The world could use more entomologists! Look up Doug Tallamy. He's a rather famous entomologist right now, and a best selling author, trying to save the bugs, the trees, nature, and the world. And he seems like a pretty cool guy too.

Here's a tip. The next time you have to cut heavy gauge wire like that, if you haven't gotten yourself a ratcheting cable cutter, take the cutters you've got and twirl them around the cable as you squeeze them. It will help to cut through the wire more easily. The strands usually have a little bit of spiral pattern to them, so twirl your cutters in the same direction as the spiral.

Years ago we bought a house and I noticed that we had flickering in lights and sometimes outlets wouldn't work. My husband wasn't into home repairs, so I investigated. Every single screw in the panel was loose. Tightened 'em up (didn't know about torque), and everything was working normally. Odd!

@RehabLife4 ай бұрын
Usually the shower pan mortar bed is a little more wet and it’s typical to use felt between the plywood and mortar bed. This prevents the wood from wicking out moisture too quickly and allows you to more easily level the base. As for the floor being unlevel outside the frame, it’s typical for manufacturers to require piers along the perimeter walls because the outriggers don’t provide enough support. Over time, the floor will sag outside the frame and cause the issue you are having. There isn’t much you can do after it’s been that way too long.

Tip for future: In a pinch, you can use your reciprocating saw to cut thick wires. The trick is no not apply heavy pressure. Just light pressure, especially if you're using a blade with 24 or 18 teeth. Let the blade do the work, and you van get a pretty clean, smooth cut through the wire. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos. 👍

Hey Doug, most mobile homes from that era had 100 amp service and the wire would have to be changed when upgrading to 200 amp service the reason I am mentioning it is when they come to inspect it should you ever sell it they will pull the meter and require it to be changed and make it extra difficult in extra steps to be completed to get recertification before new meter reinstalled ask me later how I know this lol so I would check out wire size now to make it easier to pull in if needed than later when all wire in box and walls and finishes are done and maybe looking to get a tenant in there you vetted to be good or a qualified buyer with a loan to close and this could cause your wallet to fly off or lose sleep lol anyways hope your on the good side and it already had 200 amp service before you started just don’t want that to happen to you guys or anybody really everybody knows how much effort you guys put into everything you do to be as good as possible and I’m sure we all want nothing but good things for you and your family and love the progress on the cars and everything
