In this video, I have bad access to a few areas, which causes me to make bad judgements. In the end, it's all going to be fine and it's fixable. But small things like this will happen, and they are recoverable! Thank you to all who support me and watch my channel!
My speakers I'm using are below
amzn.to/35MFCua
amzn.to/3jTqC2R
amzn.to/3ei1kdh
amzn.to/3ecgX69
Speaker Wire: amzn.to/3kqzVHM
Hindsight tip-
When you poke your hanger, poke where you want the center. Come down 4" and bend it 90°. Push it in and spin it around. That'll give you 8" clearance. And an
inch if you want for good measure.
Ahhh!! Smart! I will mention that in my next video, that would save a lot of time, thanks!
Great tip!
Having to do a little spackle and paint is nothing. When I read the title I thought you hit a wire. Now that would be a problem. Spackle and paint is trivial :) Great video as always.
According to my wife it was a big deal!! :) But it shouldn't have happened, I usually would not make this mistake. Oh well, it happens, Thanks for watching
A good stud finder would save you a ton of trouble. Check out the Franklin Prosensor T13 on Amazon. It’s the best stud finder known to man.
I will have to check this out, thank you!
All part of the learning process. Thanks for sharing with us.
mans needs a stud finder
Not following "measure twice cut once" has gotten the best out of all of us.
Don't sweat it. I stepped through mine once after slipping off of a rafter. Good times. -- Maybe next you could install mesh wireless? Just a thought. I have some experience with Plume, Ubiquity and Meru/Fortinet. Mesh is a nice upgrade to multi-levels, although I still do wired Ethernet for some things.
I actually do hard wired ubiquiti, I have one of the ubiquiti in wall access points in my living room which is very wide open, and then I've got a unifi HD wave2 in my basement. I really don't have any dead spots between these 2
@@TheKMZ1 Right on. I was thinking that it's just different enough to be a neat video series and it seemed up your alley. My internet was all good until all of my neighbors got mondo transmitters through Spectrum. Mesh seemed to help. -- Another idea might be HDMI over CAT6 to your porch for a second TV to compliment your multi zone audio. Could be great for football parties whenever people are comfortable doing those again.
We have prewired ceiling speakers but switches are not on now. I think we need to buy amplifier but I don’t know how to connect it to prewired speakers and switches. Any help will be appreciated
I think we’ve all been there mate and cut wrong holes. Still looking good, keep up the good work
Thanks!
I hit a stud in my dinning room when installing ceiling speakers, mine was allot worse as I had cut almost all the way around before I realised, ended up with quite a big hole to fill, but these things happen
Yes, luckily I started on the side with the stud. If I had started on the opposite side, I would have had 75% of the hole cut at least, so I could have been in bigger trouble!!
@@TheKMZ1 I ended up having to staple a mesh to the joist and then plaster on to it.
I laughed my ass off when your wife started to reiterate the * What to do* along with her shaking her head in disapproval of the initial install. 🤣
Meanwhile Kaiden is just super chill and calm. 👍
*Don’t worry honey I’ll fix it* 😎
Having done thousands of commercial installs the adage of a wood cutter measure twice cut once is the golden rule. But, can tell you there have been hundreds of times where after doing so mistakes were still made due to uncommon building practices, schematics not being accurate, to people installing hidden devices and wiring and not following best practices for routing their wires. 🤢
On a separate tangent I don’t know where you live but noticed your home doesn’t have any vapour barrier?!? 🤔 Lastly, please insure you take the time to even out all the insulation up there. As your past videos show lots of spots that are uneven or have very little insulation. ☝️🍺
Great series keep them coming! ✌️
We don't really use vapor barrier in Kansas. So, with blown in insulation if you smash it down as I have walking through it doing this work, does it matter if you need to re-fluff it again? Because in a way, now it's jus compacted and dense, whereas before it's not dense. So i'm curious if that matters or not? Thanks for the comment!
TheKMZ1 The best you can do right now is to insure you evenly spread the insulation throughout the attic space. When time and finances permit have more blown in.
Spending money on doing this will pay for itself forever. As it will reduce heating and cooling needs throughout the year. I also noticed there were lots of cracks and holes in various parts of the attic space. So take the time to seal those area with caulk, HVAC tape, and fire caulk where needed.
Condensation is the number one killer to wood. As this allows mould to grow and spread. This not only causes the wood to rot but directly impacts air quality to the occupants.
The attic space should have no less than R40 of insulation - more is better! 👍 Lastly, the insulation needs to be kept away from the vents around the perimeter of the attic space. As proper air flow will reduce heat stacking in summer months and condensation during winter months. 🍺
Have you noticed any issues with that blown-in insulation vibrating into the back of the speaker? I'm going to be doing our home soon and I was wondering if I needed to create a barrier between the speaker and the loose blown-in insulation.
I've not noticed any issues no. I've read up about that and the condensed is that it doesn't cause any issues. But you can use something like a shower cap to put on the back if you want to keep it out. But me I'm just throwing the insulation back over it, I think it's fine
