MY FIRST HOME // Concrete Gutter // EP. 11

[@curtdecker694]

It's so sad to see that he has given up on making videos for the 9000 house. I put a lot of time into watching those, and now he's just stopped.

[@shym9933]

Yes. It is sad.

[@Mikey83943]

He's one guy working on multiple projects...I think he's been working on this one recently.

[@stargateproductions]

@@Mikey83943 Sure but it's like he's just stopped. I'd lost interest about a year ago.

[@diamondperidot]

@@stargateproductionsokay that is your choice.

[@diamondperidot]

You put a lot of time into watching by your choice. He lives his life his way, not for you.

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

Maybe it's just a product of my personal challenges battling rainwater, but I find it immensely satisfying when to get waterflow going where it's supposed to. I stood out in the rain for about 10 minutes watching my french drain work for the first time.

[@socialkruption]

I really hope you grade or put some kind of drain for the water to get away from the foundation at some point. This is assuming you got a lot of water flowing in that section. Interesting idea regardless.

[@HunterTN]

It's just draining a covered porch, The only time this would be catching rainwater would be a storm with blowing rain.

[@ChimeExpress]

I agree. He’s gonna want to monitor that water from his new drain. I’m sure he will. Water is a FORCE, for sure.

[@diamondperidot]

Nice work.

[@Updation_Nest]

Great solution

[@timothyharley]

Awesome. Loving all the videos man. Keep it up! 👍

[@Mikey83943]

Every one of your videos are absolutely great.

[@johngeoffrey1863]

Smart solution to that drainage problem! Keep the videos coming!

[@alexwilson9311]

Simple and effective

[@herigonz0125]

I know you had talked about this solution in previous videos, but dang I love that it worked just as expected! Great job!

[@thesheff79]

Love it my friend. I use bifenthrin to treat a lot of stuff . It's good for a wide range of pests.

[@laineywright2696]

That drains well. Lets hope you never get a rain strong enough to have to drain away that much water at a time. LOL

[@homemadehome5575]

That is key, some are commenting about the water going where it does, but there's maybe once or twice a year you get a rain bad enough to get hose levels of water and in that case it's soaked everywhere anyway. In short, going off the side of the porch is better than behind the porch, through the wall and into the basement.

[@davecisneros5285]

Love this whole project you're doing. Taurus SC is great. I never met an ant problem it didn't solve with just a simple perimeter spray band. I haven't had a chance to do a trench preventative job but I wouldn't doubt it's effectiveness.

[@droxyy]

it works!

[@enjoying28]

Thank you for showing us how you did this.

[@65sheilakay]

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll❤

[@suerainey9250]

WOW! WHAT A COOL IDEA! Sending this to my hubs for his garage problems.

[@JRBWare1942]

You're an inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@stephenbembridge9118]

the gully is working great ...but where the water runs down at bottom of where water was running was it seaked there or could water get in behind??????

[@Valerie_Dawn]

I'm surprised you didn't create a concrete drainage trench along the side of the porch as well.

[@statewench2828]

Perfection right there!

[@freedomforusa1658]

Got it flowing. 😊

[@art1muz13]

Very good stuff, Maynard!!!! Keep 'em coming.

[@andrewpierce3200]

We need a update on the 9k house

[@joshdavenport5787]

Love your work!

[@Xairos84]

Great work!

[@Rule1336]

water trough es bueno idea and execution. perhaps you could then scupper that water past the house foundation instead of letting dump in that corner. be blessed y'all. Yashua Rules!

[@duffman825]

Cool idea

[@marchu50]

Nice video

[@pulsewound2677]

Love when ingenuity truly comes to life. Amazing work

[@marek196c]

not really ingenuity, normally man takes a self leveling concrete, pours about 1cm of it then creates 2-5% slope outwards. Even with the water from hose can be seen the water overrun gutter into the space between the wood and the concrete (4:36 just before the junction of the 2x8 which also should be insulated from the front and bottom).

[@almachapman5409]

Awesome

[@Jr-stan]

Outro is AWSOME

[@joejones3744]

What you can do next time is put your concrete in place, smooth it down, and then use a piece of PVC or length of pipe to make your water channel.

[@Keasbeysknight]

clean

[@realkoko-loco]

Nice

[@brianmoore5498]

ideally you drill 1/2" holes in the soil every 12 inches around your home perimeter for that taurus 36 inches deep. i just chuck up a length of 1/2 inch rebar with one end ground to a chisel for that. if you can find some chlordane that some old farmer has in a gallon jug somewhere thats the termite gold standard. wear gloves

[@d.pierce.6820]

please give that stray kitty a home...

[@thirzapeevey2395]

I like that idea. I really don't like the idea of concrete up against a rim joist.

[@familiewisse832]

😊😊😊😊

[@melissaroth4467]

What is Taurus SE?

[@terryg3469]

Ya , i thought you would have incorporated a drain into the concrete! ! ! ....

[@homemadehome5575]

I've got a plan, there's probably better solutions but there's a plan. Even if it ran off right where it does it's better than what it was doing.

[@paulabaker9809]

I am liking your shorter vtdeos

[@petervan1353]

Out of curiosity, how happy are the neighbours with working in the middle of the nigh, mixing concrete hammering and sawing like you life depends on it.....

[@homemadehome5575]

I work around when they are home or not and depending on what I'm doing. Also keep in mind it's winter and gets dark just after 5 so a lot of my videos it's not that late.

[@brendanconnelly1835]

I’ve been watching for years. TBH these videos are getting too short. Part of the reason we liked them was you talking/discussing what you were doing and I feel like these are moving away from that type of content. Just my 2 cents.

[@FatherForgiveThem]

Ditto, and I totally agree. I use to enjoy his talks afterwards even though he thought that a lot of people didn't. Although, I do understand it adds a lot of time to the project to make this content and I appreciate anything you are putting out, regardless if its less than before.

[@homemadehome5575]

I understand, but being equally honest and not defensive. I'm having a tricky time maintaining a KZbin channel right now. I've had a snowball of tricky times over the past 3 years and doing the best I can. My hope is that after this house and the $9000 is rented that I will be able to do better but for now I'm a little out of sorts and my videos are affected. Thank you for watching and your thoughts.

[@FatherForgiveThem]

@@homemadehome5575 In that regard, in my humble opinion, I'd shoot for quality over quantity. I am a contractor/home remodeler for a living and honestly, I couldn't imagine trying to do what you are doing, along with filming, all by yourself without help. Not to mention you have a family that you want to spend time with as well. You definitely have earned my respect years ago. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Take care of what is important in life. We will all be here when you have time to post.

[@dandrson7903]

Awesome
