Welcome to my channel where I'll share my knowledge on DIY home projects (all levels of experience), engineering, woodworking, tools, building, repairing, appliances, and everything else in and around the house.
My videos will be geared towards DIYers who may not have the same tools as the professionals, and may prefer to work at a slower pace with higher quality (since you're working on your own home!)
I strive to work on all projects myself and complete them with high quality and meeting code, while eliminating labor cost.
Remember to like and SUBSCRIBE! I have a lot of videos and tips to share.

Lots of good info here!
Thank you, Someone told me that I have to take the bolts out, so I did, and it didn’t seem right. Could of changed it in one minute if I came here first!
Thank you for this video! Now I need to know how to remove the agitators on the inside of the drum to clean under them.
@@TheMelaniebarber1 thanks! I've been thinking about making that video too
Ground?
@@ScottDMoore yes, not earth ground if that's what you were thinking
@@realhouseDIY Seems my issue was moisture. :)
Please note this is for experienced table saw users only. Care needs to be taken to avoid kickback while making the first cut. And the riving knife is not installed on the table saw shown for unrelated reasons. It should be installed.
Ah yes all reusable bags are trash, i swear americans are so weird. Like bro you bought that thing. Just buy one out of fabric and put in a carton so your groceries dont get crushed or use an ikea bag. You know no one is stopping you from using a basket either.
Will it cut metal
@@derricksmiley8293it cuts through rebar in concrete yes.
These would be fine if they could stop printing extra stuff on them. Not to mention they're still made out of plastic, not fabric.
Can't find the relay in stock. Got any other suggestions? Or is that the only one of its kind?
@@kristfur there's definitely more. Looks like same one available here at a good price: openbuildspartstore.com/iot-switching-relay-power-strip/ I'll post more options I find if they look good
Great video, waiting for the same pump to arrive :)
Very informative video. I am in the planning stages on replacing my windows and siding and was leaning towards toe Provia windows. What did you use to finish the inside around the window? Do you know if Provia supplies something (wood or vinyl or PVC) to finish around the window on the inside?
@@frankrongione6778 I'm just adding a small wood molding (new interior stop) to fill the gap and paint. The local window supplier says they use a Z molding (sounded like they use a white aluminum) when there was no existing interior stops.. slides under the window casing, covers the old jamb, then covers the gap to the new window. I prefer a wood interior stop. Then I was going to add caulking to the window sill gap, but I think wife prefers new so I might just replace those. The Provia window does have a channel around the entire window interior so it should accept something similar to the still extender that snaps right in.
Your audio is not good. Too quite. Very poor quality
@@brycedrew3035 appreciate the feedback. These were some of my very first videos and I agree!
1:50 Release the pressure by using the drain cock first.
Shown this way on purpose for the explanation. But yes, ideally release pressure first before taking off the cover.
Manufacturers make it very difficult for consumers by using their jargon and branding names that mean NOTHING to us- needs to be regulation disclosing materials of 10 most vulnerable failure parts. Warrenty that Delta and Moen is huge so that cuts down some competitors- But labor is very expensive (& I get why)- What fixture will more likely require a plumber in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years? Hands free (which would be so cool) is a definate a no no- extra time for install & batteries (like we dont have enough in landfills already)- havent seen a better YT than this one-no one really as helpful as this guy. I'm buying 3 kitchen faucets at different prices Delta, Kohler & Moen pull down & will have plumber help me decide- master plumbers will know in an instant. Taking the other 2 back (costco, home depot & amazon)-
@@viennehaake9149 let us know which one you go with and why! Plumbers have their preferences as well but will be good info. 🙂
the electrical inspector that checks my wiring doesnt like me stapling 2 wires together
@@afzalhakeen4941 should pass code as long as the correct size staple is used. Easier to just say ok than argue of course!
Thank you. I found it super helpful. Do you think this is same effective as doing the foliar spray? Second question, why do you use 2 different products? Can I use fosphite for both treatments at a month apart?
@@MS-ws3ss combination foliar spray and soil drench is probably best of both worlds given the little known so far for treating this. The recommendation is 2 applications of phosphite/fosphite. The soluble potash is a generally good tree fertilizer especially if soil is low potassium. I wanted to use it but not too high on potassium since it's in both products.
