I never get tired of watching how people come up with creative solutions, but I'm going to agree with those who think the design with the grille over the drain will create more cleaning problems.
I made myself the same chain saw blade grinding attachment as seen in this video. It worked great made a few of them now. But I was worried about one of them chains coming off. That would not be good ! Good thing I'm a very skilled welder.
at 4:50 mark, we were electrical contractors for 25 years, i'm not aware of a code that broke. We had multiple commercial conduit warmers to allow custom bends. Only issue I can imagine is if the conduit flattened at a bend. Great video
@Josh Entheosparks you can see by the pressure rating on the pipe - written in either Spanish or Portugese - that this pipe is not in America and therefore does not adhere to American building code. The 2 places this language is the main language are Spain and Portugal - ie Europe, and South America. Firstly, conduit obviously does not not have pressure rating. This pipe IS pressure rated, it is designed for liquid or gas. Secondly, code in most of Europe has this colour plastic pipe for plumbing, central heating, and gas. It is *NOT* known as 'conduit grey' in Europe, it is simply known as indoor plastic plumbing pipe colour. The only other colours used are a brown shade for pipes designed to go underground, and black for armoured pipe.
@Tommy PI agree about the dangers of overheating PVC, but I don't agree that PVC is involved in this actial video. Look more closely. PVC is always white or off-white in color. (in the U.S., anyway). It's also very brittle (inflexible) before heating and after a heating/cooling cycle. No paint or plastic stripped, melted, bubbled, or burned while we watched the pipe being warmed, so it's extremely unlikely that it would be a painted or coated pipe (in case someone wanted to argue that point). The material in the video is GRAY in color, and fairly flexible before AND aftee heating, so it's probably something else, like maybe PE or PU.
@Ed In North Texas depends on where you live. In all of Europe, that colour pipe is standard hep pipe, used for plumbing water, central heating hot and cold, and yes, gas. Ive never heard of it used as conduit pipe, especially since it is pressure rated - and the rating is in either Spanish or Portugese, meaning it is either European or South American, neither of which uses Texan code.
I made a track for my gate wheel to ride on out of concrete pave stoned with the rounded end that allow you to create a relatively smooth arced path and buried it to ground level. Seems to work well, did it three years ago.
16:26 Well that's an awfully expensive way to do it. 1. Cut out the damaged area (as was shown) making sure to cut a SQUARE hole. A carpenters square is handy for this and a common utility knife is sufficient. Make sure you don't slice up the fibers by parting the fibers to set the knife on the backing. The square can also be used to hold the fibers out of the way by pushing them under it's edge. 2. Place cold seaming tape on the underside of the edges of the hole so that half the tape sticks out around the inside of the hole. 3. Mark your shape with a tape measure and jiffy marker on the back of your remnant then use your square again as a straight edge to cut along with the utility knife. But be careful about what direction the fibers are laying or you will wind up with an obvious patch that looks like a cow lick. Don't try to trace your cut out as it will end up to big. 4. Use a non-water soluble glue on the edges of the double sided cold seaming tape inside the hole and the underside of your patch. 5. Set your patch carefully in place and don't forget to pay attention to the direction of the fibers. 6. Run back and forth over the patch with a hand tool called a carpet tractor. It's just a frame with some knobbed wheels. Cold Seaming tape $10.00 Silicon based glue $10.00 Utility knife $10.00 Carpenters square $10.00 Tape measure $10.00 Carpet tractor $150.00 I learned this working at a carpet cleaning company that was established in 1914. It has been handed down from grandfather, to father, to son and now the 4th generation is working there. They are the people you call when you need your $10,000.00 silk rug cleaned.
IF the gate was built correctly, it would NOT sag. The verticals of the frame should be inside the horizontals. The diagonal support (missing in this video) MUST be in the correct position with the upper end toward the outer frame of the gate. The upper end should be attached to the upper horizontal and the lower end attached to the hinge side vertical. Do this and you won't need wheels on the gate. The post that the gate hangs from must be pretty solid though.
