Hi. Thanks for the kind word. I find that if the leather is black, that this black sealant works great. If not then use a close color sealant that is paintable and match a paint to the leather color. I know that many will think this is not a proper fix but it is cheap and easy and durable. Blessings.

Thank you for the kind comment. This idea is for those that don't want to remove bumper and try their hand and banging out dents. Blessings my friend.

Hi. Great question. As long as your electrical wiring is to code and are not exposed to the outside elements, then it is totally safe. I turn off power to the pump and drain as much water pressure as possible before taking out the drain plug and and then turn it back on so the pump runs while you stir up the sediment. Once the water runs clear, turn the pump off again to put the plug back in. Blessings my friend.

Hi. You are correct that 600 psi with nitrogen is what is best. If you want to hire a HVAC tech or rent a cylinder of nitrogen to do this then that would be best but it is costly. I use the sealant on all my flare connections to take care of the micro leaks and use my CO2 tank to check for any big leaks. The cost to do this is cheap and has done very well for me every time. Blessings my friend

Hi. I am sorry but I am retiring this year and am finishing up my current projects. I am going to launch videos on my latest project showing more details in how to build these. If you like a design please email me and I can send you the engineering design so you can have a contractor build one for you or with the aid of my videos that will be launched starting in a few weeks, you can build one yourself with hired help. My email is leadingedgesolar@juno.com Blessings my friend.

Hi. The scope camera has done well for me. I highly recommend it.

Hi. Thanks for the kind comment. I buy all my supplies from solar suppliers, PDM Steel, Lowes and misc. I will supply my unstamped engineering drawings for any system upon request to aid in your design of a custom system. I will soon release how to details of my latest project (about 8 videos) to aid in the construction techniques. If you want to email me at leadingedgesolar@juno.com with any detailed questions or engineering requests, I would be happy to help. Blessings my friend.

Hi. There are different colors of shinny gold vinyl on Amazon that may match brass color. Buy the ones that are "Free Returns" for Prime members and before opening the roll, check the color to see if it matches and if not send it back for free. This one may match (Light Gold Chrome Smart Adhesive Vinyl). Please watch my full video on this project to get more details on how to apply the vinyl. Blessings my friend.

@@thepennywiseguys ebay sucks. I one once made a purchase. I was careful. if I opened the shipping envelope I could return it. the only problem is if I returned it I would be reimbursed. the only problem it would considered used. I paid over $200. for it. if used I would only be reimbursed $65. the name of the scam seller is Hilo Japan. be careful. I don't understand. Japanese people are the best. I would believe this scammer is domestic.

Hi. The compressor was covered under the warranty and Senville sent it to me. The warranty does not include labor, so I installed it. Blessings my friend.

@@thepennywiseguys Thank you.

Hi. If you can hire a HVAC contractor to check your work and sign it off for warranty, then I would recommend the Senville line of mini splits. They are reliable and the warranty is great. I am a general contractor and install these and have my HVAC guy check my work so I can use his license number on the warranty cards. He charges me $150 to spend an hour to verify and check the pressures on start up. This works well and if you called around, I know their are HAVC contractors that would make that service call to help. Their is one company that is a total DIY and does not require a License to install and still cover warranty. The company is "Mr. Cool" I have not used these and can not verify if they are a good unit. The second choice of units I have installed is "Hunter Cooper" or HC. I hope this helps. Blessings my friend

Hi. I buy raw steel in the sizes that are determined by my engineer for each custom project. I then cut and weld the components to then be bolted together on the job site. I have multiple videos I am doing right now on my current project showing detail installation tips to aid you or your contractor on how to build these. These will be launched by September. I hope this helped. Blessings my friend.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. You are correct. Stay tuned. I have ideas to share in 2025

Hi. The DC wires technically do not need to be covered, but I like to run them through PVC for protection and a better look. The washing system is awesome in cleaning the panels. I have a number of solar washing videos for different applications. A lot more to come with some nice additions. Blessings my friend.

Hi. Thanks for your kind comment. I have found that not always to they come off without a little help. This tool is free and safe to use. The trip to the parts store to pick up the tool is done when I am there anyway, so why not pick it up, use it and return it for the refund on the next trip to the store. Free and no time lost and safe removal. Older cars that have not had the arm removed are prone to be stuck. Have a blessed day my friend.

Hi. Thanks for your input. Yes I would use my vise, but not everyone has a vise so I wanted to show another way using tools that most would have. Blessings my friend.

Hi. I use the "Loan a Tool" a lot. Blessings my friend

Hi. I am not sure if you are asking about this project or you are trying to figure out a layout for a project for you. What I do is figure out how many panels are needed to zero out there utility bill and then come up with a layout to fit the structure in the area that we have to work with. If you need a layout that is more square than try using more rows of panels to get a more square structure and less rows to get a longer rectangle shaped structure. First you need to determine which panels you want to use. Panels come in different sizes (60 cells or 72 cells) so try to pick one that gives you the size you need in physical dimensions as well as wattage. If one panel size does not give you the structure size you are after, then look at other panel sizes. I also will go more panels than needed in order to get the desired structure size. I go as big as a 130% system size (100% being big enough to zero the utility bill). I hope this helps. I will do a video on sizing systems that maybe of help. That is something I will work on in the coming months. Have a blessed day my friend.

