- In this video, I begin my bulkhead/stair/rotted siding repair. My first step is installing gutters over the bulkhead to stop the moisture causing the rot and damage. Stay tuned for videos on replacing the bulkhead, bulkhead stairs and rotted siding.

Thanks for watching! 😃
THE MOST STERN "AND WE'RE GONNA DO IT, RIGHT NOW!" EVER...I WAS LIKE HECK YEAH, LET'S BREAK OUT THE TAPCONS!!!
😁😁 Thanks for watching, Gregory!
That contour gauge was the perfect tool to create those blocks. The project turned out great.
Yes, I love that thing! Thanks for checking out the video!
Gotta confess my favorite part was backing up the truck and instant scaffolding!
Awesome job using the blocks and getting the pitch just right.
Looking forward to the water damage repair videos to come.
Thank you so much... just bought gutters and trying to find a video to help me plan on what to do... you nailed it. Been watching a couple of your videos now and you will be helping me do alot of projects. I am a single woman so I need all the help i can get and you explain things very clear . Thanks so much.
Brilliant! Backing your truck up to the work area was genius. (I love the gutters)
😁 Thanks, Jodi! Gotta use what you got to make it work!
I have the same issue with molding as well as the fascia being too far back from the roof edge. This blocking is going to solve both problems for me, perfect. I was going to return my vinyl gutters today to get those roof straps and aluminum ones. Saved me from drilling holes in my roof and bending the shit out of all my old shingles
I liked you using the shaper to match the moulding . I never thought of that so that truck alone was worth watching. Thanks for good, solid, and basic how-to videos for the average guy!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Super clever. Where there’s a will , there’s a way. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼😊
Well, I guess we know what your next big project will be!
😁 Probably gonna have to be a few videos. Like this one is step 1, step 2 - new bulkhead/fix rot, step 3 - fix stairs. We shall see! Thanks for watching!
Great video as usual! I live in a condo, so I will not be getting on a ladder to fix gutters any time soon. I love to watch your thinking process in problem solving . Hopefully, I will learn this skill as I fix things in my home. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks, Dee! The more you work, the more you learn to problem solve. I hope my videos help! Thanks for watching!
Another great video... thanks again, Fixer!
Great job!
I have a very similar fascia and I can't get a company to do gutters, so I guess I'll do it myself with this technique, thank you so much!
You can do it! Good luck. I hope the video helps!
Nicely done.
I love your house inside and out
😁 Thanks, Delaine!
Last year, when I had a hole in the side of my house two people could hold hands and walk through together, after 10 days the contractor informed me that they had "officially stopped finding water damage" and could now start the repairs.
Good luck with that wall.
Yikes! Yeah I am hoping the rot stops at the sheathing but it is not likely. Only way to really tell is to start ripping it apart!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair That will be an interesting project to watch.
Nice job as usual. Love seeing the projects get done.
Thanks, Cheryl! And thanks for being a loooong time subbie! I really appreciate it!
I love the way you make things work right. Thank you
Thanks, Teresa! Thanks for watching as always!
Wow, good job 👍
Very nice and neat.
Great deal 👌 going to use for my rain catchment! Awesome 👌 🆒️ 🙌...
Loved the truck to the rescue 😆 definitely something I would have done! Brilliant simply brilliant improvising!
Nice job!! You make it look so easy!!
😁 Thanks, Audur! 👍
Nice job, not an easy thing to do. Well thought out, as usual!
Matt! Stumbled upon one of your videos, cool stuff!
Hey Man! Happy you did! 😁
Great work!
Thanks, Michelle!
Down the rabbit hole I go! Your videos are great! Now I just need to buy a house lol
That sealant is the consistency of the fly tape adhesive I got in my hair on my last video. Should have worn a glove on my head. LOL! Love all of your videos. You are doing so well.
Oh that sounds aweful haha sorry to hear that. I thought it was bad getting on your hands… thanks for watching as always, Paige!
😂 the ladder on the truck was straight man logic
Lookin forward to the bulkhead repair
Yes! Stay tuned! Should be a fun one! Thanks for watching!
That was a clever way to fix the problem
😁 Thanks for watching!!
This is so helpful! I am going to DIY - hang some gutters behind my garage in a couple/ few weeks and now I know exactly what I need to do. Thank you Fixer!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair will do!!
Dude, perfect use of the truck bed!
😁 Gotta use what you have on hand to make life easier. Thanks for checking out the video!
More out side work what I'm doing is painting my sister back porch and then seal up some crack steps also then power wash her grave floor with Coke cola then power wash after then let dry then paint with cement paint color Gray.
That’s awesome!
😁 Thanks for watching, Nettea!
Just it time for the hurricane weather!!!
Yeah buddy! Bring it on!
Looling forward to the leaf guard onstallation. 😏
Looooove you!