FANTASTIC! Living on a ranch, creative thinking becomes critical to solving problems. Two hours to run to the local hardware store is not the best use of time.
They actually make plastic repair kits and there is such a thing as a plastic welder. If you are using a rod you have to match the types of plastic, though. A wire mesh like a window screen is MUCH easier to work with, though.
16:10 The thing about those gate wheels sinking into the ground over time... One could have a solid floor put in place there to prevent that. Maybe cement foundation, metal plating, clay foundation or whatever works.
whao man. is nobody gonna bring up the guy cleaning hair and junk out of that (public looking) shower drain with bare hands ?? big thanks to TechZone for putting this video together. great content ! 💥👍💥
@ 16:20 or so, the wheels on the gate posts. I did that to my gate. A skilled carpenter refused to build my gate because he said it was too wide and the gates would sag. I built the gate myself and added cables from corner to corner to pull the gates up, then added these wheels. The ground wasn't grass as the video, but I had installed flagstone in the ground to create a small patio before the gate. The wheels have worked for more than a decade even rolling on the rough flagstone.
If you have a book with all the information you put in your videos, I'd be very interested in getting the link to it. If not, I'll be happy to transcribe it for you and help you publish it for a free copy.
@04:17 that thing is a 50/50 if its going to hold or not. Seen a company use a similar thing when they put tiles in a big shopping mall. They had to rip up more then half of them since they came loose. The reason its hand tools for that job is because you work the stuff into all the nooks and crevices so it holds to both surfaces better.
As soon as you started recounting various contrary opinions, I subscribed! Thank you for including contraindications!!!! OMG! So Glad I stayed for the air powered grout gun🔥
Not really sure what's going on with this "water heating system" at the end but I'd love to see an in-depth. Also, the garage ceiling storage-WHAT is this unit? Those look like plastic I-beams? It seems they tighten with bolts to hold steady in place? I thought they were installing "strip shelving" tracks in the ceiling at first but this is definitely not that. And what's the orange putty thing he's using to find/mark the joists?? So many questions! 😲 I'm just a home DIY-er 😵💫
"Need to draw a perfect circle, but only have a tape measurer and a nail at hand?" Odd, because I thought you need something to draw with, and something to hammer in the nail with as well.
😃(1:11 - 1:28) That's a new one on me: in the electrical trade we would send a conduit piston (affectionately known as a "mouse" or a "pig") with a string attached to it through the conduit by either positive or negative pressure. The foam piston would travel through the pipe pulling in the string behind. We've never used the term "cat" for this device! (9:30 - 9:46) You left out the best part! (Did he kick those last pipes off the other end? Did he fall off the other end?)
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤ Making money is an Action, keeping money is behavior, Growing money is Knowledge. I once attended seminar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth.
I hope so I think will also join but right now I can't start with Alot of money I guess $2000 would do a try, I hope this works out like you guys said....
The wire connection (13-14 mark) is a very good connection for low voltage wiring, it would work for high voltage too if not for the problem of insulating the connection. That’s most likely the code issue.
@Chris Tesch I would imagine the most crucial point would be making sure that cat was hungry before you put her through there that way she would go immediately to that food you offered.
4:25. it already IS in the market, has been for years. cant remember what its called but have used something similar (no ridges) to lay mortar, the same thats being put down here
The flares been on the PVC pipe is she six inches on the factory female side of the pipe your gluing, but the flare he made looks like the same glue depth as a coupler Looks nice 7:20 Look that's how they empty the tiny garbage can on the floor!!
@4:50 this is used in the aquarium industry regularly. The trick to keep the stability in the pipe, is first fill the pipe with salt to help maintain integrity by more evenly distributing the heat. Obviously don't leave the heat focused on one area....
