Thanks for stopping by with your comments!

If they are a fire hazard then why are they approved to be sold?

I would respectfully disagree with your statement as I am explaining to you how to go about adding power for a couch sectional that may be in the middle of your room. I also made videos of this entire project & you can find all the videos by going to my main TH-cam channel page then clicking on playlists & scrolling down to electrical & all the videos will be in there. Good luck & thanks for stopping by!

I have lots of sagging door videos that can assist you for sure. Go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to doors & they will be in there. Let me know how you do....thanks for stopping by!

Sorry you didn't think so. I made a few slat wall painting videos of this project & if you want to see others we did then go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to helping a youtube subscriber & you will find them all in there. Thanks for your message,,,,

Haha she just recently turned 88 & I drive down to stay with her a week or more at a time every few weeks to drive her around on errands & do honeydo list things for her around the house & take her over to her sister's house to work on puzzles!

@videojoeshows I knew you are a stand up guy.... 88, Fantastic. I'm helping my Mom, 80, who is amputee for a 5 days. Full of life and orders🤭.

@@PastorIhaza Ditto! Our Mothas did a lot for us when we were younger so it's time to pay it forward. I'm just glad we are in the position to do it!

@@videojoeshows Yes, for sure.

Haha you like that? It blended right in too since the walls were a grayish color plus the light didn't shine in our eyes going up & down the stairs. Thanks for checking out this video. Look at all the stuff you are learning!

With the tall ceilings I could put them vertical & in the lower ceiling area horizontal & so they didn't look all samey. I liked the fact they could also dim so of course I had to make sure they were on dimmer switches....even the ones that were on 3way light switches there are some dimmer switches you can buy that you can make them either single pole (for just one light fixture) or 3 way (for two light switch locations for same light fixture(s) so that's what I did in two locations I got the dimmer switches & wired them for 3way. Now some LED light fixtures may not work on dimmers at least when they first came out with LED & maybe now all LED light fixtures will work on dimmer switches but not sure so check your light fixture box to see if they are dimmable & if you have questions then ask a sales person in the electrical department......then you can control the brightness of your lights if you want to dim them. I like to put dimmer switches in the bathroom for the main light in there & you can adjust the dimmer switch where you want it then in the middle of the night you can just flip the paddle to on & the light is already dim so you don't have to squint at 2am!

Thanks for your detailed response...much appreciated!

Very interesting because years ago when I first started out in Residential we use to put 20 amp outlets above kitchen counter in the backsplash area & always used a 20 amp circuit & 12 gauge wiring for those circuits....thanks for your input!

Kitchen and baths are still wired in 12 wire and code is 20A but it’s perfectly acceptable to use a 15A receptacle. Unless you stepped up to a spec grade or hospital grade receptacle you’ll find most 15&20A receptacles are constructed the same internally with only the face being able to accept a 20A plug on a 20A.

Hmmmm I always thought I had to install a 20 amp duplex outlet if it was on a 20 amp circuit such as the kitchen area.....but you are saying it's ok not too?

A 15A outlet is rated for 15A, with a 20A pass through. That is to say that the 20A circuit is in continuance throughout the circuit, however the receptacle itself (the contacts) are rated for 15A continuosly. Any single appliance with a 15A plug will not normally draw more than 80% of 15A, or 12A. The total circuit draw (multiple appliances - same circuit) can be 20A before the breaker trips. A 20A breaker used with 12awg wire can feed multiple 15A outlets, one example is the kitchen. The reasoning is so that today's demanding appliances, which draw more current, can be used with a 20A breaker without the worry of nuisance tripping. If more than a total of 20A were to be drawn from the circuit, the breaker will trip. It should be noted that any circuit that is intended to be 20A must use a 20A recepticle. If the appliance were using 15A, it will be safe with the 20A breaker ( @ 80% = 16A). If it were to short, it will trip the 20A breaker just as it would a 15A breaker. A 15A receptacle can take 20A for a short time with no problem. The receptacle is overrated, otherwise it would blow up upon a short. A short circuit in actuality can be hundreds of amps in a very short duration. The breaker and receptacle are rated as "Time overcurrent" meaning it can take a lot of current for extremely short durations, and will trip on lesser currents that occur for a longer time. An example one can relate to (refer to chart): Joe plugs in two electric heaters in his family room. Everything works fine until 20-100 seconds later the breaker trips! Joe overloaded his 20A circuit, by drawing 40A! The breaker will allow this overload for a short time. If the overload were bigger, say 60A the breaker would trip faster from 10-35 seconds. If the trip was due to a direct short, the breaker will trip Immediately. Breakers actually have a "Load characteristic curve" that you can tell when it will trip in time vs current.

