Just a reminder before you Sheetrock your place, don’t forget to place steel plates where you have drain pipe or vent pipe inside the studded walls. I know this from experience and dealing with a massive leakage after screwing into one of the drain pipes. Up in VT we didn’t need an inspection so I found this out the hard way.
YES YES YES!!!!
We prepped our floor and then just painted it with concrete floor paint. Inexpensive way to go.
When using your hole saw drag a candle on the cutting edge then try using your holesaw it helps lubricate it
Butterfield Color Clearguard is the best concrete sealer ever! Used 1,000 times. Originally used for stamped concrete, I've used it on regular, stamped, concrete countertops! soaks in deep, won't peel...
Hi Fellow youtubers!! If moisture is getting through the damp proof course into your concrete, sealing the top will lock that moisture in, in warm weather the moisture will evaporate and cause bubbles in whatever you sealed it with.... but a coating will keep the dust down as long as its dry on application... That's how we do it in Scotland, have a nice day and God bless!!
Marty,
Pro tip when drilling thru wood like that, use your body up against the drill so that it won’t yank your arm out! Kinda like leveraging...hope this helps, or use a T handle to get good grip!!!
DIY Plumbing. We’re trying! 😊
Watching you guys do pretty much everything yourselves, gives me hope whenever I pull the trigger and build an off-grid life myself. ❤
For the garage floor you could use epoxy floor sealer, it`s used a lot in car repair shops or machine shops. It prevents moisture coming up, and oil staining your floor. It also makes it easy to clean the floor with a squeegee. You apply it by pouring it on the floor, and smoothing it out.
It's also the same things that supermarkets and TV studios use!
In FL where we have support shallow water tables, we use 2-3 coats of redgaurd if you're laying flooring over it. If you want a sealer that's a finish product, tuf-top premium concrete stain sealer solvent based.
Oooohh.... Cliffhanger! 😊
Hello! Your wife has such a beautiful smile and you have such a wonderful wife and whom you may rely in your good times and bad times and two wonderful children who were very down to earth. Really appreciates for your hard work and I pray for you all good health ,prosperity and success for what ever you under take .
May all sentient beings be free from samsara and flourish compassion. From Tibet.
😊
Plumbing. Extremely satisfying when it's all done. Equally vexing until that point. Good luck!
Definatly appreciate the build videos guys. Besides inspiring it's very educational
I did the drain lines and indoor for my cabin by myself . No experience! It so far has been the hardest thing I’ve done! I see why plumbers make so much money! 😂
It looked to me like the cap was weak and the gauge was not working, but I really have no clue. 🤣
Every time y'all cut one of those circles into the wood I picture Tux playing with them. He sure loved them last year.
He did! 😆
From the UK I used a proprietary concrete floor hardener and sealer which prevents the surface dusting for my workshop. Later I painted it with a floor paint. 20 years later its marked with hard use. It sweeps up easily and does not absorb any liquids.
I sealed my garage floor with the garage floor paint from Lowe’s and it has held up for the most part. Where the tires are placed has worn off a little. I painted it 4 years ago.
I think you are a great Plumber already, even if you make some mistakes. Great job! If there's a problem, you'll fix it. No problem.
Epoxy floor paint for the garage. I used it in my garage back in the US, and it worked well. It not only provides another water barrier, but it also makes cleanup much easier.
Glad to see all clean outs many plumbers seem to leave these out.
Martin you are a professional with the plumbing nicely done
Martin, coatings for concrete can be challenging, putting the vapor barrier in was a great 1st step. The next step is to assure good adhesion and that means making the surface rougher similar to 100 grit sand paper. This can be accomplished mechanically or with a chemical. Once that is completed a product like Insl-x (a Benjamin Moore product) Hot Trax or Garage Guard would be great choices. Both are designed to withstand the parking of hot tires and not peel up.
Thomson water seal, put it on with a roller, buy 5 gal. at a time.
have done that before. works quite well. just make sure concrete is really clean before you apply it.
I've used epoxy flooring and is very durable
I absolutely look forward to seeing your videos. The content and editing is top notch. And of course, your skills are off the chart. Always a pleasure. From Suffolk, VA.
