      Hi, thanks for watching! No, actually, the driveway was put in over 20 years ago. We've tried to maintain the surface by keeping the cracks filled and developed this process which works for this DIYer. We did have it sprayed with hot asphalt to seal it after the cracks were filled. The contractor who did that recommended that application every three years, but commended us on our ingenuity in keeping the cracks filled the way we do!

    Not being a karen, but im certa ( propane) certified for 31 years, and if you get a leak in that propane tank fitting you gonna burn down the whole thing, tractor included. Always have a fire extinguisher handy, within 50 ft and keep your tank 20 ft from your fire!! Never wear cuffed gloves, get the ones that wrap tightly around your wrist.Ive seen what asphalt burns do to a man, and it dies not stop until it hits bone. Id hate to see someone else get burned badly. Just looking at the saftey side.. great idea though. I use a waterproofing kettle, and rubberized asphalt on about 10 thousand square ft of a commercial roofing yard to maintenance the driving surface. I have to rebuild tar kettle pumps and they are dissasembled hot , around 475°f . HOT Asphalt is no toy... Great diy methid , just tank is way to close in that walled trailer , mount it on the outside away from the flame, please..

    Really appreciate the video. I got a repair kit and it was a huge adventure of a not so great kind, the set screw would not budge, drill time, and then one of the seats stripped at the hex. I had to drill numerous times until the seat finally broke through, fortunately the threads were spared. Unfortunately, after cleaning things up and reassembling, it still leaks. So, at some point in the future...But thank you again. Edit: The fixture no longer leaks as more Teflon tape was added to the seats. Now I just need to apply the caulk to the face plate and hope all will be well.

      Thanks for watching. Yes, even with the new repair kit, ours still leaks when it's turned on, but not quite as much. I don't know what I expect for a 60-year old faucet, but I learned a lot when I took it apart and played with it. Sometimes you need some of the teflon paste in addition to the teflon tape - it gets into more nooks and crannies and helps keep those leaks minimized. Good luck with your DIY repairs!

    That’s a lot of work. Buy a hot tar machine. Heats up faster and you won’t need anything else to help you spread it. I do commercial work. Clark’s gas stations to be exact and that’s what I use. You make it work with what you got and that’s awesome! You should still buy a hot tar machine and you’d be good at using it. After you tar the cracks throw play sand on the crack and it will make it smooth and look way better when it drys and if someone wants to drive on it they could immediately

      Thanks for watching. Good tips! I was trying to do it "on the cheap" with tools and equipment I had already. I like the idea of the play sand though; as I do this at least once a year, it's a good tip. Good luck with your DIY repairs!

    Great video. It helped a bunch. The first time I took this apart I winged it. I ended up breaking half of the plastic tabs on this cheap microwave.

      Thanks for watching. Yes, that's the trouble with us DIYers - sometimes in taking things apart, things get broken, but hopefully you were able to get the replacements you needed. Good luck with your DIY repairs!

    Thank you so much. I could diagnose and fix my microwave after watching just a bit of your video.

    Removed all 3 and they were all black.

      Thanks for watching! You mean the switches were black from being burned out, or the plastic was black? The switch body could be any color plastic depending on the manufacturer. Good luck with your DIY repairs!

    Hello , thanks for your video. I have a Ewave Kot-170SW and sometimes when I close the door slowly blows the fuse . I took the door switches out like you showed us and one of the 4 of switches is not clicking. It seems to be a 0.3A 24v DC 27T105 5E4 I can not find it in amazon. Any idea?.

      Hi, thanks for watching. Sorry for the late reply, but you might have some luck searching outside of Amazon or checking with a local appliance repair shop; sometimes they will sell the parts without the service. Good luck with your DIY Repairs!

    Take this from a guy who just splashed hot tar on his hand from doing this, leave it to the professionals. The pain from a hot tar burn is excruciating, and the healing process is long and just as painful.

      Ouch! We have always worn leather gloves when doing this, and so far have managed to avoid burns - although the gloves aren't good for much else afterward! I hope your burn heals quickly! Thanks for watching!

      I understand this is an old comment. I don’t think we should take your Advice maybe look at it as what not to do. The professionals were not born professional, They learned just like well, hopefully you did. Hot Hot Hot. Do not apply To yourself be careful.
