If your customers are worried about EMF, just have them add another layer or two of tin foil to their hat. Works every time. ;) Great set of videos too!
Hey man, so i recently got a tooth implant so i been laying in bed for 2 days and came across your channel and been binge watching you nonstop. I appreciate your experience and your hardwork. Im currently a manufacturing engineer but now as a hobby i want to learn some carpentry and make some stuff as a hobby. Thank you for your videos and just know some of us appreciate these type of videos because i can admit ive learned alot and you have ignited something in me to want to learn how to do some of this stuff. Thanks
I doubt you are still checking comments on a 5 year old video but this series on soffit and fascia has made me very confident to tackle a soffit repair job on my family member's garage! I will also be using painted plywood because its an old home.
Great how-to videos! I'm about to begin replacing the soffit and fascia around my house working alone. Your videos were just what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to explain every facet of the job. I'm sure I'll be needing more of your videos in the future.
Dude! I just found your channel and must say it's awesome! Not everyone finds their passion in life but it's clear you have. I wish you much continued success and joy like I get from watching these videos.
EMF is a low energy non ionizing radiation, meaning it doesn't have the energy to break apart cells and is pretty much harmless to the human body. Gauss is a measure of magnetic field strength. Volts/meter is a measure of electric field strength. You wouldn't put highly sensitive electronics in an area with extremely strong EMF readings without hardening them in some form, the danger is to electronics, not humans. All electricity creates a electric/magnetic field so the current going through the resistors in your electric heater as well as the blower motor all create EMF.
Emf is electro magnetic field strength/density. The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B. You use magnets to cut through copper invisibly to make electricity. (basics) The more stuff you run in the house that is old school bulbs or heaters or large appliances, the more field strength you need, and if you go check your main panel while doing so, you will send your meter buggy. Emf, fields, magnetic pulses are how you send data through the air like cell or radio waves. Magnetic fields seem on the most part harmless for most devices as long as your not close to it. Big antennas= higher field density and more power being output. Being near them is not good because they are running at a higher frequency. Household stuff is for the most part considered safe. The only concern would be transformers like the ones on the poles outside or bigger, if they are inside you should probably not be eating your lunch around it just in case. lol. On the other side we are being swamped with more signals then ever before being routers, phones, tablets, and computers. People claiming sensitivity is probably more fear based than anything. Like aliens! I still have not seen one!
If people are asking why your priming all sides... I really hope they arent doing projects like this. Priming all sides shows you the difference between a good handyman and an amateur with little experience. My motto is whats under or inside your work, shows your skill and worth more than the outside. DO IT RIGHT!
Have someone call your phone and test for that EMF, maybe something interesting will show up. Maybe even test your wifi router in your home, maybe something will present itself on the EMF tester device.
Great video, by any chance, do you have any video how to replace windows? I will love to see that, next year I have couple of old windows that they need it to be changed.
As always, love your videos and work Handyman, brilliant pro-tip on the temporary power outlet. Quick Q - I know you don't care about the newest shiny tool, but you also love efficiency. If you were doing the job TODAY (3 years later), would you be using a battery powered nail gun or stick with air powered?
Thank you for making these videos. I have two questions for you on the soffit wood you installed. How thick is the ply and what grade did you use? Oh, and what gauge of nails and length did you staple those boards with? I just want to thank you in advance. I truly appreciate it!
Thanks a lot for great video content. One suggestion; you could use glasses with camera built-in to record some projects. I think it would be easier and less time consuming.
I thought you weren't supposed to seal the underside of joints(caulking the trim) on a house in case there's water ingress it will trap the water so it cannot drain. Sounds reasonable, your thoughts? Also the template was a nice idea.