I learned the hard way that if you have a few hens and a rooster, the rooster may choose one hen as his favorite and will always be after her. The problem is that the excess jumping on her and the padding her on her back can damage her digestive tract. Causing enough injury that it kills her. So keep an eye to make sure one hen is not singled out. If that happens seperate your rooster from the hens.
I did that decades ago. I was wiring a house up. Because the customer had all her furniture in the rooms. I used her cat to run the cables. Trouble was, I had to coax her to come out of the other side, by putting some meat down 😂 There’s some great ideas there 👍👍
The problem with videos like this is it gives high hopes to those who need people with the skills you show. However when you try to find someone who can do them it is IMPOSSIBLE. There are so many things I need to have done. And I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for the labor and materials. But it would take a rich person who can afford to track them down or a miracle to find and hire such individuals. I think if you had a physical book with the contact information of the skilled laborers you feature and who are willing to be included in it and offered yearly updated versions of it, along with a disclaimer of course, people would jump at the chance to buy it. In the meantime, some of us try to duplicate what they do and often fail. I speak for myself as I am an older person with limitations. I'm 100% sure that you would make a lot of money. There are a lot of us. *As I read the comments I found there are others who feel the same way*.
2:33 I use cordless drills to manufacture cables of my own needs. Anchor one end to a fixed device after tieing a knot to keep all wires together. Cut the wires at the required length except you add about an extra 35% of length. Then make sure all wires are not tangled, and tie another knot at the loose end, keeping small but firm tension. Open up the drill chuck and push the end of the wires in then tighten the chuck. Stand up with the chuck facing the secured end then lean back to give some tension. Slowly squeeze the trigger and let those wires twist together. Once they're nicely twisted, reverse the direction for a few turns to prevent the cable from knotting itself. This is due to the swirl having energy that will spin the wires and cause crossing resulting in knots. Number of reverse turns depends on length and number of wires, plus how tightly wound they are. After the tension is released, you open the chuck, find the appropriate length and size of heat shrink. (Not glue shrink unless ends need to be sealed from atmospheric conditions. Even then you don't need a full length of glue shrink.) Once heat shrinking is complete, you can start finishing the job that needs the cable. I've been using this method to make my own cables for over 20 years. Originally devised because I couldn't buy the specific number of conductors needed in various installations I was involved with. You cannot buy previously manufactured cables, then just cut off the extra wires not needed, when there is a limited space for laying the cable. Funnily enough, my cables are cheaper than buying prefabricated cables, by a massive margin. I buy rolls of different colours and sizes of individual wires, also with various numbers of strands. I can make anything from small, low voltage hook-up links, to larger cables up to 5kv rated, as well as the required heat and insulation ratings. Making my own cables is actually a bunch of fun TBH.
The wiring connection @13:55 is incorrect, it is only half of the "Western Union" as it's called and you loop the other end around as well so they are both wrapped around each other making it very strong against pulling apart, especially in electronics where you will use solder. IN his version, you can just pull a bit and the joint comes apart easily. H would have gotten an F in electrical class for his version.
For the record, at the 7:00 mark, that's an already existing product that one can easily obtain. We use them in the hotel industry religiously and they're only about $5-10 depending on brand and length. The 9:50 mark one with the bug spray. Yeah, that's not a con job or anything ether. I couldn't believe that one when I first saw it years ago and I've been cleaning headlights with it since. Tip though if you do want to use it. Let it set for about 2 min before you wipe it off.
@Deforge Randome toothpaste acts as an abrasive and can damage your headlights. It will remove the finish of the plastic and make it more prone to collecting stains among other stuck on stuff. The bug spray simply breaks down the deposits.
Wire wound techniques have been around at least since the 60’s. Or better the electrical joint would be wire wound then soldered or so I was instructed by some of my original mentors over forty years ago. We used it in our mainframe computers and peripheral units which were off the shelf technology in 1964.
