@nathankennedy9367 they are called 3/4-inch drive rivets. Here is an example on Amazon: a.co/d/7u3F7YL You should get 1-inch rivets, though, if your signs will be placed in an area prone to high winds or vibrations.
@travb6926 Thanks for the comment. In my opinion, premixing might have some minor benefits, but with the amount of water that is being sucked in by the pump, all the dry DE will naturally become mixed in the pipe as it travels to the filter. It seems to me to be an unnecessary step.
just fyi it is a code violation to use drywall scews to mount devices. you must use approved screws. most big box hardware stores sell them. they cost more than drywall screws but is still cheap.
@njpyrogirl29 Thank you for this important tip! I've pinned your content to the top of these comments, hoping that many people will see it and NOT do what I did in the video. I'll make sure to purchase and use approved screws from this point forward. 👍
Why 20 amp GFCI's, the previous receptacles were 15 amp? I get that the circuit is probably 20 amp with 12 gauge wires, but 15 amp receptacles are permitted and are just as good.
@surferdude642 Good question. I guess I'm of the opinion that just because something is permissible, it's not always advisable. Due to the filaments in GFCIs being so sensitive, I'd rather have a 20 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit to reduce the possibility of a callback and it's only a few dollars difference in price.
@@fixitfoxinc Generally speaking, your opinion is obviously agreeable. However, all GFCI receptacles are at minimum rated to be residential/commercial spec grade devices and there is no difference internally between 15 or 20 amp GFCI's that are of the same grade and features. Features, meaning TR and/or WR rated for example. The same thing applies to regular receptacles that are not residential grade. Just an FYI.
@surferdude642 hmmm, good to know! Maybe I'll save myself a couple bucks next time and buy a 15 amp GFCI. So, do they just make 20 amp GFCIs to make money off uninformed non-electricians like myself, or are there applications where 20 amp GFCIs are actually recommended?
@@fixitfoxinc The only time a 20 amp receptacle receptacle is required is on a 20 amp individual branch circuit aka a dedicated circuit and then it must be a single receptacle, not a duplex. NEC 210.21(b)(1). You can find more usage of 20 amp duplex receptacles in commercial and industrial applications, it's just common trade practice as they can get them wholesale for a cheap price. 20 amp receptacles are not commonly used in dwelling units unless the homeowner requests it or changes them him or her self. In rental property such as rental homes, apartments, and condos you are better off with 15 amp receptacles because they will not allow a 20 amp plug to be used, in the unlikely event that someone tries to.
@surferdude642 Thank you very much for the education. I recall being told by the electrical guy at Home Depot once that you should always use a 20 amp GFCI on a 20 amp circuit cuz a 15 amp GFCI wasn't going to be strong enough. Guess we both could have used your help! Thanks again!!
@dmech5135 Great idea! You would just have to make sure it was a paintable type of caulk in case the home owner ever wanted to update the exterior paint color.
@theruless4079 Great! I'm glad you found it helpful! Check out my latest video. It's another disposal installation, just a different model: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9jMZzYiYkCs.htmlsi=z3OpW6PJgJmLWTr0
are you kidding me? I learned a ton in this one video! the duct tape hack for moving flooring planks, the wiring tips for the range hood, the vertical blind tricks!
@@Rob-w5m yeah, all those tasks were done in one day, but they were all pretty simple jobs. The hardest part was making sure I purchased all the right supplies at the hardware store prior to arriving on site!
I know! But ya gotta do what the client wants. 😅 This approach is pretty easy, though; it only took 20 minutes - and that included the time it took to film it. Thanks for commenting!
Hack work. No tape Down to protect the door from the saw table. No straight edge for the saw to run along. Didn’t ease the edge of the cut with sand paper. And you never fill nail holes with caulking.
Great job. I sell mouldings and I didn’t know the right application of it until I saw your video. Great job. And thank you for share it. Marco from Brazil
@neilmerlino6475 Every market will generate different prices, but in my market, I currently charge about $950 plus materials to paint the ceiling; sand and paint the crown moulding, window trim, and baseboards; and apply two coats of paint to the walls. Extra charges are also added for patching holes and cracks, applying texture, etc. A smaller room would be less, a larger room would be more.
@neilmerlino6475 Personally, I like using Homax, but I haven't seen a Homax knockdown texture product for sale yet, so I use the Hamilton product when I need to do knockdown texture over a patch. It works OK, but the largest knockdown spots you can make are only about the size of a pea. Too small to match most of the knockdown texture patterns that are found in my area.
Nice video Mr. Fox I wish you good luck in your Youtubing. I would like to offer a suggestion.. When cutting an edge of material always keep the large end of the shoe/plate on the material and the short end on the outside. This will give you better balance for a straight edge and not a possible angle. Also it allows you to put your finger on the short edge and against the material for a consistent straight cut.
I love this suggestion!! Truth be told, I have on occasion found that I've cut off something with an angle, so I'm going to remember this tip. I'll probably give you credit for the idea in a future video!
Thanks a bunch, I'm replacing a garage side door, and need to install flashing tape and moulding, this is really helpful, and your work looks beautiful and high quality.
Glad it helped! I'm not sure why some people backwash either. From what I've been taught, backwashing is really hard on the filter grids, so I just never do it.
Well, it will depend upon the region you're in and how many gaps you have to fill, but I'd count on two days of the going labor rate plus about $350 in materials.
I appreciated the detailed step by step process. In fact I thought i had a Hayward DE4820 then I saw your video and said mine looks like that one. LOL. already ordered the replacement grids from AMZN because when I opened filter today with a friend... saw that several of the plastic grids were broken at the bottom of the filter. Best to you and this channel. Ty for taking the time and identifying the filter model you worked on. It verified everything that I was told to do.
It's different for every pool, but this one needs to be cleaned every six months. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge, when it gets up in the 20 PSI range it's time to clean it.
The most important thing is to show how to put it together. As a pool professional I am. If you wish I can show you. The filter was disassembled inappropriately. AMONG OTHER MISTAKES
