Gotta support the "Biggest Handyman RUclips Channel in the entire world!"
Love how you guys cut down on the weekend DIY guys getting by.
There are also us out here that roll our eyes and rework contractor installations.
Nothing worse than “professional “ hacks.
Could also be said for new construction.
@@OlRubberNuts must be cheaper to pay off the inspector 😅
Hard to take advice from someone running an angle grinder with NO eye protection...
@@armslength2618not only that, but he also has a cordless drill, flashlight and car. There's no way that 12v car battery can compare to 480v 80a to power his truck.
I'm beginning to think osha and/or insurance companies hired tons of shills to point out petty safety concerns on RUclips. There's no way this many people who have obviously never worked a day in there life care so much about this!
Thanks to everyone that clicks that like button before even watching. Here is the link to the fancy screwdriver amzn.to/3uvnZPq the light is on sale now amzn.to/413kPyV
We just like living on the edge Handy!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
13:00 My uncle once explained to me that notching a load-bearing member (e.g., a floor joist) weakens it, since it's effectively a narrower board at that point; while drilling a hole near the middle has little to no effect on its strength.
The dust!!! My eyes are burning just watching.
Watching this video on DIY mistakes was both shocking and informative. The dangerous errors in the house made me realize the importance of doing things right the first time. It's a must-watch for anyone attempting home improvements to avoid common pitfalls.
As a French Canadian, my father's diy consisted of duct tape, dilaptiated plastic tarps, random screws and nails, rocks, rotted firewood, paper towels (for sealing gaps/insulation) masking tape, and plastic shopping bags...
I think that about sums up his materials list 🤔
His brother (my uncle) did electrical and plumbing...
No license or anything, he just had the nerve to give it a go...
So yeh, my folks house was a complete mess...
And my father felt maintenance was just a way for companies to screw you out of money,
... and he knew better than to fall for that scam. 🤦
Haven’t seen that pirate mug in awhile! Great work!!
LOL you got me with the explosion hahaha.
Working over my head like this is probably my least favorite thing. Just misery.
If you heat those old pipe joints with torch they break open easier
man. 2 minutes in. You said black wire or the black wire and snip, and the explosion scared me lol
That electrical work was most likely done by a professional. The standards in the 1960s was different. My guess is the connection in that box were done witn old school copper crimp connectors. They were commonly used by professionals with either friction tape or electrical tape. Any old house will /can have wires connected like that.
black wire or black wire .. JERK made my heart skip 5 beats as I jumped in my recliner lol
How dare you disparage DIYers!😂
This house isn't a can of worms,
... it's the whole bucket
House of horrors or house of treasure? Great video Handy! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. HandyOn
Lmao. All my bathrooms and closets had a hole in the drywall and the wire pushed thru. No junction boxes at all. 😅😅😅
The Milwaukee M18 dual power tower is a magnificent work light, it deploys in under a minute and with its extension range allows glare free lighting from behind over your head. The self expanding base is rock solid and self stows in under a minute. The light level is also very good. I have seen if for around $180 bare tool and under $200 with two 5 ah batteries and charger. Unfortunately it is not free. As they bay buy once.
I would love to work with someone with vast knowledge you have
The explosion cracked me up 😂
this looked like a ton of fun
Crazy man tears apart a hose one piece at a time.
I bet they used fibafoose all over the place too!! 🤣
Safety squints in full effect!
1:35 What water pump??? What is the water pump for?
Its a boiler. The heat comes from hot water. The water needs to be pumped to all the radiators in the house.
Safer and easier to tear it down and build new. All that potential asbestos and shoddy electrical and plastic water pipe with all the broken valves is scary.
That floor tile and upper ceiling looks like it may contain asbestos
Amazing how much time you waste in demolition.
I make up for it in youtube MONEY.
I'll be your Huckleberry.
Needs more smoke detector!
the hypocrisy in the title ... isn't a handyman just a licensed/unlicensed DIY'r
I enjoyed this video. Goodbye.
Blah blah bla
Looks like the infamous 9x9 floor tile too you better get the mustard and bread for asbestos sandwiches
Been there.
A previous owner installed a ceiling fan on an outside pergola that was between my hot tub and pool. The fan was grounded to the metal box, the box was connected to the house with plastic conduit. 😳
The box on the house had a half dozen ground wires bundled together doing NOTHING. The installer was too lazy to run a ground wire through the conduit.
The previous owner of my house installed a ceiling fan in the garage. There is 2 wire lamp cord coming out of it, run along the ceiling and plugged into an outlet. There is no ground and I’m willing to bet no electrical box either. We haven’t used it ever.
