How can I get start?
When you make a reservation for a one way truck, they will contact you with offers.
How did you cut out the vertical baseboards around the front lip of the cabinets? Router?
I don't really understand the question.
Nice refresher I forgot how to do the connections after a year of two. Thanks. Thanks alot. ~ Brian
@@brianinthepark5429 thank for watching and commenting.
I don’t know anything about generators, about how many watts is good enough for a whole house?
It depends on your electrical requirements. All of my major appliances are natural gas, I have LED lighting, etc. If I do not run my clothes dryer and limit hot water usage, I can get by with a 6500-watt unit. But if you have central air conditioning, an electric stove, etc, you may require 9000, 10000, or 12000 watts. Some people install a transfer panel that limits what can be used when on generator, like essentials (lights, refrigerator, etc.). Then, they can use a smaller generator, even though they have a higher overall demand.
You could beadboard the ceilings.
That is an option!
New Paint Please! 🖌
Color suggestion?
Partial to lighter greens with white trim.
@k26kv31 good choice!
That looks like quite the project. Good luck, Scott!
Thanks, it's going to be fun watching the transformation.
Thanks! I have been trying to get spray after an initial 5 second success. Been fiddling with an assumed blockage. Off I go to hot water soak and full shake prep.👌🏻
Good Luck!!!
Dude. YOUARE THE MAN!
I'm thinking this helped you fix your ice maker?
What size screw are you using to go into the actual cleat?
I think it was a 3/4" pan head wood screw.
I've had mine for 4 yrs only has 20hr ran my old Lennox hvac 3ton (from 2007) no issues.. I had to replace it this year will be doing a new test very soon on a carrier 3 ton. One would think it would be more energy efficient but let's see
Mine has less time than that! It's like I scared away the ower outages!
The bend in the hose accumulates leaves, like in a U trap, and builds resistance to the vacuum intake.. Make the hose rigid so it will be an upside down J. You'll notice power increas😂
Almost like a gravity assist.
Hey , you got any idea what's causing my ryobi circular saw to cut off after a few seconds being turned on ? I guess it's eitherr the trigger switch or motor ? Don't even get to put it into lumber it just cuts off
Check the contacts inside, and does it do it with different batteries? One of my multi-tools has worn clip stops, so the battery drops out too. Finally, never use a saw with a battery lower than 4ah.
So what's happening with the adapter? Been 2 years, no?
Still on the "to do" list. 🙁
What about the AC unit.???
Can't turn it on, if I don't have one. Most houses in my area do not have A/C installed.
I wish I had that problem!
What's going on?
Were you able to run your central AC unit with that generator?
I don't have central A/C
Window AC’s or portable?
@waltercp49 We have a window unit. But rarely use it. Our power outages are in the winter (wind and rain) only need A/C for about a week in July when it gets into the 80s.
But why don’t you recycle at home?
I do recycle. That was just the trash portion.
@@DadItYourselfDIY you didn’t sort cans tho? Aren’t cans recyclable?
@Josh-os4qk I didn't notice any cans. If there were, it's because the kids threw it in the wrong bag.
OMG! I did the same.
Hopefully, this helps to fix it!!
I love that Wilsonart pattern. I think it looks a lot nicer to skip the 4" backsplash and just tile directly down to the countertop. But since you were not tiling, that turned out really nice looking.
Thanks!
What type of turf is that
It's Scott's Pacific Northwest Mix (Perrinial Rye, Tall Fescue, Kentucky Blue Grass)
That’s exactly what I did and now my lawn is terrible 😂
It can be fixed!!
Bellesa natural, inconparable
It is a sight!
rip u got put on the ramp
Yeah. I hate the ramp!
What’s a good budget to hire someone for a job like this?
About $1000-$1200
I wonder how this would work with a 4.5 drip edge/eave flashing. Not sure how I would attach it at that point. Thanks.
You may have to screw into the rafter tails.
@@DadItYourselfDIY There will be hardiboard fascia covering those. So I am thinking I could predrill through the flashing and fascia in back and use the roofing nails to attach the vinyl gutter holders.
