How To Fix a Sunken Electrical Outlet | Why The Easy Way Is Illegal
Put your template up and cut out drywall before removing existing. Gives you more room to work without wallboard in your way.
OH MY GOD. I seriously thought I was listing my mind. THANK YOU.
Isn’t a lightweight spackle better than using drywall compound? Because it will dry quicker and won’t shrink.
No attic access required, here let me cut out a big chunk of drywall so I have access to the attic.
So is she married with children or is she available
Well…. For me, just changing the vent cover alone was perfect and easy!!! No need to changing out the fan!!! Love the work!!!
@@SLLLC-904 thanks! The fan motor wasn’t working so it needed to be replaced but a new cover is an excellent solution!
@@DaruDhillon Awesome! Great work on your part for at least showing the process!!! Thank you!!!
Well this escalated quickly! Just paint the old yellow cover white.
@@peterpowers4851 that’s a good idea! The motor wasn’t working either and I wanted to test out this fan. Glad I did!
@@DaruDhillon good work on the install. I imagine even if it did work it would have been very loud compared to the new one.
Thank you for posting this. It was very helpful. Some additional information though; Carbon monoxide detection should be done at the lowest points of each floor, as it is heavier than air. This means that by the time it reaches the ceiling, the house could be at dangerous levels. For this reason, it’s good to have separate detectors plugged in to outlets outside of bedrooms too.
@@robertsmithington8892 thanks for the tip on carbon monoxide detection. It’s a good point. In my home I have additional carbon monoxide detectors in the bedrooms plugged into outlets and in the furnace room. Always important to consider when you have a gas furnace or appliances.

The problem I have when it comes hanging out the ceiling . Is putting it back on the frame.
@@FredaRivers yes I hear you that is the most challenging part
So handy. I'm in love.
How would you go about a yard with a slope???
@@fregando2006 You can use deck blocks with the joists for the highest part. As the slope increases you can use 4x4 posts in the blocks to account for the slope. Attaching your joists to the posts. I’d check your local code to see what is required for raised decks. They will often need posts set in concrete. Thanks!
I’m the least mechanically inclined person I know. The simplest things are often monumental to me, including the task in this video. It always seems simple until I actually start. Then invariably some problem will arise.
should’ve used 6.75+6.75-25.=11.5 in run perfect stare every time
hellll to the no. I'll pay someone! lol
@@HOLLYHOUSE11 knowing what is right for you is important! Trusting yourself is the way to go. ❤️
Spray paint fan cover, what a waste of resources
@@kenwhitman1055 the motor was dead and I learned a lot in the process. All good!
Can you tile on painted walls? Or should you remove the semi gloss paint?
@@user-mz5vw5sm8g these walls were tiled on primed drywall but I tile over painted walls too. You can go over paint as long as it’s in good shape. You can check the instructions on the tile adhesive to be safe. Good question. Thanks!
I didn't seem to see, at what point she tells when to turn the breaker back on...?...
@@calcio777 before you test the smoke detector
@@DaruDhillon Ok, I see it now! I went back and watched that part again, and I see that even though she did not "vocally" say the words out loud, there are visible words printed on the video. Thanks!😀
If you only have 2 wires and no ground on old house does it matter which wire goes where? Thanks.
shes annoying
hey mam do you need a editor?
i guess your marketing deck blocks
@@walterorr7446 I haven’t done any sponsorships on the channel yet. When I do it will be clear and stated in the video. I really like this product, it makes deck building a lot easier for me and I like the low profile look. I put the same energy and enthusiasm into drywall tape. Any innovation that makes my job easier, safer and better. Thanks for the comment!
@@DaruDhillon easier more costly
Ok ok you just made me feel like I could really do this! I've been dreading replacing mine. Your confidence is infectious. Great video!
@@user-cr7mn1th4g thanks! You can do so much more than you think. We all can. ❤️
How does it ding dong inside the house?
Good day, i would like to be your video editor. I can edit videos in your niche
Thanks for your interest. I’ll contact candidates through the job posting.
I watched the whole video, but I’m not sure if you mentioned how to also take them out. Is that a permanent solution? No undo?
@@BboyWalzy it’s a permanent solution no need to take them out. Typically when anchors are removed that would require patching. I have a helpful video on how to patch small holes in drywall. I think you’d want to avoid that though. Thanks for the question!
So, I'm wondering how she cut overhead drywall with an oscillating multi-tool without getting covered in dust? I would have looked like a ghost!
@@thadsgudenuff it’s still a mystery to me too. :)
Looks beautiful ❤️ I did this around my yard the for years it was wonderful here then this 74 year lady next door let her grandkids break all the branches and play in them
Hello this video is helpful the stain you mention below Nano where do i purchase that from? Im in Ontario Canada. Keep up.the great videos
Thanks! There’s a link in the description box and I also have a link to my Amazon Canada store. It’s there in the Deck Building section. Enjoy your summer!
how did you decide on the number of stringers to instal ? 2ft centers ok ?
I installed these at 16" o/c which is common and strong. You'd have to check your local code to see what is required where you live.
Go ahead and check the prices of 6ft Arborvitaes compared to 2ft.
When I started hedging cedars were $19 approx. for 6 footers. This year especially the price has increased dramatically. Plant what you can afford, nature and patience takes care of everything. They will be beautiful whatever size you plant.
