I used your "replacing the wax ring on the toilet" video yesterday. You were so calm saying "You can do it" that I thought I could...and I did!
Nice!
Weve all been there:)
It is very impowering to solve your own home emergencies and to understand how things work and how to repair them. Leah has really helped a lot of people with this channel. She is one of the best teachers on UA-cam.
Linkify then!
@@walterbordett2023 I love her videos but they’re never long enough!
I feel so encouraged!!! I'm in a historic older home and quickly found myself feeling overwhelmed with those little things which are BIG!!! The windows are painted shut with exception of a couple for air units. Thank you for the valuable information... it helps.
Same situation! It feels like for every one thing we fix, we discover two more horrors to be fixed/replaced.
Good luck to you and your home! I live in one as well and it has its charms and its 'charms'. lol I love how this channel handles all of its topics. Leah is one of the best!
What kind of fool wouldn't stay until the end? We all love to watch every precious second of your teachings. Be blessed!
Go Leah! 1 million subs is coming and YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE! Hugs!
Thanks B
@@seejanedrill I 👍agree
Absolutely
I grew up on a job site and the the wealth of knowledge I've gained watching Leah is substantial
I agree!
i hate the UA-cam algorithm, I used to watch every video, but now I will leave commentary so YT knows this is premium content
This is what we need! Not only a history to, or the why's answered, but then how to fix a problem common in older homes. Thank you! Really well done!
Now that makes perfect sense. Teaching us things we didn’t even we needed to know and showing me how to do things I do need to know how to do. I love the knowledge behind the work. Thank you Leah as always you’re my go to channel when I need to do something in home repair.
Love all your little tips as a first time homeowner with a fixer upper at 26 years old so many of your videos have already came in handy and save me lots of money thank you!
Leah - my OTHER NOTE - Here in Sonoma Country Wine Country - I had a nice couple ask me to paint a bedroom in a VERY CUTE house. The bedroom had the walls and ceiling painted BLACK and RED - I mean HIGH GLOSS BLACK and HIGH GLOSS RED!! The walls were red. The trim around the windows, the switch covers and outlet covers were black and THE CEILING WAS A CHECKERBOARD of RED AND BLACK!!! Squares that were approx 2 ft on each side. The room had been painted very neatly and accurately - probably a young musician! Well - they wanted me to paint the ceiling WHITE and the walls a lovely BEIGE. Well - I did TWO COATS of PRIMER and then did the paint. FUN JOB!!!
Another great video from an amazing woman. You REALLY need to voice over some books because your voice is so soothing and calming.
Just finished a full kitchen remodel last week in four (very long) days, and your video gave me flashbacks. Everything else is great. Lol
Edit: Solid information again, Leah.
4 days WOW!
Leah...flat paint made me look like a pro mudder on ceiling drywall, my wife even approved and I'll never let the secret out! LoL I agree with your instruction. God bless.
this is why i love leah! she not only tells you how to do stuff correctly, she tells you why you are doing it.
You are the Bob Ross of home improvement!
Also, scrolling through my subscribed channels upload page...A "This Old House" channel upload from 2 hours ago.
"How To Wallpaper A Ceiling"!
Sometimes the world is weird.
Wallpapered ceilings were very common a century ago
I used your Tutorial on how to use a pipe/tubing cutter a few days ago as I was cutting pipe for a towel rail. It was very helpful and the pipe was cut cleanly and effectievly thanks to your advice. Thank you.
Have a window painted shut.... Was just wondering how to fix! Thanks!!
I always wondered why flat white was used on ceilings, now Leah I know thank you for being there and doing what you do best.
Leah, I never skip one of your lessons. A lot of Pro’s should watch too!
Always thought was B/C if there was a leak, it would be noticed sooner....but your explanation(s) do make sense... Peace , Love, respect. David
Leah, this worked exactly like you said it would. I'm SO thankful for this video.
All the windows to my house were painted shut by the previous owner. Using this tool exactly like you said helped me get all the windows opened! THANK YOU!
I remodeled my house 3 years ago. I made a room into a "music room".
I set the music room up as a sort of nostalgia 1970ish style. I did put barnwood for 3 of the walls and painted 1 wall a lihjt brownish color.
Then I was debating on what to do about the ceiling. Like I was saying, I wanted to give it this nostalgia 70s look and was going to paint the ceiling black. Yes I said black.