Oh the travesty and near tragedy narrowly avoided until now. I FEEL SAFE NOW! Thank you Handy!
Nice! Wearing your come and get it caulk gun shirt right now! Love it!
I’m glad those paint stir sticks holding up the gas pipe were painted the proper green. If they were orange it would have been a code violation.
I thought my house was bad. And it is. But thanks for making me feel better about my crap situation buddy.
I see you’ve finally updated your angle grinder from that ole classic brushed De-Walt that’s you’ve been using for years
The upgrade took place a few years ago.
Idk, looks like a lot of that DIY was actually done with love, just could have been done a little better.
As a Florida GC - God save your soul and the patience to take on said project buddy....
Why is CPVC so common in FL? Almost every community being built today is using it. I know it has some benefits with being able to but burried in concrete slabs which is nice here, but if its so brittle, that seems like a bad idea.
DIYers ruined almost every house in Vermont because there’s no contractors license here so every contractor is a DIYer.
I'm sorry but a license for anything is re-tar-did. What grown man needs another grown man's permission to do anything? Slaves not men do. 🐑. In 1933 FDR unconstitutionally got rid of the gold standard sold the US out tk the banking mafia printing out counterfeit currency. The banks decided the US was to operate under Uniform Commercial Code, aka admirality law and not constitutional aka common law. Meaning what ever the captain of the ship (judge) say goes, that's the law, admirality law is the worst law. Sheeple wake up, there's a cult of treasonous child abusers indoctrinating your children into perpetuating this illegal debt slavery
Reminds me of my honeymoon! (1:26)
Check out this project ruclips.net/video/OyoRq0Y1Jug/видео.html
Use a sled and boat winch to pull that boiler out. I have used that set up to move large gun safes with little effort.
10:26 Who wants to be the Handyman’s helper?? Looks like that job went to Mr. Werner.… at least for this episode. I’ve watched enough Handyman to know Mr. Sig is the daily helper.
Was I printing in this video? I'm so comfortable with it on I sometimes forget to leave it in the truck.
That aluminum sheet seemed really important. I hope you replace it.
You almost seem disappointed about no mouse turds.
Many of my DYI mistakea were because I used cheap made in China tools from Harbor Freight!❤❤😂
You would love to see the electrical work I have done in my garage!
I love this video. I grew up in a house from the 50s that looks just like what you’re working on. Right down to the non-working water meter and the exact same tile on the floor. I grew up there and cut my teeth on trade skills trying to remodel it over my high school years. Too funny!!
When I bought my 1979 house in 2008 and tore out my 20x15 ft, laundry room ceiling drywall..every 4x8 sheet was literally covered with mouse poop and piss, obviously had an infestation at some point..was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen and had to clean up in my life!!
Heyooooo!
I like vevor junk…I mean stuff. I bought a flux core welder or it’s a rice cooker, either way it welds great.
Hahaha…. SPIDER!!! Little girl reactions, hahaha!!! Laughed harder every time I rewound it….
Happy Thanksgiving to your family!!!
They have a bunch of junk...priceless 😅
Question - Every time you whistle, it's the same tune. What song is that? The handyman jingle?
I can't remember. I will try to pay attention tomorrow.
I really like seeing how DIYer mess things up. Because as a total cheapskate who prefers to do almost all work himself, I like to know what mistakes to avoid.
Hopefully those pipes you were cutting with your electric wheel grinder weren’t old gas pipes, most people even licensed plumbers think because a gas pipe is dead that it’s ok to cut with electric tools/battery the truth is that there’s still residual gas that can be sucked into the electric motor and cause body injuries. Luv your vids, stay safe👍
He explained in a prior video. It's water line.
I removed a cap on a gas line that had been dormant for 35+ years, started second guessing myself when I got the whiff of natural gas.
@@leestebbins5051 believe me I worked in the gas industry for 48 yrs seen plenty of so called experts lose fingers due to rolling the dice sometimes you win sometimes you lose. You were smart enough to take the cap off 👍most just start cutting away with their sawzall 💥
Wire is older than the 1960's
Those old cast-iron boilers are a pain in the ass usually a 2-man job to get out of a basement, they do make motorized moving carts that can climb stairs. You could lay some planks down on the stair treads and use a winch to get the boiler to the ground level.
Handyman, I'm sneezing just watching this. But you better believe I'd have my squirt top bottle of Djon Mustard by my side in the mustard holster in this home.
