Ask This Old House | Concrete Walkway, Jimmy DiResta (S17 E10) | FULL EPISODE

[@MaybeDave]

Never miss a DIRESTA episode!

[@Ramdodge582]

LOL, wants to show people how to build this without a jointer then pulls out $1k festool domino.

[@jgg204]

had the same problem in front of my house. i used patching cement to eliminate the trip hazard, dug out the crack, injected with repair mortar to fill in deep, then used flexible concrete filler up to surface level. sprinkled concrete dust all over the crack fills to blend. dug out sides, sealed sides with repair mortar, used sealant between surfaces. let cure. painted (2) thick coats of portland cement. let cure. applied 2 layers of concrete sealer. this was 12 years ago. it's still fine

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

nice job, but sounds simpler to repour new sections 😂

[@shirleysenkler781]

Love how the table turned out. The top looks like 1 solid piece the way he matched the grain of the planks.

[@michaelwagner3952]

Always happy to see Diresta back on the show! Cheers!

[@robedwards4006]

you four guys are life savers.. wont make a move with out your advise! thank you!

[@samtheoutdoor]

When Jimmy says "we gonna scrape the end and give it a good sanding" trust me I laughed. Little did Jimmy knows he's about to give a good torture to Kevin as Kevin hates sanding.:D

[@SureShotImages]

12:30 “Back in the day”? We still cut and thread today. All the time!

[@thebluelibra5686]

The needless extra joints using the precut pieces seemed ridiculous to me...more joints is just more chances for leaks...besides the expense of all those precut pieces, when you could just buy stock pipe and cut/thread/fit at the jobsite.

[@thebeardedtradie9433]

Always gotta watch when Jimmy is on!

[@johnroberts9560]

[@mitchelljao]

When milling the boards for the table, why didn't they plane the boards first before jointing on the table saw?

[@timothymbess]

Typically, when you use a jointer+planer, you start with the jointer to ensure one face is perfectly flat. Then you flip the board and plane the other side so that your two faces are completely parallel. In this case, however, they're not using a jointer so the faces are not going to be 100% perfectly parallel. By rough cutting the boards down (especially that live edge board) you're removing more of the peaks and valleys towards the ends of the board, and (hopefully) giving your planer less variance in height to deal with. In either case, it's not really a huge consideration since the rustic nature of this build doesn't require the table top to be completely flat and square on all measurements.

[@justinwoods240]

Do you think you can put a cedar or pressure treated walk way in so it won’t rot?

[@justinwoods240]

diver dave well either it depends if you maintain it with either a dealer or something you know

[@mnight207]

I do not recommend using a BAGSTER unless you are prepared to give all of your personal info....everything short of a DNA sample. But bagsters are good for lining your truck bed which is what I use them for when I do clean outs

[@chaccyyy8303]

Hey TOH I am a teenager looking into starting in the trades. Just curious what trade type does Mark do? Seems pretty interesting.

[@tempesttube]

www.thisoldhouse.com/cast/21116923/mark-mccullough He’s a mason.

[@DanDeLaiarro]

Always love when Jimmy is on!

[@murphywant2wrestle]

Can’t find the table base kit online

[@iamthepeterman54]

Love it!

[@firefighteremt9]

Oh, there’s Jimmy. Glad he’s on TOH!

[@ryantheentrepreneur4040]

Love the show!

[@aje9518]

How about a link to where you get the legs and apron

[@SHKEKEKE]

www.tablelegs.com/

[@SHKEKEKE]

They posted this clip as a separate video back in January and the sources were cited in that video. Diresta has mentioned this company before as well

[@reforzar]

Great to see Jimmy again!

[@microphonixvirtualstudio1634]

I believe this Ask This Old House videos are the most profestinaly made on KZbin.

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

Just curious if you guys have ever done a show that deals with how things have changed in types of equipment since the 70's and how it might be easier or harder when doing a house fix or renovation.

[@bwmartens]

Love these episodes with Jimmy!

[@amiramin82]

why this old episode is being shown as new???

[@DannyFourSquare]

Love the episodes with Jimmy

[@saulgoodman4769]

You know how many times I've seen sledge hammer heads fly off the handle? Enough to know better than to stand 3ft from someone swinging one.

[@eurekamarijka]

Had a maddock head fly off the handle twice while breaking up 40 yr old packed rock in the driveway. Freaking scary.

[@7511fsm]

Holy sunburned Batman!

[@nalurash2787]

Anyone else just skipped to the Jimmy part? lol

[@saulgoodman2018]

You can use a hose, you don't have to wait for it to rain.

