Not the prettiest trap but good job on the sink. Always wondered how they were secured to the wall.
“The branches go toward the spout. If you put it the wrong way the handles turn the wrong way.” Thank you! I don’t have branches on mine but I’m sure I can figure it out now
Thanks for your comment, is one marked hot/cold on yours? Its very common to have one of the H/C bodies marked so they dont get installed backwards.
@@HomeownerDIYoh yes, one is hot and other is cold. They’re in the correct hole except my hot handle is turning towards the wall instead of towards the user. It’s not so detailed as to how to position the inside cartridge.
@dianabasmajian3872 So the cold turns toward the spout and the hot turns towards the wall? They both turn clockwise?
Very good video thank you
it's safe for the engine not using distilled water for flushing?
Thanks for your question, l would say yes its safe. The manual says nothing about the type of water that can be used so l dont think it would be an issue. I have been doing coolant flushes on this car this car since 2008, never ran into a problem using the method shown.
So wait. Why would you need to get both when you can just get the security ones and use them for both?
Thanks for your question, the regular came with my socket set. If youre going to buy a set, buy the tamper proof set only.
I will be really appreciate if you can answer me a question, my friend has a very old house in Canada Quebec, there’s a 1.5" vent pipe in the end of a tolite (beginning of the main 4"pipe, and theres no vent pipe behind either the tolite shower nor sink, is it normal? thanks for anyone who can respond
Thanks for your question, is the piping original to the house(Metal piping)? Codes have changed over the years. Are there any drainage issues?
This is an awesome video! I’ve done break pad replacements before but just was seeing if there was anything funky or out of the ordinary with this make and model. Even though it’s a pretty basic replacement I watch your video all the way through just because the detail of explanation. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I initially replaced the zone valve motor which did not fix the issue, and when I opened up the valve it turns out the ball had totally disintegrated. Easy swap, everything works again 😊
Happy to help!!
Just FYI, on the distributor if you remove the plug off of the metal stand that holds it in place then the plug will come apart. There is a tab that is under the metal part that holds the distributor on the plug itself.
Thanks for your comment, I will keep that in mind the next time I have to work on the distributor!
You're a legend, man. Thank you!
Happy to help!!😄
I need help with my table saw, it turns on but stops and the breaker will trip, I can smell a little bit of burnt
Thanks for your question, it sounds like a dead short. Have you tested the motor?
I’m about to change the circuit switch, let’s see if that will fix the problem, I just ordered so it will take a few weeks and I will get back to you, thank you for the reply
@jaimemoreno3998 Please let me know!
@@HomeownerDIY hello 👋, brother I just changed the switch circuit and still not working, it looks likes is going to work and it just stop running
I haven’t used this table saw at all only a few times and it’s not working
Super straight forward and to the point. Truly appreciate this quick video.
Thanks for your comment, please check out the plumbing playlist, its quite comprehensive!
@@HomeownerDIY I am working on redoing under our kitchen sink. Our dishwasher is connected to our cold water lines… I have no idea why that happened. We also live in a mobile home with well water, so our lines are the grey Poly B throughout. I know we have well water and the connections that I’ve seen are solid, so I don’t have any real concern about other areas of the house. I am more or less just planning to get our dishwasher on our hot line and put a stop valve with a 1/4 compression if we decide to upgrade our fridge in the near future. I am planning to use two of these adapters to tap into the water line coming from under our house, after the stop valve. I am going to use a 1/2 blue and red PEX line from that adapter. I am going to use a turn stop with 1/4 on cold PEX for fridge and turn stop with 3/8 on hot PEX for dishwasher. I also found an adapter to go from PEX to 1/2 female to connect to the faucet. Sorry if this is a confusing message.
@lrodzen The DW was probably crossed by mistake. Is there a hammer arrester(Bumper) on the supply to the DW? If not make sure you install one. I personally would rerun everything in pex. The barb of the fitting is different from poly B and you cant get poly B fittings anymore unless you reuse. If you need any help: Ask away!
Thanks for the video and work you put doing it. Some of the Amazon items you put on sale, shows not available. How and where did you learn roofing skills?
Thanks for your comment, which items are showing as not available? They all seem to work on my end. I spent 15 years in construction, from that time I learned to "Steal with my eyes" for alot of things. I paid attention to how others did things. A lot of the time if you asked nicely people would tell you what the code is for what they're doing. I think the single biggest thing for me is the passion to learn how to do other things. One trade will overlap another to a degree. Keep in mind this is overall about 20 years of experience at work. Another way of learning is seeing how things were put together when you take them apart. You just have to make the distinction when you see incorrectly done work as well.
