Have you ever wondered how to do something, not sure about a purchase, or just gather some inspiration? Well, we (mostly me) decided to take "some" of our ideas, purchases, plans, locations, etc. and make it something useful for others. Introducing...What.We.Did...you get the idea!
If you have any questions or want to know what we did regarding a particular topic, please leave a comment and I'll see what I can do to help answer your issues.
Hi hope you’re doing well. Thanks for the 7 video series, I also have a bye cuspid valve surgery scheduled for 8/4/24 now I know what to expect. I’m 65 I’ve had no go for years . I’m ready to get this done can’t wait to feel better. I know I have to wade through the bad to get to the good. My dad had the same surgery when he healed he said he didn’t know how bad he felt until he had the surgery and healed up. Thanks again. Jim 😎
Hi and thanks...doing very well...it's been 3 years tomorrow since the surgery. Yeah, the recovery sucks, but it's worth it. I hope everything goes well for you...do the walking and then some! Take care.
@@bigjm3143 hi there…I didn’t wait. I actually caught the symptoms early from riding my road bike with my brother and seeing the difference in heart rates. I ended up having to wait about three years of watching tests and until having major symptoms.
Great video. Do you think adding a ledger board between the brackets and the wall can work? I have a stucco + plywood wall. It is hard to find the studs behind the wall in the right position for the brackets.
I love it… but…did you paint the back wall facing the house? I am concerned about the siding breaking down years without paint protection from the build.
Hell from the uk I’d like to ask your advice please ….it’s actually about the retractable awning …..we had one put one up a week ago but there is a problem the rollers seem to be too high and causing the material to pucker both winding out and in so much so it looks like it will rip the material ……the only thing I noticed is it’s been put on over so past the bolts in the middle could this be the problem .going by how it looks I can’t see it making much difference it’s at the right height and angle looks just like all the ones iv watched on RU-vid but something is not right .have you any idea please thank you
@@WhatWeDid365 ahh thank you my husband is going to adjust it some how because it’s definitely too high and it’s snagging the material …thanks for getting back to me 👍👍👍
Glad to see you were getting better....you said you now started sleeping on the bed...where were you sleeping all this time and why couldn't you sleep in the bed from the start? Thank you sir.
Glad ur driving and doing good. I had my aortic valve replaced seven weeks ago. I have had pain really since leaving the hospital. I pretty much do normal things, just don't go crazy. I was A simpatic so I don't need rehab I was told. I walk a mile and a half most every day with no issues. It was really not a big deal and pain was minimal, so I hope this helps people facing surgery. I wish u well and a long healthy and happy life! Thx for the video. I'm 72.
Thanks for watching and hope it helps some folks who may be going through or getting ready to go through something like this. Wish you the best as well!
@@Nature_with_Peter_Kane Hey Peter, No they said I could travel not a problem. I'm going to wait till I'm three month mark and off post-op meds. Wish u well.
@@Nature_with_Peter_Kane It was no strenuous activity at the beginning, but wanted me to move around though with the therapy group - did a lot of bike riding and walking. Once I was through with therapy got the all clear for anything.
Good video.. what is the make and model of this one.. I installed a 10 x 8 that looks like the exact same instructions and parts as yours. I noticed that every time I roll it it up the fabric starts to bunch up in the center of the roller. Does your do the same?
Thanks for watching...I don't recall which make and model we purchased...it's been a minute or two or how about years now. The fabric bunched up slightly and I just had to adjust the front bar connections. After that everything has rolled up nicely ever since. I haven't touched it in three years now.
Professional awning installer here. Your front bar connections are misaligned. To correct this bring the awning approx 90% of the way in, loosen both front bar connections (not too far), adjust the position of the front bar centering it on the awning. With the front bar connections still loose, retract the awning all the way, then retighten the front bar connectors.
Love the video, thanks so much for the heads up about the centre roller and the adjustments to the front bar fixings, when I get to that bit it's gonna help a lot. My only question is, how in the name of all that's sane do you get the awning to slot into the main roller. We have tried for ages and have currently given up. The slot in the roller doesn't seem to be anything like wide or deep enough to accept the fabric with the cord in it???? It looks llike a good bit of kit apart from that but the frustration is tempting me to throw it somewhere! HELP!
You can adjust the arms on the front bar in a way that it will retract completely. Get the awning out by roughly 1 foot and loosen the arm on the front bar and slide it so it ie even with the other one. Both elbows should be center ftont bar to square bar. Might take a couple of tries
Dang!!! Cannot STAND these videos where the talking is very quiet then suddenly WHAM the music BLARES out!!! Stopped watching because I had to constantly change volume!!! Can the DA@! music!!!!!!!
You were my inspiration to build something similar in my basement. I copied everything you showed here down to the nut and the washers. My kids love it and it’s their only activity in this Canadian winter. ❄️
I am thinking of purchasing one of these so I have a question. I see your soffit area is sloped,but if it was flat, how much room is required from the bottom of the brackets to the top of the fabric roll when retracted for installation? I have some height restrictions and can’t seem to find those dimensions, only length and projection.
I ordered one I’m hoping I can get it together right I been watching all kind of videos on it I should get it sometime this week thank you for the tips I’m from Louisiana I’m putting mine on a cargo trailer sure hope it goes good now I’m one of your followers
Good build. I have these questions: 1. Did you anchor the floor or does it just sit floating on the ground (and could blow away in a windstorm)? 2. Did you anchor the shed to the house? Are the two touching? 3. How do the shed roof and back wall of the house meet? Is the shed connected or anchored to the house? Flashing used? 4. Is water rolling down the backside of the shed an issue?
Thanks for checking it out! 1. Floating on the ground/base rock...it has not moved even with some high winds we've had...it's got some weight to it. But could always use some forming stakes driven into the ground and then secured to the bottom frame. 2. The shed is not touching or anchored the house...has about 1-1/2" gap. 3. The roof does not touch the house, however, the drip edge does and I used a bit of flashing to help with water runoff - which answers part of #4. 4. It's possible there may be a bit of water running down the back from a rain storm, but the flashing against the house helps. Plus, the wind we get from time to time and having the gap would dry it out. Thanks again!