Any baffling above the soffit vents? I always try to install them if I’m removing the soffit. The better ventilated the attic is the longer you’re roof will last
Exactly. I had a discussion with a friend who wasn’t happy with a GSM pole across the street. I explained that the antenna’s on that pole transmit with the same amount of power as his cellphone does. So it’s like being scared by a bunch of cellphones across the street. To clarify: imagine two people at a distance. Only one has a loudspeaker 📢. They wouldn’t be able to communicate. It’s the same for cellphones. It doesn’t make sense to have a strong amplifier at the pole and not on the cellphone. You’d have great reception but would not be able to transmit back. So if you’re really concerned with cellphone radiation, don’t hold it to your head but put it in hands free mode all the time. But to be honest, just don’t be concerned.
Thanks for another great video and I've enjoyed this series. I have a big section of fascia i need to replace. Put in is more like it. I have about a 20 ft hole on the back side of our mobile home. No leaks so far so I'm lucky in that part. I have a question on why you put sofit in 1st and not the fascia? Thanks for a great series, Rodney
There have been ongoing concerns over the levels of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF’s) and the effects on humans. Anyplace that has electrical transformers, florescent light ballasts, even the high voltage overhead power lines that bisect residential neighborhoods will generate various levels of EMF. My industry (wireless communications) takes energy radiation levels very serious as engineers/technicians are required to perform installations or maintenance to (transmit) antennas mounted on building rooftops or radio towers. The people required to perform their jobs in high level EMF locations are trained to take the necessary precautions. OSHA and the FCC have set mandatory guidelines to protect the wellbeing of the general public. Opposing arguments have been addressed on this topic, but our modern-day lifestyles have us exposed to very minimal levels of EMF most of the time.
Thanks for posting your comment. It's important that people don't simply poo-poo an idea simply because they don't understand it. Science is a way for us to understand the natural world, so let's seek understanding and the requisite causality so we can make better choices for our health and safety. And please God protect us from those who would prey on our fears by lying and false testimony.
Your pretty damn good dude! & know how to elude to how difficult customers can be without actually saying it good for you! just stay honest at the same time true professional !
I have noticed that my garage door opener will not work consistently if it has a CFL light bulb installed. Changed it to LED and no problem. I was very surprised when my friend told me to change the bulb and it actually worked.
Great job! Quick question: for projects like this where you do prep work in your shop, do you factor that in at the same rate as if you were working onsite? Just curious. Thanks!
Its a lump sum price. It's not really hourly I do factor how much time it will take me to do a job in my pricing. I had one week of work in this job and I wanted to make a certain amount of money for this job.
Great video as always and great job..how do you like that ridgid framing nailer? Also I just switched to white lighting 3006 caulking you buy at Lowe's it's really good stuff just curious if you had used that type before?
I had to buy the ridged framing nailer because I left my Hitachi at the house and the next day it was gone. I did get a good deal on the ridged because it was on a pre black Friday sale. Works really good. I haven't used the white lighting caulk Is it paintable? I look for it the next time I'm at lowes.
The Handyman... yea it is, I found out about it from watching the Idaho painter on you tube. works really great both interior and exterior...I just got another house that ima be doing some remodelling and that's when I'll really be able to tell how well it works so far it's great.i just got a Hitachi nailer I wanted the ridgid but they where sold out at my store
Yes. This man is very good. I broke my stones in the mid 1970's working for a 'huge' builder and learned everything from testing for suitable housing/commercial soil, to the to the footing to the ridge. He is my mini me. You can learn from him, he's real.
@The Handyman, how do you know where to shoot the nail to? I saw you touched it but the beam was covered especially the ones under the metal roof at 11:07
curious the jig to keep the vents consistent and marked out quickly was great however how did you know where to ahead of time the correct place to put them?
Supervisor and the 1951 Natural gas regulator. Sorry I retired from Southwest Gas Corp July 2016 after 35 years and changed many of that style of Reg out not safe.