The idea I had was to paint it black and then installed many tiny bulbs in random area. The bulbs would have had a dimmer to brighten or dim the bulbs to make it look like stars in the sky at night. Then one day I went to a nursing home and saw an elderly person staring at the ceiling and I looked to see what was going on...... it was a laser light projector that can be set to create the Milky Way galaxy or just set it up to show slow moving star showers going across the celiing. Now that I saw this video, maybe it might have been a good idea that I did not paint the celing black after all
Love you, you explain everything so one can understand! Thank you!
Thanks for the information on flat, white ceilings. Also, didn't know that that tool existed for opening windows that were painted shut.
This is the best DYI program on UA-cam!!
Coming from a painting contractor, Yes, the flat paint will hide imperfections. The reason flat is preferred is the light coming from outside (windows) will reflect from the windows into your eye unlike most of the walls and the ceiling is huge and almost anywhere you stand in the room you could get a refection from a sunlight bouncing off the ceiling into your eye.
Good luck
Nobody told Michelangelo about flat white ceilngs when he was painting the Sistine Chapel. 😉
Actually Ive been to the Vatican and words can not describe the beauty of that ceiling.
Would keep a close eye on her on there or the ceiling might get covered in white paint in no time :)
@@seejanedrill Yes, I've also seen it, it's very impressive. The ceiling of the Napoleon apartment in the Louvre in Paris is also well worth seeing (as are the rest of the exhibits).
Been do this for decades, but I really enjoy your videos. I know the stuff but you're so perky and fun. I'm glad you are here to help people.
What a slick tool! Thanks, Miss Leah, for all you do to encourage people to do!
Leah, you’re one of my few & favorites that I follow…🌷 Love your presentation style.
You always have great tips Leah! I’ve been doing this kinda work for 35 years and I’ve never seen the window opener tool. Just like the English Tool for ferrel removal. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you!
The paint cutter tool could also used to free any painted over objects like a outlet plate, AC grill, etc., to remove it.
That little pull saw is amazingly more efficient then a utility knife and thin putty knife Ms. Leah, great tip! I always thought ceilings were painted with flat paint to better reflect ceiling lights, you sure have taught me some things over the years!
I enjoy not only the content but the presentation! You have solved several problems for me. Being able to look for things in plain language helps too. I've removed popcorn from my ceiling and it was simple to find how to apply ceiling texture. NOW I know to use flat white to hide imperfection. Thanks
Just you saying, "YOU CAN DO THIS" at the end makes me stay thru the entire video every time.
Always great content, Thanks Leah!
Another amazing video!!! I have painted so many homes and always had reservations when the customer wanted ceilings to be the same color as the walls. I wish I had your experience to tell them why they should stick with flat and white. Can't wait for more videos!!!
I have worked on many homes and have done just about everything on a home. However, never seen a window tool like that i used a 5in1 or a blade to open windows. Always enjoy your videos. Peace
I love the way you teach so everybody understands keep up the good work thanks
i consider myself a good diyer, and im not a regular here.
just every now and then i drop by when i have a job half planned out to see if you have an easy way or a useful tool for the job.
you have about a 75% success rate for saving me some stress. thats pretty damn good!
thanks leah, it's really appreciated!
I never new that about the ceiling. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge
I freaking LOVE your channel. I’ve always wanted a unique house and we bought our first last year. Plaster walls and built in 1950. I learn so much from your tutorials. Thank you. Thank you. Your voice is so relaxing.
I wonder why all the ugly popcorn had to go up on the ceiling, nothing is better than a nice flat ceiling. Love your tips , explanations and encouragement for doing thing yourself. Thank you!
Popcorn is cheaper and faster to apply than taping and sanding
Thanks Leah for sharing your knowledge with the world...
I truly and deeply thank you for your simple and informative content. I have troubles and you give quick and easy solutions for them, THANK YOU!
A tool I never knew existed! Thanks!
Omg!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Not only did this video prevent me from making the mistake of painting my ceiling a different color but I’m able to use the windows I love again after a painter painted them shut! This improved my life more than you can know
The pipe cutter comment gave me an instant solution to a long legged bar stool.
Now I can evenly cut off this legs!
Thank you for the pipe cutter video.
Thank you Leah ! Informative as always , explained in a way only you can. I never saw the window opener tool thank you .
Im going to try this this weekend. There is a window in my old childhood home bedroom that was painted and we could never get that window open for more that 20 yrs.
Come back here afterwards and let us know how it went?
@@CrankyPantss i definitely will
Always good information. Thanks, Leah.
