Thanks buddy! Happy pre end of the month birthday 🥳

Thanks 🙏 I personally used 3” construction screws and made sure they were hidden behind the rail

Thanks for joining in near the end… if you go back to earlier videos, you’ll know this is a rental unit… and an old one at that, so the walls and ceilings are very old plaster and wavy and sketchy af… this isn’t a complete renovation, it’s a clean up and repair. If you understand the rental market (especially old buildings) you’d know pulling old plaster or skim coating a whole unit has no long term return on units like this, so repair and patch is where it’s at as far as the owners (my employers) are concerned.

😂😂 oh ya?!? Well your floors are stupid!

@@A.G.T.A Aint got none, my house is all roof.

@mathiash6525 then I’m surprised you didn’t like the floor, we actually used shingles

@@slyfly4829 ya the newer tubs are a bit of an issue for that… I usually trace a jig to get the proper cut for them. Glad the install worked out for you! 👍

You have to purchase it separately

Haha good luck! Just need a good steady hand… and if it’s under the base trim no one will see anyways 😜

Very likely

It’s a tough racket when you get bad tenants that’s for sure

@@danbartstow9829 the mold is from indoor gardens… there is a unit above… and the mold is surface layer on the old plaster (wipes off with cleaner)… this was a middle aged gross dude… sponsored through community housing initiative… we actually saw him when he came back and tried to enter the unit… we have our hands full with this one for sure… the renovated reveal will be coming in a couple of weeks

We have been doing work for a customer with about 60 units or so for the last 10-11 months… so all of these bad ones are from them… unfortunately great landlords, brutal tenants 😞

Thanks 🙏

Ya I definitely have to buy a new pool vac this off season… I’ll have to consider the Polaris

There’s a button on it for both the fan and the light… of course you need to make sure it has power

Too late buddy… already put most of it back together and have the slight tickle in my lungs to prove it 😬 have a great weekend too Pete! 👍

Believe it or not, this building is actually less than a minute away from multi-million dollar homes… it’s strange how government assisted housing can degrade an area or complex… the dude that lived in this unit completely trashed it in less than a year… he obviously has serious mental issues

Spray foam is the best bang for your buck and would provide the highest R-value… in your instance the least amount of air flow under that flow would be most helpful… also some type of thermal break… typically any flooring that won’t transmit any cold easily

😂😂 thanks buddy! Have a great weekend!

You might want to try again on that comment… there is an edit function…. And yes, if you have too much dust on the drywall it will collect in the primer and affect the finish… but what do I know, I’ve only been doing this for a while 🤷‍♂️

@A.G.T.A I don't care of you've been doing it since you were on your mama's tit it's unnecessary to dust off anything other than the corners.

@A.G.T.A try to keep things a little more natural... You're acting is awful

Every keyboard warrior is an expert at everything… thanks for the acting advice too… considering I’m not really acting and this is more of a vlog, your wonderful advice is wasted on me

@A.G.T.A you were trying to act 🎬 in the beginning and you failed miserable. Don't take it so hard 🍆😂🤡

That’s a very smart compromise to get the ability to properly insulate the plumbing. I’ve had to do similar things in basement renos from time to time

We just moved the downspout from draining at the front where the garage is to the other side of the house where there is grass. We had to change the pitch of the eavestrough to allow the water to drain to the new downspout location. When you move a downspout, you either have to replace the portion of the trough that had the hole cut through it, or repair it with a piece of trough and seal it up

The only way to fix doors with this problem is to either pull the trim and adjust the shims by unfastening the doors, or making adjustments to the door/doorway… in this case we pull the bottom sweep off of the door, shaved the door down a bit and put a new sweep on it. We adjusted the depth of the hinges slightly as well and used longer screws to fix the loosening which caused a bit of the issue… be careful with going crazy with one fix as temperate weather causes the opening to swell and contract and may present another issue

Sadly it’s not going to be done until sometime In the spring… this pool season is almost over, so there’s no point in finishing up a cool outdoor bar this year just to give it a good shot of winter

It’s the only way to go through the day Pete 👍

It totally was… I wouldn’t recommend doing it 😂😂

Ya it’ll work fine in a basement, but it’s just more expensive overall than fibreglass insulation, so it should only be used in situations where you have strapped walls and not in 2x4 or 2x6 studded walls

@@A.G.T.Athank you very much 👍

You’re very welcome… you’ll need a cable connector for 12/2 wire… I think it’s 1/2” connector… and yes, the plastic spacers come with the unit, just remember, the thermostat does not unfortunately… Hope this helps… good luck with the install

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oooh I’m blushing 😊

Aren’t those worth money? Other than the obvious face value 😜

Yeah but not a gold mine. It’s just interesting to learn the history of the building.

Are you suggesting they should upgrade to this mirror?

I’m guessing they weren’t supposed to end up inside the wall though?

Haha it was definitely a strange find!

So weird… I did notice one time on an old house reno that there were some razors in the wall… but nothing like this one… there has to be a few hundred in there

@@A.G.T.A From what I was told there is supposed to be a receptacle back there to accept the used razors.a lot of the time pople never emptied them or touched them and many people just put an opening in the wall and forgot about the collection portion 😂 good reason to wear gloves!

@mrgrassninja I found a couple of needles too, so the razors are a welcome surprise in comparison 😜

Very welcome 👍 I hope it helped and you’re enjoying your new privacy wall!

Ya that one got a pretty good overhaul

Ya I’m on the fence for selling it or keeping it… and I’m generally a fan of a nice piece of wooden furniture with a good dark stain… but I’m still deciding on that too

No matter what you decide it’s a win either way.

Happy to hear! 👍

Do you guys find the niche takes a lot of room and makes it pretty tight to shower?

@leytonjohnson5420 it feels like it might when you install it, but it really isn’t bad… you get used to it pretty quick

😂😂 if he wasn’t holding the camera I might have been in trouble

It’s a mystery 😜🙏

This is used on a tub (so there is no pan for it) if you are using an acrylic shower surround kit, some will have a base that is made by the same manufacturer, but you can use another base. You just need to make sure you seal the bottom of the wall where it meets the base.

@@A.G.T.A Awesome, thank you!!

Ya Tyler cut the video off a bit short… it was an interesting escape 😜

You and me both! 😜

Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of the plans as I did this off the cuff without a plan… I can tell you that it’s basically making a straight and level ledge on a full plywood wall and then attaching your worktop (in this case I used 3/4” plywood) using sturdy hinges… then at desired intervals (depending on how strong you need the worktop) have supports attached with hinges to the wall (make sure that the thickness of your ledge that you attached the worktop to is slightly thicker than the thickness of your supports so when you push them flat to the wall, the worktop hinges can clear them and lay flat against the wall. Having levelling legs on the bottom of the supports will account for a garage floor that isn’t level. Again I’m sorry I don’t have plans for this… I hope this helps… if you have any other specific questions, I’ll be happy to answer them for you

I told him if he keeps torching brushes he’s buying his own… hopefully now that I told him why he’s messing them up, he’ll fix his mistake

This is his 3rd one I think 😜

Some solvents have chemical reactions with the rag that causes spontaneous combustion… when the rag is crumpled up and allowed to gather heat… in this case it was in a cup holder so it was a perfect condition for the reaction… lucky I caught it in time

Thank you very much 🙏❤️🔥

Thank you very much! You’re right… it’s hard to keep the truck clean when you’re as busy as we are flipping from job to job 👍
