@@WB4MEDIA I used Limestone here, but either can be found at a mason supply store

@@Dimmu666ist I did a terrible job of showing that. I have other videos on it, but basically you spray a retarder on the surface, then come back several hours later and wash the surface away

@thedustybuilder tnx for the answer

@@MobtacticsBruh bruh, it can be fixed, literally no factor

@ my question was, how did you look at the shingles and think oh hell yeah I can drill into this no problem

@@MobtacticsBruh lol , fair enough. My shingles are old. When I lifted them up, they were angry (cracking / breaking). I could only sneak one bolt under a shingle without damaging them. When I take the bolts out, I’ll just slide a piece of flashing under the shingle and secure it with some roofing tar. This trick works for fixing a shingle that is torn/ damaged

@@RickStone-s7l lol. thanks buddy!!

Thanks for sharing!

@@aaronhatter4539 awesome!

@@djfunknuckle3375 yes sir, it’s just pea gravel

@@djfunknuckle3375 yes, th-cam.com/video/pdNuuC_WT-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gPUfitzTbPU6nuvl I did a slab in this video. My biggest advice is don’t pour in hot weather. Using Coke for the surface retarder works fine

@@yaxlu hey, thanks!

Hello, I did not use Coke on this project, I used the professional stuff.......but yes, in the past when I used Coke, I just poured it into a sprayer.

Thank you!

@@connormaendel834 what is better? Notch the post ?

@@josecartagena6019 thanks man!

@@froggy0162 ha! It’s ok, I probably didn’t explain it the best

@@thedustybuilderI wouldn’t know if you did or not 😂 Those very very weird units of measurement you Americans use are incomprehensible at the best of times!

@@froggy0162 lol, oh that! Yeah it’s crazy, it’s all I know though. The inefficiency is really highlighted during stairs and building furniture

@@Eliasfreefire477 you pour it in your eyes, it helps to achieve a nicer, more pleasant experience for the finisher

@@MrTeff999 Yep, the liquid just has to have sugar.

Glad you like it!

@@MrTenkara maybe they could be improved, but they passed inspection

@@Gintokikreuz1 what a moron! Unbelievable!

@@xTrasgo it’s integrated into the mix at the plant

Thats micorfiber... thats not mesh...

@@johanstoker8391 oh thanks, my vernacular was wrong. We used micro fiber.

That’s a tough one. You are out of luck unless you can access it somehow and change it into a rectangular vent

@ Hey Thanks DustyBuilder… I’ve just recently moved into my place. Not familiar with everything yet. I know I’m limited on space. It’s a doublewide manufactured home so I think it’s all underneath unfortunately. I live in the Northeast so it’s not a good time of year to get under it but I’ll try to see what’s happening. Might be easier to run a whole new vent outside through a wall. Thanks again!

@@rjjabjiniak8848yeah, running a new one could be an option. In warmer weather the vinyl siding is easier to work with……. Good spring project!

@@hermiesnow6947 For some reason, the anode rod was readily accessible on my heater. I didn’t have to go so through so much effort!

@@rickywood179 mesh yes rebar no

No need

@ I agree. Cut the next day is usually good enough

@@James-ly3rx money in the bank!

Used fiberglass in the mix and saw cut the next day, she’s got a chance to stay pretty

All concrete cracks. Only a matter of time.

@@trickmiller8169 there is truth to that! I’ve found that cutting it early seems to help

@@ricklehmkuhlsr4711 we used fiberglass mesh, way cheaper

No need

@@cd1168 fiberglass was used

@@edwardquigley4719 yeah, not for the faint of heart!

@@jerrybriseno3031 it worked great!

@@deanriver9388 no, no they aren’t. In fact they are safer then the flexible ducts that are probably in 90 percent of homes

@@chadridgway9319 lol, my only regret was I couldn’t talk him into exposed aggregate

@@jeraldsmith-c3e good to know, thank you! Ive gotten a lot of good advice from people with more experience taking the time to comment, much appreciated!

@@brent... it’s up to code to run wire to exterior outlets if that’s what you are asking. The wire is safe and sound in the outlet box rated for wet locations

@@thedustybuilder The code is confusing. It clearly states that you cannot use NM cable in wet locations (334.12(B)(4)). I’ve read that 314.15 implies that the inside of the boxes are considered wet locations since it talks about letting water out. That means it’s expected to get in. No real world experience here though, so I dunno.

@@brent... interesting point, maybe it would be a violation where enforcement is super strict. I’ve been on several projects where this method passed inspection.

@@dianacudby7290 I read a little about these based on your comment. It’s an interesting concept, do you like it? For the build, I installed a nice Panasonic vent fan that does a good job of removing moisture

@@iancarmalt1676 I like that….. we can always learn new things! It will look great, I know it!

Hey man, just 3 inch deck screws would be fine

@@macdonaldenoyoze6042 yes!

@@macdonaldenoyoze6042 actually yes. You can get a similar color using an acid wash, check it out! th-cam.com/video/b6VH7jSRVFI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4_SNRVxYPTGtdN5Y

@@henryfehr6202 cool, thank you! That totally makes sense about when you apply the coke, but by washing the haze off with acid……. The color of the concrete did darken

@@wolverinegnr yes, but it’s GFI protected……. You’d have to watch the video

Yeah, I like the darker look as well

you've tried this? My first 2 thought are 1) Diet Coke is gross, and 2) My understanding is that the sugar is what prevents the top from curing. I've used gator aid with similar success. Old timers would use a proprietary mix of brown sugar and water.

@@thedustybuilder good to know it is the sugar.....

@@jonathanthink5830ya it’s the sugar that’s the retarder, that’s why a lot of ready mix drivers keep a 5lb bag of sugar in the truck to throw in the mixer if they get stuck somewhere with a full drum

Agreed! She is the best. My only complaint is that she keeps 'playing' with skunks!

@@southbridgeforestHOA that makes sense, thank you!
