Pro tips
You can reuse the baseboard but you can replace it as well
Easier to work on the floor and pull toward you and tap toward you, better control over block and hammer.
If I’m using ceiling joist can I reduce my seat to 2” and use rafter tie screws in the ceiling joist instead of rafters?
How do you find out what your pitch is? I am trying to create a lean to off my house and have no clue when it comes to all of this. I can build walls but never built a roof before haha.
If you need to find the pitch of your existing roof, check out this Short that I made:th-cam.com/users/shortseweoeGDg59A?feature=share If you're trying to determine the pitch of the roof you're building for your lean-to, then thats up for you to decide. You can make it any pitch you want.
No membrane down on sub floor 😂😂
@@carlbrady8845 Isnt always necessary. This is on an osb subfloor and the laminate has padding attached. If it was on concrete then a moisture barrier would have been put down regardless.
What happens if one breaks in the middle
@@tagglivevidzz6195 If a piece ever got broken or damaged so badly that it needs to be replaced, you would have to pull up all the rows leading up to it to replace it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did you install the underlayment between the subfloor and laminate flooring? I don't see it, but I hope you got it in place. The floor will be very noisy without it.
@@extracelestial9527 This flooring is 12mm thick and has padding attached to it so I didn't install additional underlayment.
@@ThouShaltDIY That's a nice feature. I'm glad I asked because I'll be buying kind in the future if need be. Thanks for answering.
Just subscribed. 🙂
@@extracelestial9527 Thanks! I've got a full length video coming out soon on how to install laminate from start to finish if you haven't done it before.
Nice. Good job 👍😂
Why is it hollow when u press on it? Is it always like that?
It's a floating floor, meaning it is not fastened to the substrate. It literally floats. Which is why it's very important to do good prep work to avoid any peaks or valleys in your substrate.
Excellent. Thanks very much. 3 and a 1/2 inches. Ok. Looks like a 2 by 8 which is what I am using for my rafters.
Great job, I really do not like that type of floor. It does not hold up well.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
According to the manufacturer you supposed to have at least 12 inches end piece. You barely have 3 inches.
Always complaining. It will be alright
Good job
Yall. Me and my wife aren't perfect. We argue sometimes. Our first and only time putting laminate down nearly broke us up. I'm not kidding. It was 96cents a sqft
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎯
My nail keeps going all the way in my nail gun before I shoot it ? Am I doing something wrong? Please help
@@genevievecadet4956 As long as the washer is keeping it from falling out it's fine. When you push the nail gun up against whatever your driving the nail into, the nail will he forced all the way into the barrel. Nothing to worry about. 👌
@@ThouShaltDIY thank you so much. I almost returned it lol
@@genevieveyouratlantaandnor8577 You're welcome!
Why don’t you allow for the 1/2” sheathing?
Will this still work if I don’t have a voodoo ranger?
@@MixologistGaming Haha, it's highly unlikely but you can still give it a try 🤣
*FINALLY* a SIMPLE explanation with various ways how to do the seat cut. Thank you! 👍
If you don't have this tool ( they are cheep to buy) you can use channel lock or even a crescent wrench, to apply the same pressure to accomplish the same results.
I used to struggle with Stringer's and birds mouth cuts. Took me some time to really get a feel for it but the speed square has saved my bacon so many times. Thanks for the video and yet another way for me to use my speed square. 😊
i worked 20 years framing houses and guys that knew the Technique would do anything to keep you from Learning that part!! anyway now i know the Technique THANKS tO YOU !!! thanks for Sharing!!!
Lined it up with 7, not 6...
@@markthirkell7056 From the angle of the camera it may look like that. Nevertheless, thanks for your keen observation and comment. It contributes so much to the helpfulness of the video...
Or, and hear me out, you could learn to use a framing square.
@@trevoraboussafy6900 In my full video on how to make birdsmouth cuts I show how to do this with a framing square as well...
With the framing square nuts tho????
Well i dont think thats the main reason the diamond is there, its to mark the actual(as opposed to nominal) width of a 2x4 for quick marking and many applications including the one shown here. But not "the" reason.. regardless thanks for uploading, quality info my man
What if it's a 2x6?
You would notch it at 5 1/2 inches instead of 3 1/2 inches.
What if it's a 2x6?
Muy bueno

Good demonstration
The real crime is having PVC baseboard 🤢
I run a miter saw at my work and I have to cut plastics and injection foam trim occasionally. I use a 100-tooth finishing blade so the only way to cut the trim without it melting is exactly this, just revving it to full speed and chopping.
@@AnAmericanComposer Exactly. I bought a 180 though fine finishing blade to try and even that didn't work when cutting it slowly.
Speed squares are awesome!!
@@hualni Agreed!
Machinist here, rule of thumb on plastics is slow cutter speed high material feed. This allows the blade to take cuts that make the chip take the heat with it instead of inputting heat into the workpiece, which is the name of the game in machining regardless of the material. Using a high tooth count blade on something like plastic will give you that kind of melting. To run it that fast and feed that slow, you'd want a blade with fewer teeth in lieu of running the blade slower or, as you did, feed it faster. Maybe not that fast though?
Or flip the blade
Could it be reused?
@@gamking7987 Yea, absolutely!
@@ThouShaltDIY thanks man!! thanks for the videos.
@@gamking7987Sure thing my friend!
Nice tip but why would you ever use pvc baseboard? Wood is king.
@@RenegadeAnno I like to use it in bathrooms, especially near the tub, where water has a high chance of coming in contact with the baseboard. PVC wont absorb water and discolor or rot over time.
Outdoor kitchens.
@@ThouShaltDIY Yea, that makes sense.
Boats. Patios. Boat garages. Outdoor kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor showers, rvs and vans, just to name a few practical applications
Friction creates heat, heat melts plastic, brilliant!
Pretty simple but never thought of it. Im used to using those gauges on a framing square, never thought to use it on a speed square to make it... even speedier 😂 love it man!
Got a couple of those on a regular square, because two of those turns a regular square into a speed square.
Just use more water. No need to go diagonal.
and will attaced water line flex pipe first to focet and then add sink , so it will easy mother wishi not enough room to do so.. try next time ( I did it)
i wont disconect sink drain pipe or water line from sink but i will desconect from botom pipe
Just drill into a tile with a normal sharp masonry bit at 600-800 rpm without impact.
Of course it’s gonna crack your using an impact.
...I used an impact and it clearly didn't crack...
You're* using bad grammar.
Why are we drilling with an impact though….
No shit
I didn't think I would have a problem doing it with an impact...looks like it worked out just fine.
Im glad I didn't have to watch a 40 minute video and I can just watch yours thanks for the help!
@@OSOK90-gg Yea, I try to keep them short and to the point. No need in spending 30 minutes explaining something that can be done in 5. Thanks for warching!