@@DaruDhillon I went with the 2 footers about 12 years ago to save money ...but man did it take time before they provided any privacy. Took a good 5,6 years. Now they are about 12 feet tall.

Thank-you. All the best with your build!
I think i'm in love with you girl ❣❣ we could do with some decent Chippy's over here in Australia, well done.
Thank-you! Hello to you in Australia! ❤
what spacing do you recommend for Green Giants for a fast formal hedge?
Green giants are really big, I'd plant according to the instructions on the tag. Have patience they will be gorgeous once they are planted!
Awesome
Thanks Michael, back at you!
I see your pressure treated boards don’t have holes in them. But all I can find are pressure treated boards with holes all over them.
@@dannymoloshok5597 that’s an issue locally here too. Not as bad last year. I’m going to have to source it from another store. Fencing too. Good point. May you find some good lumber.
Excellent ! Will you marry me
Sucks when they burn out and you can’t replace the lightbulb
Retired carpenter here. Lots of new types of hardware and fasteners available that was not around in the old days. Very good stuff. Just a tip to the wise; if you're going to be using skill saws and other loud machinery, use ear protection! Trust me, you don't want to get tinnitus like I did.
@@guzzirob thank you for sharing your tip about ear protection it’s so important. I’m going to get on that asap. Very kind of you. I appreciate it.
And eye protection too!prevention is better than a cure
Do you still need to water them after 10 years? I thought they were less maintenance after roots are established
@@Feedfront the first summer/fall is the most critical. Second year water during heat waves, dry spells. After that they are established and low maintenance. Good question. Thanks!
Props for mentioning it at all regarding the bottom riser being shorter than the rest but I thought you might have spent a little more time explaining the reason. I thought you would return to it as you were installing the treads. This is without a doubt the most common mistake people make when first building a set of stairs. If you miss it and the deck is being inspected, it will fail, so it’s important.
Thanks for taking the time to comment on this. I'll keep that in mind for next time. It's a good point. You are right in that it's the most common mistake people make. Appreciate your feedback!
no caption? you sucks
I hate trims in a modern house. They look farm style. A slick look is far more classy. Thank you for sharing your method to get that slick look. Nice job.
Thanks! This style of trim is the most common for renovations and new construction where I live. I agree it's a nice clean look.
I have to do this job in my house right now. I'm definitely just going to pay somebody else to do this, it looks like a whole Saturday if I do it.
Ultimately what matters is that you make a choice that’s best for you. All the best!
Young lady are you related to Harmeet Dhillon?
Not that I know of!
@@DaruDhillon Thank you for replying. I enjoy your carpentry blog and I enjoy watching you as you are an attractive young lady. No, I'm not hitting on you, I'm old enough to be your grandfather or even great-grandfather, furthermore the "Boss" would kick my a**.
Most of what I saw I already knew. The joist tape is VERY important and pressure treated does not mean it won't rot so anything you can do to slow down the rot ( water is the main culprit ) will reward you down the road
Thanks for sharing your tips with us!
CHECK THE DECIBLES ON THESE NOISY THINGS!! WORTH BUYING A BETTER ONE!!
I did a db test. Mine was really good. That’s why the reviews are so good on Amazon. If yours is high it could be an installation problem like something is not secured properly. Have you checked?
@@DaruDhillon It was just kind of a warning. I am a contractor and some are so noisy and of poor quality (cheapest ones). It's worth upgrading to a decent one. Not worth saving a buck and listening to it for yrs and yrs.
This is excellent, straightforward and easy to understand. I appreciated all the comments and will read through all of them before I attempt this project. We took down a ceiling fan (bigger hole) and added a can light....what do you recommend to add the dry with a smaller circle - two halves or one square with the round hole for the can light?
The plastic rail clips won't fit this way on a 10" bottom drawer. I had to raise the clip 1 hole and only use 1 screw.
Appreciate you sharing your feedback on your drawer. Thanks Brad!
I was wrong! The 10" drawer front are upside down. Sticker at top. The holes are spaced slightly different, and everything fits great if you follow your direction and also flip the front.
Pro tip!! measure from the top of the deck along where the top of your stairs will be at both ends the snap a line and follow that line. Throw away the level as you can see if the deck is off level, @ 11:18 your stairs will look off level and looks unprofessional. Your eyes tell you when things are off level, and you can fool them if it looks even. You can even go the extra mile and straighten the deck if you need too!! Also put your deck boards tight as they shrink 🙂
Thanks for sharing your tips on stair building. If your wood is wet the deck boards can be installed tight. I'm not installing wet wood so that doesn't work here but can for our American viewers depending on where you live. This lumber has a lower moisture content. I like to use a levels, you'll see them often on this channel. If you have great eyes, go for it! Love hearing from you. Appreciate your feedback!
@@DaruDhillon Nothing to do with great eyes?? If you measure each side of the stairs and chalk a line, you will be even with the original deck level there for it will look even?? If you are worried about the level, then straighten out the top deck?? When one side is not even with the other side you automatically think it is not level. You can fool the eye by making the measurement the same at both ends. Levels have their place but, in this case, not needed!! Ok makes sense if the wood is dry to space it but if wet definitely install them tight 🙂