Amazing work and effort. Few and far between these days. As far as EMF goes there hasnt been any negative health benefits proven to date that I am aware of. In large prolonged quantities there could be negative health benefits which I believe is the crux of the whole "5g gives you cancer" fiasco that people are worried about. Coming from the telecom industry typically the only concern we have is the amount of interference that it causes to the equipment that we use to provide service to locations I.E. radio shots, satellite uplinks ect. But to interfere with that equipment it has to be larger power sources such as large generators or other broadcasting devices operating on the same frequency. In the typical residential environment the most harm EMF could cause is probably WiFi interference. Anyways, keep up the great work!
+Travis Phillips I have been wanting to switch all my nailers to airless. Thats over a $1000 investment. I will be getting a new airless gun every few months to spread out the cost. Im going with the 20v dewalt since I already have the batteries.
I have a dewalt airless gun and love it. No compressor, cords or lines. Less stuff to haul around and get the same performance of a regular gun in my opinion.
I wouldn't call myself an expert in EMF but I am an electrical engineer that works for the electric utility and I have to perform EMF investigations as part of my job. I am not worried about emf from electric circuits in your home at all. Cell phones are about 100000(made up number) times worse that the electric circuits in your home. Try your meter on your phone sometime and I bet you'll be surprised.
damn! how tall are you? you're taller than the security door there in the video about 16:07. And you're not standing on anything.... you must be a giant! thanks for sharing!
Some of those random spooks that go around are so stupid, magnetic fields aren't going to cause problems unless maybe you're going to go take a good long sleep in an MRI. Sadly, people freaking out about something they heard on the internet/news will rarely listen to reason. :p Good thinking on placing the boards from the roof before attaching them, it's little things like that that make your life less stressful. Better to take a few trips up to the roof, rather than having to come back through to patch up the paint, and maybe even use some filler. Personally, I have a 3.0Ah on my multitool (It's a makita if that matters to you).
Agree, that was created in the 80's and completely debunked in studies after that. Australia did the first study proving absolutely no relationship to EMF and cancer but rumors persist.
Cool video great job but in South Florida never would have been that easy fascia wood is behind 1 by furring strip both are shot from the top through drip edge and 16 penny nails everywhere because of hurricane code the rip and the prep would have been a nightmare and no one here wants to spend that type of money for that quality of a job have laid wood floors of all types for over 20 years and would be picked apart on every single job! Probably one of the last natives left in South Florida thinking it's about time to leave and relocate to a place where people appreciate quality craftsmanship.
It’s commonly used for ghost...😂 and it’s just like saying the word gauss, it sounds just like the way you say The fluffy stuff you use to pack a wound, or cutt to halt bleeding.GAUSS , ie.. I used gauss and tape for his wound ... now go find some ghosts!!! 🤪👍
Electromagnetic fields can be generated by AC or DC currents. An EMF meter can measure AC electromagnetic fields, which are usually emitted from man-made sources such as electrical wiring, while gaussmeters or magnetometers measure DC fields, which occur naturally in Earth's geomagnetic fieldand are emitted from other sources where direct current is present.
My mother wears EMF jewelry and has plates around the house to absorb them. She even gave me a stone to wear. She had ablation surgery to stop Atrial Fib and is afraid too much EMF will cause it to return. anything to make her happy.
Couple of questions: are you using stainless or galvanized nails? Do they have a head or finish nails? Will you cover the nail heads? Do you ever get stiffed by the client?
+SKWDMDYT galvanized nails with a head ment for installing hardy siding. They have glue on them too. They all get caulked abd psinted. Haven't been stiffed yet.
