You have to drill at least 2-3 holes to let the pressure out. Drilling through the grout is way easier and safer for the tile
Whatsup man, have you dealt with riverside county? What can i expect building my new home?
@ghettotroof riverside county is exactly who I dealt with. I have some videos on plans which was the main thing for permitting.
Hi, I have a question about some of the subs you used in building your own home. Is there a way you can share them with me? Thank you.
@@GalaxieProperty where are you building?
Hi, I have a question about your grading plan. Do you have the contact information for the civil engineer you used? Thanks.
@@GalaxieProperty i responded to your other message. Let me know what city.
Dude, those concrete bags were a wild find. I love your property
Hey whastup man, do you still keep track of your youtube? I am looking to build in the vicinity (tememcula valley) and have some questions was wondering if i could sit down with you or something
Concurs with what I know. I live in NW Florida and lots of sand dust in the air. I hose mine down about every other day to get the dust layer off and it makes a difference. I don't scrub unless a bird decides to poop and it hardens. But I do see a difference in output after the rinse, particularly if I got lazy and it had been a few days.
so it runs without fuel, didn't see that in the installation, regulators, etc
I'm introducing a product/solution to Bull Nose corner issues within the next 2 to 3 weeks.
That could be cool.
nice home, one of my dreams is getting rich and buying a large piece of land int he wilderness and custom building my own home.
The Name of the Game is the Double Scrub.... alot of the things i encounter ...can be scrubbed off...instead of filled in ..
Why didn’t you drill at the grout line instead of in the surface of the tile?
I think that would be preferable however my tiles are 24"x24" and hollow sounding only in the center. I had my doubts about the fix-a-floor pushing all the way into the center with a seemingly solid thinset bond around the outside.
@@paulkelley86 I was logged into wrong account, that's me!
my plan is to mix a extra thin (watery) grout mixture, pour into 3mm grout gap between tiles, then use an air gun (compressor) to blow it hoping it injects itself into the hollow spaces. Will use quality wide 3M tape to keep it from shooting back out. Once i get it “full” then will use an epoxy based grout mixture to get extra sttrength. My tile guys were cheap, and so too the quality of their work. WARNING. For those using tile levellers DONT skimp on the tile adhesive/thinset. MORE is better. Live & learn
I was wondering, why didn’t you call the tile company back and have them fix it?
Fair point, fix it as in come and break the hollow tiles out, jackhammer the old thinset off the concrete, and reset it, come back the next day or two and grout it? Massive inconvenience and this was an easy fix that has lasted. For someone else, calling back and doing the longer more intrusive repair may make sense, just not for me.
@@paulkelley86 I was logged into the incorrect account, that was me!
@@paulkelley86 I know the feeling, glad it worked
I live in Escondido and had cherry trees right next to my papaya and mango's, how crazy is that But I got hit with a fruit fly that wiped out the crops 100%, so got rid of them Have only recently decided to give it another go, but same problem might have to invest in a bunch of traps next year Looks like you have some wind exposure , so maybe not a problem for you Great property with room to grow
@honemorrison4013 yeah they are doing great still, for sure substantial wind in the afternoons here, La Cresta area of Murrieta. I like escondido!
I always cover any irrigation pipe because it's very easy to boil the crown when it first comes on
Yeah thats a great Idea. I did try to bury in mulch but one way or another they end up uncovered. I think a better practice also is to irrigate in the early morning when the water and pipe is cool as well.
Where did you get your paint brush? I have kitchen cabinet the same color. I did buy the paint from the manufacture. I notice my stain is so light. I will probably need to do it a few times.😮
I got mine at home depot but there are tons of options elsewhere and online.
Have porcelain tile what type bit would be better
I used a masonry bit
Great explanation. I just bought 18 acres in northern CA, there are a bunch of walnut trees I need to remove. Any recommendations who I can hire or reach out to help me get simple grading permit
A local civil engineer who is familiar with the area and the permitting agency (county or city)
My quesstion is, WHy post this like "Hey youtube watch me kill a rattlesnake and call it a copperhead"
Finally someone who knows how to deal with a snake
You probably voted for Joe Biden too
Lol, people who vote for JB are not likely to be working outside where rattlesnakes live.... they are likely to be on their phone looking at youtube videos of other people working outside...
@@buildyourownhomecalifornia I suppose you drive a prius and drink white claws
@dongfloppin22 hummer and chocolate milk. 😘
If you don't know the diff between coppers and rattlers, you'll learn from the bite venom. 🤫
I wont, because I have no intention of that venom ever entering my body. But you were right on the assessment of it not being a copperhead. What would you say it is? I have a lot of rattlesnakes and they are not that color.
