Wisconsin House Cleanup and Tour!!
In this video, I start to clean up the outside of the Wisconsin house that we’re moving back into. There is an absolute ton of work that needs to be accomplished and I hope you’ll come along for the ride! I also give a quick tour of the interior to serve as a major “Before” viewpoint. Renovations will include the bathroom and kitchen and flooring and paint. I’ll do my best to capture it but most likely will be random updates with progress. Stay tuned!!

I wont use the 1/4 turn valves anymore as once the nylone seats whare out you must repleace the whole valve with the multiple stem all you have to do is replece the stem then you are good for another 14 years
Really like the backsplash, did you video that project? Tx
Yep I did! You can find it on my channel!
That top bolt needs to be tightened to 150lb of torque geeze😂
Is quarter minus also called crushed granite or breeze?
pretty "handy" with your project. Hey Jose check out the gringo filming his work...- the crew
This gringo bought beer and pizza for the crew.
Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to uninstall the light? I can’t stand it anymore. It’s just blinks red no matter the temp, and it drives me insane.
How’s the drainage?
tad moore putter !
that pinion to spur mesh sounded way to tight when you reved it up, you need a bit of play between those 2 gears
I think a quarter turn is 45 degrees... 🙂
I feel the same way. Its the small things
The apartment where I live has the quikset lever chrome handles and I’d like to remove them for keyed entry to my bedroom for extra security. I took out the screws but the handle doesn’t want to come off. Do I have to pry it off after the screws are removed or should the square rose just pop off? I don’t want to damage it since I will need to put it back when I decide to leave the apartment.
Very informative and honest about what it takes to do it right. Thanks.
impressive he is not embarrassed to upload this failure. Without a tape measure, writing down dimensions, doing the calculations, and checking; that is how you find out you dont have enough material.....
Remember it’s reverse thread!
Wow what a transformation
So you’ve gotta keep the windows covered now?
What type of rock did you put down?
How is your putting green holding up two years later? Just curious.
What’s the square footage roughly?
I have been installing turf in Mesa Az for 15 years and this way is the most correct and professional to install good job guys
What is your company name? I'm looking for something like this in the phoenix area.
How’s it holding up? Usually if you don’t water the rock in between running the compactor it will settle with time. The dry rock won’t pack as tight as when it’s been wetted. Curious if you’ve noticed your base loosening/settling.
great video
That’s really nice, I’m thinking of putting one in my yard also
If you dont mind me asking how much they charge?
Super helpful, thanks for posting
great stuff! where is your material list?
Love it
Great except I used a torque wrench for all the bolts. Ram dealership wanted $550 for this install 😂
You a good Dude Carnal 💪
Super informative thank you!
Looks great, but all you did was get in the way! 😂 Enjoy
The Pizza and Coronas sure didn’t look like they were in the way. 😉
Ware is junk yard located
Motorcycle junkyard is located in South Phoenix.
Nice first shot to break it inn
Literally! No movie magic. Pure awesomeness and excitement.
5000 $ job ?
Luckily I got a little better deal than that at $2500. I was pleased. Money well spent.
Nice job big imrovement
Just finished my install. Thank you so much for the guide.
Wow, you made it look easy. I've been working on mine for 2 solid days. When I turned off the water to the house, the shut-off valve continued to drip water for hours. Also getting the lower and upper nut off the supply hose took a full day and at least six different tools due to the difficult access.
They get easier the more you do! I definitely didn’t do a video on my first one. Hope you got it in the end!
@@thehandymanlife Water is still dripping from the old shut-off valve after 2 days of turning the house water off. So far I have collected about 5 gallons of water. I'm wondering if it's ever going to stop. And there's only room for a smallish container under it, which I have to empty into a bigger jug every couple of hours otherwise it overflows. I'm not sure what will happen if I remove the valve before it stops dripping.
It is NOT recommended to leave the old nut and ferrule in place because manufacturers have different threads and you will be in for a surprise! NO TEFLON EITHER!
That is why this is not a general “How-To” video and is simply my method for how I do it and have found that it works very well and holds up. In cases that I’ve come across where the threads didn’t match, I was forced to remove the ferrule and swap it all. All of that is just not necessary in every case in my opinion. 💯🛠️
I also enjoyed your pivot mirrors in the bathroom, so it gave me ideas for my vanity which has the original large wall-to-wall mirror. Thank you for sharing.
Of course! I got a bargain on the pivot mirrors from a remodel company I was working for. I had to do it!
Great video! How big would you say this putting green is?
I thinks it’s 10’ by 16’ ish.
Keep your camera still.. Making me feel sea sick!!!
Lol! No worries bro they have supplements for that!
Handyman life.... yet stood there and did nothing.
I mean… you can assume that if you’d like… technically I was the videographer of the whole thing. I mentioned this project was the only one I hired out. I also helped to dig out the weeds to my liking because the company was just going to spray them. Thanks for your comment!
Hi! What dimension have belt... for searching on market. Tks and good job! ❤
To much work unless the valve is broke. Can you swap out quarter valve from the gate with a copper line keeping the copper line going to say the sink valves . Or do you have to change out the copper lines to the flex lines? I got a leaky drippy tub faucet in the condo laundry room. That I may use onec a week. I would have to move the washing machine to redo the whole thing. So I was thinking just go with quarter turns and shut and the water off that way. The gat e valves wont g the w a ter off 30 years old Instead of a 4 hour job.
It looks like an easy DIY. You have to use 2 different types of turf? Can you list the materials ?
It was just two different weights of turf. I’m not super familiar with the materials in particular the turf. The sand used was just regular sand from the home improvement store.
What size are the tires?
Not exactly sure….
Send your crew over to my house next. Oh, and pre-pay them for me 😊
Will do what I can!
Is the light still working? I've been looking at these on Amazon but I figure the light will probably quit working kind of quick. Was looking at a Moen but they're like three hundred bucks
Ya the light absolutely sucks
looks amazing! how do they blend the fringe so well?
Talented for sure! I got as much on video as I could!
