Home News: Are Fixer-Uppers a Smart Idea?
I would really love it if these weren't so loud
Running cupped boards like that is asking for kickback especially if that lumber isn’t dried and acclimated to your climate, and changing your position so that the kickback will pull your hands into the blade is insane. You might want to invest in a SawStop your fingers will thank you
I just got the bosch at lowes. I just want to make it known the stand is the most annoying thing ever to put together and no i didnt read the instructions.
@@CoKanet-no2jt As an OG tool reviewer (seriously, I’ve been doing this so long and have been so inside baseball my keyboard has tennis balls on the bottom of it like a walker in an old age home) I can say that the history of that Gravity Rise situation came from an independent inventor who sent me a sample of his garage-invented and made idea. I told Bosch about it in passing. A year later, the stand you hate is here. - I love the Bosch saw and the stand “works” but it’s all way too heavy for practical use in a shop or field application where there aren’t multiple people to handle it. - Side Note: All stands are annoying to put together.
It is obvious that the soil into which he immersed the piles never froze. Otherwise, these piles without anchoring would have been pushed up in the cold winter due to frosty heaving.))
@@vonPalme One “immerses” things in in liquid. However, I get what you’re getting at. Yes, it freezes here. Post-Protector sleeves are detailed with what’re called “uplift lugs” that prevent frost heaving. Sorry to rain on your parade.
Sponsored by Powerlag
@@frugalguy1 I’ve been working with them for years. I wouldn’t if they didn’t deliver. I don’t think they sponsored this one though. It’s been a while.
Pour concrete and use a bracket. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Wood is porous it will hold moisture. Covering it will only accelerate that process. RUclips! 😂😂
@@robcollins3907 Look at you giving some orders. Super cute. - I suppose you also hand-drive all your nails and don’t have power tools because reinventing things is dumb, right? - Also, I did place concrete-just not more than I needed to. Which means I didn’t buy, mix and fuc+ around with stuff I didn’t need to deal with. Same with the bracket. Same with a tubular form. Same with the dirt I dug out of the hole I can put back in the hole. Same with the time required to do all these things I didn’t have to do-but could charge for. - Water trapped in a system can do damage. No water is trapped in this system. - RUclips commentor :) :)
Wow thanks! This is a horrible way to do it!
@@gtamediaproductions1 After having read some surprising comments, I can say-at least for how I work-you’re just not even close to right. Dudes out there playing baton with 12-footers…no thanks. Boards don’t have feet. They stay where they are. I move.
Is the a stand with wheels
@@user-cv5ht1wt4q I just received the stand. I’m not sure if it is out yet at Lowes. It’s nice, X-style. No wheels.
My older buddy has one of the old skil corded. Makes me think i need to work out. Definitely a man's saw.
@@kevinshafer4296 Yup. That’s the Skil 77 or Skil Mag 77. - That’s an all-beef patty of a unit right there.
No wonder that most people refer to all saws as skilsaws kinda like every recip saw is a sawzall @myfixituplife
@@kevinshafer4296 Oh, yeah. Skilsaw is the Kleenex/Xerox/Band-Aid/Pop-Sicle of the circ saw world. Same with Milwaukee. - I get it, but what grinds my gears is te interchangeable use of hammerdrill/rotary hammer. Two TOTALLY different tools. They sorta do the same thing, but also, no.
Great work. And I love your work outfit
@@johnc1280 Thank you. - The pants are Dickies double knee Flex fit. Love them. The suspenders are uBee. Go to MyFixitUpLife.com. Pretty sure we have a link to them. Best suspenders BY FAR.
We do it without needing to video it. Get an apprentice if you need a fan club.
@@stewartgranger7674 I believe you. Probably best to keep it that way, too.
Can ya do the whole deck in ground contact pressure treated lumber?
@@ahilbilyredneksopinion Technically, yes. I’ve resurfaced decks where the lumber has been buried for 30-years. However, if there’s a way you can lay a few inches of gravel, I highly recommend it.
pour it full of cement below the frost line... but bell the bottom out more to make the hole bigger at the bottom... and fill near the top... then use a 12 inch sonic tube of 8 inches or more... to make flush with the ground... after it sets.... use a stand off 6x6 post mount... and it will last a very long time...
I love your understanding of the problem we're solving. Yes, we all solve it how it works for us and passes inspection. 100%. However, Code is just Criteria. How you get there is up to you. - I get it. Frost heaves and whatnot. - But this approach gets the same results with less work and expense. IMO. Decide for yourself.
No way in hell I’d do a stupid thing like that. Yes I’m a retired professional.
When you saw it work, what happened?