Thanks! 😊
You guys are making what we call here in Texas a roundtoit... So now you can say you have got some roundtoits!!
There's a special liquid that you can put in a 20" high or so hand pump container to spray at least two coats on the garage floor. We did that with our triple car garage and it did wonders to preserve the floor. I can't remember the name of the spray liquid but hubby just told me he got it at Home Depot. Go online or call them and tell them it's new concrete sealant. You will want to put on SEVERAL Coats ok? It worked for sure.
On the kitchen vent you have a horizontal vent below the flood line. It should come up on the side of the sink & have the drain go horizontal. I made that same mistake on my first house & had to do it over.
Your plumbing looks good from where I'm sitting, hope it all passes without a problem. :)
Epoxy floor paint to seal the floor. Benny is you can make it any color and even add color speckles to it.
Thomson’s Water Seal for the floor sealer.👍
Beautiful video, wonderful editing, great background jams, and super tutorial...coming from another fledgling homesteader!!!!! Good job guys...
Can’t thank you enough for sharing this process. Best wishes and keep the content coming👍
Here in South east Idaho a licensed plumber must do the work unless it is your own house. we are hooked to the City sewer and it gets complicated. The plumber has to put in a "back water valve " to keep the sewer from backing up into the basement, we are moving a 70's house on to the farm to rent out. 4 1/2 baths 5 bedrooms plus office. too nice a house for them to crush and send to a landfill.
My suggestion for floor sealant is Sodium silicate or Waterglass as it´s also called. I have seen it on the floor of a heavy dusty shop. where they repaired 62 ton tanks.
Hard work
Basement wall sealer that prevents moister entering the basement would be a good moister guard on the garage floor.
Looks like you have this plumbing thing figured out, crossing my fingers that you pass the inspection on the first go.
Thanks. Me too.
I've never regretted using epoxy on the garage floors - always DIY. A little more money but the water based stuff will come up the first time you turn your wheels when they're wet.
You can seal the surface of the floor with either epoxy paint or some concrete sealer which makes the surface waterproof.
I've always used enamel paint for concrete floors. There is clear coat to for it
I personally like to set the hose bibs up high for the washer and dryer. It's much easier to disconnect the water hoses and clean the filters.the old school building used to always put them just off the ground
Ugggh. DIY plumbing. Poor Jeromy has redone our bathroom so many times I can’t keep track 😂
Looking good. Thanks for sharing.
I'm loving the daddy jokes 😂, 😊👍💕💕💕
Get a pour on floor kit, that you can stain with color and a sealer.
Leggari epoxy is about the best I've used. It's a beautiful, durable, lifetime sealant. And binds perfectly with concrete! Oh, and cleaning is a squeegee and done. Not to mention it self levels any flaws in the concrete. Just a thought.
Grey roll on with black n white glitter specs would look good
When you do put the hole and pipe through the roof make sure to put a vent cap on to prevent rain and snow from going down the pipe.
Home Depot should have some sealant options. Thompson water seal skould work... think about the slip aspect, some paints can be slippery in snow country and if you go cheap... probably plan on doing it again someday, thats just the way it works out usually.
Good work for this channel 😇👍👍🤗
i like that you are wearing a demolitia t-shirt.
Really enjoyed your videos over the last few weeks. Finally caught up with your current one and I'm now up to date. What a wonderful family you all are. working together for your dream. Many congratulations from Cumberland, England.
Dustin.
P. S. The Google Earth shot of your property still just shows the slab for the main cabin.
I would only seal the floor for appearance. Small holes in your barrier won't matter. Plus if you really had a moisture problem you'd be sealing it in.
Martin you never cut a floor joist. You weaken the joist.. you will have strength it before it get bad... Thank you for listening.
You build looks good.
To seal the floor I suggest linseed oil with a citrus based thinner.
Your hole saw is catching because the drill speed is too low.
I’m a retired Engineering and General building contractor Ca. Pretty stringent codes here if you run into any problems let me know maybe I can help I don’t charge I’ve had my run
There is no codes or inspections in N ID (outside of city limits) except for septic.
@@jeffreyhogan9583 Wrong, UPC is every where.
