I Can't Believe I Messed Up Again!

[@williamhayter2998]

Wow nice side-by-side Christmas gift from the family! But I think the grandkids are going to use it more than you will. What great memories you and your grandson are making together.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

We are having a lot of fun on it

[@rickramirez2220]

Wow! Seems like we just maintenance these machines a couple of months ago. Man! how time flies.🤯 Love the channel. Keep’em coming.👍🏽

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It's a blessing and a curse. Thanks for watching!

[@rodwhite4492]

Hi Tom, I’ve done several epoxy tables and each one is a learning experience. I use the same deep pour epoxy and use a paddle mixer in a drill on low as well as scraping the sides as I go. I set a timer and actually go a little longer. I can’t remember if you checked the moisture content of the wood, but it’s really important. Ideally only use kiln dried lumber, and even then, check it thoroughly. I know you heat the shop, but ambient temp plays a big role in curing. Fiberglass Coatings, who makes that epoxy is really helpful with technical service. They got right back to me last time I reached out.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much really good information

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

😢 that door was looking good. I'm sure you'll get it figured out. Nice maintenance video 👍

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks almost there

[@troyelliott9465]

Great to mess around in the shop. Love that gantry, would be a great video. To explain how you use yours for your equipement, etc... Be good, Be safe. Cheers

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks, that’s a good idea for a future video!

[@johnsandell4501]

Nice present! ENJOY👍👍👍

[@GVJack1065]

You have everything set up level on that door. You could get or make a router sled (lots of youtube videos) and with a surfacing bite remove the bad epoxy and refinish it

[@fredcory2686]

Just a thought on the door - go to harbor freight and pick up a cheap electric hand plane - will be cheaper than a sheet of good skin plywood, take very shallow cuts to remove the top skin of epoxy, and then you can sand smooth and poly the river side.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That’s a good idea everything I tried just gummed it up

[@jimdomoradzki3309]

An enclosed side by side with heat would be preferred . You should put a protective cap on the exposed positive battery post to prevent your wrench from contacting it and ground and causing a spark. A spark can cause a battery to explode.

[@threepointservices-tractor4832]

Have you tried wiping the uncured areas, on the door, with xylene? Xylene is one of the best solvents for epoxy.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes, did not cut it

[@keithburch5506]

Tom, do you ever run a magnet through the oil to see if there is any metal in it? I had a '73 Chevy Cheyenne Super 10 years ago right before I got married. It started missing bad, so I did that and there was lots of metal in the oil. I sold it instead of having that problem on my wedding days. Turns out it was pieces of rings out of cylinder #4 and pieces of a couple valves. How fun that was riding your new side by side letting your grandson drive. The most, best memories of my life involve my kids and grandkids. They truly are gifts from God. Love that never stops giving and receiving. Now, I never dreamed you'd have this much trouble with that door. This is crazy. I've absolutely no knowledge or experience with this, but I just knew you would handle this with ease. I'm really anxious now to see you figure this out. A true mystery to me. You're pretty good working with one hand, holding the camera with the other - thank you. That means a lot to me. Pain to you, pleasure to me, so thank you again. Getting the oil filter back into place with oil in it was tricky. Looked like you had no trouble at all. I too, think it's a good idea to pour a half quart of new through the block to help remove any particles that didn't flow out the first time. For sure didn't hurt anything!! I like watching the machines getting serviced. It leaves me feeling good, even though none of the machines are mine. But it does, really, makes me feel good. The huge winter snow that came up from the Gulf Of America completely missed my house - thank You Lord. Did you see where Bill Gates came to Trump's house and they had a meeting!!!??? WTH??? Oh man, that can't be good. It happened just before the inauguration. Just after that meeting the two main vaccine people RFK hired to safe guard us from vaccines, got fired, Oh man, this can't be good. As much as I like Trump, He is after all an Oligarch. Thought I'd leave you with something to think about. Thanks Tom, I enjoyed the video. I can't wait to see the door completion.❤

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Some of my drain caps are magnetized. I always wipe them clean and see what’s on them.

