Nice video - clearly narrated and good visuals. Recent practices recommend cleaning the engine surface that contacts the filter and filling the new filter with oil before installing.
By the way, if you aren't familiar with the in cabin air filter I used, it's an activated charcoal filter that I found to do a better job than just a typical paper filter. The link below this video is a two pack that cost around 10 bucks from Amazon. So far it's been working great.
Hi i went to change my Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2023 LE Transmission Fluid flush but shocking thing the technician came to me and told that its a different fluid which is not available in Canada, He said we use normal Toyota Fluid but for this we need some " TOYOTA GENUINE E-TRANSAXLE FLUID TE", So they hold me car to contact Toyota what to do ... please guide what should i do ?
@ DITaroundthehome, great content. Seemed like I was in the classroom as a student through yr clear, concise instruction. You should consider providing in-person classes at yr nearest college in the Adult Continuing Education Division..Many schools always look for instructors to teach a crash course. It can be a 1 to 2 day course up to 2 months. Then it's a win win for you, the school and the students.. Thanks again!
How to run snap-lock pipe: The crimped end of a fitting or piece of pipe is the MALE end that will fit INTO the UNcrimped female end of the next fixture/piece of pipe. The MALE end goes in the direction of air-flow to allow a more smooth transition of piping at a joint. That is NOT what is shown in this video...at least in the mock-up shots. Crimp the ends only as much as to allow for a firm/snug fit. Pop-rivets AND tape are preferable to tape alone, particularly in a direction change. Poor quality tape will become dried out and brittle over a short amount of time and will no longer hold the pipe junction together. FOIL-BACKED tape should be used, NOT duct tape.
Hi, You're follow up shows dedication and professionalism. I'm thinking about using this ceramic tile caulk to fix/fill in gaps in bathroom sink tile area which is fairly small with no walk on. I see this as a perfect solution since I can fill in the crevices without the mess of applying grout all over then wipe out with sponge...My only concern is I saw your old video and you mentioned this is a band aid. Also, caulk instructions say this is for joints. Why not using it to re-grout cervices between tiles?
It's a Band-Aid the subfloor is still uneven and good shift more resulting in further issues. I think that's probably pretty unlikely as a house is 20 years old and is probably finished settling... But the true fix would be to pull up all the floor re-level it and then put new flooring
@@DIYAroundTheHome In my case, and based on your 5-year-later results it should be fine I guess. If materials in this tube are similar to the powder grout at the store I don't see why not.
@@Bill123321 I would be really surprised if there was a powdered grout that would be flexible like what I just used. If the conditions that led to the grout cracking are not fixed, it is likely that some flexing will still happen. If you put new hard grout, it will likely crack again. This particular product is flexible and looks like grout but is very different as it is bendable unlike grout which cures like concrete in terms of hardness
@@DIYAroundTheHome My bathroom sink tiles/grout are about 17 years old. Grout in-between tiles (at some spots) is worn out and needs a little touch up. I'm thinking about scraping off a thin layer of old grout and re-apply new grout using this caulking tube instead of traditional powder grout mixed with water.
Close your eyes and imagine an overweight white dude in his 40s lift it up with his not overweight white wife in her upper 30s. Boom! The reality is dryers are pretty dang light these days, it was pretty easy to maneuver especially vs a front load washer that has concrete or whatever ungodly heavy material in the base to keep it from walking away when spinning.
Enjoyed your video. I did this to my kitchen floor using the caulking and the renew. Now that you have had your floors for a few years, I noticed my caulking seems to hold the dirt a little more so I need to wipe out more often. Did yours do the same thing?
I dont have custom set on mine :( Edit: i searched up my microwave model no. And this version doesn’t have a way to turn off the sound the model was LMV1764ST /00
If you have normal strength (for a male) there's rarely a need to tighten the filter with a wrench unless it can only be reached at an awkward angle, or for "industrial" size engines. Put a film of new oil on the gasket, too. Good of them to put the filter where it doesn't bleed all over the side of the engine.
Thanks for reply. I found my pressure regulator leaking from my drip valve. Figured I have to dig up entire box to find exact leak and fix. First time irrigation DYIer. Wish me luck. Lol.
Rocks, pebbles, and other hard things won't make it easy if they're mixed among the dirt. I'd wet the area and break it up and remove the rocks so it's just dirt. More work now but easier down the line.
Nicely done! Understandable and, informative! Quick question: In other videos the cold water supply was kept on, explaining this provides more pressure to flush the tank. In your video (and mentioned on the tank) you turned the water supply off. Does turning the water supply off still provide enough pressure to flush the tank? Thanks!
To shut off the loud repeating beeping noise of microwave oven ( Kitchen-Aid) , keep pressing the "2" button for 5 seconds (until you see GOOD displayed on the screen) . Worked for me !
If you need a rachet for the plastic cover a 10mm socket is needed. I have 5 oil filter tools and none would work. So I was mad and just went to the dealer and bought the right one that would remove the filter since I plan on keeping this car for 150k miles. lol
@@DIYAroundTheHome I moved away to Bentonville, AR and we have a big yard, all grass, and no sprinklers whatsoever. It's been nice having a lawn for the kids to play 😁
Spent today digging out a box installed exactly this way probably ten years ago. The digging was VERY tough because of the pebbles that had migrated throughout the entire lawn area, doing everything except their intended purpose of keeping the box clean and neat. The latter was so full of hard-caked dirt the valves were completely buried and not even visible when the lid was initially opened. My impression is this method is a short-term solution that looks great the day it is installed, but doesn’t hold up over time, and will not leave you with visible and practical access to the valves when maintenance becomes necessary.
Wonder if the soil type or pebble size played a role in the problem. I've installed several valve boxes this way in the last 16 years (in Utah and Arizona) and haven't had any issues getting to the valves for servicing.
@@DIYAroundTheHome Thanks for the reply. This was Central Florida, so not a location I had expected to be very dynamic in terms of soil shift. My original intention was to reposition and reinstall the box exactly as you describe (which looks great by the way) but now I'm having second thoughts...