@@buildyourownhomecalifornia it's a rattler, but I don't know what kind. It looks like desert there, so it's out of my jurisdiction. 😄 I see copperheads most often, tho, they're very distinctively copper and brown swirled pattern, very smooth skin compared to the scaly rattlesnake. A very pretty, shy snake, will probably flee fast unless you step on it. I only see pygmy rattlers, (rarely) which are less than two feet and pretty bluish black. Copperheads also have a mild smell to them. But rattlers have far more toxic venom, copperheads are simply *get an antibiotic shot unless allergic, but it will hurt and swell painfully, from reports. I've been bitten by a wild, small king snake, and that was enough experiment! If you're bitten and don't see the snake, look for fang marks fast!. U-shaped or razor cut mouth bite is non venomous. (But still hurts!) 😊
SMH. Clueless people. 1. Rattlesnake not copperhead. 2. Why did you kill it? Fkn liberals
A couple of ignorant morons. That's a rattlesnake, not a copperhead. And leave it the f alone.
City folks, so stupid! I'd hate to go elk hunting with them, they'd shoot a 6 point horsee😂😂😂!
Why did you kill it. That was stupid
I dont know... if I were to leave it and be bit later... what would that be? Or someone else bit... would that be stupid?
No such snake exists, doofus. That's a western diamondback.
That's not a copperhead, that's a rattler.
Pretty chicken shit to hold it down and kill it. It didn't do anything to you. It was probably just looking for food. Ever heard of catching it and releasing it?
Poor desert rattlesnake all he wanted was food :(
I asked it to kindly relocate.... it was unresponsive to my request. Had it been further from the house, I would have happily let it help with my gopher problem.
@@buildyourownhomecalifornia haha you still killed it :(
Hi I’m a local about to buy land in the area and was wondering if can ask a few questions to help get a better idea of what I’m getting into.
How local?

Can you cut birds mouths on the tgi’s??
To be honest, I was totally focused on framing at this time but have done a million other projects since then and this is not what I do professionally so I'll answer the best I can but I want to tell you that up front. I vaguely remember my architect saying not to birds mouth cut but instead use blocking to support. I'd say no.
That was your left hand.
Can black jack be used over old silicone roof . I've used several coats of 100% silicone still in a section leaks
I am a DIY'er and sharing my experience. My roof has been great but I was really just doing a maintenance recoat, not fixing a leak. I recommend speaking with a professional roofer.
Sorry that reply was from my other account.
😈 *Promosm*
looks like la cresta area??
Yup, you got me.
Why did you put foam wrapping on the pipes?
It is to allow some movement inside the concrete, mainly for temperature change. It is the code.
Bubbles would be proud
I just did the baseboards in our bathroom. The center piece is 1” across the front. I learned to make a fully functional sample comer assembly that when placed on the wall corner, enabled me to make the cut lines on the wall. Then the long pieces can be marked and cut to those lines. I just batched out several center pieces at 1”. On shortens runs, I used CA glue and regular wood glue to pre assemble. The CA glue provides instant clamping while the regular glue sets. I had 100% success using this method.
The big dog knows there's no threat with the coyote running off with his tail between his legs meanwhile the ankle biter is all like " let me at em" 😅
What paint did you do on ue stucco
I prefer to leave stucco unpainted like I did in my new construction. BUT this house was already painted and I am painting it as we speak. Sherwin Williams loxon primer with duration outdoor flat latex. Turning out great. The only thing better would have been to leave the stucco unpainted and keep it clean so it is a maintenance free finish.
Looks great
What did you use to waterproof the deck?
It was multiple parts, First it got a membrane right on the subfloor, then flashing, then lath, then a "dexotex" type waterproof lightweight concrete, then an epoxy paint. Lots of people have problems with decks like that so I used someone with tons of experience.
hey, can I get the drawings to study?
If my tiles were loose enough to remove, which i did, can i use fix a-floor to just glue it back down without having to remove thinset and all the old cement from floor and tiles?
It doesn't say to use it like that. I do not recommend it. If your tiles are completely broken loose like that I think I would do my best to break up the thinset and get it as clean as I could, then re-thinset the tile down and grout. It sounds like a lot of work but it wont be that much. You can do it!
Thanks for sharing! I notice the foam wrap, but also no sleeves. I take it your footing plan didn't call for sleeves for any pipes going through it?
I do recall my plumber or concrete guy talking about sleeves, but they are both very experienced veteran trades people and I was following their lead on this so no, no sleeves. I am certain sleeves were not on the plan either. They were both all over the foam though, and the inspector was looking at it closely. I am not experienced to know the reason for sleeves vs. no sleeves. Maybe colder climates?
Thank you for sharing! I start from 22.5 on all pieces, then start coping. Then the painters come in and caulk and paint. Also, Rockler has a tool for this (Bullnose Trim Gauge) or you can make a jig 😊