Hi. The procedure is 1 turn off the pump 2) drain the tank by turning on a faucet or two. 3) remove the plug (but expect some pressure to be still there and a loud gushing sound. 4) turn pump back on 5) still like I showed and allow the incoming water into the tank to pick up the sediment and flush it out. 5) When water runs clear, turn off the pump. 6) replace the plug with thread sealant as needed 7) turn back on the pump and enjoy sand free water. Blessings my friend.

@@thepennywiseguys Thank you! For step 2) I don’t have to fully drain it though, correct?

@@teegees That is correct. Just reduce as much pressure as you can so it is not such a blast when taking off the plug. Make sure to hang on to the plug as you take it off.

Hi. I am happy to share with you. Let's start via email @ leadingedgesolar@juno.com Have a blessed day my friend.

Hi. Thank you for your comment. I chose these so I could tie them together with the racket straps. They are very strong. I have carried heavy loads over these steps that weight 150 lbs. plus two men that weight over 200 lbs. each with ease. These can be temporary (like shown) or permanent (to be shown at a later date with rails and finished sides). Blessings my friend.

@@thepennywiseguys A Fatcartperson waddles over them, they just may collapse. Other than that, it looks like you did a great job.

@@tickyul That is always a concern that maybe a 500 lb. person could break them. I sure have put them to the test and all is good. The webbing in the middle of the void takes most of the load and has 100% contact all the way to the ground. I do appreciate your questions and concern. Thanks for watching my videos and please keep giving me your input and ideas.

@@thepennywiseguys Will do, thanks for the vid! ☺

Hi Friend. Thank you for your suggestion on another method to remove an axle. Blessings.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I tried the normal methods. Sometimes a slide hammer is the only method that works on stuck axles. Have a blessed day

@@thepennywiseguys ive done a few hundred never had any get stuck i guess im lucky

Hi. Yes either CO2 or argon mix will work. I checked and as long as it is a new system there is no oil in the lines to absorb anything. I also evacuate the lines after pressure check to remove all gases and moisture. I have never had an issue. I know that Mini Splits have higher pressures but I use the AC sealant to take care of any micro scratches and this simple and cheap pressure check is looking for bigger leaks that the AC sealant can not fix. Blessings my friend.

Hi. I built this system about 6 years ago and did not film the step by step construction. I am finishing up my current and possibly last system and have filmed each step. I will launch about 8 videos soon on how to build these. Blessings my friend

Hi. Thanks for the question. It is roughly 13.5' x 23' x 9' high. This one was barely able to fit in her backyard, but it covered 100% of her energy usage. It was a perfect fit to make a beautiful entertainment area. Blessings my friend.

@@Moondoggy1941 I have a series of videos coming out soon showing the step by step process on how to build these. We are in an extreme heat wave now for the last 3 weeks and should last another 2 weeks. I had to take a break on finishing this system due to the heat. I hope to have the videos ready in 3 weeks. If you have any questions, let me give you my email and I would be happy to give further assistance. leadingedgesolar@juno.com

@@thepennywiseguys Looking forward to it, I am in Ca. as well, so hunkering down is a really good idea.

Hi. Great question. Yes the panels are almost sealed, so most of the water from rain or washing runs off the from the top. What does make it through to the gutter system does run off to the end (I build in a small slope to run the water to either end). I hope this answer helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. We are in the middle of an extreme heat wave over the last 4 weeks and hopefully will be done in a week, so I can finish up the current project and post the step by step videos soon. Blessings my friend.

@@thepennywiseguys I think we are both enjoying the same little heat wave, 106 here yesterday and a 500 dollar electric bill to boot.

@@Moondoggy1941 We had up to 116 days in June and early July. Now it is a cool 104-109. Friday we are going to have a chilly 98. 98 would normally be hot but after what we had it feels cool. I am hoping August is normal. Stay safe my friend.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. Yes my engineer likes to design them to last. I slope the structure just a little bit to either side so the water runs to either end. I make a "gutter" out of the 2x2 edge trim on one side of the Z purlins and the other side has its own built in "gutter" with the returns on the bottom 2.5" flange. This works great. Blessings my friend.

Hi. Thanks for your kind comment. Yes we have built many of these. We also installed automatic washing systems on them that have a soap & rinse cycle. Check out my playlist for solar washing systems. I show how to build these for the DIYer. Blessings my friend

Hi. Thanks for your comment. You are right that termites only feed on wood. That is exactly what I am working on in this project (wood). I drill the extra holes to investigate for any other nesting areas other than next to the kick out holes. It is worth the extra time to make sure. The treatment in the nesting areas do most of the kill, but areas around the nesting holes that have "searchers" seeking new areas can come across these extra treated areas within 6 months and will be eliminated. Patching the extra holes takes very little time. Have a blessed day my friend.

