Why did you not use mortar/spec mix/or portland cement for you scratch and brown coats? Also, you probably should have used a bonding agent for your existing and, new stucco...
@BruBuilds 2 күн бұрын
I used stucco base coat; I don't you think you would want to use mortar mix because it doesn't have the fibers like a stucco mix to prevent cracking. A bonding agent is a good idea to use, I haven't used it or had any issues when repairing small areas.

If you can remove your hose and take it to the store, you should be able to find a match. The hose section at Home Depot can get unorganized from people grabbing hoses and putting them back in the wrong place, so you might have to dig.

The thing with these companies is they haven't figure out yet that we are all fans of corded electrical tools. I havent seen too many innovations in that field lately....only battery tools. Make less battery tools and stop changing voltages and designs....make more innovations in corded electrical tools that last forever.
@BruBuilds 14 күн бұрын
I agree, I have some very old corded tools that still work great. But those days are gone, we live in a ten year product life cycle. Sell it cheap, so it breaks in ten years and we have to buy another one.

Just did this for a client yesterday free of charge and didn’t ask for it It’s just something I noticed and took care of it. The client was so thankful for it. The hole was worn over bore - so I used a big plastic anchor that fits into the hole and clip/break apart a small anchor to fit into the bigger anchor hole and reused the screw. So basically an anchor within an anchor.

Excellent video! Been watching your series on the Outdoor Fireplace / Grill Station build. However, not finding the last video finishing up the grill area with the doors and wrap up with the fireplace. Am I missing them somewhere? You mentioned in the comments below you considered Vevor doors but went with KODOM doors for your build. Curious how they are holding up for you? They are very reasonably priced compared to many others I have looked at. Heard Vevor stainless steel is lessor grade and ends up with rust spots. Wondering with this price point if that is the same issue. LMK your experience so far!!
@BruBuilds 25 күн бұрын
Still trying to finish the video. Had a busy month and a half, but it’s almost done. We did order Vevor, had an issue with one of the doors and customer service. Kodom doors have a deeper flange, which really helped with the install. Ive actually been using one of the doors for a while and did have a rust issue, but realized it was coming from the magnet and plate that keeps the door closed. I sprayed it with some clear coat to see if that will fix it. All of this is in the video. Thanks for watching!

@BruBuilds 23 күн бұрын
@@kevinkleinmann I would say for the price they are ok, only time will tell. I'm sure they are as good as any another cheap door from China. The deeper flange is what sold me on these. My thought is if they start to have rust issues, I will paint them. You can find better "USA" built doors, but they will cost you (if they are actually built in the USA). My wife found a great deal (80% off) on a Lynx stainless-steel trash can unit, the build quality is a lot better, but list price is 15x more than a door.

I did apartment maintenance on an apartment we owned. This was an annoying problem for me. The bathrooms were small. And the lath and plaster was chewed up over time by the screws put into to mount the toilet paper holder. My solution might be seen as extreme but I didn't like fixing the same thing more than once. I installed recessed toilet paper holders. I didn't use the metal attachment plate that came with them. I put blocking behind the location and I attached the recessed holders with regular screws driven into the blocking.

You needed to hydrate the wall as you go on the chimney so you would have more time to float the wall. You also have to float as you go and then get back to your troweling. Mixing in a 5 gallon bucket would’ve been much easier. I give you a lot of credit for trying to do this on your own. I’ve got 40 years in the trade and I would’ve been hustling to do this on my own.

If you are getting roots, your pipe is broken somwhere and needs replacement
@BruBuilds Ай бұрын
Not necessarily, it just takes the smallest amount of moisture for a tree root to find its way into your sewer line. Ground movement can cause sewer lines to move and stress a joint where a leak can happen. Once a tiny root makes its way through a joint, then you now have roots in your pipes. If it becomes a bigger issue, installing a protective pipe sleeve, would be much cheaper than a complete replacement.

Thanks for the comment, I'm Ok with it if they keep honoring the lifetime of replacement batteries. I was expecting 4-6 weeks, but 8 was pushing it. They do need to work on the online status function. I've thrown away cordless tools because the price of a new battery is almost the same as a new tool with a battery, and they keep changing the voltage and form of the batteries. I purchased off brand replacement batteries once for a Dewalt drill and they only lasted a couple of years. So, I think I'm sticking with Ridgid.

Two things: 1. Delay, Delay, Delay. Let's try to wear them out so they just give up. 2. What constitutes "normal wear and tear is NOT covered". Seems like if you got 7 years out of the battery, that is pretty good. I am surprised they replaced.
@BruBuilds 2 ай бұрын
I was wondering what normal wear and tear on a battery would be, but the LSA does say lifetime of replacement batteries. I imagine at some point a new battery type will take over the market and these will become obsolete. But if I can get another 7 years out of these tools, I'll be happy.

@BruBuilds 2 ай бұрын
Not quite understanding the “how far apart question” I would run them the length of the metal track, with a small gab in a few places for water to drain out if needed. You wouldn’t want the cement board touching any water because they would suck the moisture. If you have the 1” composite board under the track, you should be able to run the cement board to the bottom of the track. What type of siding are you applying to the cement boards?