Any need to anchor it to the floor with concrete screws?
Thanks for your question, in construction we never did use concrete screws. We never failed for it either. You can if you want, but its not needed, atleast not where l am.
Good stuff. Appreciate it. Your audio and enunciation was better when you were outside on the roof 😅.
Thanks for your comment, l am too poor to use a mic at the moment. As for my enunciation, when l was inside l think l was at 11 hours for my working day. I pushed to get the base and cap sheet done assuming my help was coming the next day. It didnt happen so l did more work than was necessary. Welcome to working for yourself!!
For the 6:16 harness, firstly you need to take the whole thing off horizontally, then it’s much easier to take the distributor connection off
Thanks for your comment, I will keep this in mind next time l need to work on the distributor.
That whole area needs to be removed and redone. It needs new metal in the valley starting where the top valley is slide under it with new metal the. Redo the shingles. You can’t just wedge a shingle under there , temporarily it may work but this is hardcore amateur hour all around.
The remarkable thing is l said in the video 3 times, its not a proper fix, l dont have authorization to do a proper fix and youre saying its amateur hour... If l said it 4 times would l have gotten the message across? Oh wait!!! I technicially did say it 4 times because l also wrote it in the description its not a proper fix. The take away from the video is you cant have nails in a valley.
Right
@@HomeownerDIY If I came across that, I would say this whole thing needs to be redone and refused to try and throw a shingle in that valley. that is a joke, that is amateur hour. I would rather not do a job then do it wrong. you do you. I'll say it three times if you'd like.
I would never neeger rig any job like that
@@HomeownerDIY It's not a proper fix, yet that is how you fixed it. I am aware there should not be nails in the valley but you dont fix it by covering it with a shingle.
The problem,your shingle to the right of the valley that slid under the step flashing. That shingle should also slide under the same upper valley as the first shingle. The amount of water coming down the valley is going to work it's way under that second shingle and possibly the first shingle from the damming effect of nowhere else to go. That's just my opinion. Everything else looks good for what you had to work with for a quick fix.
Thanks for your comment, I agree it should of went under, I think there was a nail holding the flashing down so I couldnt slide under it. I think the area just to the bottom of the upper valley was also lower creating a pocket for water to pool. I guess at the least I could of cut it the shingle back to allow water to flow down. Thanks for your input, I will keep it in mind next time I come a cross something like this.
17:27 - he doesn't say it, but put cap on and close the valve, then take car for quick spin around the block
Thanks for your comment, since l cant see the film till after l finish the job,sometimes l do miss mentioning things. Thanks for pointing it out!!
I forced it for 2 years lol
Being a Honda, it kept going!!😌
@@HomeownerDIY honestly got a $30 one off eBay so hopefully this one last a good 4-5 years as long as I grease it because the last one was caked in dirt and dry as hell🤣
Make sure you spray it with silicone spray! Especially if the car is parked outside. th-cam.com/video/QDUyICh_zIE/w-d-xo.html
What a great video. I may need to replace my 20yr old frigidaire and deciding if i want to install it myself
If you have any questions, please dont hestitate to ask!
What fuse is linked to this side marker light? The bulb is fine, but the left side light is out. Can’t decipher what fuse is associated with this bulb.
Thanks for your question, a post on a Honda Forum says its #29.
@@HomeownerDIY thanks for the answer, but that didn’t seem to be it. The mystery continues…. ;)
Use the process of elimination, go through the 10A fuses one by one. There is nothing on the diagram on my car that says what is what. I have 2 right and 2 left head light fuses....🤨
@@HomeownerDIY yet, that’s a head scratcher. I guess it’s a way for Honda to get you into the shop…. lol
@@a47mlb Those no good nicks!!
🤔 good point, never really gave it much thought on the pitch
Thanks for your comment, apparently l was the only person to figure this out in 10 seconds being on the roof.
Nice. Bravo.

3:20 transmission fluid flush??
I am sorry, what is the question?
he misspoke
I'm trying to repair my 1997 Tacoma Extra Cab's oil pan gasket, but the rear of the pan looks nothing like that. I want there to be a dust cover but instead it is a thick piece of iron with webbing, I'm afraid it's part of the transmission, I have an automatic tranny. Is that a manual? I can try and take a picture. But I am vexed. 3:22 into the video.