The Handyman hey how are u, i really enjoy all your videos, all the great jobs you make, im looking to buy a huse and i watch every night your videos to get an idea went i need to fix something on my future home, another thing i saw you use on your shop a 3m respirator, if you need filters just send me a email, and i can send you alot of them because i get them for free at work and also have alot already at home and I don’t need them, asi can send you respirator too just to help you with something, because you help me alot already with al your videos, thanks and keed doing all those great work you do!!! 👍🏻
Obviously, some EM is dangerous - microwaves and UV radiation are obvious examples, but cell phones have been found to cause issues too... There are two separate mechanisms for damage from EM radiation; Ionizing radiation, mostly UV radiation from sunlight or solar lamps, can damage your skin's DNA. Other forms of EM radiation simply generate heat when It hits you, and the frequency of the radiation determines how deep this effect reaches, which is why low-frequency radio waves are a problem - they heat up the inside of your skin, a bit like a microwave - But in any case of non-ionizing radiation, be it infrared, microwave, or radio, the damaging effect likely only occurs when the source of powerful enough to cause substantial heating. The bottom line: If your device is giving off UV radiation, it's a serious health risk - If your device is radiating significant levels of other forms of EM radiation, it makes sense not to spend all day rubbing up against it. So I would tell customers not to sit directly in the line of sight of a space heater or other strong EM radiator. But your (normal) lights, gadgets, appliances and magnetic devices (motors, etc.) are not a problem, with the possible exception of radio transmitters like cell phones and WiFi modems, but only if you're physically touching them while they're running on full power, since they're just not very powerful. I should reassure people and say that modern phones are safer than older ones, since they are more efficient - smartphone companies would rather not waste battery life on sending overpowered signals. Mostly, I'd worry about lightbulbs and space heaters... And it's easy enough to explain in commonsense terms: They feel hot when you move your hand towards it, so you're being bombarded with heating radiation which isn't good for you in the long term. Same with the sun and UV lamps. Aside from items that obviously cause radiative heating, I think cell phones are likely the only devices that you should be worried about, and only while it's powering its radio transmitter, such as during a call.
Gauss is pronounced like Grouse without the R - Gous. mG is mili-Gauss. The other measure is Tesla's or Micro-Tesla's. You have to be exposed to a very high volume for a very long time for it to have any significant effect.
The previous owner used the soffit metal strips for the garage - unfortunately he also has a metal 'pipe' in the roof (must have had a stove in the garage) and it isn't capped. Once I find out the size I need and cap the 'pipe,' I need to replace the soffit (raccoons, etc. have done a job on it and it's falling down). Glad to know I can use the thin plywood to replace the skimpy metal (then I'll still need to evict those tenants!). (I used to have trouble remembering which is soffit and which is fascia - then I thought, 'Hum, my face is vertical and in front of me. Fascia (face-see-a) is vertical and in front - so Face equals Fascia!').
If your customers are worried about EMF, just have them add another layer or two of tin foil to their hat. Works every time. ;) Great set of videos too!

Everybody learns here, a whole lot of professional workmanship !
I really appreciate your sharing the tips while working solo. When you don't have help and work alone using your ideas are golden.😉
Nice idea with the jig to keep the vents consistent and marked out quickly. Great tips on working alone as well

Thanks for clear explanation.

@@mattpkp My father does every day and has no problems at all. The emf fields are not anywhere close to being strong enough.

7:45 ... What brand is that ladder? Every single other brand I've had at that angle slides right off the ground
Haha EMF! Sounds like some people have been watching to much Ghost Hunters.
i like your rolling carts that you used to help with handling cutting the plywood where did you get them or did you make them ?
I made them. I found the factory rollers on craigslist. they came in 10 foot long sections.
Have you heard of the tape method you tape off the area you wana seal after you pull it off it’s a super nice bead
Best part is after you test for the customer they will get on their cell phone and call their friends their house is safe. To funny

Lots of angry ghosts in that space heater. Bananas and brazil nuts for real ionizing radiation.
pretty sweet when you connected the outlet outside
@The Handyman, how do you know where to shoot the nail to? I saw you touched it but the beam was covered especially the ones under the metal roof at 11:07
Do you have a parts list? like prefer primer what size nail etc.. etc.. what tools and equipment used? etc.. for a first timer
Did you test a cell phone for "EMF"? just curios....by the way, great videos, keep em comin!
I'm hooked, nice work. Keep it up.
curious the jig to keep the vents consistent and marked out quickly was great however how did you know where to ahead of time the correct place to put them?
The eyeball method. space them evenly and try not to put them over windows and doors.