(next year I may just do both applications with the fosphite only)
Thanks for the reply! If I start with soluble potash tomorrow, do you think waiting only 3 weeks before I do the fosphite is sufficient? It's already mid summer so just wanted to have enough time for two treatments this year... I have 3 pretty sick beech trees :(
@@MS-ws3ss probably fine with plenty of watering. Later it gets in the season, then more stress with applying fertilizers. You might want to get a soil test kit, the one that does ph, n, p, k. Just so you don't add too much potassium.
As an older woman, your video was so helpful in doing the job myself instead of paying someone else $40 + to do it.
@@margueriteevans8118 great to hear, thank you!
Where did ten come from
@@user-tc4xw1dn4h 13 threads per 1 cm, but you need to convert to mm... 10 mm in a cm.
Thanks a lot for the video. I really appreciate it!
Great vid - thank you!
great video. i have a question what is the purpose of the DC adapter ? can this model be done using only a ''safe T swich over flow switch'' on the water pan connected directly to the relay ? and the plug of the dehumidifier on the ''normally on '' outlet ? thanks
@@adamtp17 no, this relay model requires a low voltage input. There's some benefit to that although not a huge deal for this application. There's likely a relay out there that is just looking for an open vs short.
@@realhouseDIY ok thank you for the clarification I'll do the same
Did you end up going with the provia?
@@theguyofalltrades yes, only a few left to install!
Great video!
@@amberh550 thanks!
In our house, both ground floor and upper floors have very high pich squeaky noise that comes throughout the floor. And sometimes when nobody is walking then also this squeaky noise comes.. Can it be fixed ? can all squeaky noises be fixed ? thanks
You’re wild😂
Do they sell small sump pumps that would like fit in a 5g bucket? Could that work? Put the drain hose into the 5g bucket..then when the water gets to a certain amount would the sump kick on and push the water up the basement hatch stairs?
@@high_fructose_corn_syrup yes there are submersible pumps for 5 gallon sized buckets. This is standalone and fairly small sized. You can certainly drain a dehumidifier into a sump pump location and have a pump move both sump water and dehumidifier water.
Does the pump run 24/7? Or does it collect a certain amount and then kicks on to pump out?
@@high_fructose_corn_syrup it kicks on occasionally when the water is high enough. The noise is quiet enough in the basement where you can hear it if paying close attention, but won't wake you up
I thought you would show how to check the functionality of just the module, which you did not do. I mean you used an indirect way to figure it out (by checking the batt and contacts and continuity of the wires). I hoped you would also check the connection points on the module itself (sometimes a little dirt on one of the metal bars may be the culprit). Good vedeo but i hoped for a module check-up
@@mixalis11111 right I didn't explain why it's not easy to do that. Would need some special equipment to measure the high voltage, high frequency output. It would damage a meter or scope. The best way is to see or hear the spark and for that you can confirm the igniter wires are good first.
Would you link the filters please?
@@MidnyteKitten here is the Amazon link for the full set to replace. You can also select the pre-filter set only on this page: a.co/d/4srMVZc
Also note it is specific to the type of APEC system. For example, Essence vs Ultimate.
@@realhouseDIY thank you so much! 🙏🏼 your video was very helpful
very nice! looks great and even leve 5 yo
Thanks! 8 months later and still looks great. The skim coat always looks and feels better than none... Just need to put in the extra time.
I am really impressed with the videos you make.
@@MD_ASHIK_MIA642 thank you!
@@realhouseDIY Can I ask you some questions about this channel of yours?
@@MD_ASHIK_MIA642 sure, depending on the type of question
@@realhouseDIY Thanks for your reply. Please give your email or whatsapp number
of course you can do it cheaper, you don't pay insurance, licenses, taxes , vehicle costs . office and staff costs and many more expenses.
@@wurzelle1999 folks like this information with regard to making a DIY determination. Therefore I provided it. 🙂
I'm not sure why this video is rated as heplfull. I've just wasted 1h30 trying to do it without removing the front door. I honestly think it is not possible. Maybe someone who really know what he is doing can do it, but for most people i think it is not realistic. I bought a new one (kind of stiff), so maybe with an old one already shaped correctly (and soft), you can do it this way, but i wouldn't count on that. Dont waste your time and remove the front door, do it properly, you will save time. You can find how to do it in many other videos. You're welcom!
