Paul and Jordan, it was a pleasure making the mud room seat cabinet and doors for you! Y'all do great work, and I'm proud to say I had a (very) small hand in the project! For those reading this, the too large doors were my fault, not Paul's, although I appreciate him trying to take ownership, because that's what a good contractor does! Anytime you need something, all you need to do is say the word, and I got you! This one turned out great! Paul, it's difficult to be a ghost when you leave your DNA imbedded in the cement... Just saying...
Tip for installing/repairing ceiling fans - throw down a drop cloth or old sheet. You *will* drop a screw, and they have an uncanny ability to vanish before they hit the floor.
I like listening to you guys while I work in the office. Your positivity is a breath of fresh air. The family angle is also heart warming. Well done, fellas!
This dude cut the hubs of his pvc fittings in half to do a toilet under a slab like 15 videos ago i present you with example number one of shitty workmanship/laziness
@@cameronbouchard8265 My house is full of lazy shortcuts. It was a big teardown, remodel. Everything looks/ works fine after 20 yrs. If you can't see it, and nothing is harmed, it never happened. 😆
Video quality is amazing with the new camera! I just started watching as I am a new homeowner with no home improvement experience and a punchlist video like this for small details is so helpful. Thanks for creating this type of content!
During my remodel, made a couple nice transitions from Red Oak, from an oak tree I took down, cut on my saw mill, ran through my planer, and made with router ,table saw, and belt sander. Plus, custom Red Oak floor vent registers. 20 yrs later, they look like new.
I really enjoy your videos, nice to see that there are contractor's out there doing the job right!!! I would like to see how you adjust hinges on cabinet doors and slides on drawers. Keep up the good work and keep new videos coming!! Thanks!
2:01 Another option is getting a RF extender and RF remote (some remotes have RF built in already and need to be turned on; example…. direcTV remotes can be IF/RF enabled whichever want; or can go Bluetooth like roku etc….). Just other options for you and don’t cost as much as you’d think☺️ Great vid, and loved that remodel project, like all of em you and Jordan Do👍🏻😊
Quick tip on pouring concrete in those little areas so there isn't so much clean-up... Tape a piece of cardboard up to the edge of where your pouring and on the other edge of cardboard, bend it down, creating a slope😉
The true position door jig is an awesome tool that probably saved me the cost in labor after 2-3 installs. No matter what size handle the customer picks or where they want it placed the jig is fast and doesn’t move it’s set points. There is also an extension kit available if you ever need to center up on a bigger door and any replacement parts if you lose one piece. The only improvements I did was I put it in a small toolbox with Kaisen foam to protect it.
I like the concrete in-fill at the French doors. I've done a similar repair but used a piece of hardwood (maple) as the threshold trim as it will withstand foot scuffs better than soft pine. I'm wondering if the removed and remaining wood rot is a symptom of a larger exterior water ponding problem that needs addressing?
On the 2 end doors adjacent to the wall. consider putting hinge restrictors in one hinge on each door. If you don't the handle will hilt the wall eventually denting it. The restrictors are only a few cents each. I'm not sure if they are available for the brand of hinge used there. The restrictors prevent the door from opening up to less than 90 degrees. Those look like clip on hinges so to remove them pull up or depress the lever at the rear of the hinge.
Another great video! I also love my jab saw (would like a cordless one next) and emergency boxes of old things salvaged. Have saved me over the years. BTW, 2" blue tape on the tile, doors, & windows before leveling will save you a ton of time doing clean up... and if the door stop isn't a hardwood, then it's not too bad to use a dense unpainted PVC... can clean it with rubbing alcohol (or a 1:4 mix of Dawn & Chlorox) & never need to paint it.
I love the rapid set line of products. For a true hydraulic cement they make one called water stop. I’ve use that to fix leaks in basement walls. They also have another product called one pass that acts and works just like hot mud for drywall but also contains concrete. As far as that jig for the cabinets, IKEA has a plastic template jig that works great. And it only cost a couple bucks. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.
Couldn't tell you guys which video I found you via, however, I've been binge watching as time allows! Apprecaite very much the energy you guys are bringing. The insight and knowledge is much appreciated! Hope to learn more about future options I have available to me for projects in my future!
Those extra doors would look nice made in to wall art. Maybe one as a wall coat rack, just some hooks mounted in the center. I’ve been watching your channel for awhile now. Love your videos!
I worked at a lodge years ago in northern Ontario and had to paint about 40 windows in the main building. Each window had 6 pieces of glass with wood mullions... I was dreading all the detailed taping that it required. Anyways, rather than using masking tape (painter's tape didn't exist then) I followed the lodge owner's directions and after putting down drop cloths brushed a bit of mineral oil on the glass - well, mostly on the glass ;-) Back then (1978) almost all paints were oil-based so, I didn't have to be crazy careful as the light coating of mineral oil would just mix with and thin the paint a bit. Next day I cleaned the glass using a 1-1/2" flexible putty knife wrapped in a piece of paper towel.
Nice finish work. Surprised the handles in the cabinets are brass. Nickel seems much more modern. Also, you guys deserve more subscribers. Videos by guys going out into the woods and getting cards that have been sitting for 15 years to start have almost 700,000 subscribers. Crazy!
I see a lot of similarities' in our work ethics and attention to detail, I enjoy your channel, thank you for all the great tips and tricks. Keep them coming.
I love the door handle jig. I bought one a few years ago and have found it very useful and easy to use. My recommendation to prevent blowout is to drill halfway and pull the drill bit out to clear the shavings and then again around 3/4 of the way, pull out bit to clear shavings and then punch through. I rarely have a blowout this way. Love the videos. Keep ‘em coming.
