Oakley's DIY Home Renovation
Oakley's DIY Home Renovation
DIY'ing doesn't have to be difficult, it can be done right, and you can do it too. I show you through videos that anybody can do these DIY projects. I am just a homeowner like you wanting to renovate my home, do it the best way I know how and save money along the way. IT's NOT rocket science! With renovations along with common repairs, maintenance that needs to be done along with different tools used. There are always mistakes being made with any DIY project and I will show you these and how I fixed them, not hide them. Even the professionals make mistakes! By doing these videos my wish is you will be able to see that you too can renovate your own home and do it well. I am NOT in the home construction/renovation/handyman business or sales.

Did the same thing with a chain saw turning the chain bacwards and justcut the trench and used a wooden yard stick and pushed the wire into the crack easy ascan be .
Love your project, I follow your philosophy, one question though why 7 feet?
That's what they were originally set at and didn't want to change it. Thanks for watching.
What a wait for an obvious tool it’s still digging in my book
I'd LOVE to see you try the Elmer's glue and water - I HOPE it works - it could save some $$ ? Maybe?
Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
That was a terrible video there is a WAY better way to do it smfh
Don’t call at&t ……the person in the Philippines or India will only send you a new router………
Periodically spritzing the cutting tool and PVC fitting with cool water using a hand spray bottle may keep both the tool and fitting cool. If the PVC and cutting tool gets too hot, the PVC can begin to soften and melt increasing the torque required to cut the PVC.
Btw. I would still count that as digging. Thank god you got a house with good top soil. Not all of us have them. Even in the country, most don’t know anything these days. You could just use that tool. But still great video
ATT vs code maybe different. I was once licensed as a cable installer. Basically it was below sod was code from what I recall 20 yrs ago. As if everyone does things by code. Electrical and any piping, I always do to NEC code as a dyi guy or any times I help others. I force it. But cable. Idk. That means nope.
Wow...no compromising!
Now just paint all the metal bronze color and put self closing hinges on lol. I’m wondering why you didn’t do feathers after the tar? lol. You and i are very similar but you’re a little crazier in the OCD than me. The tar on everything above the ground has me baffled a bit. I live in Florida and i can’t even see how it would make a fence last longer. I don’t think i wouldve have welded the aluminum-it would just be brackets or face plate supports like our pool screen rooms in Florida -tho the welding does give it a cleaner look. I would’ve stuffed some wood in the end of some joints of the joints and ran a bolt thru to connect and strengthen a lot of joints-in the end I’d have more of a gap all the way around the frame but that gap gets covered by wood slats. But your idea worked great-my patience adhd and OCD would be colliding with project. But it looks awesome and really is easy but i think it probably scared some ppl watching it because you are showing such detail. Ppl probably think you are screwing up but you are showing the custom process that ppl don’t see a contractor do out in their yard and no 2 jobs would be the same.
Some ppl would probably say this will be me when I’m older. I can see it a little. Let’s give a hand to this guy and his age and be able to do this and do it to the extreme. You can see a little bit of arthritis getting him on the way up and down but he’s not letting it stop him and to every one out there that’s what you do when arthritis is trying to turn you into stone and live your life by the saying -“Don’t ever sit down-you might never get back up” This is major overkill and that’s fine it’s his,there’s a ton of people who have tried to beat the system but it never works lol. I’ve been predicting just about everything this dude was going to add as he went. This will be solid and nice but probably add 1-2 yrs or longer depending on many factors. There’s a reason it eventually goes back to the old easy way because you don’t gain much for all your effort-nature wins. Those pound in metal posts I’m going to try on one side of my yard and see how long they last. There’s a hand held machine that pounds them in 3-4 feet and they’re heavy duty-easy to replace if something went wrong and you don’t use cement. Just so ppl know i live in Florida and we have sandy soil-we on,y set them down in 2 feet and most ppl only cement the end posts or gate posts. I cement about every 4-5 posts. Both fences last the same thru nature and storms and we get major storms. In a crazy storm there might be one panel that has issue and that’s just if the storm is wild. So it doesn’t take what you think it does. Sometimes the stiffer something is the more the wind pushes it. That’s why palm trees don’t fall they flex and big oak trees don’t flex and so they fall. A little flexing actually helps. Just think of your body-you stiffen up someone can push you over or you have some give to you and you will absorb them pushing on you. This guy must be bored AF because I’m typing this as he talks and i can’t believe how little he’s actually done and all the unnecessary work but I’m all for him trying all this with his time ,money and back so I’ll watch the whole thing because he deserves it for all this effort-his wife must be shaking her head inside the house and probably heard 17 versions of this project and how he’s going to do it and then changed it and runs it by her and she has to pretend to be into it. lol. Anyway I’m curious and he’s now put a lot of pressure on himself to have this be perfect. It will barely last longer but don’t tell him. Let the country boy science think it beat the system.
