10:07 THANK YOU for showing the finished product!!!!

Ryan don’t forget the finish product 22:33

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

You do a great job in your vids! I will keep watching 😁

[@infotainment999]

As it is, the roots will only grow and create more cracks...just dig up some dirt and chop the roots off about 15" from the wall all sides, that's if you want to keep the palm, that should give you a few more years before dealing with it again, but double check with an expert how much you can cut off without killing it

[@ImTheJoker4u]

My cordless 20V Dewalt 1/2” drive impact died a few days ago and I’ve been back to using the Snap On pneumatic. Between tripping over the hose, the weight, and having to pick it up off the floor every time, boy do I miss my cordless.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Try Milwaukee FUEL next time.

[@orionsmith7668]

Can we get a level on that dryer vent? Think its off by 5 degrees lol.

[@billloesch1884]

Dryer Vent Comments: If you are determined to use flex vent, you need to expand (stretch) the flex and cut off excess. You are trying to make the vent wall as straight as possible. Better yet is to use rigid vent (but no screws to snag lint). Rigid elbows would offer less flow restriction as would long sweep elbows. Finally, the vent termination was easy to install using the boarded up window but now the termination is recessed from the exterior face of the house wall providing opportunities for increased wind induced turbulence. The sponsor is now preventing "Old House" from doing "due diligence"? Thanks for all the topics you cover.

I'm a professional stucco plaster for 25 years and yeah I work in San Diego but the way he said wire lath and throw the stucco to the wall and use something to do the textured is not correct. First wire lath second use cement to make a thin scratch third the brown that would be the finish so the actual stucco sticks to the wall fourth the not to thin stucco coat on the brown coat and fifth Pearson behind gets the finish trowel gets some stucco and do that textured finish FYI In the field we call it Lace And Skip Trowel Texture.

[@jamesblanton3744]

Surprised to see you use flexible duct and not ridged

[@ArcolaBridge]

Absolutely no flex pipe and no louvered exhaust vent! Always adhere to the highest industry standards! Heavy duty galvanized or stainless rigid 4 inch dryer piping with no horizontal sections and the shortest run possible. 1 foot off the back of the dryer before the first 45 degree fitting. Tape every seam and use a single flap vent Hood with no obstruction or screen and a minimum of 2 feet from the ground, one foot is code but 2 feet is a higher standard.

[@compactcow]

@@ArcolaBridge eh it's probably fine

[@SupraRy]

@@ArcolaBridge dude calm down. I'm an electrician and we HAVE to follow code that closely cause it can kill you. You're talking about pushing lint through a tube, calmmmmm down.

[@jmbootz]

@@ArcolaBridge Sure, if you want your dryer like 3 feet from the wall. They don't have that much room there.

[@ArcolaBridge]

@@jmbootz you could still use metal. I'm so mistrustful of that flexible crap, never ever.

[@stevengao8345]

thanks for this nice tutorial for fixing around household. does anyone know that on the top left side of the dryer has constant noice when operating , it is like something is scratching metal. but I think is not the belt, because I press down the top left side with little force , the noice totally disappeared, so very time I put a foam to squeeze the side panel, lucky me the washer just on the left side of the dryer. but I want to fix it , I am afraid it maybe gone damage something if I leave it alone for a long time. does any one know what is happen ? thanks.

[@MauriceNL1]

what dryer needs more than 60A??? Here in Europe all the dryers are 220 to 240volt but only like 10A or something

[@cloudstrifeification]

They don't need 60A! The standard electric dryer circuit here in the states is 240V/30A. That panel being only 60A is not big enough to handle the load. During the summer while the air conditioner is running if one cut on the dryer it would trip the main breaker. That panel needs to be upgraded.

[@daveg4963]

When I saw "stucco repair" I new it would be in California lol

[@QuaabQueb]

And confirmed when I heard "killer" and "stoked"

[@stanleysiewierski]

Lots of stucco in south Florida too!

[@matthewhall5571]

Chargèro don't forget he also used gnarly.

[@josecanisales3491]

Richard is funny.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 richard thinks so too.

[@saulgoodman2018]

The baby has more hair then Richard.

[@MRrwmac]

Mark, I thought I heard you say at the beginning that the crack was too small for regular cement because it had aggregate, but then you widened the crack for the mortar. Couldn’t he have just made the crack big enough for regular cement? I ask because I need to do this at my house. Richard, you and I are old school but cotton diapers aren’t used much anymore - haha. Didn’t you say in other videos that you didn’t like the crushable or corrugated bent hose for dryer exhaust? This was a wide open easy to access space so why not use the metal smooth style exhaust? Not criticizing or second guessing, just curious? Maybe I’m old school again!

[@zebra5591]

I think it all comes down to cost. In reality I home owner would just go with the cheapest thing they see

[@AStanton1966]

Stick with the Type-S mortar. It will bond/fill the crack better than regular cement with the aggregate.

[@loganthomson707]

Hi Mandy was a good night

[@cptspinach]

How do I get rid of stucco siding? I have an old house in Kansas with failing stucco, due to moisture, heat and humidity. I'd like to get it all off the house and replace it with fiber cement siding. How does one go about it without taking a jackhammer to it?