Thanks for your question, its an automatic. The cover is the flywheel cover. Feel free to send a pic. The email is under the "About" heading. Does the engine look the same from the top with the hood popped open?
@@HomeownerDIY It appears my last comment was deleted. Weird. Here is the pic I took. I don't think YT like people posting links in comments for I don't know why. zettix.com/taco/IMG_20241009_161323458.jpg
@@HomeownerDIY Hello, I've replied twice with URLs but YT just removes them. I have a pic on my web site, and a pdf of the repair manual. I'll send both links to you, but your email is not in the description.

I saw the pic that you posted in the comments, can you take another one more zoomed out? Its too tight to see what part of the engine the pic is from.
Thanks
Great video
4:20 so besides cleaning that section of the engine why did you take this sprocket out?
Thanks for your question, l only took it off to clean. You dont need to take it off. Chances are you will knock it off anyway in such a tight space.
Thanks, we will see what happens
@@RoseGalliart If you have any questions, please come and ask!! I will do my best!!
Great preventative job!
There is also another seal on the distributor shaft that is prone to leaking. You should replace both when taking it all apart.
Thanks for you comment, where is the other one? I dont remember seeing another one.
@HomeownerDIY you have to remove all the internal parts then you can slide out the shaft.
Thanks for your response, my Civic leaks oil every where. If l did a rebuilt then l agree, replace the seal as well.
Toilet has to be downstairs steam or lowest fixture in the bathroom group. Bathroom group should be in the same floor level. Everything has to be on the same level with 1/4 per foot slope. Your second example is not up to code. First is good 👍🏼
Thanks for comment. In Canada, both examples shown are allowed. Here either lowest fixture has to be the toilet or symmetricially connected. Of course, different places have different codes but both shown are legal in Canada.
I wanted to buy this machine, can you please share your review?? Since it doesn't have heat air drying option
Thanks for your question, l was only paid to install the unit. All l can say is l didnt hear any complaints after my install. Please check online reviews for this unit. Hope that helps.
Straight to the point no BS. Thank you
Very detailed video. Thank you
I believe this is called MDF. I might be wrong.
Thanks for your comment, yes its MDF. No matter what the material is, following this principle will ensure you dont break out the opposite side of a cabinet.
Thank you so much for this video! Saved me a few hundred & instructions were very easy to follow!
Glad to of helped!!
Does the 3 to 4 inch rule apply to 1/2 inch drywall? Or was it 5/8th? I probably need to just buy some and test it myself lol. Thanks if you have input though
Thanks for your question, l would say it works for 1/2 or thicker. 3/8? Not sure why anyone would use something so thin to begin with...
Thank you for the refresher course!
I can't get the 1 touch auto window on drivers side to work on my 98' Buick Regal. Tried the hold down afew seconds after window down, then same for window up but no luck. Anyone know how to reset this?
Thanks for your question, so the window rolls down but not back up? I have never heard of a reset for power windows.
@@HomeownerDIY all windows work like they should just the auto 1 touch isn't working for the drivers like it says on the window switch button.
@@meep2059 It sounds like an issue with the switch, could you flip the switch to the passenger side and see if you have the same problem?
Yea buddy b grateful you got that kind of mileage on the truck!
Also, great video! Very well described!
I just followed the same process today with my Toyota Tacoma 2004 3RZ-FE engine 2.7L 4 cylinders 2WD/RWD. I used the Fel-Pro cork rubber gasket model OS30642C, but the oil pan is still leaking. I am concerned I may have overtightened the cork-rubber gasket, which caused the rubber-cork gasket to break and thus broke the seal.
Do you see if the gasket has been pinched any where?
Hello, I'm from Brazil, can you help me? My table saw is new, it's been used for two days and it's not turning on anymore and there's no burning smell in the engine. Could it be the ignition socket?
Thanks for your question. By "ignition socket" l am assuming you mean electrical outlet? Where you have plugged in the saw, have you tried a lamp? Plug in a lamp, turn it on amd see if you have power.
@@HomeownerDIY Yes, where I connected the socket, there was power, it was working and the next day when I went to turn it on, it started to want to work and turned off and now it doesn't work anymore

So it doesn't even matter that the pipe isn't soldered to the flange? Mine was.
Thanks for your question, youre saying the flange was soldered to the pipe?
@@HomeownerDIY Yes. It was difficult but I unsoldered it last night. Today I'll put a new one on properly. If soldering is not necessary that's great. Makes the job simpler for me.
