I tried that method on other parts of my garage and doesnt work due to tall ceilings 10ft and there is a tiny space to feed the cordage and cant get the angle from the outside. At least I couldnt

Frustrating!

Glad I could help!

If you are nearby ill do it. Find a handyman. Not too bad of a job

Do they install them for you as well?

@@AllHomeDIYDad they don't, wish they did and brought a case of beer

@@LongJonSilver305 cost is in the labor for planting larger trees. Takes a lot of work and machinery

@AllHomeDIYDad o wow yeah i see you put alot of stone in.. looks great.. I went with a shovel and mulch.. only did 6 of them tho lol

@@LongJonSilver305 six would be much more doable and cost effective to buy large ones.

Such a frustrating spring issue.

Where im installing the latch pin? Its the hardy board siding. I think its half inch thickness but the 2x6 is at the bottom so screws go through and into that.

@@AllHomeDIYDad Is that the same size as the board on the left door that you used a oscillating saw on? Thanks for your help.

@@wadekruse4462 yes. Its the same panelling. The hardy siding is very nice and easy to work with.

@@AllHomeDIYDad In your video you are installing a wood piece on the back of the left door so when the right door shuts it will hit up against the left door once you latch it closed( left door as if you are standing in front of the shed looking at your doors). What size is that board? Sorry about the confusing questions.

@@wadekruse4462 ohhh!!! Sorry! Its just a peice of scrap wood I had. Anything will work that is 1/2” thick or more by about 3.5” or more wide. Just something to screw in to stop the other side from going in too far and keeping them flush

I dont have it. Did I not include the size in the video?! If not I apologize. Its about 5-6’ long and 2-3’ wide

Great question. What I did was have a separate long ethernet cord that I plugged into the camera and then to my internet and connected it to my system before fully installing so that I can hold it up a d view it on the app. So its basically installing it before fully attaching it to the soffit. Can only do it if you have enough extra ethernet cord to make it from your poe switch to the location of instal. Does that make sense at all? Feel like I didnt answer that very well

You are welcome

@@nikolaiv1138 all depends on year and market and location and the type of arbs. This was landscape company so def higher

Ahead of you Craig!!! Starting last year (year 2) I did maybe 1-3 waters per week depending on weather for much longer duration. Along with periodically fertilizing with Milorganite. A couple are 5ft tall!!

@@AllHomeDIYDad Perfect ! One thing the general public doesn't know is that all trees shouldn't be fertilized regularly with a nitrogen base. The growth spurt you got isn't wanted, { it will lead to disease later on.} Slow & steady is what you want. A light application of Osmocote in the spring is all ya need. Making these plants grow fast will lead to toppling in the years to come. { Also, pruning is essential for building a strong frame for taller privacy.}

@@craigathonian so you dont recommend continued fertilization with Milorganite? If I do it every couple months from april to september for the life of the tree that wont be good? Is going from 18” to 4-5’ in 2.5 years too fast?

@@AllHomeDIYDad Yes, This species is known for having a small root system and fast top growth...which leads to toppling of the whole plant, or limbs breaking in storms. Especially in a single row, Regular shape pruning will force the tree to grow a candelabra framework which is stronger and at the same time force the tree to grow roots. Try looking for a fertilizer that contains more phosphorus and potassium than nitrogen. Look for "bloom Booster" fert's which has a higher "phosphorus" center number out of the 3 number codes on labels. With that all that's needed is a spring application. { For trees, Nitrogen in mediocre amounts is like humans having too much sugar...it will always lead to sickness in the long run.}

You can do anything he can! And probably faster. Us husbands are slow.

Glad it was useful for you! Thanks for the comment!

Mine are emerald. No closer than 2.5’ apart if in a line and full sun and watering and fertilizing. If doing staggered then do wider. Putting a drip line is is key and fertilizing often

@@AllHomeDIYDad I appreciate the answer, need to decide what to do. I still have time because I will start this next month. Have a good week 😉

One door would be wayyyy too big and have to swing open way away. Would be obnoxious. I used to have the one top open roll up door. Those work fine. Mine broke. Like opening a door much better than pulling it open.