@@Mcblounnn at least on this particular model it's not as simple as just removing the front door. It would require the top panel to be removed, then the control panel, then the front panel. It saves me an hour doing it this way, although with just the top panel off (2 screws) you get a lot more access to the top of the gasket. This method is also a must if you have a shelf or stacked dryer on top.
@@realhouseDIY My 15 yr old and I removed and cleaned the gasket in about 15 minutes with your video on the top of the washer for reference... Only thing that I would add is that (as we found) some of the models have side drains that have a clamp to remove as well. Ours also had a light in the top that had to be popped out of the gasket. Otherwise, perfect thanks!!
@@KidzRemielShow thanks for the feedback!
How did you access the screws?
@@Liljoozy this car (Toyota Prius) the screws are exposed. Others where you can't see screws, maybe they are covered by a snap on cap? What type of car?
Great video thanks so much.
can you tell me what material is the storage tank?
@@vegtamvanderveg tank only states "metal shell" in the description. Water is held inside a virgin polypropylene liner inside the metal shell, and tubing connection at the top is stainless steel.
One more thing I like about Moen as compared to Delta is the power boost feature which add more water pressure to the spray setting. The water in the spray setting come out like a sweep versus the Delta comes out from two separate streams.
@@rebeccafritz1831 not sure if this model from Moen has that. Main faucet water comes from the middle, and spray setting it switches to water coming only from the outer circle. Very similar to my previous Delta regarding water pressure for the two settings. It still works very well though.
Thanks, you helped me fix my igniter 💪
Thank you!
Great explanation.
How long will it stay re-pressurized ?
@@speckles3012 hard to tell but I adjust it each year when I replace filters
My vacuum is probably as old as yours- maybe older. But it has been the best vacuum I have owned- and super convenient with it being bagless. Despite losing some attachments over the years that I could probably find some generic replacements for- it has tugged along fine for well over 10 years. The suction is AMAZING. I used to own an extremely heavy and extremely expensive hoover that they used to sell via door to door salesman. This one was a fraction of the cost and much much better! So when I didn't notice it clog up on me and it stopped working half way through my vacuuming... I thought it was done for good. I waited an hour for it to cool down- cleaned it out- and hoped it was just an overheating issue. But nope. I tried turning it on and... nothing. Then I found your video. I didn't know it had a fuse! So I will be ordering the correct replacement and fingers crossed... Let's hope it works!
@@vapinggaming awesome! I might suggest to open it up first and see if the fuse has similar burn marks as mine had. If you have a multimeter you can check everything out fairly easy too. Any questions let me know!
Does it have Prop 65?
This one that I have does not have a prop 65 warning. However the company response to some Amazon questions state that some of their products may contain the warning.
Thank you!
I do tile and according to the rules, to determine the grout size you take the tile size deviation and multiply it by 3. That should be your minimum grout size. If you are doing a small area it doesn’t matter. If you really need to make it perfect you can run your pavers through a wet saw. I use 1/16” spacers on anything and everything and ignore the rules and only had a couple times where I had to number rows but 99% of the time it was ok. 1/16” is the minimum grout size you can use.
Maybe just me but I could see the difference. Not too much additional work to measure and organize them.
They should be forced to make pipe protecter into head plastic
It was 11 3/8. 7/16 is the smallest notch behind the 1/2 mark
Well I said some, not specifically that one! 😅
Steel wool will rust and fall out over time, check out Kritter Caps, meant specifically for this purpose
Bit pricey vs steel wool but thanks for the info!
For upstairs hardwood floor squeak areas over floor joists covered by downstairs sheetrock ceiling: I will try break off screws into joists over weighted hardwood, section first, then eject thin epoxy under hardwood. If any squeak remains, I will drill beyond joists, and inject thin epoxy to joists. My Two Cents.
This is great! Thanks! Can you please share the model number of the Moen faucet?

Thanks!
You're welcome, and thank you!
