How do I start this type of furnace for the first time?
Thank you for quickly explaining the the lever , put to “set” position.
My rough opening is so narrow (interior) I can’t find any advice! I’m gonna have to use two pieces of lattice wood and Brad nail them directly to the opening to make a jamb! I know this is wrong but what else can I do?
Those holes are for expansion and contraction. Use them and don't listen to this guy
Great video!; we would like to collaborate on your future window project.
You didn't say how to turn the water off in a mobile home
Umm how do you turn the water off??
Main water supply valve at the house. Normally just outside the house or underneath
Hi Randy, I have a leak on a pipe under the mobile home going to the second bathroom (can’t tell yet if it’s shower or toilet/faucet). Do you know where a shutoff valve would be maybe under the house to prevent water from going to this section? Have to shut off water to the entire mobile home to stop it unless I find a specific valve. Shutting off faucet/toilet doesn’t stop the leak from continuing under the house
Thanks, today it was 111F with 35% humidity, it was blowing around 92F air in, my house is 96F. I think it was a tad too hot for the cooler today.
I didn't see anything about the water pump in this video.
It makes me sad that someone has to leave their mobile home exterior in a deteriorated condition because they don't have the money. Probably spent everything they had on replacing the skirting. Thank you for doing such a tremendously nice job on installing the skirting. I hope that every time they look at it, they'll feel a lot more pride in their home.
It's 2024 and our bathtub broke right as my oldest finished his shower, which was excellent timing. However we live in a very old trailer so we cannot afford a pro. Thank you so much! Lol your video is very helpful.
You made it look easy thought it was more clo. Complicated
What if just my faucet part became detached from this? Is there a way to re attach a new faucet to it
Thank you
Did you say anything about the window opening dimensions? Was it 46x54 and you put in 2 single hung windows to replace 1 MH window? Thats what it looks like.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much
Why not use a roof jack?
What height is that?
Thank you for your clear video presentation and explanation of the drain system!
Where are the traps? What prevents gasses from coming up through the drain system?
That's what I was wondering. I have a smell in the bathroom but don't see any leaks. Most plumbing has a vent to the roof for gasses.
When I turn my water off at the main water cut off the water still comes out of the faucet, I forgot and left something soaking in the tub and when I went back my tub was had overflowed and it was water everywhere, I had to pull out the carpet in the hallway, and 2 bedrooms.
How much those a installation like that cost
Thanks for the video. Now I'm ready to tear it down. Except, that "nut"....is a bolt.
Laminate flooring is going to fade and discolor from the sunlight after just a few years
You are still helping people a year later. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much
Great video thank you!
Do I have to drain the water pan each time after daily use? Do I leave the water ON after use or do I have to turn the water OFF after use?
Thank you for watching my video. No, you don't want to drain it after each use. You only drain it at the end of the season when you are ready to turn it off. You can leave the water on. The pan fills to a certain point and automatically stops filling, it will add water when it is needed. Great questions to ask! :)
This is the super cheap very short term use of sofet material. It dose not meet fire codes and insurance requirements. As you can see the damage rot to the siding. I'm in the process of replacing the siding now, because of this. The slots are there to fit a loose nail so with hot, cold it can move and not buckle. The siding is damaged from water traped. Bottom part could be cut out and replace with an aluminium trim and new siding.
Don't
Where do you put the water at
Where do you put the at
from the looks of that plywood at 0:35.... you might want to sharpen, or change your saw blade!!! =)
It would've been nice if you showed the glazing beads cuts, because one side end of the gb is cut straight and other is cut 45 angle, also when installing the glazing beads they go in a certain way to fit properly. And on the bottom of the frame there are 2 rubber plates a few inches away from the bottom corners to rest the botton of the glass on each plate which will allow the glass to be vertically top and bottom evenly spaced then you can square the glass by holding it as you did to rest on the double glazing tape. Otherwise it's a great video...
You made that base, but you should’ve put it on some little legs or maybe just get a base out of metal because if that thing ever starts leaking all the water is going to get trapped where the base that you made because you sealed it so the water is gonna get trapped or make some drain hose
You skipped the installation part ...
Nice
Where is the ac condensate drain line?
My swamp cooler is on top of the house. Where would I find these settings for the swamp cooler. The management company uses the swamp cooler as the central air conditioner. I hope that makes sense, the best I can describe it. Thanks in advance!
Randy, As a beginner, you skipped too many steps for my liking. Thanks
if in a state that goes below freezing do they still runs plumbing underneath?
Randy can you tell me where you got your tub from. Is it difficult to change the drain from a center drain to a left side drain.
Thank youuuuu
Well, thank you. I’ve never done this before but the neighbor replaced one section for me, but I have mostly the whole mobile home to do. it’s a mess and it’s pretty much open in the winter time. I have to do something with it now. So now I know how it all goes together. Wondered how in the heck he measured these things, but he didn’t measure. He eyeballed it. I’ll measure and the top on mine is screwed down and the screws are rusted and I need to replace that. so I think I know what I’m doing and I may watch it several times so I can figure it out but that’s really great. You make it look easy, but it can’t be that hard either. Glad to see.
Waste of money.
Excellent. Thanks!
This is done very well simple and straightforward
This man is awesome, but the building materials in the usa are so cheap and flimsy 😮