Missssssss you!
Hope and pray all is! well
Fixer you did a really good job on the gutter install! I loved the way you put the sticker placement on your dodge truck so that it says doge! That was funny. Good video as always!
That was funny. But don't buy Doge. Buy bitcoin. Loved the video as always!
😁. Thanks man! Happy you noticed the doge haha
Is there a reason your chose vinyl over aluminum? Is the reason you don't want the sealant on the outside aesthetic reasons or does it cause issues with the seal long term?
We are purchasing a home that needs gutters replaced and this is so helpful thank you!
Did anyone else have an ad for gutter guards? It was the first ad
Nice job ...many greetings from the North of germany 👌👍✨
Thanks, Christine! And thanks for stopping by!
Grate job.
When using scrus on plastic I allwys use washers. It protect it from cracing in the long run.
Great tip! Thanks for checking out the video!
For peace of mind when making small blocks, you can make them from plywood scraps, but you should still pre drill them. For a perfect match of a shape, you can use making tape and whip up a batch of Bondo. Takes a bit longer but you have that block almost forever after.
Thanks, Rolf!
Awesome job on the gutter, with luck it will take care of the bulkhead leaks
Thanks, Wiley! I hope so. I obviously have some work to do to fix the damage that was already caused but that is ok. That is what I do!! Thanks for watching!
Did you use the parking break? I am woundering if you had installed an over side gutter would be exceptional at stopping the over flow from an extreme down fall of rain, I am in the process of doing it, I will let you know how it works. I loved your problem solving you applied to the crown molding.
It always amazes me what damage nature (in this case water), can do. Thanks for sharing, as always...
PS: One man and his truck, how can I use it today :)
😍
Are you able to put a end cap on a downspout or 90corner piece?
Great video 👍🏾 #problemsolved
Great idea, only thing I would change is to use SS screws.
I suppose that might be a good idea. These are actually exterior screws so they are coated but SS would prob be better. Thanks for the feedback and for checking out the video!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Thanks for reply. I used the same screws as you on some decking and railings they are not good. Wood is still in great shape but screws are rusted and rotten after few short years.
I just looked at vinyl gutters at Lowe's and the front edge looked like it did not hook on to the hanger bracket very well at all. Yours seemed to clip in well. Did you have any trouble with the brackets (other than the back side)?
Awesome job!!! But everything always does…
🤙🏾🤗
Absolutely perfect, use miter saw, not saws all.
Thanks, John! I typically don't like to cut plastics with miter saws. You can, you just need to be careful and where safety glasses... just in case. Of course you should do that anyway. Thanks for checking out the video.
Wow that's a mess!
Love the videos man. Just a question, do you have a ballpark figure of how much money you have saved doing all this yourself? And how much has the value of your home increased?
Hey! Lets see... I spent about $70 on materials. It took me about 6 hours total. Conservatively I will say labor might cost $15 - 25 for a handyman or even more for a licensed contractor. I will say I saved at least $100 and could go up to $400. That is a guess. Contractors charge all different prices. Of course they may also have got it done quicker and maybe done it a different way. As far as adding value to the house I think the way to measure that is saving thousands in the future by preventing more rot on the new bulkhead, siding and stairs (to be fixed). Hope this kind of answers your question. 😁. Thanks for checking out the video!
Did you go back and paint those extra little blocks you put on the last part of guttering?
Hey Dawn, I have not. You can't really see them and they are pressure treated so they should not rot any time soon. I will probably paint them when I fix the trim up there. Thanks so much for checking out the video and for the comment!
Hey is you roof sunken in???
Did you happen to paint those other little blocks? Or no, cause they're not really visible?
👍💚
😁 Thanks for watching!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair I love the way you tackle projects.👍🖒📐🛠
Don't you need the grill on top of the gutter to prevent leaves and stuff from going into it?
That is an option. I chose not to use it. Thanks for checking out the video!
Make sure you film when you fix the damaged areas
Absolutely, Alisa! That is the plan! Thanks for watching!
Your not worried about the drywall screws rotting over time?
Hey, Melvin! I am not, these are exterior screws. They are coated and intended for projects exposed to the elements. Thanks for checking out the video!
18:29 What is that plastic ramp called? I need one, but I live in Australia, and I don't know what name to Google. TIA
It's a rain gutter drain extender
@@armyvet8279 Thank you. I will try to find something here that is similar. This will give me a starting point. Thanks again.
I also saw it called “splash block” online. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching, Robyn!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Enjoy your videos. Thanks for the reply.
I would use gutter guards man to keep that trash out of them.
Not a bad idea. I still might!
I so hope you and your family are vaccinated…love your vlogs…. Get the shot and improve the world as you improve the houses!!💜💕💜
Great video 👍🏾 #problemsolved
