    I’ve been using that concrete dry in post holes for over 20 years now. Don’t need special 20 min bag either. Put bag in the hole, few secs of hose water on top, a few tamps with 2x2, move on to next. So easy.

      There's zero sequence to how they post their "new" videos. It's unlike any other channel where there's some kind of logic applied. With TOH it's just a mismash of whatever they post. Probably have different teams posting them up who don't even talk to one another.

      @@oldtwinsna8347 It might be contracts they have with various distributors or production companies. I'd guess for short clips they need to wait x amount of days before posting them on other sites (or into syndication). And for full episodes it's also x days (but quite a bit longer)

    19:18 -- Does that lock actually keep the gate closed? Because both doors move together and the lock looks pretty loose, it seems like it can be pushed open even when "locked".

    Sorry Jenn, but unless is the "disinfectant" version of Simple Green (the purple bottle), I'm sticking with a dilution of bleach. And I use either WD40 or Balistol oil to protect the pruners (bypass and anvil) after use. I prefer the brands that allow removable blades so I can sharpen them on stones. I'd like to see an entire episode on pruning, care, techniques and maintenance ... and a good book for reference.

    It's not very often that one needs to sweat the pipe to a silcock, unless there's an obstacle in the way that prevents one from putting the coupler onto the valve. Furthermore, it's easier for a homeowner to replace a valve if it's not sweated on. I wouldn't even sweat it together in new construction, for the same reason. It's called power to the homeowner.

      It would have been just as easy for him to thread the end on and cut the pipe to the necessary length and then take the fitting off and solder the fitting.
      Then install the silcock.
      Then go inside and attach the pipe to the silcock and solder the inside pipe once the silcock is mounted to the outside wall properly.

      I solder or crimp pex any chance I get because solder and pex fittings are cheap. $.099 for a solder/pex coupler vs $5 - 15 for various other types.

    I can see issues with that spigot. It's angled upwards not letting the water to drain out properly, potentially being able to freeze and burst.

      @Charlesb88 2 роки тому

      I’m not sure which spigot your talking about as the both the cutaway spigot and the new one shown being installed are both angled downward. These two spigots also appear to have an anti-siphon feature under that cap on top. I’m not seeing any spigot that’s pointed upwards in this clip are you sure you saw what you think you saw?

      @@Charlesb88 I could be seeing it wrong but that newly installed spigot, the whole unit seems to be slanted backwards. The remaining water after the valve is closed should be able to drain out therefore it's a good practice to have it slanted a little to the front.

      It doesn’t matter if there is water in there. The pipe is open to the air as the washer is way inside the house.
      Think about it. You’ll realise it’s not a problem.

    • @Charlesb88
      @Charlesb88 2 роки тому

      @@Hippey83 Since the pipe is open at the end and the washer is way inside even if water were to pool inside, it won’t be trapped inside with air where it matters so pipes bursting isn’t an issue unless the basement freezes too. Thus I wouldn’t worry about the pipe angle which looks ok to my eyes so long as the air at the end of the spigot is free to escape.

    WD40 is more than just a lubricant, Jenn, as it's name says.... WD or Water Displacement, it also keeps moisture at bay.
    I have seen an Electronics Technician spray it inside mating halves of electrical and electronic connectors.
    I did not believe it would work... and waited for it to arc and spark... it did not do any thing other that operate properly.
    So, it does a good job keeping moisture off the metal bade of a bypass pruner.

    Paint vinyl siding?
    Outside paint lasting 10-12 years! This depends on certain ingredients in the paint!
    Even with high quality paint maybe 5 years. Perhaps 10-12 years if it's perpetually cloudy or Mount Vesuvius just blew its top!