Inch and 5/8 screws hhahahah
Nah !
Where I live in Texas, you are required to put the good side of the fence towards your neighbor. Yep, you buy everything and do all the work and your neighbor gets the good side and all for free. 😀
Wow that is crazy. My HOA wants them to be every other one so it is shared but if they don't want to pay for there half then it is all on my side. Thanks for watching.
5 to 6½ bags is absolutely ridiculous. Metal posts would've done you just as good..
You're an absolute fucking moron. This is how cable companies bury cable idiot! I've done it for ten yrs! We use machines with a blade that vibrates and doesn't dig up the ground and plants the cable in the slot and we also use those same shovels to hand trench. So fucking stupid. You didn't show anyone anything new moron
I have the same one. Works good 👍
Great, I am quite pleased with mine. Thank you for watching.
The rebar is just wrong 😆😉
This is why i diy. I’d rather do a halfway decent job for free than to pay someone my life savings to make a mess of it all.
Built to last, but stick the post into dirt and how will the bottom post dry itself when the post absords water from the exposed top part....😅 Never heard of metal post, or if you insist on timber, a metal post bracket?
At least he marked your sprinkler lines so you don't dig through them.
Give this man his own show! Engaging, detailed and amazing attitude & final product! I love the mentality to save what’s worth saving and not tossing what can be repaired with some effort and pride! Bless this man and his channel! Subbed. I’ll be learning new skills here I didn’t even know I needed.
Thank you very much. Thrilled you liked the video and was able to learn something. Thank you for watching.
How about just take to scrap yard .
I like your table!! Thanks for the great video!! I use Merv 11's through Filter Buy. I have an American Standard Variable System, it doesnt have a problem with these filters
Glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching.
Yeah ok nobodys gonna do all that. People cant even wait 4 seconds in traffic or 6 seconds at the microwave.
Don't throw it in the trash recycling in the metal
Don’t know who you are! It’s my first time watching, but the way you focus on longevity in the build make me sub
Why is your black spring still rubberbanded to your handle? You called it a pocket or belt loop??
should of went with steel post then you would got over a 100 years out of it
nice work
Thanks
Wow!! very nice work, come do mine now.
Thank you, sorry mine is enough LOL, thank you for watching both videos.
Bunker by the Bon Fire setup makes sure they are disabled too. They have blowout valve...something definitely blows out anyways.
Wow what a waste of time.
over the top
Ahh nice. Used the screw trick already but the washer one.. another trick in the bag lol. Because I hateee when washer stick to cardboard smh
$200??? Nah. I’ll just use my edger and pop pieces out
Amazing work
Thanks a lot 😊
Same HVAC keep air flow will be same even with ANY filter, clean, dirty, any MERV rate. It will be compensate by blow, haw hard blow will work and how many resource and electricity will be used. Filter in HVAC use to clean air to prevent dirty accumulate in system. It is very expensive way to use HVAC to clean air in house. Mach more efficient to use air purifier, most expensive cost hundreds of $, it times cheep compare with HVAC, or it can be DIY for less then $100 by using 4 MERV 13 filters.
You can add more portland concrete to the concrete bag. The portland bag is pricier, but adding a little portland into the bag crete can be done.
Looks very good. But for me I would have used an edger. But still looks 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching.
AWSOME!! 👍👍
Thank you, glad you liked it, thank you for watching.
I saw one guy use schedule 80 PVC pipe in 8 inch diameter. He buried it down 2 feet like a regular fence post but filled the entire pipe with concrete. Then filled the base in with 2 bags of concrete. The brackets that held the wood were screwed on prior so he didn't have to drill into the concrete.
No one is gonna talk about that there is no tube at the start and then the clip happened
That fence in the background is hideous. I bet they use White Trash bags…..
yes ti is and surprisingly it has lasted as long as it has. Thanks for watching.
I tried liquid mask for the first time today and only did 1 coat which was apparently too thin… biggest mistake ever. More is better from my experience
yes, needs a "thick" coat to work well. thanks for watching
Wow, it's a very nice fence.
Thank you, thanks for watching.
@@OakleysDIYHomeRenovation101 You still read these? Well hello then, how are you today? That is a very nice fence. I have to go back and see how you did the foundation.
For the price of that spade - I could pay the neighborhood kids to dig a trench with their fingernails and teeth.
Your fence is backwards. The braces should ALWAYS face you, so that it is much much harder for someone to climb your fence from the other side, and very easy for you to climb out (specially with the 3 braces you used)...