@@myfixituplifenothing this time. I’ve seen what can happen in the cabinet shop where i was a cabinet builder. The piece of wood almost went thru the wall. Our door maker did it and about wet himself. You have a lot less control way out on the outfeed end. Its the laws of physics
@@jeffwilder7117 I agree it’s the laws of physics. And I totally get the pucker moment when a hunk of hardwood gets shot at you at a million board feet a second. On the other hand, we’re still talking apples and oranges. A 3-phase stationary unit (which should have outfeed support anyway) combined with hardwoods is a different animal than a 15-amp, softwood cutting saw set up in the back yard. - I’m not making light of the very serious situation. Just pointing out that they;re not the same and the same criteria doesn’t necessarily apply. Besides, IF this piece got away from me pulling (so far, none have) all I have to do is let go.
uses a cement paver at the bottom of the hole. uses a treated post. most likely will fill with either sand/river rock/cement. proceeds to use a unnecessary "post condom" and secures it to post with screws that defeats the seal instead of using natural pressure from what you used to re fill the hole.
I don't want to play the Building Science card, but you're playing the "I'm A Common Sense Master" card too hard. The bluff is easy. - You don't know what you're talking about. Might sound good, but anybody who knows how wood really works aint buyin' it.
@@myfixituplife every one in your comments thinks you do content for satire, if you would like to see what real craftsman work looks like on mutable 25+ year old property's that look better than your work and il be willing to sight you a few pictures as well as my company's references to the work we did an not the typical cheapo Suzy home maker diy stuff you use on your channel as a form of escapism for the reality that you in fact don't know as much as you do.
@@RPGESUS9001 Between your spotty grammar, spelling and syntax its kinda hard to cipher if you’re one of those “real carpenters” so-called “real carpenters” keep telling me they are, a media critic, a troll, or an armchair psychoanalyst. Maybe-and extra points here for range-you’re all of the above. - What your problem is s that I’m doing this a different way than you were taught. And you equate that with “wrong”. You miss efficiencies or nuggets of ideas that may help you in your day to day to grind down the whole notion that this has flummoxed you. It’s OK. You’re not alone.
@@myfixituplife like i said man if you want to see what looks like to do the job so it will last longer than 5 years hit me up, but if you want to use your little channel to act like you have any Surmountable amount of skill/knowledge and that everyone in your comments doesn't think you an your b tier wife are cheap diy hacks that use their platform as a form of escapism to any form of criticism that people may have of them. "What your problem is that I’m doing this a different way than you were taught." yea you are right, the 20+ years of job sight training and apprenticeships taught me the the right way of doing the job so its done right and done in a way that best represents my skills as a tradesman an not in a way that says "how can i do the minimal amount of work to get the job done."
One large pizza please, hold the phalanges.
@@jfalbo Had to look this one up. And, yeah, no. Still don’t get it. But I do now haver a hankerin’ for a slice of roni. Extra grease.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. (Psalms 14:1-4)
I'm just eating up my lawn. You OK?
That is an old Hitachi chainsaw, they stopped making them
They sure did. And Hitachi Global spun off the power tools to "Metabo HPT". - Still good tools far as I can tell.
7 1/4 is to heavy. And the levers for beval and depth break really easy
@@danieltoms1699 I get it. I like it for some things, but given the choice, my every day carry is the Flex 6 1/4, Blade Left unit. Same company owns Skil. - I love that saw. - But when I need full go-juice I amp up to the 7 1/4 power plant. - I haven’t had lever breakage problems on any saw I’ve ever owned.
Running the screw through the 4*4 first makes having a 8" screw pointless.
Nope. It's locked. - You forget the 4x4 posts, 2x4 rails, and 2x6 top cap. - Yeah, if this was a commercial space, I'd blow it all out. But this is a tiny backyard space. No raves happening here. Cool?
Where’s the pro tip?
Beyond what you were taught.
Can you cut 2*6*7 wood
Where you get the hardware ?
Rail Fx
This is all wrong, but, whatever works for you.
No. It's not wrong. It may not be the Formula1 of sharpening, but it works gangbusters better than files and keeps me moving.
Damn, never let me buy a house he makes, just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Never let anybody listen to a concept this absent of any subject matter expertise.
