Hole saw tip: I own both Milwaukee and Lenox hole saws. If you drill a hole too small, the Lenox hole saw pilot bit has extra threads on it. Use the Lenox hole saw in the bigger size and there is enough room on the pilot bit that you can thread the smaller hole saw into the bigger hole saw. Therefore the old hole saw becomes your pilot bit for your new larger hole saw. It looks a bit sketchy to have two hole saws threaded onto the pilot bit, but it works great.
I'm trying to send you a link to another RUclips video to share this with you, but it won't let me. Maybe I should just film this on my channel and share it. Anyway, keep up the good work. I always enjoy your videos.
Awesome video Emily: those Klein wire strippers I have the exact ones to make ur loops in ur striped wire u there r 2 round holes next to the wire gauge slots those round holes r for making perfect loops every time. Just a quick suggestion. Keep up the great videos.😊
The biggest problem I run into is that my clients purchase fans that need a smart switch (included with the fan), but it requires a dedicated neutral. Most clients don't want to pay for a new power feed wire on a dedicated circuit. The other problem I run into is the fan only has one wire coming out of it, so the fan and light come on at the same time no matter how you wire it. Do you have any tips on purchasing a fan so it has two wires coming out if it (one for the fan and one light)? Also, old school analog (no smart switch) fans work better in old houses that don't have a dedicated power feed. The average age of the houses I work on are 80 - 110 years old. I noticed that if I read the box, it promises the functionality I want, but when I get it to the clients house, half the time it does not have two separate wires for the fan and the light. Any tips you have on selecting/purchasing a fan would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work and as always, thank you for sharing.
I may not be much help there because once I find something that works, I tend to install the same thing everywhere. I am mostly working on my own investment properties, so I have that benefit. You don't really have that opportunity if you are doing clients services where they will want to pick their finishes (and they are probably different every time). I would just open the box and check. I guess I've been lucky and not ran into that. I would just open up that junction section and make sure the product has two separate hot wires.
@@YouCanDIYHome How do I transition from client based work to investment properties? I am mentally wired just like you. When I find something that is a practical solution, I like to use it everywhere. On a side note, I have a friend that is getting into section 8 investment properties. I was explaining to him the importance of doing everything the same with all his properties. Basically, I explained to him everything that you recommend.
@@michaelmeans9187 Investing in your first property is always the hardest. I worked three jobs for years and saved every extra dollar I could. I also sold stuff on eBay (not sure if that is very useful anymore). One of the best options if possible is house hacking- have you every heard of the BRRRR strategy? because you can buy as an owner occupant, fix it up, move out, then do it again. If you buy as an owner occupant, you have a lower down payment. Your other option is to save up to by a duplex, triplex, or 4plex, and live in one unit and rent the others. save all the profits until you have enough to invest in the next one.
Good Job!
Thank you!!
Awesome job Emily. Everything we need to know and have some fun at the same time.
@@RichardAdams-p3q thank you!!