Sorry. Cannot remember. I check the manual for what it recommends for mosquitoes. I feel like its 4oz per gallon but I could be off

Agreed!! Much better option. Can even instal in two spots and move it with a few bolts if you wanted

Good tip! Yes the skulls were awesome to work with

Hi! Great question. So it all depends on the weather. Its usually cold around halloween where I live in MN. So the chillbox doesnt have as big of an effect because it hard to get the fog cooler than the air temp when it comes out of a heated up machine. But its suppose to lay lower to the ground and not dissipate so quickly when it is chilled. Better effect. More spooky. More fun. The warmer it is outside the better the chiller will work. With no chiller it will still look cool but the fog will rise up and disappear faster as it will be warmer than the air. Hope that helps

Thanks for your quick answer. I will definitely try and build a version of this! I guess you dont put the smoke/fog machine inside the coffin because of heat/fire safety? My problem is that here we usually have like 45 F and rain... Maybe put the smoke machine under a roof and use a long pipe to the coffin?

@@chra186 yes I have same issue. I put it behind the coffin and put a little cover over it in case of rain. You could run a pipe but its not as effective with the fan pushing the fog and air through that pipe to the coffin. Wont come out as strong

Must be a different arb. These get 5ft wide so why would you want 8-10 ft for a privacy hedge. 2.75’ apart and will be nice solid hedge. If I had no watering system and not a lot of sun I would do it different.

They were like $15-25 each at about 2ft tall. Getting close to 4ft now!

@@mynamedoesnotmatter737 nahhh. The amount of sand in there and soap and excessive water doesnt let the weeds really grow as much as we thought.

A handyman likely would have it done in 15-30 minutes provided he could find a stud quickly!

Thanks!!!!

Whats so funny? They will grow to that size. Have neighbors with them that tall

@@AllHomeDIYDad From my understanding, Green Giants can grow up to 60 ft or more.

@@morefunfamily6500 not my type. Thats crazy tall lol

@@AllHomeDIYDad Yeah, I saw below you said Emerald. Much more reasonable size!

You got it! They are still going strong. Monthly fertilizing with Milorganite.

For sure could work on a deck! Thanks for the comment!

Do you think this would work with pvc pipe instead of galvanized pipe?

@@candidelarose possibly but pvc is very bendy at that size and would sag a lot and look pretty bad. Maybe for a very short span.

Sorry what to you mean by top pieces? Like the base to the umbrella or the top of the actual umbrella?

Lol good one. Not accurate though!

Too much. Way over budget and paying for it

lol good one

Way over budget. And we are paying for it

Maybe it cant be done on your?!?

@@AllHomeDIYDad perhaps.

Go for it! Whats the worth that happens? You put in a hole that needs to be patched? And im sure your joists can handle the kids weight if done properly. Also if you have the ability, you can place a 2x board in the attic across a few rafters and use lags to fasten to the rafters to spread the weight out over a few vs just the one!! Thanks for the positive feedback!

Minnesota (in best MN accent I could do)

Great question. It will still come out but it will be much harder to come oitnif it was over tightened with a drill. I would suggest using the allen key but maybe get an adjustable wrench and attach it to the end of the allen key to give more leverage when loosening it. Remember lefty loosey righty tighty.

I appreciate your concern. This cover is year round. ASTM safety certified auto cover. Rated for thousands of pounds. Retracts open and closed in 20-30 seconds. Closed whenever we are not outside. We also have a child gate from house. And live on dead end cul de sac. No one in our community has fences. All covers.

A good option! I could not find one there that fit my dimensions and my wife hates the roll up. Also dont like how it sits inside the frame. Moisture gets onto the plywood bottom all the time.

​​@@AllHomeDIYDadI poured a slab for mine. Yeah it wouldn't be as good for a plywood deck. I built mine 12x16. Knowing where the door would go I put a very slight slope to that area.

Thats awesome to have a slab under it!

Lol is that the old term?

Lol you must not know much about pool chemistry. You realize the “water” you drink likely went through several thousand other peoples digestive systems right?!? Its all treated. Filtered. Balanced etc lol

Its closer to 7 months. We are in MN. Cant swim from early to mid October to early to mid may unless you want to heat your pool every single day just to swim when its 55 degrees out and 40 at night. Part of living in the north

@@AllHomeDIYDad lol. I live in northern Ontario. May till sept. Pools open!

Awesome if you wanna pay the propane/natural gas price. My wife and kids get too cold either way when air temp isnt high enougg

Arborvitae trees. Is transcript off?

@@AllHomeDIYDad yea your subtitles didn’t pick up the word correctly lol, give it a watch

@@null7879 happens. I guess I have an accent, hey?