Hi. Great questions. The panels are not glued down to the purlins with sealant. Once they are installed, just run a small bead of sealant between the small crack between panels. To replace them, cut the sealant with a blade and unbolt from top to replace. The cost to put a roof on the structure and then mount the panels on the roof costs way to much compared to using the panels as the roof as shown. I hope this helps. Blessings my friend

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I had not used this foam before but have been in the AG pest control field and know how to kill bugs. I am also a general contractor which gives me a different perspective. You are correct in that spraying foam between the food source (wall studs) is not as effective than locating the nesting areas within the wood studs and spraying the foam within those nesting areas. This kills off the workers and queen. Their maybe multiple nesting areas so that is why I use the scope to find the frass. This tells you which studs have nesting areas and by drilling 1/4" holes about every 2 inches up and down those studs that show frass at the bottom will help you find all of the nesting areas. Treating those nesting areas will kill off all of them. I also sprayed foam into all of the holes I drilled in case there are travelers that would come across those treated holes. The holes are then easily filled with caulking or compound, sanded and painted. Don't waist the money treating areas that are between studs. The reason pest control companies do this is to get the job done quickly and cover a larger area fast (even though the results are not as effective) If there is a very large infestation, they will tent the whole house and fumigate which is effective but very costly. Blessings my friend.

@@thepennywiseguys Thanks for writing back. This is a townhouse and they cannot tent it without every home owner's permission. There are 6 of us. 5 of 6 own but the 6th rents and the owner will not give permission. The house could be on fire and if the fire department said it would be $300.00 to put your fire out, she would say let it burn. Additionally, tenting kills everything in it at that time, but what people don't tell the homeowner is that the termites can come back immediately after the tenting unless you treat and use preventative measures. My main concern with treating in between the studs was the insulation between them. The Termidor will not penetrate would nor is it designed to do that. Neither was Termicite, what you showed in the video. The Terminate product shown in the video is also a repellant so it will stress the colony and make them move rather than kill them. So treating with Termidor in between the walls that have insultation is useless and a waste of money. The insulation will provide resistance and you will have a 1/8" gap for which the foam will be absorbed by the paper on the insulation and on the drywall. The same thing goes for the spray in the non infested wood. It's useless because you must hope the termites walk it within the next 4-6 weeks which may not happen. I think the better method would be to spray bora-care in those holes as it penetrates the wood. Then caulk, sand, apply texture and paint. If they do start chomping later even after 6 weeks, they bring it back to the queen and she dies. I think a good plan for anyone reading this would be: Drywood Termites Look for kickout holes so those 2x4's are easy enough to know where the gallies located in those 2x4's. We have kickout holes and a lot of them (around 15 of them). For searching for other potentially infested studs: 1. Drill holes in between the studs and look for frass with the camera, just like your video. 2. Find gallies by drilling up those studs where frass is located. a. If no gallies are found, use bora-care as a foam or injection. b. If gallies are found, use Termidor foam. 3. Use Bora-care in the attic if possible. Mist on exposed wood and Foam on wood under blown insulation. 4. If you have skipped a stud in between the walls because you didn't see any frass but the next one over has frass, go back and treat the ones in between where you saw frass. Your thoughts on this plan?

@@SoloBoss Hi friend. That is a perfect plan. You have a great handle on the process. Blessings.

I had a termite guy out who sprayed some termidior into the gallies unless you find galleries it’s a waste of time he said. Spraying foam on the wood surface or into the wood itself won’t work unless you hit a galley. So finding a kick out hole is crucial to finding a galley. Anyway it wasn’t cheap having the terminator company come out do it. For $35 I could have bought a bottle of termidor myself and sprayed it into the galleys. But I guess you’re paying for their expertise in finding a colony. He said it was a hit and miss with no warranty. But the only way to guarantee killing them is to tent the building. As I live in a condo attached on both dudes means evacuating all three properties and paying for them to stay in a hotel. A very expensive operation. I hope this Termidor treatment works There are other options besides tenting, heating the area up to 130 degrees will also kill them I haven’t looked into that yet. Getting termites certainly can be very stressful wish I had a brick house with metal studs. Good luck

@@Dutfghh7796 Hi. Yes it is costly to tent the entire home. If you find a kick out hole, then it is easy enough to inspect the area with a bore scope like I showed in the video to find the activity. I drilled a lot of holes up and down the studs near the kick out holes in order to discover any soft spots that would indicate possible nesting areas. I treated all the holes including all discovered nesting areas and had perfect success. The patching the holes and repainting was easy and cheap so overall the project costs less than $30 and very little labor to solve. I inspected with my scope all adjacent areas to make sure the activity did not spread. Blessings my friend.

You are correct. I have seen the costly equipment that remove larger rocks, but could not find anything for small rock, so I designed and built my own, which worked great and was cheap to build. I hope this helps others that have the same situation that I have. Blessings my friend.