@affordabledesertliving3487 I'd recommend stainless steel screws. Getting a hammer and nail in there may be a challenge.
@@DadItYourselfDIY what about stainless steel roofing screws that have the little rubber washer? That way it would be self sealing since I am going to be puncturing my flashing and the fascia behind it. Thank you for your kind answers.
@affordabledesertliving3487 The screw goes through the hanger, so the washer will not touch the face of the fascia. A regular screw will be fine.
Quick question. I just hooked up my ryobi generator the way you explained. Somehow the voltage meter is not showing the output and have no energizing out of it. Did you experience anything like this?
No. Make sure you have switched it to RUN and all the breakers are pushed in..
Sometimes the GFCI outlets on the generator trip and it cuts power to the 240V L14-30 outlet for the house.
@projectswithjw good to know.
I'm no expert, but anyone watching this video, be aware that you have a very important break in for a new generator you have to perform before putting it to work like this, and you also need to let it come up to temperature before puttload on it, and throw the breakers WAY slower, maybe 5mins between additional load. rest is awesome. thanks for sharing!!
Great advice!!
This was the most useless video i have ever seen on a help video.
It's a short. Not meant to be a tutorial.
Screw all this😂. Get a 20k portable generac, fuel injected, key start, build a whip , 50 AMP. Your generator doesn't power your entire house! First breaker on after firing up with a small generator like this is your furnace and AC and listen to load. Turn AC all the way down unless you have a soft start installed. Then hit 120 volt breakers. If your electric was tested with everything on house, something to do before you buy a generator, then hit water heater, dryer,........ stove, ............ Do you have a heater/AC because I didn't hear you say you turned them on🤔🤔 Pro tip, I love my family so get a true #6 with #10-#12 ground for 50 amp #8 for 30amp, Icbar makes them cords for harbor freight 🤣. Your electrician can make you a 30'-50' whip rather than an electrical mishap and I seriously, by the weight you were holding is a true #8 and #10 is pushing it at 30amps. Your electrician should have told you this. That many square foot, install a 50Amp plug. If your Ryobi is only 30amps , keep for camping. Another pro tip is all LED lights. Since you're hiring an electrician, generators have apps to monitor the amps as your provider has ZERO clue about your amps drawn on your appliances. Left out storing it too. FULL and gas treatment lasts for about 18-24 months and start every 30 days. 6500watts , no way on water heater and im assuming 4-5 ton based on video of homes unless you're giving up appliances. Generac or Cummings portables go up to 40k. I myself use a 20k EFI generac and 30k on other home in south as I have 3 4 ton ACs. About $4800 20k and 6k 30k for generac and $750 for accessories. Plus electrician if you require one. Power everything and have outlets for neighbors fridges. BTW, do you get coupons on Ryobi?? Asking for a friend! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣. .
It powers MY house. I only have two 240v draws, and one of them is a clothes dryer.
@@DadItYourselfDIY no central?
@joey8567 Nope. Just a gas furnace running on 110v blower.
@@DadItYourselfDIY no air?
@joey8567 no.
Would it work with the A/C ?
If the generator is sized appropriately, yes.
What about A/C
I don't have an A/C, you will have to size your generator for the higher electrical load.
I have this bad boy running some fans and the fridge at the moment. That a sweet little set up though.
Thanks!
Do you have the AC unit on it also?
I do not have air conditioning. As stated in the video, you will need to size the generator for your electrical load.
Nope.
Didn't work?
I know this is an old video. But, would this also handle central AC?
Depends on your electrical load. The unit is rated for 6500wa, which handles my house. I do not have central A/C.
You didnt mention turning on the Central A/C circuit?? Does your generator not include enough power for AC? Thanks
No, my house does not have central air, only a natural gas forced air furnace that runs 110v.
So you only need a little bit of a stud to frame a non load bearing wall closet. Noted.
Yes. It's really just a place to hand the doors!!
@@DadItYourselfDIY I may go a little deeper than 24" due to studs, and to match the original closet (that I stupidly took out). Just trying to make the same but longer.
@Joetime90 in my case I went at a minimum because it was already a small room, and the original closet was in the back wall but became part of a bathroom remodel.
