1950s Basement Remodel | Dangerous Electricity Found In Walls | THE HANDYMAN |

[@KevinDrevik]

Looks good. I like that you show all the "dirty" prep work you have to do on a project, just to get it ready for work. Appreciate your channel!

[@TheHandyman1]

That flooring has to come out too. Lots of dirty work with that part.

[@odiesclips7621]

First thing I noticed was those meaty floor joists. Gotta love 1950's infrastructure!!❤

[@nytrortx5224]

Work boots and a respirator? Who are you and what did you do with the real handyman?? 😂

[@hotsaucehimself]

You missed the dremel cutting disc with no safety glasses 😂

[@jdshear01]

He wasn't wearing gloves, he still gets credit for that.

[@JonnyDIY]

He went woke! 🤣💕👍

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

Gotta promote stuff to buy via his KZbin channel, but it’s a good business strategy after all. 🤷‍♂️

[@Franske-NL]

Aliens got him 🤣

[@steverid]

@ 12:02. The Handyman Elvis impersonator extraordinaire. 😂

[@paulseizert6603]

Fingers crossed for black mold!!!

[@JonnyDIY]

Nice job Handy 👏💕👍 Ima have to rewatch the plumbing part to see whay you were doing, it's late I was nodding off 😆😴💤

[@Blah-blah-sure]

Hey, Handyman. Ak, AR, caulk gun! They all have the word ‘gun’ in them! Laughs 😂

[@JK-Handyman]

handyman, I'm surprised your still rocking a corded Dremel tool. I went with the Dremel 8250-5 3ah cordless for $150 a few years ago and lovin it. I use it so infrequently I only need to charge it maybe once or twice a year and it comes with a nice case to keep your shit together. Get one and ditch the time wasting cord!

[@Blah-blah-sure]

Exactly. A lot of corded power tools seem ancient. And only add to the clutter. You’ll notice he has a nice Dewalt 20v reciprocating saw. And a cordless Dremel isn’t too expensive. You might as well go all in.

[@Franske-NL]

Interesting video again. 👍

[@MikeM-bi5ot]

Gotta watch out for that Chinese drywall! Seriously though I know a contractor that went and did a bunch of work in New Orleans after Katrina. He didn’t know it… after some time people started getting sick, had some weird corrosion or something like that, long behold, Chinese drywall….. he said he got sued really bad, everyone did.

[@WhatsThisNonSense]

Sped up handyman looks and sounds like he’s on adderall for the first time 😂

[@alexthompson4422]

That shirt had me laughing my ass off when I noticed it. That’s fucking great

[@bmac8130]

The real handy man would have put mustard on that dust… getting soft handyman

[@HANDYMANHEADQUARTERS]

Love some drylock! I have the same problem when I use it. They Say a wire brush.

[@tronclay]

That sounds like the whistle of a man who knows hes making some DAMN GOOD money LOL!

[@Expressitc]

1:26 literally laughed out loud, then took my ipad to show the wife and watched her crack up.

[@andreakeeling9217]

A good one. ❤renovations.

[@motasolo]

egress window for bedroom?

[@bencotton544]

Those black floor tiles are made of Asbestos. Had the some in a old house.

[@haphazzard3431]

Throw some mustard down and go to town!!

[@jdshear01]

Maybe they don't identify as asbestos...you don't know. It's 2024, they can be anything they want to be. Especially if you're an inspector.

[@Asomesauc]

I wonder how Handy Andy would have went about it

[@bascodelagamma]

👍

[@BamaBreeze]

Handy how do you not sweat? Here in the heart of Dixie I’m changing shirts multiple times a day. Usually just walking to truck ruins a shirt. It must be a super handyman power? HandyOn!

[@TheHandyman1]

This is in a basement that is about 69 degrees. Humidity outside is 8% That's not a typo.

[@jimmaul]

Celotex Corporation is a defunct American manufacturer of insulation and construction materials. It was the subject of a number of high-profile lawsuits over products containing asbestos in the 1980s, eventually declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1990. So that drywall is likely from the 80s sometime.

[@turbotek-wj8vc]

The hidden Jbox, the pain in the neck for electricians. Verboten!

[@PGBartlett]

Dude, how much solder did you use on that first fitting? It looked like a few inches, many times more than you need. Where do you suppose all that extra solder ends up? Except for that, you are the greatest handyman on earth.

[@TheHandyman1]

It dripped onto the floor.

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

That must have been super good drywall. The type with all the delicious asbestos 😋. Definitely not made is China! 😂😂😂

[@hankc1208]

surprising that the foundation is not cinder block

[@planetvance]

0:47 Is the respirator for black mold?

[@TheHandyman1]

No. The dust

[@Burner123-zd4hc]

Who among us doesn't like squiring some caulk.

[@keithprocter141]

I would guess that drywall was made April 25, 1979

[@jdshear01]

Have you ever weighed in on cinch vs clamp for PEX? It seems to be there are 100 different opinions...most prefer the first one they ever used and they all seem to be fine. It's funny how people get so defensive about it. I think everyone agrees that Polybutylene is terrible and that CPVC gets brittle over time and should be avoided if you can use PEX. Copper is great but it's pricey and you have to use FIRE...oh no! That might be a consideration for some job sites which makes PEX the winner.

[@TheHandyman1]

I have both. I only use the cinch when I cant fit my clamp in. The only reason is the price of the rings.

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

I only use safe electricity in my walls.

[@dougschadel8094]

What was that stuff you were putting on the walls?

[@TheHandyman1]

08:38

[@dougschadel8094]

@@TheHandyman1 ok thanks. I just have not heard that but that's the same stuff I used on the floor and walls of a basement I sealed up. Also some hydraulic cement. Some cracks were seeping through. Dry lock definitely helps and it's like putting on cake mix lol

[@williammccardle-mb7zq]

knowing what we now know about plastic we need to get back to copper i know expensive but your kids health

[@rrh220]

Sorry I'm late. Theo Von dropped an interview with Trump.

[@remodz6385]

I saw that too😮 it was great

[@briansierzega]

Cocaine owl had me rolling 😂😂

[@Franske-NL]

Thanks for the hint. Will view that after the one and only handyman is done 😎

[@boblair53]

I like your channel, but your whistling is annoying.

[@matthewrick]

Your complaining is annoying too 😘

[@Franske-NL]

Whistling is awesome. 😎

[@bobbyjohnston3916]

I hate having to listen to people whistle. Give us some music or something.

[@PhillyFixed]

You must be new here.

[@Franske-NL]

Put on some Spotify

[@Frankferra33]

whistlers are so annoying

[@jdshear01]

This reminds me of Windows XP when it was first released, also known by the project code name of "Whistler".

[@Franske-NL]

Nothing wrong with a nice whistle.
