Can I use a screwdriver or is a drill necessary?
@catheyharris6039 Yes, you can use a 🪛 screwdriver to puncture the wall slightly to help the wall anchor get started. Then, use screwdriver to screw in anchor. If the anchor is not going in, that means there is hard wood, and you will need a drill to get screws in wood. Most of the time, there is only dry wall and not hard wood. You will be OK with screwdriver. Goodluck
That steam wand! 🤢 also those are notorious for having a portafilter collar screws come loose and you have to take the entire machine apart to fix it. I just did it last week. Sometimes the gasket only solves the problem for a week or 2 before it starts to leak again and that is a tell tale sign of a loose pf collar.
@ianshepherd6476 how long have you owned your espresso machine? That has not happened to me yet.
So I got it from a guy that bought it 2 or 3 years ago and he thought it was broken beyond repair as he kept blowing through gaskets. I spent about 5 hours pulling the thing apart to get to the pf collar screws. It’s a known issue but the gasket is the easiest fix until that stops working to resolve the problem. I have a profitec go so it’s not my main machine just a project machine
This is beautiful! Where can I buy the Japanese plant?
Sometimes you can find them cheap at Home Depot but foresure Star Nursery has the Japanese Blueberry Tree.
It would have been better and stronger if you had installed a 2x4 across the wall into the studs. The attach the shelves to that 2x4 vs that metal strapping.
@brianb1599 I could have stacked them on each other. I could not do it going across because 8ft is still 8ft across. and the screws still fall in the same place. I knew this hack would work because fleximounts overhead storage brackets only hang on screws and nothing else. It's strong enough and also gets support by those hanging thick wiring from the ceiling. I know it's an eye sore but it's covered anyway by the stacked storage. I'm glad you pin- pointed that hardship that can happen. This hacked worked for me for uneven studs. That aluminum metal strip was on the studs on both sides so it. Could reach. Its not in drywall.Thanks for watching.
@@vegasminimansion A single 2x4 across your studs, it doesnt matter where the studs are at as the 2x4 is secured to them. From there you mount the shelves to the 2x4 and you can screw them anywhere along that 2x4. If your studs were 24 O.C., you could lag the 2x4 to the them but then still place your bolts at 16 O.C.
@brianb1599 ahhh I understand what you're saying now. Yes, I saw that example. Looks like you would have to take out all the dry wall and seem like a whole lot of work. Yes I wish the builder of this new home would have thought of this. Lol
We planted 5 gallon trees on the back side of our pool last fall, and unfortunately while our house was under renovation they weren’t getting regular water. They started to come back this spring, but with this excessive heat, I fear we will lose them. We have increased water to 6 gallons morning & evening & I recently fertilized. Really appreciate your video… I hope we can save them ❤
5-6 gallons per day is perfect in summer 4-5 days a week. Don't forget that Alaska Fish Fertilizer is awesome. You can find it at Lowes. You should see new leaves sprouting in 3-4 weeks. Thanks for watching.
3:13 nah bruh do another video of you finding one on the ceiling
You really want me to fall off the ladder while filming 😅. I'll make a short video for ya in shorts within a week.
I have a dark reddish stain on my carpet which all I can think of it being is either hair dye or some super old Pepsi stain or something but I cannot get it to come out, have tried an iron, peroxide and ammonia and still nothing 😭 anything able to do it?
Unfortunately, if it's hair dye, that means you dyed the carpet,and no cleaner can get that out. But you can re dye it the color of the carpet. Look up " CARPET DYE" and DYE the carpet to your color. Look it up on Amazon.
thanks this was helpful
No problem, my next video will be another carpet cleaning remedy. Watch out for it. Thanks for watching.
thanks for the review, I just bought the same one.
You got so lucky, easily this chair is a 5000 dollar chair for really cheap. Try the DEEP STRETCH auto mode, and DEEP SLEEP first. I listen to Indian native flute music on youtube Bluetooth to those speakers that make it more relaxing. You'll enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
Can you use a carpet shampooer to suck up the liquid?
You sure can. Just make sure that carpet shampooer has good suction. Many people don't do proper maintenance on the shampooer to make sure the suctioning power is working. Cleaning the filters inside shampooer gives more suction power.
Excellent video
Thank you 😊

Will a gardenia survive in full sun at the moment here in Vegas
If you're going to have a gardenia in Las Vegas. I believe mine is surviving because my backyard wall blocks most of the sun for most of the day. I don't think a gardenia can handle the Vegas sun all day only for a few hours. Under a shaded area like a big tree or under patio ceiling would be fine.
@@vegasminimansion I’ll try it in a pot and maybe see what it likes best, am sun or pm sun?
@carol4604 I like AM sun. Just don't have it in direct sun all day. The flowers and leaves will burn. My gardenias probably only see 2 hours sun. The shaded area where the sun partially hits the plant will be perfect.
Parallel or perpendicular 😉. Thank you for the video. I like your ingenuity to use bungee cords to grow a third arm. You are the type of man I like to be friends with.
