[@MathMan271]

MORE of Russ Gibson for This Old House please!! He fits really well with the crew/cast and would be a good transition as Tommy swaps in and out

[@pf5658]

It’s always nice when you remove a wall that’s not load bearing and not have to deal with all the temporary supports.

[@PJJ196]

I love that dry ice system really is amazing.. love the projects where it’s Tommy’s and his brothers company leading the charge.. really great stuff.. these episodes have been very entertaining

A likeable man, Russ.

That dry ice system is awesome. Great idea!

[@fadetounforgiven]

I got to work with one of those almost 20 years ago and there is one thing to know about them before using one: they are as effective as they are dangerous. Very. In this application they're cleaning wood, so they are actually not using the machine to its full potential, not at all. I got to use it cleaning welding machines at a car parts factory (I remember they made pedals and so). These machines use point welding, so sparks fly everywhere and remain stuck to other metal parts of the welding stations. They were no match for this cleaner, however, it was configured to deliver some speed and it did. Mind you I hardly used it, I was, most of the time, the guy refilling the tank with dry ice. Even so, I was a couple of meters behind the other guy, wearing eye protection and a leather apron over my working clothes. One might think there would be no need for the apron. Wrong. That apron was a bit too short for me, so there was some space along my legs below the apron and over my working boots that was only covered by my working trousers, which were some kind of grey jeans or whatever, some kind of strong material, or so I thought... except for the fact that even given the fact that I was behind the other guy, a couple of meters or so as I mentioned, the particles that came flying off the welding stations were like needles hitting my skin in that part. BTW, I don't know how the other guy managed to do so, but he hurt himself on his left arm with the machine. He accidentally pressed the trigger and he received some dry ice for a split second on his arm. He was wearing his working jacket and the ice went throuh it like butter and he got a wound that would be somewhere between a second to a third degree burnt. These machines are great at what they do but, again, they must be used very carefully.

I have a lot of trouble with the simpson hanger screws snapping when driving them in, never made me feel very good about using them. They're too hard

[@IM-iw7wd]

THATS CORRECT!!!!

[@byronwatkins2565]

Why not apply the adhesive to the new joist while it is on the horses? Not a large saving, admittedly, but easier nonetheless.

[@age_of_reason]

I don't understand why builders in America are allowed to build homes without regard to any rules, regulations or codes and get away with it. Isn't there an inspector that has to approve the build before it can be sold?

[@rupe53]

there is inspection required for plumbing, electrical, insulation, and any load-bearing structures that all must be done before drywall and painting. I'm sure there are other inspections. There's also the permit process where you need to get an ok on your plans before starting.

I find the siding guy explaining how vinyl siding works to Tommy, like Tommy hasn't ever installed the stuff in his 4 decades of building. 🤣

[@yogiberra808]

And you don't hammer the nail all the way in so the siding can move, right after the guy pounds it all the way in🤔😂

[@rupe53]

4 decades? Tommy is older than you think! If he started as a teen, he pushing 6 decades in the trade.

These are for tenants. If you own it and live there live on the first floor. Or do like I do and let the tenants have the shitty house and I live in the nice one away from them. This is an investment property, it's supposed to be "like an apartment"...it is!

It's nice that grandpa Silva has a rule of thumb for joist size, but that is *absolutely not* how you correctly size a joist. This is why carpenters and engineers are different people...

[@kent223]

I'm a structural engineer and his rule of thumb isn't too far off.

[@kent223]

@@Kevin-mp5of it's not some huge structural issue. Sistering joists together makes it super strong and reduces deflections.