@John BeltmanI agree John, I believe it is called the "Western union splice" and possibly the "linemans splice". Each strand of wire must be coiled around the other. This eliminates the sharp bend on the uncoiled strand shown in this video. Should the uncoiled, sharply bent (180*) strand break at that bend, the splice could/would come apart. The method shown here is not adequate, imho. This is for residential, I cannot speak about aviation purposes.
Also look at a “Winchester solder splice” I believe it was called. The best old school in line solder splice for aviation / aerospace. Even the “Raychem Environmental Splices” are not equal to quality of these old school splices the skill of which is very impressive.
As a worker cool, as an owner operator no way, some of these things might have OSHA on your case and cost you thousands. But very cool cheap hacks. Very mind pleasing.
at 14:48 the water is mostly heated by the electric pump, painting the bottles black would be much more efficient. The one of minute 15 has many points of improvement, as you mentioned the pvc pipe; they emit gas...
The cat trick was entertaining. With my luck, the cat would just run about at random below, wrapping the wire around every post and obtrusion it could find, then emerge from the SAME hole it went into.
Just found this. I really appreciate that this isn’t just another stolen video compilation. I like how you incorporate the comment section for extra info.
My husband was a commercial electrician. He wired businesses. If a business building like a shopping mall needed new wiring run, we had trained pet rats, wearing a ferret harness, with te new wire attached, to run it through the wall or ceiling. Thereby not needing to tear down a wall or ceiling just to run a new electrical wire.
My father always told me to use the right tool for the job. A third of these are cheap tools one can buy off the shelf. Some of them are only useful in that one situation but are a creative solution for when you need to have the job done right now and the right parts are out of budget.
15:51 glad he mentioned that could be down right dangerous, that thing is a horrible stupid idea, gear ratio, rpms, lack of weight and leverage on that angle grinder will leave a lasting impression on your face the minute it hits some resistance. seen a guy tear half his ear off on an approved wire cup bit from kick back.
10:41 It's not about cleaning problems, it's about being able to stop water pooling at the bottom of the shower. Can happen if the slope of the floor is not to the minimum spec.
@4:16 GENIUS for spreading mortar between courses of block wall! @2:20 "welding/melting cracked plastic can bottom with metal rings... I wonder if this would really be effective???? @3:43 Cutting replacement flooring to fit, close to wall w/ easy measuring trick @5:48 Form/jig for dropping tiles into place @7:29 Using masking tape over an open floor space, to create a pattern for cutting a tile to fit the space perfectly @11:09 Create ceiling cleats to hold storage boxes... contents probably need to be light b/c edges of boxes must hold load [1.31.2023]
16:00 This is the one idea on here I wouldn't consider. That homemade chainsaw grinder wheel comes apart and you and anyone nearby better be wearing a full face shield!
7:00 for gods sake please wear gloves 8:40 wow he's wearing nice clothes for that job xD 9:48 well not sure you should put this on your skin haha 14:28 omg genius o_O 15:42 respect to anyone doing the dirty work everyday!
I sure would love to be able to contact the person who did that thing with the water bottles that began at 14 minutes 40 seconds through till 15 minutes 40 seconds... Would love more information and I would be able to love to ask a few questions and pick their brain.
5:00 The heating and bending of PVC has been used for many years. In fact, there is a strong argument to be made AGAINST using a bunch of fittings, as the more joints there are, hence the more failure points. This guy did his bend like a pro. Also, there isn't a code on bending pipes. The code for inspection is based on tested pressure. By the way, what you just saw this man do? Yeah, that's the same process they use to bend the pipes that you buy pre-bent.
I live in an older farmhouse and learned early on that copper water lines that have been bent will get pin holes on the outside of the bend. Back in the day the copper pipe was very thin walled and going to town for connections was out of the question so bending was common. Oddly, the person who installed the plumbing here was a boilermaker :)
You wouldn't sharpen the hook for the drywall trick. The hook will hold the edge of the board your finger won't. Have been a drywaller the shown way was also the trick I used. The hook trick would not give a strait cut.
