    Thanks so much for this video. I was debating calling a plumber or replacing the valve with 2 Shark Bite fittings. Haven’t done it yet but this will be way easier, with no soldering.

    Finally. I searched for 'install door trim' tips on YT. EVERYONE presumes you not only have an air compressor, but also a brad nailer. Thanks for remembering our mere mortality.

    A simple lamp socket replacement became complicated when the lamp cord had no characteristic to distinguish between the hot and neutral wires. A multimeter continuous test solved the problem.

    I'm a plumber and I have to dig a lot through all kinds of ground. Squatting before lifting the shovel is crucial for saving your back. Your gonna feel it as your legs and but get stronger but its worth it. I choke up on the grip towards the head of the shovel if the ground is moist and heavy to keep the weight more central and not 3' out in front of me pulling on my lower back.

    Thank you! Glad this was here. I have a 2013 Kenmore 400. Works great being as I vacuumed it out twice the last 6 years. Watched another trouble shooting video that started with the thermal fuse. and ended with the door switch. It removed the back panel, dial dashboard and them the top. After watching, I checked the door switch and it was broken. My dryer is in a place where the exhaust tubing is difficult to replace. Thought I look for a video for replacing the switch . This saved me a lot of time and frustration.

    Do NOT cut the top leaves off of the plants when they are young. Only the lower branches that are below the first blossom clusters. These are leaves that get splashed by rain .

    It's a beautiful idea but as you were speaking it was dripping sugarwater. You could see the bubbles. It's very dangerous for a hummingbird to get sugarwater on its feathers most of the time they perish because they can't fly and starve to death

    This was a really good video and explanation. I was able to see where the leads and settings were going because of the stable camera work and time on images. I wasn't able to see the microscopic analog readings and think this might motivate me to buy a digital meter. Deciphering readings isn't something I really want to leave to chance. Thanks for making the video!

    I watched this video for one reason--- to see which side of the door is the outside and which is the inside. The video did not indicate this at all! My door definitely is designed one side deep screened and the other side is shallow, not symmetric! It matters on my door. It's not plastic, but traditional wood. 😟

    So you recommend we illegally dump hazardous chemicals into the environment? None of the paint companies recommend what he is doing. They and all professionals recommend cleaning in a bucket, then properly disposing of water or chemicals. If you clean paint in your sink or tub, you will be paying a plumber to fix it sooner or later.