I enjoyed this video(I also enjoy all your videos), but I where is the next video where you finish this project, I was looking but I could not find a part 2? I think both of you do a great job on explaining so many things in detail that we all want to know and what so many other RUclips videos fail to explain or show. thanks again for all your videos you produce.
Hi Paul. Hi Jordan. Love watching your videos. Did some binge watching the last couple of weeks. It was painful watching you try to pour that thin set in that tiny crag. I have a suggestion. Next time you need to do something like this, use a gallon plastic bag. Like the one you use to store your orange wedge spacers. Fill the bag 1/2 to 3/4 and push the material to one corner. You will need enough plastic bag to hold on to. Twist the opening close to make it air tight. When you are ready to fill the space cut the corner off and insert it in the space until it bottoms out. Gently squeeze and move back and away from the starting point. You will be able to use a thicker consistency since you are not pouring it in. Watch a cake decorator fill and use a decorating bag. Same principle. Less mess, less clean up. You guys are great and fun to watch. Lita
suggestion, with your new hardware jig, just use it to "mark" (just drill a divot) your doors and drawers with your drill bit! no need to drill all the way through and possibility screw up the bearings ( it will last forever ) my first one (jig) is at least 25 years old and still mint!. Then come back and drill all the door/drawers (with a block)
I was remodeling a bunch of apartments and got rid of all the old fans and saved the pull chains, kept them for years Findley through them out and needed one a couple months later go figure. Thanks for the video
The new ones you buy in the home center these days are all from China, made from high quality Chinesium so they are certain to break in no time flat. So salvaging from older equipment is a good idea.
So, I thought this was going to be a video about how no matter how good of a job you do, sometimes people will never be able to be happy. I guess that is the opposite of what went on :-) well done guys!
Great idea on the runner in the drawer. I actually did this in the drawers of my tool box to keep tools from sliding around when opening the drawer. Great channel you guys have really grown since early videos. (Your more entertaining)
With that rapid set if you use hot water and your dry material is hot from sitting in the sun it will kick off extremely fast. One way to gain working time is keeping the rapid set in the shade but also use ice cold water. If you have a large area to work the ice water really helps.
Where I am in Ct. hydraulic cement is super fast setting and for wet and underwater repairs, mixed in small batches. A little different then your situation.
With regard to templates, years ago I was specializing in custom door installations. This particular door was Teak with large stained glass panel. The last step was to install the lockset which came with a template for four different models. I did the brain fart thing and drilled the hole to attach the bottom of the "pitcher handle" using the location for the wrong model set, which this one required a through hole. So the hole was roughly 2 inches off. On a $ 3000.oo door and it was open to the great room which went all the way to the back of the house. I showed the wife my error and asked if she would object to me trying to repair the hole. She said okay, but would need husband to approve before I leave. Took me about an hour, but when the husband looked, he asked me where the problem is. When I pointed to it, he was shocked that he could not see it and gave me his blessing to install. WHEW !! I did not want to have to buy them another door.
@@greghight954 No way to have done it with bondo or any other wood filler as this was a stained mahogany door. I drove a maple dowel through, then used a butterfly bit to make a shallow flat hole over that, then carefully created two pieces of veneer from the drop from cutting the bottom of the door. Selected a portion that would match the grain on the door, then used a plug cutter to make them to size then glued them in place turning them to match the grain. Let set for a bit then brushed over the areas with same varnish as was used to finish the door at the shop. Pretty much invisible. You have to know where to look and be at just the right angle to see it in the light.
Cool channel guys, I just came across it the other day and Ive watched a bunch of videos already. Always a fun vibe but never too long or dragged out, a lot of great ideas and quality work. I really get a kick out of blending being a camera man /son and show host asking the important questions followed by "ok thanks Mom, lets go check in on what Dads doing". I just laugh to myself knowing that 90% of the time if that's was me and my father it would be great but I can just hear the "Scott..put the damn camera down and give me a hand after any issues 😂
I’m sure they are. I bought one at Sears a long time ago, looks like a Lisle number LIS52000. We used them as a car mechanic all the time to scrape inspection stickers off car windshields.
After the old wood was removed from under the French doors and everything vacuumed up it appeared that there was a fair amount of water/moisture damage or deterioration to the remaining wood frame. Wouldn't it have helped to have applied a generous amount liquid wood hardener to help slow further deterioration? It looks like it won't be too long before that whole wall/door system will be very shakey due to the bottom losing it's "locking power" from further deterioration. Maybe I'm wrong. Just wondering.
What type of paint was used for spraying those last minute cabinet doors that you installed? They look great. Trying to find a good quality sprayable cabinet paint here in California that works good for cabinets in our rentals. Latex just never seems to dry/cure fast enough and give us that rock hard finish the better non-California compliant paints can do.
Regarding the ceiling fan. If the fan’s canopy at the ceiling is large enough, there are controllers that can be installed in there to have the fan be controlled by a remote. Might be better than the pull chains; those are made in China these days and tend to fail in some way in a short time.
I am impressed with the kit of small electrical parts. Even more impressed that you had it with you in the truck! lol
Paul and Jordan, it was a pleasure making the mud room seat cabinet and doors for you! Y'all do great work, and I'm proud to say I had a (very) small hand in the project!