@@DadItYourselfDIYI also appreciated that you showed the depth of the closet being dependent on the drywall, no other video or Google search was straight about it. It seems common sense. But guess for a DIYer who's gonna use 3/8 or 1/2 drywall to finish it, it helps a lot. I figured as much, but I'm always super cautious before cutting anything at all. Also, I think your bump out is called a return, especially if it's a bit longer. I saw a video of a guy using anchors to screw studs into existing walls and ceilings where he couldn't find studs. I don't like the idea. How do you feel about it? Also the caulk tip did drive me mad, but I understand.
@Joetime90 the only solution to the stud would be either cut the wall and install blocking or use anchors in addition to the screws/nails you can land in the top and bottom plates of the supporting wall.
Thank you sir!
You're welcome!!
I am gonna make one of these that you can also disconnect it so that you can also have it stay up when the garage is open.
Should be easy enough.
@@DadItYourselfDIY Yeah I am going to add another hook to the wall at the proper distance to pull the ball all the way up to the eye. Then I will add a carabiner clip tot he end of my string that attaches to the garage. When I want to deactivate the ball from coming down I just unclasp it from the garage and attach it to the new eyelet on the wall =D
@NewYears1978 perfect!
might be a dumb question, but were you also able to run your a/c or heater unit ? i have a 5 ton unit and i was wondering if you can also run it
My furnace is a 20amp gas unit with a 110v blower. I do not have A/C
Great video! Can you drop a link to the sound device that you wired up for the beep?
I used a 400hz piezo from Amazon (smoke alarm) never got it perfect. Needs to be 480hz with the right "decay". Probably with and Arduino. amzn.to/45XhKmr
I wanted to post a Thank You for these leaf vac videos and for the adapter you made. I just tried out your adapter with the B&D bag, and it makes a huge difference! I have a tolerate/hate relationship with my leaf vac. If not for your fixes, this thing would be in a landfill by now. I was a little unsure about the B&D bag vs. the garbage can solution, but I am really glad I went with the B&D bag. Having the bag on your back is not bad at all; you barely feel the weight. The only negative I would say (and this is a small nit) is that because of the location of the hose, you are forced to always use the tool righthanded. I did put a screw through your adapter to keep it in place. I may also epoxy on a small clip for the bag side of the adapter. You have turned this tool from a huge pain the neck into an actually useable product!
Thanks for the feedback it's appreciated!!
Did you sand the switch or the housing,and what did you use. I just got a replacement switch from Arnold Custom Creations and it`s a little tight
I did have to adjust my print a little bit. If that doesn't work out, I found a factory replacement part. Link is in the video description.
Same story as many others , roughly 3 year old unit, touched edge of lawn edging and done! Disassembled and found the classic shattered top gear, cheap pot metal go figure it shattered. So I guess I’m “lucky” I got 3 years… But it’s still in very good shape otherwise although no replacement parts so off to the landfill SMH.
It's crazy that they don't offer repayment parts!!
Thanks for the video I’ve been shopping around and the cost for a headboard with ports/charging is making this DIY that more awesome!
Glad it helped!!
hey, can you post the link to where you found the tip? I have the same issue. Thanks!
Link is in the video description. But here it is: amzn.to/3EGfWC3
@@DadItYourselfDIY thanks!
@RonnieRokkSmith You're welcome!
Can you make me one?! I'll buy it!! 😂 I love it! Good job!
Yes, can you pay for shipping?
This was one of the first things that I "fixed" at my mom's home after my dad passed away. Got on the computer found the replacements and now I won't get a call about the smoke alarm chirping...we live 5 hours away. I also bought the long-life batteries specially made for smoke alarms and made labels with my label maker so I could read when everything was replaced from the ground. I did buy extra batteries to have on hand because her power goes out for routine BPA powerline maintenance as well as in stormy weather so depending on how often that happens, I might need to change out the batteries sooner, rather than later.
They recommend batter changes every six months, but no one actually does that, sadly. The local fire department will usually assist as well.
I want one!
We can custom build one for you for $8,000.00 plus delivery and setup.