Having a rough day . GOD looked down and said I have the cure for what ails you. Here is a little See Jain Drill in your feed. Yes I can do this
I hope you're doin better.
Jane, I learn so much from you and your videos. Thanks tons!
Omgeeee....did this in my 1930s farmhouse 30 years ago and it was awful painting the Windows. Sure wish I had you and youtube back then! Cock it to the side reduces the point of contact......so simple yet just made me face plant. I'll know next time. Thank you for being you!
Don't you Just LOVE Old Houses? Could have used that tool 30+ years ago. =\ _time flies_
1st thing i did when i moved in, was OPEN the Double Hung Windows - After Cutting into all the paint. UGH!
Why paint them?! Couldn't they have been left alone to see Wood. *Thanks Leah!*
Leah not only are your videos awesome and informational, but you make me smile! Your spirit shines through and you can light up a room! Never stop being you!!
Just want to tell you you're awesome Leah. I watch your vids from time to time. You're a wealth of knowledge and full of positivity. Thanks for all the help over the years. Have a great weekend :)
Thanks Leah. Another priceless tip!
If you want to free up an old widow sash that has one hundred years of paint on it, do this instead:
1) get a cordless multi tool with a proper blade attachment.
2) make sure to use eye and ear protection.
3) be patient, let the tool do the work.
That's a great tip
@@seejanedrill Thank you for putting out such good, high quality content. I appreciate your knowledge of old school lime putty/ gauge plaster finishing methods in particular.
Thanks for featuring our Window Opener!
Leah is amazing! New subscriber and I look forward to seeing your videos. 🥰🥰🥰
Well done, as always, Leah ! Thanks.
Leah you are just wonderful. Thank you sweetheart with love from Australia.
Leah, you're amazing - def from believeland with your hard working kinesthetic mentor roots
Love the thought of White flat paint on the ceiling. thanks for the tip on the painted stuck window tool.
Darker ceilings also tend to make the ceiling/room feel shorter!
The way you speak is very calming.
Love your videos on how to do it. I wish you were my neighbor.
So glad you changed your intro music. I use to have to mute the old. Thanks for something more easy on the ears.
Thank you Leah. You have the best information, who even knew they made such a tool?
You're awesome, Leah !
First time viewer, and I LOVED learning these lessons. Hearing the actor analogy suddenly made it make sense. Thank you!!
I have a 1927 bungalow with double hung windows that have the weights. I just had all my ropes fixed on the bottom windows (and I can now open them (without having to anchor the window with a book!) but I wasn't sure about the top windows. The worker told me that they normally open but people paint them shut, like mine. I just ordered the tool and I'm going to try to open the top windows!
Love the videos I find them both relaxing and informative
I really enjoy the simplistic and kind way you teach leah 🙂
Stay till the end of the video - I always want to stay till the end of your videos!
As always, I enjoy your information and teaching techniques. I have never see a window opener tool at the big box stores ( and I work at a big box store. Be Well and Good Journey Richie
Great video! Love the new opening also!
Excellent stuff
You are the best @seejanedrill. You deserve every success for your channel and the future. Lots of love from Australia.
Thank you Will
Thanks for saying tip and not life hack
Our ceilings are white but we used satin paint to reflect the light and our house is under 1000 feet.
That window paint tool is also really good for removing old caulk.
Love your work.
When you describe a project it Your words exude such encouragement - that they make me believe I can do it... and I can.
You are a gem.
I really like your videos. Your videos are very informative nd your presentation is really great.It is very cool to see a woman doing this work. Great job, Cindy
Thank you ! ❤
THANK YOU !!!!!
Leah, you are wonderful, thanks!
Thank you!!! I have windows that’s were painted shut and can’t open them! I will try this!
Thanks for the information, I used the tool to open my window and it works. God bless you!
Thank you
Got my stuck window open thanks to you!
wow. great points!
"The ceiling is supposed to go unnoticed" tell that to the Cistine Chapel lol! My ceiling is white silk finish, but then it has a textured finish. We call a flat finish "matte" in Europe. Fantastic video as always!
Ahhhh but the Sistine Chapel the room is very dark
@@seejanedrill I know - such amateurs! :D
Cool video. But coming from Europe, I'm wondering why they would even paint their windows shut? On purpose or because of not paying attention?
Thank you Leah
You are just plain cool. SUCH a good DIY channel.
I like your surroundings. I noticed as I aged and my eyes got dimmer, I started painting everything white.
Another great informative video. Thanks Leah