Tip for installing/repairing ceiling fans - throw down a drop cloth or old sheet. You *will* drop a screw, and they have an uncanny ability to vanish before they hit the floor.
So true
Haha! I was just installing a ceiling fan yesterday and did that exact thing. Always pays off to keep your job site clean!
They showed that when they installed the fans in this house.
I let my customers clean my mess
TRUEST STATEMENT EVER
Unscrewing bulbs to turn the light out made me laugh out loud. Good job guys!
New camera's video and sound is great! 👍
Last touches is always time consuming.. Great to see mom helping.. 😉
Nice bonus, Stud Son caught Stud Mom pitching in,
we love your whole family!
Cool, new camera.
The close-ups are great.

The way you go along with your son is awesome
Congratulations
And very very professional

They have a limit stop you can put into the cup hinge instead of a bumper.
It's a small plastic clip you dont see at all after its installed.

Excellent as always
Great video as always. Loved the cameo by Mom :-)
Just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the easy to understand videos!
Why not tape off the tile before putting down the cement to make cleanup easier?
I would have gone slightly thicker with that mix too, that was runnier than self leveling compound!

Do you have any suggestionns / tricks on how to balance a fan that wobbles at low or medium speeds?
For trim in this sort of application where it’s bound to get kicked and wet, I like to use a non wood piece of trim.
mmmmm....4K.....soooo good.
aw i thought they didnt like your work and got kicked out thas funny great video !
Mama Stud Pack!
GOOOOOOO Stud Pack. Thanks
I always keep screws & knobs
@2:08 Hey now...this is a family friendly show, Jordan.😂
Never saw a scraper like “mom” had. Is that on Amazon??
I’m sure they are. I bought one at Sears a long time ago, looks like a Lisle number LIS52000. We used them as a car mechanic all the time to scrape inspection stickers off car windshields.
Seem them in the paint aisle at home centers.

Trying to find a good quality sprayable cabinet paint here in California that works good for cabinets in our rentals. Latex just never seems to dry/cure fast enough and give us that rock hard finish the better non-California compliant paints can do.
It’s Behr from Home Depot
Email us and I’ll try to get the exact paint name
Regarding the ceiling fan.
If the fan’s canopy at the ceiling is large enough, there are controllers that can be installed in there to have the fan be controlled by a remote. Might be better than the pull chains; those are made in China these days and tend to fail in some way in a short time.
