Great idea thank you. I’m wanting to install a clean out option for my gutters to allow easy access for inspection as well as being able to divert water in the event of something catastrophic like a sewer backup. My gutters currently drain to the sewer (it’s an old house, working on fixing that) and in the mean time this is a great way to emergency divert the water elsewhere if the lateral ever clogged
That's a great idea to use this for a diverting situation!!! I've heard many municipalities are requiring (or heavily encouraging)homeowners to disconnect their gutter runoff from stormwater connections. Good luck with it!
I wish I had seen this video BEFORE I removed glazing the hard way from 18 window frames! I'll definitely try it for the other 24! Thank you for sharing.
@@WhateverUnique river birch are great compared to paper birch. paper birch fall apart so much more. there is no hope of them even coming close to being street trees.
Well that's actually a great aspect of this method of removal unlike the others where you are grinding and scraping breaking it down and producing dust. This is basically breaking it out in chunks and it's likely all going to be wet and keep anything from becoming airborne.
I'll try and get some video when it's raining but there's really little to no leaking. It's all vertical drop and it's not under any pressure. You may get some negligible drips but the area gets more water splashes from rain falling just outside the roof line than anything you'd see here. The slip ring fits quite snug and as long as the cuts are nice and straight and everything else it fitted up well there really should be no concern.
Hey finally had a rainy day where I could get a video of this quick disconnect. As you can see there's little to no leaking and certainly nothing to be concerned with. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cx-ZntpigUg.html
Out of curiosity are you doing a new system or thinking to retro fit an existing set up? I certainly see no reason someone couldn't simply cut an existing pipe nice and clean and then fit the slip rings on after the fact.
Starts by saying how he doesn’t get “specialty tools”. Proceeds by using a wallpaper steamer to remove glazing. Because everyone has a wallpaper steamer lying around 🤦♂️🤦♂️😂
hmmm so ur telling me my glass installer wasted me hundreds of dollars by scraping it dry. gotta add it was on windows that could be up to 150yr old, maybe it was hardened more, idk.
What is happening is that everybody and his/her brother are now connoisseurs of window restoration. Please watch the real professionals of Historic Window preservation and restoration like John Leeke or others if you really want to know how to take care of your windows and preserve your beautiful wavy panes of antique glass and restore your windows professionally.
I wish I would have seen this video before I removed the glazing from a window from the 1800's! I used a screwdriver and hammer to chip tiny pieces away. This looks like the perfect method!
Thank you for sharing this! I am glazing for the first time and without the wallpaper steamer, I would have surely broken glass by now since it was rock hard! Took much less time also! May be able to finish (starting in September in Midwest!)!
This was gold! I didn't have a steamer, so I made do with hot water from my coffee maker. For the top edge, I folded a washcloth rag into a long strip, and laid that across a piece of wood and wet it and pushed it against the glazing. I did this twice and the putty just softened right up!
Hey... anyone here? I'm down in New Orleans and I'm going to attempt to deglaze and reglaze windows on our 1920's Craftsman home and then prime and paint them. Any suggestions if the wood is a bit worn?
This method does not work on ancient, sun baked, glazing. The glass pane will crack before the glazing softens enough. Sheilding a heat gun with a larger size gypsum knife works better
Absolutely Genius. I only have one double hung window with 102 year year old putty on my garage and I'm going to use this method. I did not want to use a heat gun and break the glass. THANKS