Glad you were able to understand how much easier it is to use the cords! Hope you accomplish! Stay tuned for more good hacks around the house.
Thanks for the step by step upholstery cleaning tips . I have the all in one Bissell steam cleaner, it do not extract as well as your extracter. The way you explained each step made more since expecially in the High Touch zones, such as the arm rest; your method got it clean, whereas, my machine will not get into the problems areas without causing damage tothe fabric. I will try your method of Deep Cleaning, and do touch up with my machine. Thanks.
Thank you for realizing my STEP by STEP approach. Yes, the crucial part of this video is making sure you work in sections for the best results. 😊 Thanks for watching.
It is normal for the Japanese blueberry tree for the leaves turn red the brown then they fall. It's normal and happens every spring. Then around August (as we speak my tree is barley starting to grow these flowers but it just little green pebbles right now) or so they will start making small flowers. I bought one April last yr and it does that as well. And reading articles online this is what they do in Spring. My wife loves it when the leaves turn red and then they fall. It looks beautiful watching the tree be mixed green and red. But yeah your tree looked like it was lacking nutrients my leaves don't look like that even when turning red they don't look like they lack nutrients or water. When they turn red they stay as big as they were when they were green and then they fall the same size. I also bought my tree from Moon Valley Nurseries but here in Texas lol
How u get bleach out carpet
The trick is to use carpet dye. You have to dye the bleached area. You can find carpet dye for your carpet color online.
Glad you got out of the Carpet cleaning Game! 😅
Mee, too! Those homes were horrible! 😂
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful, I will have more cleaning vids!
I have a white shag rug, that has just general matting and its definitely not white in some places from foot traffic. We dont wear shoes over it but it is still dirty. Do you think a really good carpet cleaner vacuum will be sufficient to brighten up the carpet again?
Yes, take that shaggy rug outside, drench it down with water hose, soak it, then use carpet cleaning soap, by pouring it on rug, actually Dawn dish soap works wonders, then get a Rubber hair removal brush broom, then rake the rug slowly to agitate soap into rug, after lathering soap into rug, drench rinse the rug again with water, while soaked then use a WET VACUUM like the one I recommended in Description, you can also find them at Home Depot. Make sure it has WET FILTER. Making the rug wet and then immediately vacuum gets all the dirt out easier. Then suck all the moisture out of the carpet with the CREVICE TOOL or UTILITY TOOL that comes with vacuum. After you suck all the filth. Take your spray hose, and rinse one more time. Then vacuum again. You will have a perfect clean rug again. 😊 I will make a video on this and do my rug soon on my channel. Your not using the typical vacuum you see at Target, your shaggy strands would get stuck in rollers and also the vacuum power is not strong enough.
Id love a video! I actually was able to use the hoover vac pretty good but im sure it only cleaned subpar, however when i move in a few months i may do this method then use the vaccum for the drying steps!!!
@seagirl0384 Glad you got the idea. Yes, I will make a video soon! Thanks for watching.

@@vegasminimansion thank you so much bro 🙏 your awesome..
Wow I’m going to do this this weekend. I have some white Nike shoes fabric too and are discontinued and they are beautiful and I have tried washing them with a toothbrush and some special white cleaner spray I purchased on Amazon but it barely work. I never thought about using my Ryobi pressure washer . Thanks man
Make sure you don't use the most strongest setting because the sprayer is strong and can tear the shoe. You know it's a good setting when the water fans out instead of a straight line spray. Thanks for watching.
I am curious on what you are talking about a wet vacuum??
A WET/DRY Vacuum is extremely versatile and has a strong suction to pick-up liquids and larger debris that regular vacuums can't do. I linked one in the description to show what one looks like. Thanks for watching.
thanks for the video. where did you get the drapery hooks?
When you purchase curtains from Pottery Barn, they are included. If you just want to purchase hooks you can find them on ebay here www.ebay.com/itm/295706481986
THANK YOU!! I found that lil tool in Wal-Mart. Gonna try this today
Anytime, so glad you tackled it! 😊
Just found you! West Vegas guy here so had to subscribe. The bird of paradise I have one for years and it is flowering now. Mine is planted the ground in front of an east facing wall. Does great on it's own, I use fish fertilizer and or miracle grow, great results.
Awesome! I hope I get flowers on my bird of paradise this year. I'll be making a video on spring watering today. It's a good reminder bringing up the fish fertilizer. Thanks for tuning in. My goal is to help people with their 🏡
As far as I know, Peroxide will discolor because it acts like a bleaching agent. Although, I could be wrong 🤔 Also, white vinegar, salt, baking soda, dish soap and water works wonders. Mix all & pour into a spray bottle. I didn’t think it would work, but OMG all my stains came out instantly! I did this on my pillows just last week. 🥰 Awesome tip though! Thx for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! About the peroxide, that is good mentioning. A low grade 3 % peroxide will be fine. Almost all homes use low-grade peroxide. The important part of this video is to add heated water to the stain and try the best to extract while not spreading the stain. Using a wet vacuum is always preferable because it sucks the stain and moisture from all angles of carpet. Stains can be taken out without vacuum, but it is best.
