Thanks! We hopefully got him hooked on sawdust and power tools after this.

Hi @lifeonthehomestead, Court The Tool Mom here! Can't thank you enough for following along! Subscribed back from my personal. We appreciate you!

Learning and growing over here 😊 It’s held up through 70mph winds and all 4 seasons up here in Wisconsin. Any tips and tricks or videos you recommend?

@@Hardwarehangouthaters gonna hate. Giving opinions on your video but haven’t done any home improvements themselves. 😉

New to this as well.. How'd u fly 2 flags..? Do I need dif/more hardware for the bottom flag..? Is 20ft'pole tall enough for the 2 flags.?

That's exactly like how we are! Luckily I'm not a big fan so sanding or staining so it works out pretty well for us. Love the families that build things together.

Haha, those eyes are what keep things fun and interesting around here, that’s for sure! 👀😊 Thanks for noticing and watching!

It was a struggle but we got it done!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Cheers!

I had the same idea right after making this video! Picked up a couple of box fans and filters and it has been an absolute game changer for our basement.

Starting out, we were also getting them at Home Depot. But after stopping at Menards and seeing how much smoother and nicer looking they were, we made the switch. I typically will pick through the entire bunk to find halfway decent ones, 80-100 at a time. I don't usually separate them by color, though. I like the mismatched look from the different wood tones. If they are too cupped or warped, I will save them for other projects or toss them in the scrap pile. Otherwise, I will just run them through multiple times until the blades have touched the whole board.

Welcome fellow basement woodworker! It was the only space we had left that wasn't taken over by our kids. A struggle to bring in the wood but worth it during the hot summer months here in Wisconsin.

@@Hardwarehangout I can totally understand about bringing in the material, up and down the stairs. I'm close to Cincinnati, and in the summer it becomes a struggle. Lol 😂

I have tried that a few times. I ran into a problem with my boards not all being the same thickness though. May have to tinker with it a bit and see if I can make it work a different way!

Yea you wasted a lot of time resetting the planner. A lot of extra work and less consistent the way your doing it but I like ur gig u got going on keep it up

Same here! I don't know if it's the video but his pickets looked really nice overall. I'd have to spend hours picking through every picket they have in stock to get aa pile that nice.

@@johndoe6032 it doesn't matter if they're the cheaper ones or the pressure treated variety, they look nothing like his, I'm in south TX, I've looked all over, mom and pop places, local big stores, Lowe's and so on, no one carries pickets this pretty, lucky dude

The ones we get from Home Depot are also like that, stringy and hairy. We started buying them from Menards and have noticed much better quality and less planing and sanding.

@@eddyimplementreduxTennessee. Same here.

Thanks for the advice! This was my first flag install and I was trying to follow another video while recording.

For the love of our Green and Gold!

I'll have to remember that for my next install. Was following someones advice at the time and didn't think anything of it. Thanks for the advice!

I use the chlorine and dawn liquid soap

I just used plain old bleach and some elbow grease to get most of the stain and junk out. Once I filled it up and added in my chlorine the stain disappeared after a few days and looked like new!

The tube is a waste of money, just put concrete into the dirt, it works great. just like installing fenceposts.

Lots of wasted money yoy did there for a flag pole

Sonotube is used when you need to form above grade. Like posts for a wood deck; you don’t want them contacting the ground and rotting prematurely, so sonotube gives a nice and easy form that you will see for decades. In this case, the sonotube was just extra work and money since he covered it all up. You’re not supposed to leave the tubes in the ground either…

And the gravel was a waist

Agree with this. But…just be darn certain the top of the sleeve is exactly 90 degrees to the sleeve itself.
