This is awesome. Our house was built in the 30's and we keep running into weird problems. This is very helpful. And now you smell like a baby. Adorable.
you probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months :)
Very well done!! Electricians love to overcomplicate things we do occasionally, but you kept it short sweet, and simple! Thanks for including/acknowledging the other tools/methods of cutting plaster ceilings
2:00 *The baby/foot powder trick is LEGIT, I learned that 20 years ago when I insulated my parents attic. Also, wear/have a long sleeve work out shirt (no cotton) I keep a travel bottle in my EDC.*
This was very well done, and very informative, nice clean work thank you for sharing. I'd be interested in knowing how you tied in that piece of romex into the old knob and tube electrical system. LOL😄
Try using a carbide blade to get through plaster then switch to wood blade hole saw. Another tip is take a basketball and cut in half. Drill hole in center and use it as a dust shield.
I’ll be trying this soon. I live in the south, no plaster but have 3/4 inch plywood above the Sheetrock. Have about 50, 4 inch lights to put in and I know a hole saw will burn up to quickly from experience.
Not as helpful for cutting circular holes but the best tool I’ve found for cutting large sections out is an angle grinder with a diamond blade. We do a lot of HVAC cut-ins in old homes with no central heating and air. I can cut large 20x30” holes in about 3 minutes without burning through $30 worth of multi tool blades and no blow outs from a recip saw. Strongly recommend it for larger cuts that are square or rectangular.
A 4-1/8" hole saw run backwards will take care of the plaster (or a Diamond tip Hole-saw) then run it forwards for the lathe, go get yourself a Rack A Tiers Dust bowl and your be making clean cut and dust free holes where ever you need one!!
I would like to ask have you had any trouble with the bots oscillating on the initial plunge? I just bought a rotozip tool from harbor freight. The first 1/8 tile bit snapped off right from the start. I bought a 5/32 tile bit and it did better but it still wants to isolate some. I tried to plunge slowly and straight in. Any tips will help. The wall is a gypsum lathe with 2 coat plaster.
I'm wondering if its the bits.. are they cheap one?? Some plaster can be extremely hard, so I'll sometimes use a drill bit/drill to start the hole and then switch to the rotozip.
Hi Matt, I don't know hot to private message you, would you be able to do a video on how to get in to controls and what courses to take in order to learn. Also quick question: as a foreman for a control company. does the foreman buy all the control devices (inputs/outputs) or does the plc guys provide the material for us to install ?
sorry, missed this reply.. The job really depends on the contract and specifications.. The person buying the control devices should be spelled out beforehand.