[@jakeschisler7525]

Here is a better way to change the oil. Get a shop vac put it where the oil is put in, turn it on and then get down below open drain plug and then turn off the shop vac. I seen someone do that on their excavator and it worked fine. Do you have a portable sand blaster to use on that door? Not sure if that would work or not but cover up the part you don't want to do it on.

[@stevehoover16]

Thanks for the video

[@jamesyoung4633]

I think leaving the + terminal on is safer because there's no connection to the ground if the filter or wrech contacts the + terminal.

[@littlehuey5679]

Try a 40 grit belt to remove the epoxy ?

[@larryleerssen2562]

How about taking door to mike morgans friend & have him use his panel flattener , take off the resin & recoat fresh Not the cheapest but fresh surface Good luck

[@Gschurig]

tom u can make a router sled an use a router to plane off the surface look on KZbin how to make one you can clean the finish off

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Not enough hardener. Thoroughly mix. Play with your mixes and go a little heavier with hardener. If it was deep poor epoxy just let it sit longer. Needs heat. Everyone goes through that.

[@peterhenderson3694]

The screen looks like the one in my water separator bowl for my Kubota.

[@davecornette6188]

Power mixing with a drill is recommended with epoxy for 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Scrape sides and mix again for 1 minute. Use a Jiffy Mix paddle to avoid extra air entrapment. I would not hand mix again.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Do u and the family all live right there in a little cul-de-sac type area or something? thats cool if so

[@wayneroland8220]

I don't think you could use a hand power planer. Would stay even enough. You will get it. Good luck Take care

[@chrisgerard384]

With the CAT on the thumbnail, i thought the mess up was going to be diesel in the hydraulic tank again. Sorry about the door though.

[@ronnieferguson5706]

Try using diesel fuel to flush old oil

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I don’t think I’m thrilled about that idea

[@toddpacheco4748]

Tom,how come nobody is helping you with equipment maintenance on the equipment that you and your team have to make money 😮😊❤

[@ronallen6578]

Morning Tom, Looks like I'm 5th in line today. It's been worse 😂😂 A couple of comments. You can bet the genius that designed that engine NEVER changed a single filter. Until manufacturers require these brain dead people to actually work on THEIR work, it won't get any better 😢😢. Good time to clean both negative and positive battery terminals and throw a little Fluid Film on them. Finally, the door project----either scrap it totally or just start over. It's been fighting you and you can only repair things so many times before it looks like crap. It's not a criticism of your ability by any means, but like anything there is a learning curve. This is why I've never tried this and have NO desire to. I consider myself a pretty competent WOODWORKER and not a plastic worker. Either way you go, I wish you the best. 😊😊 Coming back for an addendum. Trust me when I say that in my 68 years I've had projects, like "your door" that went bad. And in all honesty it was at that time it became "PERSONAL" and I didn't care what it cost, I was going to kick it's ass. If this is what this has become, then go at it. Had I have been been smart enough to heed my own warning, well you know the end.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I understand completely what you’re saying I feel there’s still hope

[@ronallen6578]

​@@ConcretewiththehausesHope you're right. Good luck. I've been there since the 1st video with Mike and I'm not planning on going anywhere😊

[@s10er8]

Did you go to World of Concrete?

[@Kaswolfie]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ori8218]

No oil samples?

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Not yet!

[@scottfrazier131]

I love Toms videos but I can’t watch anything with him working inside that shop. My ocd gets the best of me. Man that place is nasty! Surprising, usually guys with nasty shops and trucks typically doesn’t take a lot of pride in there work. However Tom seems to do great concrete work.

[@bradley-concrete]

MOTHBALLS WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!! ive always wondered what the heck to do to keep the mice and rats out.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Hope it works for you.

[@jerryward9840]

Hey grandpa. Where is your helmet😅

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes, you are right

[@camokid130]

Try Grandpa Gus mouse packs

[@rockcutroader9813]

what a waste of oil, you do realize that is filtered old oil. I'm 80, I was a mechanic, all my life. 2 tablespoons of old oil, WILL NOT hurt your engine !!! ???, my god man.

[@ronallen6578]

Tom's suggestion makes total sense to me.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I’m sorry, I disagree

[@thomasryan8218]

You're living back in the old days, I'm old too and I totally disagree with you.