The whole video was just too much anxiety and memories of me dealing with old infrastructure. Whole place should be demoed back to studs. Otherwise, just tear it down.
PPE 🥽
Please!
16:04 oh dear jesus asbestos tiles, run for your life handyman!!!!
That’s not a house. That’s a nightmare.
You should consider buying a bandsaw. I just got one and i use it all the time instead of the sawzall and grinder now. It was a great investment and i wish i got one earlier.
I have one but its corded. I need to get a battery powered one.
I'm from NYC and you are absolutely correct on not being able to use plastic piping due to rats.
PEX is not allowed (only allowed for heating), PVC DWV is not allowed (except for single family homes), and Romex is also banned (except for single family homes).
Yep, all cast iron with millions of Ferncos because nobody wants to do lead and oakum anymore.
is everything run in mc cable?
@@sythshowedu Yes. BX is found in old homes
Since pex is not allowed, do they even sell pex there?
@@SupaChinido Yeah they still sell it at Home Depot. None of the supply houses i know of carry it
Wow, that's some awful and ugly work. Don't know what they were thinking.
and i go up in my attic and see how the air handler and ducting was installed by "Pro's" and its worse than anything here.
as an electrician, your video effects when you cut the wire legitamately made me jump!
House looks like it was built between 1940 and 1960.
I actually jumped a little when you cut the black wire, or is it the red wire! Ha ha 😮
Wow handyman what a overwealming job this is going to be!
I like that desk
‘I’ll snap it with my teeth’ hahaha
👍👍😎✌️🤟👏👏👏👏👏
Spider!
The union wasn't frozen it was the weight ,pretty common. Heat it up. . Why would you make a chase it would be a waste of time. You just drill holes in the joist and rerun the wire. to sister the should be interesting to watch a fellow handyman. Have you ever built houses from ground up. ?
I have built several hundred houses and a few dozen buildings. A few grocery stores, rec centers. Midrise buildings. I worked as superintendent and project manager for the largest construct company in the USA when I got out of college.
I don't like turning joists in to swiss cheese.
😂😂😂
Looks like you need a plumber and an electrician. Good luck.
The handyman is a licensed electrician, and can sure as hell stop a leak, hes covered 100%
I'm missing the link for the screwdriver I'm blind.
I found it! 😅
🤣 Most “professionals” ruin everything they touch these days.
that's why you gotta hire overpriced union outfits. if you want overbudget, behind schedule 6 guys standing around 1 guy working
I love your attitude and realism. You're a good man Handyman. America needs you. Handyman 2024!!!!!
I don't understand why you would replace an excellent heating source, o
( Hot Water) with forced air. I have lived with steam, hot water, electric baseboard, and forced air. The best to worse, for comfort even heat. Hot water, steam, electric, then forced air. The only real advantage to forced air is you can have ac in the same system. Electric base board resistant heat is way too expensive. Steam's advantage is you get some humility from the system. Not much but enough. You don't get that from hot water.
Future central ac
@@TheHandyman1 i couldn't give up the better heat. I would put in a stand alone cooling system maybe a heat pump . For spring and fall. I really wish my current house had hot water heat.
I call those electrical terminations fingers. Tape fingers.
The "handyman' that lived in that house is haunting it. You're rippin out all his crafty and fine work......lol PS that cloth covered romex is from the late 40's or mid '50's. The house I grew up in had wire like that. And some junction boxes made of metal. And some junctions made of.....friction tape. Yes, a whole roll of tape wadded around several wires all twisted together. Wire nuts?? What the hell are those?
we all know the handyman laughs in the face of danger, but... I kinda cringed when you were using that angle grinder, throwing sparks, and absolutely no eye protection. But a great video nonetheless!
Wha that a led light or did you just bare hand an a hot incandescent ?
Its an old incandescent bulb.
@@TheHandyman1 all those asbestos sandwiches must toughen your hands
Those hydrotherm boilers were absolute junk even when they were brand new.
Paint stir sticks supporting gas pipe...up to code....lmao😂
My neighbor's house is full DIY mistakes. 😊
Having the right tools to do the job makes life easier.
🇺🇸🤘 Heck Yeah Handy Dandy 🤘🇺🇸
# 1 channel in all the land.
I bought a 1950s house 🏡 as my first. Learned more about electricity, plumbing & framing then I ever wanted to. Should have hired contractors & apprenticed during the renovation & got my licenses, lol 😂
Id take a house framed in the 50s over any framed today. today's houses framed by the lowest bidder with cheapest lumber contractor can get hands on, to as minimal code as possible