OH i like it ! and your voice is sooooo gentle ! Tricks are good, but presented your way is a great ShoW ! Mick Jagger said: it is the singer and not the song =))
That is definitely not the proper way to splice wires lol. Any electrician would laughed at whoever thinks that you twist your wires together like that to splice them 😆

We used to insulate a Spliced wire, with PVC Electrical Tape! Today you could add Heat Sharing Tubing! Both!
ah now makes sense...
Okay, I am an electrician and I love cats. If only I could train mine to do that kind of work! That is amazing!
Mine would probably get caught up around a pipe or pile and I'd end up cutting the floor up to rescue the idiot...
we use pet rats wearing a harness to run new wires in commercial buildings .
@Chris Tesch I would imagine the most crucial point would be making sure that cat was hungry before you put her through there that way she would go immediately to that food you offered.
I bet you could. Get his\her favorite treats to put at the end and viola!

Using the cat to drag the pull string through the deck was genus because it worked 👍
Without doubt, the kitty wire installer is the top tip, very closely followed by the airline powered grouting applicator.
The flares been on the PVC pipe is she six inches on the factory female side of the pipe your gluing, but the flare he made looks like the same glue depth as a coupler
Looks nice

I did that decades ago. I was wiring a house up. Because the customer had all her furniture in the rooms. I used her cat to run the cables. Trouble was, I had to coax her to come out of the other side, by putting some meat down 😂
There’s some great ideas there 👍👍
@Jimichan that’s a good idea 😂
I mounted a fishing reel on a sling shot and shot a lead weight where I wanted to go. Worked great in ceilings and attics.
Thats what they were doing too! lol. She was coaxing that cat the whole way with treats! lol.
Good and helpful video for women in construction like me.
You just saved me hours of searching and watching. And you included key "comments". Brilliant. Thank you.
The problem with videos like this is it gives high hopes to those who need people with the skills you show. However when you try to find someone who can do them it is IMPOSSIBLE. There are so many things I need to have done. And I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for the labor and materials. But it would take a rich person who can afford to track them down or a miracle to find and hire such individuals. I think if you had a physical book with the contact information of the skilled laborers you feature and who are willing to be included in it and offered yearly updated versions of it, along with a disclaimer of course, people would jump at the chance to buy it. In the meantime, some of us try to duplicate what they do and often fail. I speak for myself as I am an older person with limitations. I'm 100% sure that you would make a lot of money. There are a lot of us. *As I read the comments I found there are others who feel the same way*.
2:33 I use cordless drills to manufacture cables of my own needs.
Anchor one end to a fixed device after tieing a knot to keep all wires together.
Cut the wires at the required length except you add about an extra 35% of length.
Then make sure all wires are not tangled, and tie another knot at the loose end, keeping small but firm tension.
Open up the drill chuck and push the end of the wires in then tighten the chuck.
Stand up with the chuck facing the secured end then lean back to give some tension.
Slowly squeeze the trigger and let those wires twist together.
Once they're nicely twisted, reverse the direction for a few turns to prevent the cable from knotting itself.
This is due to the swirl having energy that will spin the wires and cause crossing resulting in knots.
Number of reverse turns depends on length and number of wires, plus how tightly wound they are.
After the tension is released, you open the chuck, find the appropriate length and size of heat shrink.
(Not glue shrink unless ends need to be sealed from atmospheric conditions. Even then you don't need a full length of glue shrink.)
Once heat shrinking is complete, you can start finishing the job that needs the cable.
I've been using this method to make my own cables for over 20 years.
Originally devised because I couldn't buy the specific number of conductors needed in various installations I was involved with.
You cannot buy previously manufactured cables, then just cut off the extra wires not needed, when there is a limited space for laying the cable.
Funnily enough, my cables are cheaper than buying prefabricated cables, by a massive margin.
I buy rolls of different colours and sizes of individual wires, also with various numbers of strands.
