    Just a tip when painting doors, insert 4 screws 1 near each corner top and bottom and let those rest on your saw horses, then your able to flip the door and paint both sides at the same time.

    1 1/8” is the magic measurement from the drywall to your cut. The escutcheon and stop will butt up to each other. Also, that speed cutter doesn’t cut the stub outs properly because its soft copper. Those are meant for rigid 👍🏻

    To paint doors, I put 2 screws in the top and bottom edges of the door. Then I can flip the door and paint both sides the same time as the door is resting on the screws not the painted surface. Works great and half’s the painting time.

    Search online for a toilet called a sloan flush mate. They use your water pressure to fill a tank within the tank that expels under pressure. I've used them for 17 years and only replaced one of the three that I have installed. Good luck and great job! Enjoy your videos.

    Very cool! We installed the exact same vinyl planking in our upstairs bathroom 2 years ago. Extremely happy with it. Also installed the silicone toilet gasket. No problems at all. thanks for a trip down memory lane. Yes the measuring and cutting of the flooring around the fixtures is a trip!

    @johnpalmer5131 6 лет назад +1

    Cutting the copper pipe is another good use for your vibrating tool, particularly after scoring with the little round cutter that doesn’t quite finish. Also did not see you reaming out the copper pipes after cutting. This is recommended even when not soldering to reduce water flow restrictions.

Good job of teaching Jesse!

  • @AnotherRM

    It did my heart a power of good seeing Jessie trying to fight back a grin when Alyssa had to admit trimming a floor panel "to the opposite hand". Hi Alyssa - welcome to the club. All of us - people who actually do and make things - have been caught out like that. They say it's good for the soul - "Liars!"
    For those who are still to use a compression fitting on 1/2" copper pipe - a couple of observations. ..
    - after trimming the pipe to length - de-burr the inner edge. That rotating cutter swages the pipe smaller so the bore becomes measurably smaller. Not too critical on larger sized piping but the percentage reduction in bore area on 1/2" is noticeable on low head installations.
    - when installing the fitting onto the pipe - slide on the nut, slide on the olive (age-old name for that "wide wedding ring"), push the fitting onto the pipe - using it to push the olive further onto the pipe - push until the shoulder inside the fitting bottoms against the pipe - now run the nut onto the fitting until it just feathers against the olive, make a mark on the pipe against the nut and withdraw the assembled-but-not-tightened fitting 1/8" to ensure some clearance between the shoulder inside the fitting and the end of the pipe. Now tighten up the nut to "first contact plus half-a-turn".
    That 1/8" withdrawal is the important step in making a non-leaking compression joint - it allows the fitting to move towards the olive when you are tightening the nut - ensuring that both ends of the olive are fully swaged against the pipe.
    cheers all - edi

    It's going to be so great living in your house soon!
    I have counter tops in the apartment where I'm living right now that are also flush with the draw fronts like on your vanity. I have to suggest for the more serious counters and washrooms you avoid that and get counter tops that have an overhang. Like with most modernist design and their fascination of getting rid of useful stuff, an overhang actually has a good purpose. One: to avoid dripping stuff all down the face of your cabinetry, and two: to make it easier to clean and maintain the counter top itself. After living with it for a couple of years I would never ever willfully choose to have flush cut counter tops for anything.

    Actually, the vinyl sheet goods they sell at HD and Lowes is pretty easy to lay down. I first dry fitted by cutting oversize. Layed it down in the room and trimmed it the walls etc. then rolled it back over itself, spread the glue and layed it into the glue.

    Actually you completed 6 tasks in this episode when you add painting and installing the door. A job well done, I’d heard about those silicone toilet rings, but never saw one installed until this video. Great job for both of you. Needing to reinstall some of the flooring is a very common thing for any DIY’er, including my wife and me. That’s another reason why we all buy the 10-15% more material whenever we purchase any construction supply item. You will really feel like you’ve reached a major milestone when all the electrical is completed and you move into the garage. For the winter weather, you may want to consider adding a small enclosed area around the “man-door” so that you don’t lose all your heat when you go out or come in. Think of it as a mini-shelter area or a plastic tent that you walk through to access the door. We’ve done that in some of the homes we built and it can be easily created with scrap lumber and plastic tarps or sheeting.

  • @8Eglock22
    @8Eglock22 6 лет назад

    Just to let you guys know I have had that exact toilet for about 8 or 9 years now. The reason I bought this toilet is because it had a small compact tank, dual flush and a 10 out of 10 flush rating. Have had no issues with it. On the flooring, you should add 5 to 10% for scrap. Depending on the size and shape of the room. If you have minimal cuts, 5%. A lot of cuts, 10%. Or... If you mess up... Lol U guys are great. Love the vids.

  • @gkiferonhs
    @gkiferonhs 6 лет назад

    When doing round cut outs on vinyl do your first several cuts using an awl or scribe. Just a point makes it easy to trace a circle. Once you have a little trough, it helps hold the knife. Or just keep going with the awl and you'll eventually cut through.

    I've done lay down sheet in 3 bathrooms recently. I laid out pieces of rosin paper cutting them to fit all of the walls and cut outs and taped them together making one big piece. I then rolled it up took it into a bigger room laid it down on the piece to cut marked around all of it and cut it. Worked real well.

  • @Buck1954

    Back in the good ol' linoleum days I had to install one for mom, which meant coping out the edges in the garage, bringing it in and carefully unrolling it all into place. My drafting skills came in handy on mapping out one giant piece. Mom's hope was not to splice in any traffic areas. I'm happy to say it was a success!

    Your supposed to put the decorative rings as you call them on first, measure, give yourself some room if the valve fails for cutting and replacement before you tighten the compression ring. Now there is now way to install them without cutting the valve off and starting again. If you cut perfect from the start you could be in for it .

    Fitting and painting doors, I have found it easier to put two screws in the top and bottom of the door and rest these screws on the saw horses to make it easier to turn over the door when painting the other side, these holes will not be seen and can be filled and touched up later. spray paint outside and just carry them inside to dry.

  • @jeffc6832
    @jeffc6832 6 лет назад

    You can buy stainless steel escutcheons that won't corrode. I like to leave a little more pipe in case that valve needs to be replaced in the future. Something to keep in mind as you finish the rest of the house. Luckily you purchased the good quality valves that will last longer though.

    Those toilets that are really noisy have a pressurized tank inside instead of just a gravity fed tank. They used to use less water but your toilet was marked with the 1.28gpf which is really close to the pressure fed toilets.
    The current benefits of a pressurized toilet is no condensation on the water tank. Plus the extra pressure cleans the toilet bowl well each time.

    Tin Snips would have made some of those cuts much easier. The edges look like they should have been given more of a gap (that gets covered by baseboard). As the temperature changes that floor moves more than one might think and if there is no room at the edges the middle will buckle.

  • @garyreedyk8583
    @garyreedyk8583 6 лет назад

    When you spray paint a door next time put 2 nails in the top and 2 in the bottom of edge of door. That way you can let the nails rest on sawhorse and the door will never touch . That way you can spray both sides . You can flip the door by grabbing the nails and flip a door around.