@@rickhuntling7338 sorry I should have been more specific. There are no building code inspections or standards here. County isn’t going to show up with the fluorescent spray paint to check the square of your corners or the drop of your pipe.
@@jeffreyhogan9583 We'll see.
You may or may not have forgotten the metal plates that go over the stud penetrations.
Put 1/2" plywood on each side for 24" of the damaged area. Put screws every 4" across each runner and cross member. Stagger the screws from each side. This is enough to reinforce this area. If you had cut fully through the rafter, you would be replacing it. But since you have 3/4 of the rafter header left, you can reinforce easily.
I would use "QUIKRETE Cure and Seal 128-fl oz Acrylic Masonry Sealer for Concrete" which I have used for sealing on some of my aircrete projects. It is easy to apply with brush or garden sprayer and is only about $26/gallon.
I would seal the garage floor to protect it from the top NOT protect it from moisture coming up from below. If you think the slab is going to take on water you will want it to dry and not seal it. If you are worried about moisture take steps to get the water away from the house. Also concrete dries "fully" at about 1 month per inch. Don't seal it before it is fully cured. Good Luck.
You can use a 2" x 4" stud wall for plumbing as long as the plumbing waste or vent line is not 3" in diameter, which comes from the water closet plumbing. And in a bathroom, the vanity and tub plumbing usually ties into the water closet plumbing. It's the water closet plumbing that dictates having a 2" x 6" stud wall. In a laundry room, you only need a 2" x 4" stud wall, because the plumbing lines are no more than apprx. 2" diameter. The only reason why you would go with a 2" x 6" stud wall in the laundry room is if you are going to run the dryer vent vertical through that wall and out through the roof or to another location higher up. Also, if you have any 3" diameter plumbing lines running through the laundry room wall area from above or below, then of course you would use a 2" x 6" stud wall; or maybe if you put a water closet in the laundry room. In my house, the wall is 2" x 4" with the water closet plumbing. It makes it real tough to get the drywall to work in that area, which is the whole reason why one would recommend a 2" x 6" stud wall in the first place.
I was going to say hot pink epoxy resin for the floor covering but then you said inexpensive so I think that's out. Maybe a really durable hot pink floor paint. :)
that sawdust, once sifted of the trash, will go good for your chickens.
good video. thanks.
Sealing the concrete is to keep liquids from penetrating the surface not to keep moisture from moving up from the ground to the surface. If moisture is coming up through, you will have difficulty with the coatings you apply to the surface.
I don't know about relative costs, but I have seen many videos where regular people apply some rather good looking epoxy finishes to their garage floors. You can use all sort of color patterns too if you wanted.
2 pack industrial flooring, etch the floor with hydrochloric acid then use a 2 pack flooring paint.(used in automotive workshops) Good thing is if anything is spilt on the flooring it can be cleaned easily.
I didn’t see anything you did wrong myself.. and I like the idea of clear drain pipe
A self primer 1 part epoxy paint starts at $30.00 a gallon(Drylok brand) or $156.00 for 5 gallons and a 2 part Epoxy Premium (Rust -Oleum Epoxy Shield ) for a 90 ounce is starting at $105.00 this is on the Home Depot website I have used both before and the 1 part looks very nice I have a friend that is Real Estate agent and he has had me do a few for him. in the garages. It can get up in price if you want fancy colors
Try pumping the hole saw in and out, it will clean the teeth and stop catching
I suggest you search concrete sealant reviews and watch some videos of people applying to see what you like and pick up any tips. The one i watch looked like a lot of steps and expensive but it was in there house and they use a product that left a wet look since that's what they had throughout their house.
On the concrete floor, they have a product you spray on or roll on to seal the top. There are other products you squeegee on there, a little thicker and have different color pigments. Hey, it's a garage floor it's going to wet in winter with slush. If you have a leftover waste pipe, cut two pieces about two foot long, fill one full of dirt, the other leave empty. Now with a wood handle hammer tap on the full one, then the empty one, tell the difference of the sound. On that floor truss, would have moved the toilet over more for proper clearance, not cut into the truss. You may have issues with the inspection. Put a drop ceiling where the pluming is, in the future if you have issues it will be easy to get at to fix. You know there has to be a slight pitch on all waste pipe, mite be 1/4 inch per ten feet. Don't cut any holes in the roof yet, until the pipe is checked for leaks, called a stack pressure check.
