  • I built a simple off-grid DIY outdoor kitchen in my backyard. I laid brick veneer over a wood frame with a German schmear and poured a fast 1-hour concrete countertop using the ‪@MichaelBuilds‬ method. I used solar power from ‪@JackeryInc‬ power my smoker from ‪@TraegerGrills‬ and my 12volt refrigerator. Without plumbing, I had to figure out how to get water to and from the sink as well. I had some hiccups building this outdoor kitchen under my pavilion and it took longer than I expected but I love it! It's Haxman's ultimate tiny smoke shack.

      I'll probably get flack for this comment, but the water draining from the sink isn't full of sewer shit, there won't be much volume, & you're not exactly worried about freezing or you'd have buried the water supply line deeper, so you could've just dug a drain line for it & leeched it into the yard to water it a bit... you could've even used the same trench you had dug; it's not as if you're gonna run massive gallons down that sink daily.

    I was a tile contractor for 30 years. Next time you do a grout job do a heavy sweat. Get your sponge really wet and wipe from side to side so to leave the area really wet. Get most of the grout off leaving the area really wet looking like the surface is sweating. Leave it to dry then come back and rub the dusty surface with a rag or even more clear water. It should come out even and not so cloudy.

    Another trick for getting that wire through the conduit: Use a shop vac to suck a piece of fishing line through the length of tubing. Use the fising line to pull paracord or small diameter rope through, then use the rope (and some Dawn! great tip there) to pull the wire through. Pulling is way easier than pushing.

  • @garyhead1561

    The gray 12-2 you were trying to get in the sealtite is UF wire which is made for direct burial. No conduit needed. I'm not sure about Florida but it's actually against code to run UF in conduit other than in a short run of riser pipe once it exits the ground to protect it from things like weedeaters and things that can nick it. But you have to strip the exterior gray insulation off of the part that runs in the conduit because the outer jacket of UF is the conduit which is why it's against code to run it in conduit because it's considered a conduit inside a conduit which can let heat build up and degrade the wire insulation and eventually cause a short. It probably won't and if it does it will take a long time unless you are constantly running a heavy load on it.

      Correct as far as gray being direct burial. Although not recommended for jacketed in conduit, I'd check on the UF code thing for UF in conduit. For 30 years I thought romex was not allowed in conduit as well. For weeks I still have not found anything in the NEC. But I would truly be more concerned with jacketed in a buried pipe. Also, removing jacket exposing the wire could be bad as the coated wire is not rated for being outside it's jacket in a conduit. Going back to heat, moisture, etc. As far as using conduit short runs to riser and all, legal and recommended for physical protection.
      I was doing a repair job for a customer and an electrician friend and I got to talking about it. He's a master and said he was unaware of the romex in conduit thing. But this was also overhead commercial, not buried. Being only 30 ft and easy, and out of sight, I just removed and put in THHN next size up in PVC conduit to be safe.

I can't remember about romex in conduit being code or not but we used to have a certain inspector that would fail you for romex being piped in in a basement even though it was just a few feet down the wall so we would strip the romex in his jurisdiction. But I think that was just him throwing around his power with the authority of jurisdiction. You can go above and beyond the code but you can't diminish it.

    If you want to take more of that dried mortar off so you can see the brick better you can mix one part muriatic acid to four parts, water, and brush it on with an acid brush and then pressure wash it. Make sure you soak the brick good with clean water before brushing the acid on, and don’t let it stay on there very long or it will turn it a yellowish color

  • @christopherparsons3224
    @christopherparsons3224 День назад

    If you cut back the insulation on one end of the UF cable, exposing the ground wire in the center of the cable (the bare copper), make a small loop and twist it, so that you can push a fish tape through your flexible conduit and hook the fish tape to it, careful to tape up all of the edges of this. Then can pull it through your flexible conduit, while someone feeds the cable into it. Also, going up one more size of flexible conduit will both reduce friction when pulling it in, and also helps to dissipate heat from the cable, which is important if you plan to use the cable continuously with a big load on it (16 amps is the maximum legal load for constant use per NEC, on that 12-2 UF). That conduit is rated for direct burial, but the type of flex with the metal in it, isn't rated for direct burial, unless it shows that it is on the outer jacket or in the paperwork from the manufacturer. That will matter if you have any inspections associated with your project.

  • @msabercr

    There's a pretty nifty trick to feed wire through conduit. You just need a piece of nylon rope and one of those liquor store grocery bags.
    Tie the rope around the plastic bag and then get a heavy duty shop vac to suck the plastic bag through the conduit(make sure to duct tape off the hose to the conduit so not suction escapes).
    The bag makes a perfect seal inside the conduit and pulls that rope through in 2 -3 seconds. Then just tie off the end of the rope to the wire, electrical tape the point where the wire and rope are tied together, and pull through the conduit. If you are worried about the rope untying part way through the conduit as you pull from the output side, make sure to get a helper to apply your dish soap or an actual wire pulling lube to lubricate the wire as its going into the conduit on the input side.