[@oscarlandag1831]

Hose washes it out something about the consistency of rain fall just makes if settle in better may be a steady vibration effect idk

[@Freestila]

So is steel pipe the standard for gas pipes in the us? In Germany they use copper tube and lress fittings, which is fast, exact and also safe and reliable.

[@JeffGloverArts]

ANYTHING DiResta gets an automatic thumbs up.

[@PatrickPoet]

First, Jimmy DiResta's not too fussy is better than a lot of people's fine work. Just sayin'. Second, didn't you already show the Diresta segment? It seems really familiar.

[@kylefogle6022]

No plumber is using nipples to install whole systems. Mega press is an alternative to threading pipe, but even then, pipes are still cut to length and fittings are pressed, same as pro press for copper. As an alternative, some plumbers use corrugated stainless steel pipe which comes in a roll and is installed in a way similar to electrical wiring. As a plumber in the SF bay area, I can tell you most plumbers here including myself are old school, still cutting and threading with ye old ridgid 300 or 700.

[@hayderhayder-ls4sp]

Let's hear this ask how sir Jimmy DE rester war with the ham and scraped now I have idea how can I milled and how all reported and I can build in table 2 and in project is very good

[@jimkellt5358]

Did you have a stroke my man

[@tmsaskg]

Those concrete slabs could be used for a shed base for someone in the neighborhood... It was quite strong just to crush and dump it.

[@joeduffy9764]

Jimmy!!

[@percival23]

Jimmy ordered the legs & apron on line? ....what planet is this?

[@geraldbrooks2763]

#theresjimmy

[@theedrstrangelove]

Sick of this maker culture crap. We just did it. Not be hipsters about how we are better than everyone else.

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Never hold a circular saw at the base like that...unless you have $50,000 for a vascular surgeon to reattach one of your fingers...plus he's not using a push stick on the table saw...sure he's got a Saw Stop Table Saw but if you're showing amateurs how to make an easy project, at least use proper safety techniques...we know Jimmy's a pro but he's setting bad examples

[@Ramdodge582]

the table saw method seems... like a waste of time. if you have a table saw then you have a circ saw, build a track for it and away you go.

[@YS-by7wy]

Here for DIRESTA.

[@percival23]

Oh yes, lets use brick ...this was in 2 years you have 46 mini trip hazards.

[@strawbarryred]

"CAUTION'-- this kind of work is the leading cause of -- CALLUSES and-- Hard Heads-- sore backs and butts

[@amandahug-n-kiss3749]

He's no expert . Wtf PBS

[@scottwolverine3062]

I'm sorry but this diresta character, with him putting his name all over EVERYTHING! is not THAT great at what he does. I mean anybody with basic woodworking skills and welding skills could EASILY do what this dude does! Norm and Tommy would blow this guy outta the water with their skills. I don't know why hes gotta plaster his name on every square inch of his equiptment and shop to do this kinda basic work. get off your high horse pal! Am I the only one who feels this way? Bring Rodger back too!!!

[@amys1885]

I 100% agree with others discontent re: Diresta He's used TOH to do nothing but advertise HIMSELF. It's nauseating

[@SgtSpritzalot]

in every episode plumping looks like centuries old in usa... im glad we have some standards and some quality and secure stuff. especially your toilets... wax ring???

[@Ramdodge582]

where some gloves while working with stone, your ladies will thank you if you get my drift.

[@BigHayes7771]

That brick job is horrible will be deformed in no time just use concrete

[@funkyflashfive]

Or lay the brick correctly, so many problems with their method.

[@troybush5899]

What would you do differently to make it "correctly"?@@funkyflashfive

[@funkyflashfive]

​@@troybush5899 Assuming that the original base was actually deep enough, I would use road base to get close to the correct height, compact, and then use the stone dust in a layer no more than half an inch deep to screed off for laying the brick. The screed board notches would be cut so the brick will lay ever so slightly higher initially, and once screeded you do not disturb the height by packing as shown. The actual laying of the bricks looks ok but shouldn't take that much work with the mallet unless the brick are very inconsistent. I would use a masonry saw to cut the brick to fit against the sidewalk rather than try to chip them, but that's a minor quibble. Once layed and the edging is in, I would use polymeric sand to fill the gaps, then compact the brick to settle them even with the sidewalk and step, then sweep in more poly-sand, blow off the surface and wet with a hose according to package directions.

[@the_jonathan_o]

Another repeated episode.

[@nikocasual5126]

Kevin and Diresta both don't fit well together, they are talking about different stuff und it's a cringe

[@donaldpowell7762]

Jimmy!!

[@riverrat1149]

Jimmy!
