Great video! Also, if you're removing a whole roomful of trim and planning to reuse it in the same space, LABEL your trim as you remove it! So you don't have to puzzle-piece it back in :)
so smart!
Your cameraman should shoot close-ups of what you are doing.
Maybe it was her toddler.
exactly
Eyetoobur it wasnt it was a grown man lmao
yeah. notice the cameraman actually zoomed out at the beginning of video.
Looks like it was on a tripod lol
Thank you, this was helpful! And I love seeing more and more knowledgeable women doing their own housework. ❤
Thanks, Sandra. I´ll get me a 5 in 1 tool today. Nobody, nobody could recommend me what to use at Lowe´s except a crow bar. I couldn´t find anything that was really thin. Thank you for the tips.
Try to cut flat and downward into the caulk without cutting the drywall paper-- it appears you were cutting against and into the wall with your paint tool. it helps to score the caulk vertically in the gap between the back of the trim and the face of the wall to avoid minimal cutting into the sheetrock wall material.
You don't know how much this has helped me with my wooden flooring installation project. Thank you.
Did this today with the help from your video. Thanks!
Wish I saw your instruction before my husband mess up
🤣🤣🤣 husbands 😂
Lol 😂
Wonder who taught and taped her...
I wish you would’ve done it yourself so you would be the one to screw it up first hahahahaha.
Literally laughed when I read this comment
Thank you! This video was really helpful for me in removing some old, stubborn baseboards!
*Install was easy **fireplace.homes** good although I personally had some difficulty with the thermostat I had. Issue was mine though, not realizing that electric heaters couldn't use oil thermostats. Tip: If you are using an external thermostat, run the power to the thermostat, not the unit. Once that was squared away it worked great.*
This is a great video! I really enjoyed when the camera man stated, "Those are my earplugs." That was so funny!
Thank you! Using the wood piece made it so simple! And fast!
Great vid; thanks! We're dealing with cat pee ... so far have removed carpet/padding; treated with anti-icky-poo; sealed underflooring with BIN; thought we had it nailed. But every couple of days we get stink. Think it's related to temperature/humidity. So next step is to explore with black-light (UV), after removing baseboards. Eventually we may have to give in, burn the place down, and collect insurance.
1 cup water with 2 tablespoons bleach combined with 1 teaspoon liquid hand-dishwashing detergent - one that has a perfume or smell of its own, like Ivory or Dawn - increase the quantities proportionately to fit into a spray bottle of 3 - 5 cups volume. Then, to prevent further spraying, use a LIGHT application of clove or cinnamon oil, but be careful because the oils can stain the area a darkish brown. I put tin foil down & then place oil-soaked paper towels or tissues on top of the tin foil - & I leave it there (refreshing it as needed) for months until the cat gets it thru his head that the area has MY stink, not his!
I've also found the "Simple Green" cleaner simplegreen.com/products/all-purpose-cleaner/ is good for removing the smells. I dilute it down approx. 1/4 cup to 2 - 3 cups water & lightly spray the areas daily where the cat is marking. Dilute it pretty well, otherwise that green tone might come thru with repeated applications.
Good luck. I've gotten to that point in many projects but haven't gotten to the point of match throwing yet. LOL
Or a gallon of 87 octane. That stuff removes a lot. Just don't tell anyone you heard it from me. Yay UA-cam!
That's what I am here for. My cat urinated by the kitchen curtain and it ran under the baseboard.
1:43 Am I yelling? that was funny
No, it's about my ear wax hon, LOL.
Yeeeessssss! I can’t wait! I was so afraid!!!
Great tip! I'm an apprentice trim carpenter and every time I have to pull something off a wall I end up making a dent or in some cases a giant hole when a piece is stuck to a stud so stubbornly. This will definitely save me some trouble with the boss lol.
Use a trim puller not a crowbar..
@@utahowned6227 trim puller. So a Lamborghini?
@@GlaciusDreams if thats how you see it to be.
I use a wide plastic or metal putty knife inserting it just a bit in between the base board then using the nail crowbar working it down where putty knife is inserted slowly prying on the board as preasure is going against the putty knife keeping the wall from being damaged works great everytime👍👍
Doesn't your thin putty knife get bent?
way to emphasize the "L" in caulk so we don't have any mishaps
Wait...doesn't everyone say it like that?
John Rooney 😂😂😂😂 she did it perfectly
Lmao!
Was about to comment on that.
As somebody who works at a paint store...lack of emphasis on the “L” is incredibly awkward. “I need a box of *caulk* right now!”
Was skeptical you were going to show me anything beyond what I would've figured out on my own with just common sense... but that scrap spacer is a great idea and will probably help get my thin moulding off without breaking it. Thanks.
great demo . Now i will tell my wife to do it . lol
Thanks Sandra you helped me out a LOT! This is the only video I found that used a painter's tool. I needed that tool to pry the baseboard from the wall then used the crowbar as demonstrated! Thanks again!
Galactic Beauty Glad I could help!
+1 for "Those are my earplugs!" :-)
thanks Sandra that was textbook, I'm getting ready to do mine shortly, and just wanted to make sure my procedure was on point , the piece of wood info was helpful I would have never thought of that!!!! Once again big thanks!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this! I followed your procedure and was able to remove all the baseboard from dining room and kitchen.
We are having to replace the floor due to a plumbing repair -- the plumber jackhammered through our beautiful tile and through our slab! LOL! We are going to lay down a floating luxury vinyl plank floor in case there are ever any other plumbing repairs.. that way it won't at least damage the flooring.
Brilliant video, thank you!!! do you have a video to remove architraves ?