That ladder angle looked scary. Stay safe!
When it slips out on him he'll buy a 16 or remember to take it to the job.
+Don Nash It was a little scary.
You are inspiring some young guys to get into this work. Safety first.
I was thinking the same thing. There is no way you would get me on a ladder set up like that unless the bottom was staked.
Microwaves have a good amount of emf in it. When you are three feet away from a microwave, you are exposed to up to 25 mG.
when nailing the fascia or cutting the vents out how do you know where the wood beams studs are behind it? I just see you nailing It so fast .
He would of nailed the soffit to each beam/rafter tail when he installed. So you simply place your template inbetween the nail holes
I am going to need you to come to Buffalo, NY
On my way.
@@TheHandyman1 I can't believe you replied! Lol, I love your videos, they are great. Your work is so good!
Do you put a groove on the back side of the fascia board to receive the edge of the soffit? I

Poor old Chuck from 'better call saul'. he believed all that pseudo gibberish about electromagnetic fields too.
Some of those random spooks that go around are so stupid, magnetic fields aren't going to cause problems unless maybe you're going to go take a good long sleep in an MRI. Sadly, people freaking out about something they heard on the internet/news will rarely listen to reason. :p
Good thinking on placing the boards from the roof before attaching them, it's little things like that that make your life less stressful. Better to take a few trips up to the roof, rather than having to come back through to patch up the paint, and maybe even use some filler.
Personally, I have a 3.0Ah on my multitool (It's a makita if that matters to you).
Ventilation/soffits: when you marked the location for the vents, how did you calculate were the 2X4's were not?
just looked for the nails. But if there is 2x4 in the hole its not going to be in the way.

EMF worries is mostly bogus pseudoscience kinda junk.
Agree, that was created in the 80's and completely debunked in studies after that. Australia did the first study proving absolutely no relationship to EMF and cancer but rumors persist.
Spacewolf is right this is all bunkum, there is emf all around from natural sources the human body has had millions of years to adjust to this.
EMF is Chicken Little, or worse. Shouldn't scare a real man.
What they call science today is pseudo.
Skilled to the max.
Can you ghost hunt with that EM tester?
I think so
Yeah everything messed up starts here on the left coast. At least with that EMF you can now find ghosts!...
Cool video great job but in South Florida never would have been that easy fascia wood is behind 1 by furring strip both are shot from the top through drip edge and 16 penny nails everywhere because of hurricane code the rip and the prep would have been a nightmare and no one here wants to spend that type of money for that quality of a job have laid wood floors of all types for over 20 years and would be picked apart on every single job! Probably one of the last natives left in South Florida thinking it's about time to leave and relocate to a place where people appreciate quality craftsmanship.
no vents in the soffits?
No moisture to speak 🗣️ of brother… haha 😂
Amazing Channel!
What size of nails u use?
Are you using a frame nail gun or a finishing nail gun ?
Framing, It shoots siding nails too.
35 days plus another 2-3 weeks for gutters...man you have patient customers!
It’s commonly used for ghost...😂 and it’s just like saying the word gauss, it sounds just like the way you say The fluffy stuff you use to pack a wound, or cutt to halt bleeding.GAUSS , ie.. I used gauss and tape for his wound ... now go find some ghosts!!! 🤪👍
Electromagnetic fields can be generated by AC or DC currents. An EMF meter can measure AC electromagnetic fields, which are usually emitted from man-made sources such as electrical wiring, while gaussmeters or magnetometers measure DC fields, which occur naturally in Earth's geomagnetic fieldand are emitted from other sources where direct current is present.
My mother wears EMF jewelry and has plates around the house to absorb them. She even gave me a stone to wear. She had ablation surgery to stop Atrial Fib and is afraid too much EMF will cause it to return. anything to make her happy.
Might as well waste her money there than on something that can be harmful, such as nano-silver and other trash.
EMF not really dangerous only or usually effects other electronic equipment and most of the equipment in your home are EMF
Protected
by the way thanks for all the information
Is anyone living in this house while you are working on it?
