Honestly where did ya get that shirt the next paint job ima wear this to see what my boss says
Go to my store tab on my UA-cam channel. You can purchase there. 👍🏼
The markers are optional and useful for smallish and lighter pictures.
👍🏼
Looks nice, but no eye for padlock? It's a must
Agreed
He didn’t mention fill up the tub 🛁 to compensate for the pull of the water ! Then definitely drain it after caulking ! It split on my from the moisture:/
Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
Cheap crap
Im waiting for black friday deals

@ReluctantDIYers how thick of wall can it work its magic?
@itchyJaw-qn6ql Rated for drywall only.
Absolute genius. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome! Happy it helped! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks man. Just knocked this out myself thanks to this video and the other one fixing the screw holes. Much appreciated 🫡
AWESOME!!! Thx for watching. I’m really happy these videos helped.
Explained very easily for people who has a learning disability thanks bro!
I appreciate the kind words. Glad you found it helpful! ❤
Check out the full video!
Is there a link for the multi-position ladder?
Yes. Look in the tagged products on the video for “Little Giant” 👍🏼
keep doing it yourself.......love it
love the tripping....we all have tripped from dumb situations
Is that mean if I use a blade with more teeth(let say 60), it's better running the saw at a lower rpm?
Great question. I personally would not slow down the speed of the saw blade, if your saw has that feature. But the speed at which you push the saw through the material will be slower.
@ReluctantDIYers cos my saw got a function to set it runing at a higher torque mode(which lower the rpm)🤔
@luckychui Ahhh ok.
Using the tip of the Phillips bit, won't it damage it as it meant for driving a screw only? Can I use a drill bit instead for the same purpose? Either way, how do I know the size of either the drill bit or Phillips tip if I don't know the size of the self-drilling anchor? The package reads #8 x 1-1/4 in. Nylon Drywall Anchors with Screws, Self Drilling
Drywall is not a hard material that can hurt the Phillips bit. No concerns there. You can use a drill bit also. I would match the bit size to the tip of the drywall anchor (visually next to one another). From what I’ve seen, those tip widths vary by manufacturer.
put wall mounting table without using screw or glue that damage the paint
Informative. Helped me select the right ladder.
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, but even after you had replaced the flush valve, those silicon rings should have lasted for years and years. This is a problem that usually only happens after long periods and use. If you have replaced multiple flush valves and still have the problem with that ring you either have a water problem or toilet design failure. Are you on a well? Do you have visible particulates in your water? Although you have found an easy way to replace the silicon sealing ring, it just shouldn't be happening. It looks like a Toto, is it? To test your flush valve; let it fill up as usual and then turn off the water supply valve. Let the toilet sit for some time and then check your tank level.
I appreciate you taking the time to share all of this. I have run through these tests myself. After replacing the ring, I’ve let the water sit for days without issue. It feels as if there’s a design issue with the flush valve itself that may be causing the ring to fail? not sure. The toilet is an American standard.
Hi I have a question about anchor from test 2 at 1:43 Can I use them for 55 inch TV that weights 13kg? I would be using at lest 4 anchors.
@@DusanPuzigaca I have a rule with TV’s and their wall mounts. Do not ever rely on a drywall anchor as your primary support method. Please anchor the TV in studs. Most mounts are wide enough to do this. And with a full motion mount, you can position the TV however you would like. 👍🏼
@@ReluctantDIYers Thank you for quick response. My problem is that I live in older building (in Europe) and walls are different. It is 9cm thick gypsum wall made of gypsum blocks. So its not hollow in the middle. The wall holds kitchen cabinets on the other side but they were installed long before i moved in. I have no idea how its done.
@ Ohhhhhhhh…. Got it. I unfortunately have zero experience on that type of setup. Does anyone else have any helpful info to share?
what if it's not powered?
Not sure what you mean.
I have a metal door.
It would've been great if you added the part on how to repair the small hole after taking the thing out!!
I tend to break these types of steps into separate videos focused on that issue. Here’s one that will help with repairing/filling those holes: Repair Drywall Holes - Basic Drywall Repair for Beginners ua-cam.com/video/qUIOur-JsM4/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!!

What type of mulch do you have there? Looks gorgeous ! Thanks for the tips!
You’re welcome! That’s triple shredded black mulch.

Nice shoes.
@@Surayahti Thanks! 😉
If it rips the drywall then this isn't apartment friendly
In all fairness, I was being rough.
Thank you so much!!! I have a shorter screen but sliding it up in the spring side of the track made it easier to get into place on the non spring side. Also loved how you showed your hand placement on the frame. Mine doesn’t have the tabs so I couldn’t get it in. Thanks again!!
Excellent! I’m super happy you found this helpful.
😮👍🙏

Awww man! I just trashed a toilet because it has that kind of flusher that you have to take the entire tank off to replace it... I didn't think about replacing this guy.
I totally get it… when I figured this out, I shook my head. 😭
Yeah, I had to replace just that gasket about a year ago. The telltale sign for me was that the old one had developed what I call a "blister". Fortunately I noticed it, or I wouldn't have known that it was just that one inexpensive part that needed replacement.
@ I really wish I knew this earlier. Thankfully you figured it out and saved some $$
Lol
@@WeOutcheaMane 🤣🤣🤣
When making pilot holes for drywall anchors, do you recommend not drilling too deep?
The depth shouldn’t matter. You could drill a smaller hole all the way through the drywall as a pilot hole if you wanted to. 👍🏼
I hung up some curtain anchors and had tried using drywall anchors. I found the drywall anchors were spinning at the end even though I hand tightened them. I hammered them in most of the way though. Do you think that was a mistake?
@ I don’t recommend hammering them in because they do not grip/hold properly. Sounds like something was behind the drywall that prevented them from going all the way in.
thank you! this worked for my dorm toilet…either i drive to home depot for an auger or i wait two weeks for facilities ! my fricken long distance bf clogged with a fat log and then left (he didn’t know it was clogged) LOL you’re a lifesaver
I’m so happy I was able to help you with the extraction of a “fat log” 🤣🤣🤣
Those ends don't look good 🤔
Thanks! 😉
Very helpful!! Thank you
@@woody321-x5x I’m so happy this helped!!
i know it doesn't look as nice, but wouldnt having the concrete up to the ground level (and even a little higher) be better? that way water wouldn't pool at the top of the post? thanks! great video.

Hi thanks for the video. What if my room's wall has only metal studs?
You can mount in metal studs also. 👍🏼
Is extension ladder comfortable to stand on when folded to act like step ladder?
@@titan-0016 As long as it is locked in place, yes. But please follow standard ladder safety even when not extended. These ladders are nothing to play with.
@ReluctantDIYers thanks for quick response. I am in a split mind about Werner 6ft step ladder vs multipro ladder with 14ft reach. New home owner and mostly needing for paint jobs for 9ft ceiling , occasional outdoor maintenance (not roof) but small twig trimming etc. multipro seem like a good option but not sure will b as comfortable to stand on, will b heavy for regular use but I like the extended ladder feature for any one of outdoor maintenance needs (that I don't know of yet)
@titan-0016 My favorite for these types of situations is the Little Giant. It can act like both types of ladders all in one. 👍🏼
Awesome info! Top Stuff thanks