@@dennywires Dude you should make videos too!

You could be right & I have 3 or 4 shorter videos of everything I show here but I thought I would put them altogether for a longer one if anyone was interested in watching a longer video so thought I would put it out there. Thanks for your input!

So sorry! Hope you pass it soon!

Haha yes I made a shorter video & for this particular video I added all my prior videos for these two projects to make this long video in case some viewers wanted to see the entire projects for part of the Condo rehab. That cat stuff worked too as she stopped...!

@videojoeshows The cat video should get some traction. Especially, since it worked.

@@PastorIhaza Agreed!

Haha good 'ole Bob! Thanks for stopping by!

I've got more "Bob Ross" videos! Just go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down & have at it!

Yes as long as you get the right thread size. Thanks for stopping by!

Yes don't spend money for something you really don't need right? I have more spring loaded hinge videos for more learning if need be....go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to doors & they should be in there & there might also be a separate playlists for these hinges but not sure. Thanks for stopping by!

I have more AC videos like this for more learning! Go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to AC projects or something like that & have at it. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm glad I could do all the many things on my own & that's why I decided to make all these videos to let you know if I can do it then you can do it!

@videojoeshows Yes, they are a great help. I finally fixed one door that would close. After watching your door video, I went for it. I had to lower the hinges 3/8" so the knob tongue would fit. The other door to do next is more tricky. The door needs to go up, but there is no space to move up unless moving all hinges down. So I think I will just move the knob thing for the knob tongue to fit. Your video of you working all the time makes me think... NO EXCUSES, HET TO WORK! 🤭

@@PastorIhaza Haha yes get to work! You know I have lots of sagging door videos etc so just go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to doors & they will be in there.....Try it!

@@videojoeshows Thanks👍🏾

@@PastorIhaza Send me questions when needed

All you have to do is have power up at a ceiling fan location so just a light switch will do for where you had a light fixture. That's it....as long as you purchase a ceiling fan that has a hand held remote where most ceiling fans like at The Home Depot & Lowes usually now days come with a hand held remote so you don't need 2 sets of wires up at the ceiling for a ceiling fan like for one for power & one for a light kit. You don't need that anymore.....is that what you are referring to?

@videojoeshows ayes, I get that, but the box with the wires is only for a light fixture. I was told to switch it out, because the fan could fly off the ceiling... scared me to stand still.

@@PastorIhaza OK I see what you mean. You are referring to the actual light fixture junction box. Yes if you have a light weight plastic box just nailed on one side to a ceiling joist then you would want to replace that box with a heavier one. Sometimes though you might find that the existing light fixture box is a more secured one & the only way to know is to remove the light fixture or crawl around in the attic to see from topside. For me I guess I got lucky as the initial electricians had installed a heavy style ceiling junction box up there that was ready for me to install a ceiling fan on it after I removed the light fixture. Presto!

@@PastorIhaza The junction box should be heavy enough to accept a ceiling fan...yes.

@videojoeshows Thanks... yep, junction box is the term🤭. Need four fans throughout. I can do the fans but didn't want to climb into the attic, some much insulation to go through. Great tip, I'll check how they are attacked from below to see if flimsy or solid.

What is your AC actually doing? Send me a detailed message...thanks!

How old is your AC unit? What is it doing exactly....?

So awesome! Way to go...stud!

I have lots of things on my channel that will save you more money around the house. Just go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down & have at it! Try it!

No I just drank lots of water then took a hot bath & in the middle of the night I must've passed it all by itself when I went to the bathroom.....I think I got lucky!

First one I've ever had & haven't had an issue since...

Yes you are right!

I know! I still thought I should see if I could remove this particular brick & wanted to show you that if I could do it (an average Joe) then you could do it too. Thanks for stopping by yo!

@@videojoeshows Hey, you bet. It’s good that you did it. My initial comment was to compliment on how good a shape of the overall pavers are for 20 years. It’s still very level and no visible weed growth in between the paver gaps. Maybe it’s the way you kept it with constant upkeep.😁👍

@@peteryeung111 Not sure but I also did some other repairs to this driveway maybe a year ago before I made this video where the edges of the driveway were sunk down a bit because of an activity so I removed the bricks all along the outer edge & redid them & made some videos of that too you may want to check out. Go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to driveway or landscaping or something & you will find them. Thanks for your messages! Keep it going...

The power cable would have to be re-positioned in order for the side to click in & if water is leaking out then my guess is the unit is not installed with the proper tilt out to the outside. I have more videos of this install so make sure you watch all of them for more learning. Go to my main TH-cam channel page then click on playlists & scroll down to AC projects (or something like that). Thanks for stopping by!
