did you use something on the foam or directly smacked the plaster on it

Do the columns need to be cemented into this ground?

this is a potential meme

He says alot of funny things

looks good to me.

I find it hard to believe that the exterior wall is not tied every seventh course with a header. Maybe there was some other way to tie it but i am unaware. That front wall is failing and is going to fail. My guess this was an abandoned house that suffered water infiltration, some fly by night developer bought the property, fixed it up by less than standard methods. They then put it on the market and sold it. My comment regarding less than standard refers to what was done in the basement to the exterior wall. Terrible workmanship that hurts the home owner.

The cyanide might mix with iron oxide and turn a very deep blue. "Prussian Blue" or ferracyanide. Handling looks scary but once combined onto the surface it's harmless. It's like it turns the rust into paint. Don't take my word for it though. Check this out and see. Thanks. Good good post on rust.

How does a concrete saw like this cost nearly twice as much as an entry-level KIA?

I have the same lift, can you repair it?

I wonder if the guy using the saw was like “darn it, where is that nut for that sawblade?”

Some structural steel contains 2% copper. this steel will rust on the outside surfaces forming an adherent exterior coating that protects the substrate from oxidizing further.

I’ve spent thousands at empire cat for these mechanics to try to figure this out

Just the proof i was looking for. Many thanx!

Are we going to see analysis of the bridge collapse? If so, I'm in!

I am searching the RU-vid videos to see if I can use something other than fiberglass to patch a boat keel on the inside.

Looks like our indoor smooth concrete floor our contractor botched.

Thank you for your integrity about codes and the lack of candor on the part of Paid professional engineers Why buildings collapse champagne towers Miami, Why buildings collapse champagne towers Miami, New Orleans building collapse, Boise hanger collapse couldn't stand up to its own weight by flexing of steel members, The integrity of insurance companies and or mortgage companies looking at these dwellings or buildings, In the proper manner for the protection of the public public safety. Just another word from my atturning who cares moment.

Made it five minutes into his video. Watched all of yours. All of this complicated repair for the simple fact he oversized his holes (most likely the drill wobbled in a circle) and he tried to compensate with epoxy on a wedge anchor that was torques before the epoxy had fully cured. Removing the wedge bolts, redrill to 7/8's (assuming 3/4 bolts) and reinstalling threaded rod to full depth of concrete would been a better repair. Now the void under the slap is a cause for concern, but it's amazing how many slabs (especially garage slabs) have voids underneath them. Nice video.

I am a certified building inspector and reinforcing steel contractor. There appears to be a cover up going on here. No one appears to understand that the reason the building collapsed is there was no positive connection between the columns and the slab at the pool deck. I have built many of these structures and we always have groups of post tensioning cables running over the tops of the columns in both north south and east west directions in the slab. This pool slab had no post tensioning. It is obvious the only positive connection between the columns and the pool slab is the occasional rebar that landed over the tops of the columns when spaced out accordingly per approved plans during pool slab construction. I have been building these since 1978 and have never seen a slab like this with no post tensioning and little to no structural connection from the columns to the slab. I am not an engineer but it is appears to me to be an engineering failure.

Enough of the small talk. Get to the topic.

Technically we could use activator from hs clear coat and have a same product

Thank you. Outstanding video. I am having and issue with one exhaust valve. This gave me some new ideas.

You critic others make a video and didnt say which one you would pick

This video was very helpful to me. Thank you for taking the time to post it 🌞

That is dust in the fan you need to replace the fan very easy done it my self

Super underrated

Most any hydraulic supplier should be able to give you a British to jic or din fitting

If I have Knob and Tube should I remove it and replace with new wiring?

Some clown elsewhere suggested a bicycle pump. Waste of time. When I do get all of mine apart I will put a small block of wood in the bottom of each. Cheers knackers. 🇦🇺👍🍺🍺

Just a word of advice: Use the tension adjustment bolt that is visible between 52-55 seconds in the video instead. Here's a pic: i.imgur.com/APv9rVA.jpg The clearance you need to swap belts is obtained by loosening that bolt and simply sliding the engine forward an inch or so. After one replaces the belts just tighten it up. The bolt will push the engine to the rear as you tighten, taking up the belt slack. When you are dialed in on tension just lock the bolt's position down to the chassis with the forward nut that is there for that purpose. Good luck!

Anyone in nyc hiring

Thanks man! About to do brand new custom hardline. This will help me out tremendously!

So....as an engineer, I stumbled into a concrete guy's page where he basically did this same BS. I am unsure if he made the decisions or just did the work, but I mentioned it was not right and dangerous. He questioned me, I clarified, and never heard from him because he probably feels offended, or in a best case, contacted a real engineer. Then I stumbled into the video you critiqued and THAT is 100% cringe and I notice he has no vids for 2yrs so I wonder if the guy survived! You are correct about the moment forces and overturn issues. People seem obsessed with the "concrete thickness" which is just such a disconnect. The other case, I think they literally cut out the 5" crete and poured pads to 6"!!!! i warned him that the only interaction is those pins in he put in. Concrete is VERY poor in tension. Never do that!

Ty, Prof.

I have a tiny hole in the shower floor… Do I need to use the fiberglass fabric or just the resin and hardener? The hole is less than the size of a pea.

Is knob and tube wiring typically updated as rooms are refurbished?

Foreshadowing - Second room ceiling looks janky.

Nice to see the gas line contributing to the structure also.

Is that partially from a low spot where concrete ran to

Thank You, also thank you for an apples to apples comparison. I imagine your hole prep was per instructions, my question is, did you coat the tapcon and thread it in a "tapcon size" hole, or clearance drill and just push it into the epoxy?

Thx

We use screed chairs and screed rails for our roller screed. Really good screed rail support system

I will do on this content but wanted to troll you in on this design; I'm looking for some good replies to give compliments 2...

have a bolt like this on my oil drain bolt finally somone knows but this method won’t work for me

He ran out of threads

Did you move forward with the insulation? I am located in PA as well. My top floor (attic) is a bedroom is a plaster with knob & tube. 10 degrees difference in this bedroom vs the whole house. I would like to insulate in with probably rolled insulation. Can I bridge the knob and tube like you said with rigid and then put more insulation over top?

I think you made a mistake with the cost. You said $2k per lb and a minimum box is 22 lbs. That would be $44k per box😂. I think you must meen $2k per 22lb box, or about $90 per lb. I think steel rebar costs about $1 per lb.

Great video. It always amazes me that people install these lifts with virtually no idea wtf they are doing. Lifts should not be sold to the general public.

Impatient Just as I thought it, you said it. First thing he did in the video was to cover a lawn mower and motorcycle with broken concrete dust and water. Then he took them outside to clean. I bet , as a child, he used to paint plastic car models before the glue was dry..
