We will take you through the rainwater catchment system that we have for our pool. I will also make repairs to our setup. This is a great way to way to save money and repurpose rainwater. When we use the water to top off our pool, we run the hose into the skimmer basket so that the rainwater goes through our filter. Also, using rainwater for your pool can alter the Alkalinity and pH. So, someti...
Power Cord Replacement On Saw Max
Переглядів 707 місяців тому
I accidently stepped on the plug for for my Dremel Saw Max SM20 and broke the Pins off. So instead of buying a completely new tool I replaced the power cord. I ordered the new cord from www.ereplacementparts.com/ . It cost about $20 and took about 10 minutes. Anyone can do this and it will save you money.

It was Denise's Birthday and I surprised her by making her tiered planters for our front porch. I used old wood fence panels. The beauty of making these that I am repurposing the fence pickets, which of course cuts down on cost and you can make these yourself to the dimensions you need. So please join me as I take you through the process. 00:00 Introduction 00:18 Disassemble fence pickets 02:10...

Rain Barrel System for Vegetable Garden
Wow, thank you so much. I just had the same issue.
You dont need the under deck to extend under the drying station - let it drip to ground
Wish you'd 've spent more time on the water line garden hose to sink connection parts - that's the tricky part
I was looking for ideas on an outdoor sink and ran into your video. Miss Denise's reaction was priceless as was your remark "Yes, go ahead and justify why I built it". There is ALWAYS a great sense of accomplishment when you built something yourself!! Thanks for sharing.
Wouldn’t incomplete combustion be hazardous even if it were caused by running a humidifier?
I enjoy your colour story so far. I'm excited to see your Japanese maple garden to fill out :)
That’s cool. I have to build me one of those very educational and helpful. Awesome video.
You should! I would love to see how yours comes out.
That turned out nice! Great job
😆 Promo_SM
Nice video on using old materials to make new things.
Thank You!!! Love using old materials. Thank you for watching!!!😊
5:32 I see no problem having used the deck screws. But you could’ve still used the pocket holes but just faced them to the outside since you were covering them with the pickets. Great build so far! Happy birthday Denise!!!🎉🎉
I agree, Looking back I could have put the pocket holes on the outside, Honestly I did not think about it at the time. I got in a bit of hurry to complete these. Thank you for watching!!! Denise says "Thank you". 😊
@@UpandAtIt they still turned out great regardless!!
Great video. Looks great
Hi Tenisha! Thank you for stopping by, we really appreciate it!
I found a free sink just like that without the faucet just for this purpose. Love your build! Thank you so much for sharing! Simple enough I think I can do it.
So glad you liked this and thank you for stopping by our channel. Would love to see your finished product.
Ideal perennial set-up. Plant once and enjoy forever along with the critters. Also a great start to pollinating an annual vegetable garden. shared to social media. I look forward to seeing your native perennial garden.
Thank you for replying and sharing my video. I am afraid my video skills are not very good, yet. However, I am so excited to see pollinators in this area since it is within 15 feet of our veggie garden.
Save your money, this is completely worthless, too flimsy and too short.
I have to say I agree. I would not recommend the Drain Weasel as there are better options. Thank You for your comment.
Nice video Old Dog. Some videos show a Navien Easy valve kit which adds separate valves for the service port/hose outlets. My unit only has 1 isolation valve each for hot and cold water - is that what you have? I'm assuming if there's only one isolation valve each for hot and cold that you just: shut off your Main water valve; open your cold isolation valve, attach hose to sump pump & then to cold water service port; attach hose to hot service port; open hot isolation valve, which prevents water from flowing back into main hot water line going into the house?; then plug in pump and flush for 40 minutes or so? Thanks for your help. Not really sure why they make Easy valve kit when the 'stock' hot/cold isolation valves allow you to flush system?
What a fantastic outdoor sink build. And so much fun to hear her reaction. Nice job!
Thank You So much!!!
Can you put a link to the fitting you used at the bottom of those barrels it looks like cool way of doing it thanks
Just know found your video thanks
Thank you for stopping by! :)
I have the barrels just need spigot and washers and all the other supplies thanks
That is fantastic. Let me know if you complete your project. I would love to see it.