3% peroxide is fine for all fibers. And even stronger is fine on synthetic fibers.
must always rinse surfactants out or leftover soap residue will attract more dirt thats bigger than otigjnal stain,,,
A WET VACUUM is perfect for that. Splashing more water at the end of cleaning then suctioning the moisture. Thank you for adding that info. @terirodriguez1363
Do you mix equal parts of each “ingredient” to make the spray solution? Thanks.
You forgot mention, don't pick your nose after tooling with your finger. You will regret it for hours.
I had to do a double take and replay my video to make sure I didn't pick my nose. 😅
Since the ceiling brackets are running different then you studs so did you have to get up in. the attic and put blocking in between the ceiling studs?
No blocking needed. Before I made this video. My garage is a 3 car garage. So when I began my project, I thought my Wood planks "studs" would flow all in one direction. I found out later by the builder the flow of wood went in different directions to hold the living space above the garage. For that reason, it's important to use the sensor I used to find the flow direction of wood so I could find good placement for the garage storage. Other parts of the garage and my ceiling wood studs were in L patterns making it difficult. Where I placed my storage was perfect in that one spot because the studs flowed in one direction only, so I placed it there under the light. 😊
Great Job made it look easy.
Hey Marlow I live in Vegas too, will you please come and hang mine as soon as I get a new rod 😂 No seriously
What happen to your rod? I feel your 😢 pain. I would have to verify you on Facebook. I would film the project with you in it. I would post it on KZread to help you do the project. I'm not a contractor. So you must have a ladder 🪜 present. 😊 I'm on here to help people complete mini mansion projects.
Thanks this was super helpful
Thanks for watching. I will have more good cleaning vids in the future. 😊
Why in the first videotape car was left hand drive and the second video right hand drive
The end part of the video footage I filmed it using the selfie camera 🤳 when this happens it flips the image. If you watch it again, look at the license plate on car and you will see the letters and numbers mirror flipped 😮. Thanks for watching.
permanent fix for BMW ... send it to the scrap metal yard #fixed
I feel your pain. I've been lucky to be able to do my own maintenance, but it would be costly if I didn't do it myself.
What size drill bit did you use for the pilot holes?
Use 3/16 drill bit. After drilling pilot hole then it's best to use your power drill in hammer drill mode when putting the lag screw in. It makes it alot easier!
How much do it cost
The links are in the description area. Patio heaters range from $160 range to $250.
Good to know, Would love an update
@vegasminimansion can we break up the total number of gallons needed over two or three different waterings? Or does it have to be all at one time?
So right now is winter so Las Vegas law says you can only water once a week from your irrigation. I personally water once a week for only 30 minutes. My small shrubs get 1/2 gallon, big shrubs 1-2 gallons, and my big tree gets 12 gallons per watering. Yes, you can water your plants twice in that day just make sure your not over watering because those plants can get root rot because it's so cold. Cactus/Succulents will rot in winter if you water too much, cactus go dormant so only need water like once a month, just a cup of water. My winter flowers on porch in pots that they sell at Home Depot I hand water very lightly every 3 days, just a small cup of water. Hope this helps.
@@vegasminimansion thank you! I will set the watering for one time per day. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
@@thomash196 No problem, anytime!

I'm happy you were able to revive it. It is a beautiful tree indeed. Thank you.
It's winter now,so my tree only gets water once a week 12 gallons. No, thank you for watching. These trees are sensitive when they don't get the correct water, especially in the Las Vegas desert.
Wow! You give it 24 gallons of water a day in the summer? How do you measure that? Im in Vegas and have 3 that are huge now, but I just planted 6 new hedges that are 30 gallons each. Not sure if I need to give them more water. 😮 any suggestions would be appreciated. Ty

Tri-Fold Reflector for Patio Heater: amzn.to/491Fw1B
I'm picking up my parents 'dead' Japanese blueberry today. All it's leaves are brown and it's skinny not as think as yours and maybe 8 ft tall. They wanted me to saw it up and throw it out but I'm taking the whole thing and gonna try to revive it. Thank you for your tips!!
Give it the scratch test on the trunk using a sharp tiny rock or anything sharp, if it's green, it still has life. Water that 8ft tree about 5-7 gallons each watering in fall. Summer time gets double that. It's fall so, 3 times a week and 1 day a week in winter. Hope you revive it.
@@vegasminimansion Thank you! Me too!
That light at 4:18 will get hit at some point.
Hip roofs have ceiling joists that run from outside front garage wall to the inside for about 7-8’ from outside of front garage wall so your ceiling joists will be either 16” on center or 24” on center as measured perpendicular to your front garage door wall. Then the ceiling joists will run either 16” on center the other direction so one end of your rack could have ceiling joists running one direction and the other two legs mount to ceiling joists in the other direction. Yep, very confusing. Best to get up in the attic to look at which direction your trusses or ceiling joists run.