[@evanrocha5465]

You have to see what’s exactly behind your wall. It’s probably embedded in some sort of wire mesh, then there’s a waterproofing paper barrier behind it and then there the sheathing or boards that make up the wall(before you hit your studs). If you want to install Hardie Board or something similar you have to attach it to your studs through your sheathing. So, you must rip out all the stucco. You don’t need a jack hammer just a flat bar, pry bar, demo bars(all of different sizes would be best) and a reg hammer and a mini hand held sledge hammer and just start knocking it off. Just make you if you are doing it by yourself you work on a section or one wall at a time so you can demo then apply your tyvek or whatever weather barrier you are going to use so your home doesn’t take on water while your doing your construction. If you want you can message me. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

[@cptspinach]

@@evanrocha5465 Thanks for the response. It is going to be a heck of a job. I am talking with an exterior guy today! Fingers crossed!

[@charlesmcadory8286]

I thought you had to have hard flex for a gas dryer?

[@oambrosia]

Would seem logical given the vibration.

[@oambrosia]

@bill hill Talking about gas supply line, not the vent.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Hey Richard, the flexible vent could be a little neater.

[@TheMrcreft]

It would be awesome if the this old House team joined up with #teamtrees😀

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 yeah, go after that high spot, man....

[@kristiang3881]

Steel pipes for gas ?? We in europe use copper with press fittings for about 20years

[@nikolaibreckenridge2287]

Copper for natural gas is not legal here. Don't know about Europe, but we have Hydrogen Sulfide in our gas, which would eat the copper.

[@trevorfenlon4920]

should of called local utilities locating companie

[@thefountain6634]

Ok I have a question about the salor kissing the girl/nurse statue?? there is one just like that in Florida. I am curious is it the same story behind the Floridian statue??

[@1971mav]

It's based off a famous picture taken at the end of World War 2.

[@jasonjayalap]

Just dont tell the guy's wife.

[@jameshoward8544]

Im going to MAAAK it.

[@avrumisolaimani8546]

literally about to comment do you recommend gas work being done by a home owner when i hear “...only by a licensed professional” ya oh well

[@Newberntrains]

If your comfortable you can do it but to keep your home insurance happy get it inspected and tested or hire a plumber lol

It's easy to armchair judge This Old House, oftentimes they do not adhere to the highest industry standards. In this case there is flat failure to meet building code with the use of a louvered dryer vent and flex pipe.

WTF Who Digs With A Square Shovel Lol

[@mikez4132]

A homeowner that dosnt know a pointed shovel is for digging and a flat is for scooping lol..

[@erictold]

Wow. What happened to Richard? It’s a big mistake to use the flex vent. The hot air from the gas burner will burn it through. The flex vent is not designed to be used in gas dryer. Wow. Wow.

[@Aepek]

Don’t get why there’s so many “old” reruns w/in the “NEW” videos. Doesn’t make any sense to me.....as it says: New Video Grew up watching this old house, new yankee Workshop, etc.... Dont mind some reruns every now & then....but don’t lost as “new” maybe... Also, will we get 100% “New” videos in the future at all.

[@charlyrodzz]

I knew i had seen the stucco one before, i think it was years back.

[@toddhkennedy]

Dryer looks quite a ways away from the vent. Must have ran out of gas pipe and elbows. I never use that flex carp, hard pipe only. Easier to clean out and much safer.

[@bugtusslealien3931]

You've got to blend that crack repair with the stucco. As it stands it's UGLY.

[@FullSendPrecision]

All that crack needed was some silicone caulk and paint.

[@tonylee4522]

Agreed! Should Have Been Filled With A Flexible Caulk

[@ahgfl007]

But, you don't want to know about the births around my house. I've had 95 babies born here. All Cockatiels, which aren't the same thing as a human baby. BTW, there are 10 adults and 2 Quaker Parrots along with 3 very happy female cats. They all made the mistake of trying to smell a Quaker parrots tail and got it in the nose with that hooked beak. Think can opener when you think about that beak and its bite is 250 pounds which is like a K9's bite.

A plumber that is an electrician 🤯🤯 apparently he doesn't know ab sub panels. Highly unlikely they even draw 20 amp in that house since it has a 60amp service. My 200 amp draws maximum 30 some amps. Stick to ure plumbing. Let the sparkles do what we do best..

[@djenson]

"I was having to choose between the hairdryer and the air conditioner"

[@tedfisher1396]

@@djenson yes I understand that total. But doing some investigation should have been done with an amperage meter to see what the total draw is. I would have suggested a upgrade, 60 is way to small if u plan on staying their for any length of time. Hope ure happy though. I just dont understand how it's ok for a plumber to do electrical work. It blows my mind.

[@nikolaibreckenridge2287]

@@tedfisher1396 " I just dont understand how it's ok for a plumber to do electrical work." He clearly didn't. He simply assessed that the 60 amp service was not enough, and then did ZERO work on the electrical system.