I can make anything from small, low voltage hook-up links, to larger cables up to 5kv rated, as well as the required heat and insulation ratings.
Making my own cables is actually a bunch of fun TBH.
Excellent explanation, capability and reasoning. 👍
That was really impressive
Thanks !!
The wiring connection @13:55 is incorrect, it is only half of the "Western Union" as it's called and you loop the other end around as well so they are both wrapped around each other making it very strong against pulling apart, especially in electronics where you will use solder. IN his version, you can just pull a bit and the joint comes apart easily. H would have gotten an F in electrical class for his version.
HIGHLY CREATIVE WORKERS THAT ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL - nice video
For the record, at the 7:00 mark, that's an already existing product that one can easily obtain. We use them in the hotel industry religiously and they're only about $5-10 depending on brand and length.
The 9:50 mark one with the bug spray. Yeah, that's not a con job or anything ether. I couldn't believe that one when I first saw it years ago and I've been cleaning headlights with it since. Tip though if you do want to use it. Let it set for about 2 min before you wipe it off.
The hair clog tool @ .99 store. And hair clogs contain excrement, W
Wear gloves!
@Deforge Randome toothpaste acts as an abrasive and can damage your headlights. It will remove the finish of the plastic and make it more prone to collecting stains among other stuck on stuff. The bug spray simply breaks down the deposits.

supposedly toothpaste works well, too.
Wire wound techniques have been around at least since the 60’s. Or better the electrical joint would be wire wound then soldered or so I was instructed by some of my original mentors over forty years ago. We used it in our mainframe computers and peripheral units which were off the shelf technology in 1964.
@John BeltmanI agree John, I believe it is called the "Western union splice" and possibly the "linemans splice". Each strand of wire must be coiled around the other. This eliminates the sharp bend on the uncoiled strand shown in this video. Should the uncoiled, sharply bent (180*) strand break at that bend, the splice could/would come apart.
The method shown here is not adequate, imho. This is for residential, I cannot speak about aviation purposes.
Also look at a “Winchester solder splice” I believe it was called. The best old school in line solder splice for aviation / aerospace. Even the “Raychem Environmental Splices” are not equal to quality of these old school splices the skill of which is very impressive.
As a worker cool, as an owner operator no way, some of these things might have OSHA on your case and cost you thousands. But very cool cheap hacks. Very mind pleasing.
13:02 may not work for everyone
It works well for single stranded wires
Multi stranded wires are flexible doesn't bend like this
Fascinating! I just can't figure out how often new videos appear?
14:48 water heater🔥
15:02 pvc pipe, insulating tape, glue
at 14:48 the water is mostly heated by the electric pump, painting the bottles black would be much more efficient.
The one of minute 15 has many points of improvement, as you mentioned the pvc pipe; they emit gas...
I felt the pressure of the guy with the concrete gun
The cat trick was entertaining.
With my luck, the cat would just run about at random below, wrapping the wire around every post and obtrusion it could find, then emerge from the SAME hole it went into.
Wow amazing 😍
Thanks 🙏
Just found this. I really appreciate that this isn’t just another stolen video compilation. I like how you incorporate the comment section for extra info.
I like the soldering iron trick, replacing the tip with a screw is even better
My husband was a commercial electrician. He wired businesses. If a business building like a shopping mall needed new wiring run, we had trained pet rats, wearing a ferret harness, with te new wire attached, to run it through the wall or ceiling. Thereby not needing to tear down a wall or ceiling just to run a new electrical wire.
My father always told me to use the right tool for the job. A third of these are cheap tools one can buy off the shelf. Some of them are only useful in that one situation but are a creative solution for when you need to have the job done right now and the right parts are out of budget.
A REAL HERO! 👍👍👍👍👍😎
I would like to know if you would know how to make this hole larger without busting the glass? I don’t see where to attach the pix???