This is so helpful!! Thank you! I was surprised that it works just like you say it does!
good explanation and video. Thanks as I have to do this before the Ikea guys come to build my Pax wardrobe and attach it to the wall. I was hoping to remove only a part the width of the wardrobe, but it seems I need to start at one end and remove the whole thing. I don't have a special saw so I guess I need to do it your way. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing this video! We were able to successfully remove baseboards in our new home because of your video!
Thank you! This was helpful and to the point. (And the earplugs part was funny.)
Thank you so much for this tip:) I'm gonna do our flooring too...and I dont know how to remove the baseboard without damaging them:) Thumbs up!!!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Loved the video and directions! And that you were doing the demo and not the guy...lots of women can relate better to other women. It just happened to be the first link on my search.
Awesome! Thank You! Feeling much more confident about this now...
Great video. Easy to understand and to the point!
Great video, thank you. Upcoming minor rents in my home and I'll be able to do more of the work myself. :)
Thanks for the tips! I've used your tips on two projects now, and I will soon use it on the 3rd. :)
So helpful!! Thanks for the excellent walkthrough!
Thanks for a great video. Your wall color is beautiful. What color paint is at?
Good tip! I'm redoing my half bathroom and want to remove the baseboard so I can retile and repaint.
Thank you so much for the video. I am starting this weekend!
Thanks for the video! Love the wall color! What color is it? I am ready to tackle my moldings now!!
Super helpful!!! Thank you so much. I have liked & subscribed ✨💖🙏
Thank You Sandra, very helpful for sure!
Great instructions, and very useful information thank you 👍
perfect instructions....thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for. :) Thanks for the great tips.
Thanks, Sawdust Girl! Managed to get it done on my own, after watching your video :)
Awesome!
👍🏻 the hearing part was funny!!!
That looks pretty easy, thanks!
Thank you. This helps so much. Great job on the tutorial.
Sandra I have to thank your very clear instructions which I followed, my work is done. Without your instructions I could have done a very poor job and would have had no dinner for at least two days, the _boss_ is happy. Thank you very much for sharing. Good job with the camera.
Great tips, thanks so much!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for the video! It's exactly what I was looking for!
your camera man needs to zoom in up close to show the detail when you are doing things like cutting the caulk.
A true diy'er doesn't have a cameraman. Otherwise it would be a group project.
Thanks! That was very helpful.
Awesome tutorial, I just bought my home and the crown molding has been painted several times over and it looks ugly. I bought paint stripper but it's making a mess on the molding. I'm thinking of removing the molding and buying new one, not sure what to do ?
Very helpful tips. Thanks!
Very helpful. Great video. Thanks
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Close-ups please. I need to see what the tools look like as well
Very helpful, thank you.
Brilliant lesson on pressure and dispersing it from the fulcrum with the wooden block. Must be some math in there somewhere.
Thanks... That was a great tip. Wait, did I say that too loud? :) Cute!
+John Richter lol
How do you get the baseboard back on? Won’t nails show through? Also do you have to caulk once baseboards are back on?
I'm wondering, did you re-use the baseboard? In other words, did you re-install the removed baseboard? I presume re-installing it was the reason for carefully removing it and avoiding splitting it during removal. But, can you confirm this?
perfect thank you!
Thank you!!
I had an issue before where the baseboards had long staples in it. They were very hard to get off and a lot of them ended up breaking. Any suggestions?
Ear plugs for hammering!?! Your ear drums must be perfect haha
Thank you very much! Very helpful for me before I went to HD to buy my tools and hack away at it. Now give h back his ear buds! Lol
Thanks
Thank you
A list of tools here would help. Thanks.
Thanks!
maybe next time some closeups of the job being done . thanks
Will do.
Awesome! Thanks
"Am I yelling?" LOL
When you started to cut into the caulk, it would have been nice to see a close up shot
Thanks for the feedback. I'll do an updated video (on my new channel).
Well done!
you go girl loved it
Thank you.
My baseboards get stuck on the carpet, the carpet goes up about a half to 3/4 inch above the bottom of the boards, any suggestions on how to avoid problems with the boards getting hung up on the carpet?
Very good video. Dang, now I don't have an excuse.
what color is that paint ?
Word of advice... have the camera up close so those who learn visually can also take advantage! 🙂
great info!
What is the easiest way to put back the baseboard you've removed after you're ready?
I use a bead of caulk on the back of moulding which helps to "glue" it in place. I use an 18 ga nailer to nail into the studs but if you miss studs, the caulk helps hold the moulding to the wall.
Now how to put it back…… lol great video
Do you have to cut the caulk?
Good video.
At 1:51 when a male voice chimes in to say "those are my earplugs..." is that hubby?!! Meanwhile his wife is doing all the handyman work, and he's worried about his earplugs... Go figure!!! LOL!!! :-D
Now you wanna laugh. Check out this video for comparison (especially for the people who refuse to accept that a woman can infact tackle some of these home projects just as well as any man)... ua-cam.com/video/UCl4Z_XMNxc/v-deo.html Think he used enough tools to wedge in behind those baseboards?! LOL!!
where can you get than 5 in 1 handy tool that you used in the begining?
anything like this: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-14-in-1-Painter-s-Tool-DSX-G14/202038673
Caulk??
I use a knife and a trim puller instead of a crowbar..a crowbar will damage the drywall if your not too careful
I love how she says Caulk
I give you a lot of credit doing video. Nice and thorough but you need to pronounce caulk correctly...rhymes with hawk. Keep making videos. Women need to see other women doing projects. Thanks
THANK YOOOU!
Well done, but earplugs to remove a baseboard? That's a first for me.
JohnnyDemarco you’re likely to have some loud screams when you begin to cut the cauLk
She did mention the reason was to protect against sound of using a hammer to strike the pry bar, but she did not really need to do that in this video.
I wish there was a close-up showing how and what you are actually doing...
YES
