Oh wow Croatia! That sure is fun knowing someone from so far away is checking out this video.

@@Eechygoeechy some people here over the years have said they have had success with a heat gun and this this method is ridiculous. However I personally think you are at much more significant risk of having the glass shatter and/or scorching the wood sash. I still to this day think for many instances this is by far the best solution. The combination of steam and hot water dripping down just does so much to loosen things up.

@ I’ve tried both the past 2 days. Heat alone did nothing. Steam worked pretty well but the glaze I’m working on is VERY OLD. It comes out it little pieces. A lot still left over scattered around. Pretty frustrating. Based on what it’s looking like, getting a nice finish seems unlikely. Any ideas to really work the crusty old stuff out?

No sir they are not and you are absolutely correct. I've been turning lights on and off for over 4 decades and I've never had to take a switch plate cover off to replace the batteries in a wall mounted switch. And I don't intend to start now.

@RebeccaYouhoo yeah I think so too. Our lake has a TON of turtles.

Nature has to nature I suppose. Just go watch the other video again you'll feel better.

I do the same thing. Edit. Haha. I just replied to my own comment. Didnt know i left one. I crack myself up.

@@alanjdeitch thanks hope it helps with your projects

@@ptg01 if you watch some of my other videos you'll see where this pipe goes across the front of the house and down a hill on the other side. I actually need to do a new followup video now that the grass has grown back but I got to working on another much longer trench drain also in some of my other videos.

Mine is going into a closed pipe all the way to the end, about 150 feet away, there's no drain rock in the ground like a french drain or drain field or anything like that. I'm mostly dealing with leaves which I find the weight of the water has no problem blowing out of the downspout, down and out of the end of the 4 inch PVC. About the most clogging thing would be twigs from the nearby river birch trees, which if you've watched any of my other videos about....and a sweet pain in general due to the amount of twigs and limbs they love to drop.

@@7mmLongRanger hope it helped out!

Thanks I hope it helps some folks with their own projects.

Hope it worked out for you

LoL I know I didn't know what he might do.

Oh no are they worse!?!? Lord I hope not!

@@WhateverUnique river birch are great compared to paper birch. paper birch fall apart so much more. there is no hope of them even coming close to being street trees.

No it's not that deep of a lake so the water stays moderate

Thanks hope it helps

Well that's actually a great aspect of this method of removal unlike the others where you are grinding and scraping breaking it down and producing dust. This is basically breaking it out in chunks and it's likely all going to be wet and keep anything from becoming airborne.

I'll try and get some video when it's raining but there's really little to no leaking. It's all vertical drop and it's not under any pressure. You may get some negligible drips but the area gets more water splashes from rain falling just outside the roof line than anything you'd see here. The slip ring fits quite snug and as long as the cuts are nice and straight and everything else it fitted up well there really should be no concern.

Hey finally had a rainy day where I could get a video of this quick disconnect. As you can see there's little to no leaking and certainly nothing to be concerned with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mamQi6Gqpc6ai8k

I've got two gutters hooked up to drywells and the only time it has a problem is during a torrential rainfall. So much water is going down, the air can't get out fast enough! I needed to put a vent in but, didn't think ahead like, Whateverunique!

@@WhateverUnique That Guy was just Trolling you! That system works fine! ( I also watched the other video as well!)

It's like we're all living in a video game!!

Out of curiosity are you doing a new system or thinking to retro fit an existing set up? I certainly see no reason someone couldn't simply cut an existing pipe nice and clean and then fit the slip rings on after the fact.

Nature is at work 24/7 trying to reclaim everything.

You underestimated my memory LoL. I think you might be the farthest person away that this has helped

Thanks yes I have found so many helpful things myself on KZbin and actually what I found led me to this solution in a different way.

Idiot comment

Hey but the good news is you can use a steamer like this for a LOT of different things so I don't consider it a "specialty tool" because it has so many uses. To me a specialty tool is something that has only one or maybe at best two uses. A steamer you can use for a variety of things.

It's ok I understand what he was trying to say. But to me a steamer is an incredibly diverse tool . Some people just might not see it that way.

You're welcome I hope it helps

Ohhhhh ok yeah I feel that pain for real.

Oooof ....sorry?

Yes I think anything you could get to put steam out to a localized area would work well. Sorry it took so long to find. I know the pain of finding a solution after the fact.

I actually saw companies using large steaming containment devices to steam entire windows in a single go which lead me to this solution. But I think it's great that people are wanting to maintain their original wood windows because they realize they are almost invaluable and irreplaceable in today's market.

Yes because the natural moisture attacks it first but this steaming method speeds that up for the vertical and upper sections.

You're welcome glad it helped