I liked it, an interesting idea
3:02 is how every old school plasterer has ever cut board
15:51 glad he mentioned that could be down right dangerous, that thing is a horrible stupid idea, gear ratio, rpms, lack of weight and leverage on that angle grinder will leave a lasting impression on your face the minute it hits some resistance. seen a guy tear half his ear off on an approved wire cup bit from kick back.
That's some hefty shower clogging. Must belong to a family of Wookies or something!
Lol. Good one.
10:41 It's not about cleaning problems, it's about being able to stop water pooling at the bottom of the shower. Can happen if the slope of the floor is not to the minimum spec.
That PLUS cleaning.
definitely going to use the garage storage idea.
12:53 Why did nobody tell him you can get long screws designed for that kind of job at the same place he got his new socket from?
@4:16 GENIUS for spreading mortar between courses of block wall!
@2:20 "welding/melting cracked plastic can bottom with metal rings... I wonder if this would really be effective????
@3:43 Cutting replacement flooring to fit, close to wall w/ easy measuring trick
@5:48 Form/jig for dropping tiles into place
@7:29 Using masking tape over an open floor space, to create a pattern for cutting a tile to fit the space perfectly
@11:09 Create ceiling cleats to hold storage boxes... contents probably need to be light b/c edges of boxes must hold load

Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !!!
16:00 This is the one idea on here I wouldn't consider. That homemade chainsaw grinder wheel comes apart and you and anyone nearby better be wearing a full face shield!
Don't forget he did help stop the overstocking of ice-cream 😉
Nowadays It's quite difficult to recognize whether the voiceover is AI generated or a real one.
These were actually some really good workarounds
7:00 for gods sake please wear gloves
8:40 wow he's wearing nice clothes for that job xD
9:48 well not sure you should put this on your skin haha
14:28 omg genius o_O
15:42 respect to anyone doing the dirty work everyday!
You explain the produk more than the seller/user 💀
The grout machine guy needs to be a millionaire.
I sure would love to be able to contact the person who did that thing with the water bottles that began at 14 minutes 40 seconds through till 15 minutes 40 seconds... Would love more information and I would be able to love to ask a few questions and pick their brain.
7:20 а запах, прям аромат, даже через монитор чую ))))
Many, many great ideas here.
5:00 The heating and bending of PVC has been used for many years. In fact, there is a strong argument to be made AGAINST using a bunch of fittings, as the more joints there are, hence the more failure points. This guy did his bend like a pro. Also, there isn't a code on bending pipes. The code for inspection is based on tested pressure. By the way, what you just saw this man do? Yeah, that's the same process they use to bend the pipes that you buy pre-bent.
I live in an older farmhouse and learned early on that copper water lines that have been bent will get pin holes on the outside of the bend. Back in the day the copper pipe was very thin walled and going to town for connections was out of the question so bending was common. Oddly, the person who installed the plumbing here was a boilermaker :)
Very good and really helpfull👍👍👍👍
People with not a lot of money or resources HAVE to be creative at solving problems fast and affordably - so they gotta "think outside the box!"
The washer and the marker..how do they connect two for measuring on the board
13:28 Well, I'm not 100% sure, if I would use copper wire inside a socket.
You wouldn't sharpen the hook for the drywall trick. The hook will hold the edge of the board your finger won't. Have been a drywaller the shown way was also the trick I used. The hook trick would not give a strait cut.
i like how you also state the controversy of these vids 😄
It's beautiful😍🔝
That looks like electrical conduit he’s using the heat gun with, in which case he would have to do it that way as elbows would be against regulations.
11:29 that looks too close to the door. I'm going to need to see them open the garage door all the way up.
OH i like it ! and your voice is sooooo gentle ! Tricks are good, but presented your way is a great ShoW ! Mick Jagger said: it is the singer and not the song =))
Thumbs up for the cat electrician 😂
The Cat is an absolute hit!!!!
That is definitely not the proper way to splice wires lol. Any electrician would laughed at whoever thinks that you twist your wires together like that to splice them 😆