But I digress, add more gravel up to within 6/8” from top of sod line, wrap super heavy duty landscape fabric that will outlast your grandchildren over top, pin it down on both sides, cover with sod. Voila a French dain that someone one days 100 years from now uses to show dummies how it’s done right. I also put In a 12”x 12” box with grate at the beginning so the entire drain line can be checked for root invasion which is the one thing that needs to be taken into consideration when plotting where to install the French drain first. Try to avoid any trees or heavily rooted shrubs that are invasive.

    The "conduit" is actually called seal tight or liquid tight, used for many applications where a flexible but protected wire needs to be such as an outdoor A/C unit etc. Can also be buried as well. Next time fish a string line in the seal tight, tie to UF wire, feed while someone pulls, easy peasy.

    If you didn't already, double check your fridge and maybe the Jackery. Make sure that the 12VDC is actually more efficient. Depending on how the voltage is used internally on the fridge, inverting or converting, it could be more efficient on 120VAC. As for gray water, make sure if you gravel the hole you screen properly. I did a 3x3x3 gravel hole just for sink water at my outside shop without anything else and it slowed down within a year.
    Oh, and I started turning my 20x20 carport into a never-ending outdoor kitchen project last Fall. Complete with natural gas commercial range/griddle/eyes, egg, gas griddle/grill, charcoal grill, and electric smoker to try out. Good times.

    I built a mini grey water drain field for my outdoor grill, which lasted 15 years. Here’s how I did it: I used a 5-gallon bucket buried in the ground, sitting on top of another 5-gallon deep layer of rocks. I lined the hole with cloth to prevent sand from encroaching. I added holes all around the exterior of the bucket before placing it on the bed of rocks. I then filled the bucket and surrounding area with more rocks, covering the cloth.
    To finish, I covered theassembly with about a foot of soil on top of cloth. I installed an overflow drain as a precaution, but it never overflowed during those 15 years.
    A key tip: test your soil for proper drainage first to see how quickly it drains. I also used a J pipe beneath the sink drain to prevent odors from coming back up.

    Use a ShopVac and some cord/rope/heavy string to pull the wire. Put the vac on one end and use it to pull the cord through. Then attach the wire to the cord (duct tape usually works). Now just pull the cord out, the wire comes with it.

  • @nowakjim
    @nowakjim 23 дня назад

    Others have already commented about pushing wires (yeah, painful to watch). But honestly, I thought you were going to take that direct burial-rated Romex you had and... oh, I don't know, bury it! That would have required only pushing about 10 feet of that cable through about 3 feet of flex. I thought the conduit was just to get it inside the cabinet safely.
    But let's not count how many mistakes I will make!
    Love your videos! Where've you been all this time so that I'm just now finding them! I have my own gazebo and kitchen I want to build, and I'm getting so many great ideas from your work.

    Gray water or waste water is the word I think you're looking for. For running LAN cable through conduit, I used a shop vac to pull a plastic shopping bag with a pull string through it. Then attach the pull string to your wire. I used the dawn dish soap on the shopping bag to lubricate the inside as well.

I put the box spring down and it didn’t quite go down. 6in short. What did she say!! . Oops so worried about width forgot the length of the side rails were different for the queen. So now nicer newer side rails.

    17:14 A real easy trick for running cable through conduit is get some string and a disposable plastic shopping bag like what you get at the grocery store. Tie the string to the bag and shape and cut the bag to fit in the conduit without too much resistance. Then just attach a vacuum cleaner to the other end of the conduit and suck the bag through which will pull the string. Bobs your uncle, you can then pull the wiring with the string instead of trying to push it.

    Make sure you eventually use "UF" Romex if you bury it. Or put it in schedule 80 conduit.. Vacuum a string in the pipe if you use conduit to pull with.

    For running wire through conduit connect string to a piece of a plastic bag then stick the plastic bag which is tied to the string in one side of the conduit. Next get out your wet dry vacuum and suck the bag/string through the conduit. It only takes a few seconds so don't suck an extra hundred foot of string through the conduit, ask me how I know. Next just tie/tape the wire to the string and pull it on through. The soap also can be used as well to make it a bit easier.

    If you ever get interested in a video idea. I got a track saw about a year ago. I'm an ignorant fella, so I didn't realize what I did was stupid until it happened. But I tried cutting both along the saw and *backwards*, the blade caught the track and actually flew at my torso. Luckily I was wearing a thick leather apron, but yeah. Learned a valuable lesson that either I'm really crap and holding something straight or the saw is only safe in a pushing motion.
    Regardless, your advice before on getting a track saw has been clutch. I really like it when I'm using it wisely and not nearly winning a Darwin award.