Where are you getting all your supplies I went to Home Depot and they are not to be found thanks
Oh my gosh thank you for posting this video..... I did this very same thing last January ... Results were amazing ... Can't wait to do it all over again and more... Best of luck...
You may have mentioned in your video. Working on our first project and was going to follow similar setup. How are you cleaning any sludge or build up in bottom of barrels?
Thank you so much, I was looking for something very simple but most guys pull out tons of tools and start showing off.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. This is what I am looking to get across to people that you do not need $100,000 worth of tools to create good things.
Thank you ! It was our humidifier!!! We have salt and a few other things in the distilled water! Thank you
wow, had my humifer on went to cook later had orange flame. Waiting for it to correct itself so I can cook. hope this is the problem.
Was about as bad a video as possible.
Enjoyed this. I am going to build an outdoor kitchen with sink and gas cooktop. I like this frame design, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank You. would love to see y9our build when its done.
Having this issue so thanks for the info. Just a thought though, is it safe to keep the humidifier on and use the burners to cook when the flames are orange?
Thanks. Something like that never would have dawned on me. Ours started burning orangish so I cleaned the orifices which did not help. We had just started our humidifier the day before as well so that is next on the agenda.
Our gas fireplace started burning orange after I turned on a cool mist humidifier to help keep our Christmas tree fresh. Since the orange color is caused by minerals dispersed into the air by the cool mist humidifier, I plan to fix it by using distilled water instead of tap water.
OMG You are the best. Thanks for posting. I was going crazy when all my burners started burning orange.
What an unbelievable video, my stove was with yellow flames, I thought maybe a spider had gotten into the air ducts? when I was watching the video I noticed the ultrasonic vaporizer spewing moisture into the air, WOW!!!I had my answer, superb!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Well, slap my face and call me Nancy, I would not connect the two, but …
So glad I found your video - I was just about to call a tech after watching other videos all day about fuel/gas ratio and not being able to locate my air shutter adjustments. Didn’t even cross my mind that we just started using a new humidifier last night and that it could be the cause of this. Thanks for saving me a couple hundred bucks! 🤝
Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I live a mile off the lake so my humidity levels get pretty high naturally. I usually run the de-humidifier in the winter to control the condensation on the windows. But my sinuses started acting up at night so I thought I would give the de-humidifier a break. That is about when both my stove and heater started burning orange, not as orange as yours though. Then the next day they were both back to burning blue. I will watch the humidity levels now.
Thanks for the video. We have humidifier and today got up and ran the stovetop and got 1/2 blue and 1/2 orange (all burners). I went on-line and did see one guy mention "humidifier" but he didn't get too specific, especially with regards to "why". I was leaning towards the regulator when I saw your video. It has been about an hour since I cooked my omelet this morning. By now the AC had been running in the kitchen area for several minutes. I turned on one burner and it's just fine, same with the rest. If it quacks like a duck...
Put a book in the bottom door jam and push it and it'll bend the door just enough to close the gap
Well done men. I gonna follow this video build one for my self. For cleaning porgys.
Thank You, Would love to see yours when its done.
can u explain the mechanism of filling from bottom up
Great video. If I tie into my downspout using a diverter, does that act like the first flush and the over flow allowing the leaves and shingle gravel to still flow down the downspout. Thanks
Thanks far sharing this info, I had the same issue. Now I'd like to hear your way to handle the humidifer. If I turn the humidifer off, the house air become really dry. What did you do?
Nothing you can do. It’s either moisture in the air or orange flames. I would try simmering water on the stove. You won’t get orange flames as fast.
Or, used distilled water.
Hey, this is from Family Handyman we are really interested in your video and want to partner with you. Please contact us back so we can discuss more. Thank you.
Great Efforts!
Thank you very much!
Great job
Thank you, will check on that just put in a humidifier and now have yellow flame
I definitely like the 4 inch overflow. I have my overflow on my last barrel in a chain of 4 barrels and when they are full, hard rain backs up into my gutter and pours everywhere. I plan to add another 2” overflow to my intake barrel since I have leftover material from my 2” manifold system. Hopefully that will help. Plan to put some kind of manual diverter on the feed also. Im not running a first flush so pollen season is nasty water.
If your bulkhead fitting where up another two inches, tightening them down enough to flatten the barrel a little would make for a better gasket seal.
What a great idea Denise! Thank you for sharing.
You are quite welcome!
