the supports so that you don't have to sit on the floor? it's better for your back and your knees...
What type of flooring is that? Is it just a red oak?
This was not how to build a water pipe railing, it was how to install a few posts.
smart businessman!
It's looking great. Can't wait for part 2!
Ha ha...hey Stella chill out it's okay. Funny.
How do you keep your knees from hurting when standing up? After kneeling/squatting my knees just pop and creak
It happens. I space out my jobs that are hard on the knees. My shoulders are my biggest problem.
Thank you for the video.Referrals referrals(That’s the best way to do the business
Best tool for cutting pipe amzn.to/2HzWKdt
Where’s your magnetic wrist band? Those work pretty good when you have a bunch of screws unless they are Stainless!
Go big brother! This is awesome!
Good advice...
What's up with that big block on the right?
Great video! Been watching your channel for a while. Just a quick question. Do you ever do larger renovations or do you enjoy sticking with the smaller handyman type projects. I do both but lately I’ve been accepting more whole house renos. There’s times that an extra hand would really help but I still can’t justify the added expense of an employee. Just curious. Thanks!
I mostly do large renovations. The small stuff is what I have time to edit and put on youtube. As I'm getting older I'm feeling my joint pain a lot more. Starting this year I'm only taking on 6 or 7 larger projects. I have never had an employee since I went self employed. I was a superintendent building houses and condos before that. Managing people in this industry is like baby sitting.
The Handyman Still fairly new to the game so luckily no joint pain yet! I’ve been fortunate enough to be fully booked enough to be able to pick and choose my jobs and am not sure how I can grow without employees. I agree, the bar is set super low. I would be happy just to have someone show up on time and do what they say they are going to do. Would love a q&a series. Thanks !
don't take on "on the book" employee per se. Hire subcontractors, whoever works for you must bill you independently. then you aren't responsible for their taxes, insurance, training, ect,ect. and if they don't perform, much easier to fire lol
My Tax Man always says the way to make the big money is off other peoples backs. I agree for the most part but could never make that jump.
august I don’t mark up any of my subs invoices. Some contractors do but not me. That doesn’t sit well with me ethically.
Ugh, bait and switch with the preview image ;) Can't wait for part 2! I want to do something similar for my shop loft.
@10:00 was that the best looking side of that post to expose? is that a big chunk missing out of the corner of it? around midway up it facing the living room side? looks like it was hit with the forklift at the HD lol
No way to see it form the living room 11 feet up in the air.
The Handyman you’re right probably too high to scrutinize, but I think you’ll see it upstairs because of lack of pickets. I would have turned it to face the wall unless the other faces were just as bad or worse?
Please can you make a discussion video talking about your experience with customers refusing payment. If you had any. I have been running my business since 2013 and this year we are taking a customer to small claims court for the first time ever
Its never happen to me. I can talk about why it hasn't ever happen.
@@TheHandyman1 yes please!
So you don't have Square or stripe to enable you to accept CC? you can surely roll that into a fee if they pay with them. I'm an engineer and do technical work on the side and accept CC. I don't accept checks.
Cash or checks only.
In my opinion I never ever do work that’s not to code! God forbid something happens it’s gonna be your ass on the line and I don’t need lawsuits or to go to prison! I’m to cute for jail 😞😁
100% wrong. Do you have a business attorney on retainer. Ask him.
Yes sir I do.. New York does not play around when it comes to building codes anymore. I was sued for the first time and last time in my life 8 years ago. After that if it’s not code I don’t do the work
Yup #hotbeardedguy
Poor Stella!
I need more videos please
Our code is 4-3/8" sphere on stairs
What's that strange drillbit at 12:14?
amzn.to/2HAfRUN Self centering drill bit it drills a pilot hole in the center of a hole.
Their dog is not happy with the noise your drill is making.
This video made me nervous....LoL
Are those ugly post brackets going to be left exposed like that or covered? Guess this is for part 2
Part 2 will show.
None of my co-workers live near me, so I can't ask them. My neighbors are all in the trades themselves and do their own work -- the one is adding a room onto his house with just a few buddies helping him even as I write -- so I can't ask them either. (I have no intention of hiring my neighbors. The one adding a room is a semi-retired HVAC guy and keeps offering to do little jobs for free. It's embarrassing, particularly when he uses his own stock of materials.)
We do have a kind of referral service, and the last time I hired their guy I guess he was OK. But I feel like he took his time at the beginning of the job and then rushed it at the end. I'd rather someone who was more efficient all around. Plus, I have possibly improperly installed laminate flooring on a staircase, and he didn't seem to know much about it either way, so I don't feel comfortable hiring him to deal with it.
That's kind of a tough situation. You could see if you have the next door app in your area. Or a similar app. Trial and error is sometimes the only way.
On reg customers sometimes I let them buy the materials when they want to save money on them but I still charge a premium price for my work and do not guarantee their materials, I'm a HVAC contractor as my main line of work and I get people wanting me to install used or units bought online I charge them accordingly and tell them upfront/in writing that most online a/c purchases do not come with a reg warranty like contractor bought ones and if they call me for warranty work I will charge them full price, bad enough a/c distributers treat us like lepers when trying to warranty anything much less an online purchase, I'll get laughed out of the building for online warranty stuff. Wonder why you do not take c/c's, I use Square some of the time and just uncharge the svc fee.
Dang dude. Your impact is noisy.

I use the RIDGID stealth force. Twice the torque and 1/4 the noise.
smokingcheeba420 what makes you think the RIDGID won't last?
Noconz0727 Ridged has come a long way in the last few years with their cordless tools. 10 years ago they were know as home owner grade tools that no contractor could depend on for day to day use. I had a full set 10 years ago. I ended up selling them all for DeWalts. I use use RIDGID tools and I still burn them up. A good warranty helps when returning them.

Really, a ad at 2:20 on a video that is over 16 minutes? SMH
I could add some more if you like.
The Handyman You can put all the ads you want. I don't know if you get to choose the time points they jump in but sometimes it's really early.
RUclips is suppose to put them in the best spots. I don't select the amount or the placement. I can add to what you tube does but I never do.
The Handyman I understand. I thought the person who ran the channel had control over how many ads per video to a degree.