Like your channel. First time commenting. Just an FYI which you may already know...most reciprocating saws allow you to install the blade upside down for those pesky low clearance cuts like right next to the floor. Keep up the awesome work. Its fun to see your progress. God bless.
For concrete sealer I recommend: “5-Gal. SX5000 WB DOT Approved Water Based Silane Siloxane Penetrating Concrete Sealer” thru Amazon. It’s a bit spendy, is DOT approved and good for 7-10 years (on exterior slabs). 🤓
Rust-oleum makes a great 2 part epoxy floor paint/sealer. you can get it at the big box stores. good stuff. i've used it
Garage floor should have been sealed when poured. Either way sealing the top won’t stop moisture coming through. It is cosmetic or associated with proper cure on new concrete.
Hi from Gander Newfoundland and Labrador 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦‼️
Epoxy the garage floor. Pretty and waterproof.
Resin floor paint should seal it nicely. There are also paint on damp proofing paints, but they probably aren't as hard wearing as an epoxy floor coating.
Eagle brand sealer, pick it up at home Depot $89 to $109 for 5 gallons..
Use it in commercial buildings all the time.
They have roll on sealant with glitter u can get at the big box store different colors
Fail your inspection or not... you are doing nicer work than most trade plumbers today. Most of them know all the tricks to pass an inspection but will still leave problems (like the pipe burrs). Good luck, hope your efforts get you a pass.
Garage floor... if you are having moisture come up, I really would not recommend sealing it. Best just to let it evaporate.
Use a cement Semi-Transparent stain and then a sealer(approx $30 per gallon). I used a pump sprayer and Valspar, it is holding up well. Since every state(and sometimes counties/cities) have different codes, it doesn't make sense to ask for peoples input on building stuff. jmho The apartment is looking great.
I've got to ask. What's up with the creepy doll?!? Lol
Lamberts Exposite 26 % solids non-yellowing sealer
You can get an epoxy sealer for the garage floor at the big box stores for a couple hundred $ like Seal-Krete Epoxy Seal or Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield. Also, did you put drains and vent piping in at the correct angles?
I wonder if you could make an end table out of all those disks of wood drilled out of the studs
I've used a mix of linseed oil and thinners
For the garage floor
When you have a chance, can you explain your plans to keep the pipes from freezing? As you know, in northern climates, exterior walls and unheated garages are always a concern.
Martin you could epoxy the floor or Cromlens make a spray that is absorbed into the concrete I think silicone based to seal it, a cheaper option
You need nail plates to cover your pipes so they don't get punctured during drywall
From experience there's nothing better than a penetrating sealer made by Super-krete, call Pene-Krete. It transforms the alkalinity in the concrete to a gel thereby creating a permanent vapor barrier. I've used it in below grade basements with amazing success. Once you've done this application you can apply any topical coating you want and it will not blister up from hydrostatic pressure or leaching salts. My son had some ship to Oregon, recently because vendors are limited.
Looks good to me you guys passed the cabin inspection you should ace it. I would use a waterproofer on the garage floor it's breatherable and cheaper that most things.
Marty, just curious about what slope rate you are using for the drain pipe? I know you can do 4" with an 1/8" drop per foot and under 4" at 1/4" drop per foot. Your video doesn't seem to show drop so, I was praying you were using the correct slope rate to avoid any clogging and making sure it would carry the solids. I over sloped a horizontal pipe in my wall and found the water flows away, leaving the solids. A real mess and my inspector missed it.
pour another floor with radiant heat,!!!, question 2,, you could have added 2x8 jog in one side of the wall & made easy access on one side little take out panel,, instead of ripping the whole wall apart.. aloha
I would go with an epoxy coating to seal the garage floor. Affordable-ish, very durable, and is customizable.
Epoxy garage floor coating, easy do it yourself and relatively cheap
Tough crete concrete sealer. I used it on my new garage
love your videos
