"certain types of trees give of this little thing that will come of the tree and will grow another tree" - if only we had a word for these seedy things.
Many yrs ago my husband had put his clothes in the dryer, turned the lights off, and came to bed. I went into the kitchen about 15 minutes later and with the room being dark, I saw flames 🔥 in the bottom of the machine under the drum. The flames never would have been seen during the day. We were renting and the washer/dryer belonged to the landlord. There was a family renting the basement apt below us.
One of my first jobs was repairing and cleaning hotel appliances, mostly espresso coffee machines and let's just say I didn't drink coffee in cafés for a few years afterwords. That happened because while opening up a coffee machine for a service, a ton of cockroaches fell from the machine and ran all over the place, infesting our shop and giving me nightmares for a good while. :D
I love seeing Americans point to one particular state and shout about how ignorant those people are. It makes it far more palatable when the rest of the world is pointing at the whole of the US and shouting about how ignorant those people are.
"Wet debris is saturated with water." So now I finally know what "wet" means. I always kinda wondered before. I wish he explained more about the connection between dry debris and lack of rain. How does that work? Is rain a cause of wetness? Or is dryness caused by no rain? Or both?
I know this is grim but a little boy I used to baby sit and his infant brother died in a house fire caused by their dryer. The house fire danger is real please please please get that checked people!
It's awesome how you can use white vinegar in a washing machine. Good thing I don't use fabric softer. I've been watching Sid for a while now and it's really interesting to see how he's progressed from doing roofs to basic anything.
My husband has a furnace and duct cleaning company and has been in business for 22 years. It's amazing what comes out of a heat duct, and a cold air return. I have been on the job with him at times so I have seen some of the nastiest pipes around. Its especially important to get your furnace and duct cleaning done if you have pets that shed. Also its important to change your filters regularly and to use the correct size and type. If you buy the filters that you can SEE through dust and everything else will go through it as well. Using a pleated paper furnace filter is the best type. 😁
4:33 - Important, this method causes Bisphenol A (BPA) to pass into the drinking water as it is contained in the new pipes. After using this you have to replace all pipes.
@@bobbing4snapples did you read the replies to the original comment? Human waste is organic and nature (soil, oceans, mountains, etc.) will recycle that naturally while making use of it. BPA plastic isn't organic and won't be recycled. Its going to contaminate god knows what and where. The next thing you know you and 100 neighbours are doing this thing and it somehow contamintes the water source your favourite brand of water bottles is using. So now you or your kids 50 years down the line end up drinking extra plastic because you are smart "my friend". Think deeper, all this IKEA like and plastics technology is not innovation, just financially smart businesses living in the moment.
Glad to see Sid on this video, he is a great source of roofing and pressure washing info- watch his channel partridge exterior cleaning, been watching since the beginning,and he doesn’t disappoint.
My house had been a rental for 15 years. My husband was reluctant but I insisted on getting the air ducts cleaned. The entire house smelled SO much better afterwards!
only problem with hiring pros is ever since Covid hit and poste covid times, services are 3 to 4x the normal cost pre 2019. We cleaned our metal roof ourselves and used the same pressure washer for the house exterior walls. The chemicals are not difficult to work with, the percentages are known, the methods are common knowledge. We saved easily 4000 dollars or more. You are trading time for the financial savings. It won't get done as fast but who cares, the savings is worth it. Most home owners can do their own cleaning and home repairs just by watching youtube and doing some research.
I really wish these preventative cleanings/maintenance were taught in school or maybe even just a preventative cleaning mindset, you know? Along with how to pick up and lift things properly.
It doesn't take any special skills to clean any part of the average home. It just requires some time, patience, and an appetite to actually do it. The right tools help.
The blue tube repair had to be done where I live as the old pipes was 50 years old so it's the first pipe repair this building has had as its 50 years old so perfect timing
@@marie_84 Not sure what type of washer you use but liquid detergent is much better at not building up in the machine and clogging outlets. I only have 40 years of experience though so what do I know? Also no deposits on clothes.
By overflowing gutters or no gutters at all. Happened to us. We took the gutters off to have them replaced, forgot about it and time passed. Heavy rains and the ground was saturated. Basement walls started to crack and the basement flooded. In the end we tore the house down and built new.... Expensive lesson.
8:30 My mother called a company to clean her gutters. And just like this video, they dumped all on her brand new lawn and garden. ruining her garden and lawn. When she said that she didn't want them doing that, because she just spent a lot of money to do her brand new garden and lawn, they acted snotty towards her and kept dumping on her garden and lawn. She then called my siblings who are police officers as she was crying on the phone telling them what was happening. My siblings all came and told the gutter company to stop work and to leave. The gutter company then put a lean on my moms house, and tried to take away her house. My mom could not believe what was happening, and that a company that was only there to clean gutters came and ruined her garden & lawn, now have a lean on her house. Even though they damaged the property and were already paid 50% of the amount for the work, but told to leave because they were damaging the property. Thank goodness the judge was not taking any nonsense from the cleaning company and the lean was severed after 10 months in court. Since then, my mom cleans her own gutters or she has one of her children do it when she can't. Never again will she ever call a gutter company. My mom since no longer trust any company around her house she worked all her life to obtain. My mom & dad also self installed gutter shield, so nothing gets inside. she went to home depot and purchase a lot of it with my dad, and they installed it. Gutters no longer gets leaves. Moral of the story is, be careful who you hire to do work at your house. Don't just trust people. and most people will NOT take care of your house. Because its NOT their house, so they don't care about your house or property. And don't just hire anyone. And ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure you get a permit. If any contractor or company says you don't need a permit, DO NOT use them. and run away from them.
Why is their dryer lint grey? Every dryer I've ever met has averaged blue lint - there will be little patches of other colours, but it always averages out to blue.
House cleaning is a great career for people with OCD. It's not a disorder once you're doing something wholesome and productive with it - that's when you relabel it as a vocation.
Is there a midway method of cleaning your washing machine without pulling it apart? What if you got a steamer and shot that rhrough all the holes from the inside then quickly run an empty load?
Run it empty on the hottest cycle every so often and just use one of the proprietary cleaning packs. No need for all this, he’s just doing it as he is reselling them.
The pool... The house next door to mine had an in-ground pool in the back yard. Both house and pool sat abandoned for 35 years. I now see why the renovators couldnt save the pool.
@@nicolad8822 yes but usually dryer in garage wont be using such long and difficult to clean vent isnt it. For hse/apt with indoor dryer placement and a long vent, a ventless heat pump is really an much better alternative.
@@aveslpI agree that it's not 100 years old, but considering it's a furnace system as well... Hot air furnaces actually date back to 1805... So you theoretically could end up cleaning out a 200 year old ventilation system(I wouldn't expect it to be made out of galvanized metal though...)
I say stuff on most sections in case one of these workers actually sees this (dust section) why dont they use gloves and suits 😫😭 and PLEASE tell me they give a warning to all houses within a mile area at least.

(powerwash section) Why don't you cover up when using anything other than water? Is it not unsafe for the body? (roofing section) Do you warn the homeowners of they have any doorways or children (or rain) to be careful about anything coming off the roof due to the biocide being left on? Does it need to be redone if it rains very soon after being done?

When cleaning very old and dirty pools, watch out for amoeba(brain eating bacteries) same goes for places with water Im pretty sure amoeba gets inside of u if the water gets in ur nose or mouth or some wound idk though

This makes me grateful that the distance between my dryer and the outside vent is literally 8 inches- it's super easy for me to clean myself.