@@myfixituplife house only 53 years old near me can't be lived in due to so many issues. Supports weren't able to support sht and started sinking, the foundation was cracked because they used rebar that wasn't prepped right and it stretched and contracted in the concrete, and after the last 10 years it's become a biohazard due to the amount of molds and fungi that it can't be torn down. The builders could of learned how to do there job the right way, but it would of been more expensive. If the things you said were understood correctly by me, in 30 years in a water rich (lots of rain or lowlands) you should see sagging and rot. In a very dry place, 70ish years and either dry rot or splintering. Splintering is not a major problem but it really makes a house look bad, devaluing it by a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars, depending on where you are, and it's between a 300 and 900 dollar fix. And that's the non dangerous outcome. There are a few things people can do while building a house to minimize this sht but it would be cheaper to do the job the standard way. As for not knowing what I'm talking about, spent two years trying to be an architect, but I lacked the creativity, wanted to be a civil engineer but had no more money to spend on education. But even if I don't know every word you use, I know how to build buildings strong and how they will age pretty decently, as a matter of fact, over 60% of all housed in the U.S. that were made in the last 30 years have mid level to major flaws in either their design or the building method used, either due to cheaping out or bad skillsets for the workers/people running the shtshow, and about 27% of all DIY that changes the shape or layout of a home are done in a way that makes it potentially dangerous to live in.
Liftmaster
I couldn’t think of a slower way to do this!
You should try harder. - I've also evolved my guard post setting situation since this video.
You don't want to put the post on the outside..looks like Chit!! Lmao
I get it. There was an in-board 2x8 here. - A boxed post would be 7" in from the band. - Not good.
And now you have to dig down three times as much for stability
Nope. Hole already dug. Footing already placed. Next.
And the water that enters from the top with no way to escape.....
We punch holes in the bottom of the Post-Protector. Water drains.
What is the durability of that sleeve?
Good question. Forever?
@@myfixituplife ok, that's true enough, your kids, kids, kids, kids. Will be the ones that woyld have to deal with any issues with the sleeve. But over those 120ish years your seeping microplastics into the ground, gotta love risk of infertility and cancer. But that's less then a 1% chance for that to even have any effect in 120 years so it's not rly a problem on it's own, only would be if every home had them.
@@Doi- If we all had to live in the Great Pyramid of Giza, nobody would live anywhere. I get what you’re saying. Micro-plastic leaching I don’t think is really a thing in ground contact. It’s more of a photo-degradation in the garbage patches in the ocean and in manufacturing hubs.
That's the way i do it too. Works perfectly when they shrink a bit. However, I put joist tape on every joist.
Joist tape is fine. - I've taken apart so many decades old decks--and our Code isn't asking or it--that I know this deck is there for a generation.
@@myfixituplife I replaced a 15 year old deck that was built by a contractor. The joists were very rotten, as well as the decking. Just trying to see that doesn't happen again by using the tape.
@@terryjones8360 Yessir. Belt and suspenders. - The towns I build in aren’t requiring it. It doesn’t mean tape isn’t a good call. - I do tape all my composite. decks. It hides the green lumber under the colored plastic.
Great video, brother!
Thank you. I love this saw. - I'm reviewing another one right now that I totally like, but I also can't wait to get back to this one.
It's for opening wooden crates.
Yup. :)
I like shoulder cuts
Same.
Aluminum?
Cable is stainless steel.
That saw is LOUD
No louder than the others.
@@myfixituplife it definitely is.. look I get it, you’re paid by the company.. but be real
Use metrics 👍🏻
Huh?
I'm curious about settling? I frame custome homes on a barrier island. Just did a job that consisted of replacing exterior stair and landings. Lower landing deck hieght was 32" above grade. Both this lower landing and upper landing , were supported by 6x6 pressure treated pilings. They were required to be on 8' below grade. I hit water at 4'6" and had to pay to have them washed down to 8' below grade. I understand your on clay and rock, but... thank u!
You 100% need to call the man at Post-Protector. - Owner / operator / good guy - www.postprotector.com/ // I wouldn't use it if it didn't make massive sense. - Call His name is Ken. He's honest.
Thats what all the girls call me the box terrier
No. No, they don't. :)
Why aren’t those posts sitting in the ground 4 feet deep those post will wiggle away after a couple years. They’ll be loose. No good.
They won't wiggle. I've taken dogshi+ decks apart that have stood decades. - This system works.,
I found one of these in an attic, nice little pocket tool
We found it an basement. :)
Make me feel old I use those twice a week to change out sheer pins.
So col!
Thanks for the hard work my good sir. Amen
We try.
Could be a furniture tool.
Huh?
Hurricane hangers bra.
I get it. But, yeah, no. Not required. Not charged to the customer. And, it works, bra.
Yeah don’t do this lol😊
Tedious. Why? People want reasons, not your announcements.
This is not how Diaz Construction does it 😮
I like Diaz Construction. - He's smart. He doesn't build in my market.
I've got 1 i keep in my tool bag and one in my box. Same thing happened to me, I found them years ago, I have a problem with passing up free stuff, especially tools, and I don't what they are made for but I've used them from ripping up flooring nails to prying warehousing racking. Still holding up
Love this. I'd never use it in remodeling. However, I can see it's baseline genius. - Nice work!
Brother just turn the breaker off. And tool number one is a Sawzall
Cute.