Another great video!
What nail you used for soffit and fascia?
What kind of vents are they?
Couple of questions: are you using stainless or galvanized nails? Do they have a head or finish nails? Will you cover the nail heads? Do you ever get stiffed by the client?
+SKWDMDYT galvanized nails with a head ment for installing hardy siding. They have glue on them too. They all get caulked abd psinted. Haven't been stiffed yet.
The Handyman hey how are u, i really enjoy all your videos, all the great jobs you make, im looking to buy a huse and i watch every night your videos to get an idea went i need to fix something on my future home, another thing i saw you use on your shop a 3m respirator, if you need filters just send me a email, and i can send you alot of them because i get them for free at work and also have alot already at home and I don’t need them, asi can send you respirator too just to help you with something, because you help me alot already with al your videos, thanks and keed doing all those great work you do!!! 👍🏻
Well good job
CALIFORNIA!... :-O oh no...I LIVE THERE!
Obviously, some EM is dangerous - microwaves and UV radiation are obvious examples, but cell phones have been found to cause issues too...
There are two separate mechanisms for damage from EM radiation; Ionizing radiation, mostly UV radiation from sunlight or solar lamps, can damage your skin's DNA. Other forms of EM radiation simply generate heat when It hits you, and the frequency of the radiation determines how deep this effect reaches, which is why low-frequency radio waves are a problem - they heat up the inside of your skin, a bit like a microwave - But in any case of non-ionizing radiation, be it infrared, microwave, or radio, the damaging effect likely only occurs when the source of powerful enough to cause substantial heating.
The bottom line: If your device is giving off UV radiation, it's a serious health risk - If your device is radiating significant levels of other forms of EM radiation, it makes sense not to spend all day rubbing up against it.
So I would tell customers not to sit directly in the line of sight of a space heater or other strong EM radiator. But your (normal) lights, gadgets, appliances and magnetic devices (motors, etc.) are not a problem, with the possible exception of radio transmitters like cell phones and WiFi modems, but only if you're physically touching them while they're running on full power, since they're just not very powerful.
I should reassure people and say that modern phones are safer than older ones, since they are more efficient - smartphone companies would rather not waste battery life on sending overpowered signals.
Mostly, I'd worry about lightbulbs and space heaters... And it's easy enough to explain in commonsense terms: They feel hot when you move your hand towards it, so you're being bombarded with heating radiation which isn't good for you in the long term. Same with the sun and UV lamps.
Aside from items that obviously cause radiative heating, I think cell phones are likely the only devices that you should be worried about, and only while it's powering its radio transmitter, such as during a call.
Gauss is pronounced like Grouse without the R - Gous. mG is mili-Gauss. The other measure is Tesla's or Micro-Tesla's. You have to be exposed to a very high volume for a very long time for it to have any significant effect.
The previous owner used the soffit metal strips for the garage - unfortunately he also has a metal 'pipe' in the roof (must have had a stove in the garage) and it isn't capped. Once I find out the size I need and cap the 'pipe,' I need to replace the soffit (raccoons, etc. have done a job on it and it's falling down). Glad to know I can use the thin plywood to replace the skimpy metal (then I'll still need to evict those tenants!). (I used to have trouble remembering which is soffit and which is fascia - then I thought, 'Hum, my face is vertical and in front of me. Fascia (face-see-a) is vertical and in front - so Face equals Fascia!').
Good series of vids. $2400-$2700 (not counting the extra work request)?
The unit of measure for damage to humans from EMF is tinfoil hats.
How much would you charge per square footage to do a job like that, labor only?
On jobs like this it is by the linear foot not square foot. I think this was 360 linear feet and I think the total cost was around $9,000.
Tesla and Gauss (rhymes with house) measure magnetic flux density. 1 T = 10000 G
Thanks dude
if you have a large gap ...cut a new piece of wood...indeed my friend..indeed....thank you for your service...
