Great video!!! Straight to the point, you explain everything well. think that it is great that you are teaching your daughter. I love it!!!! I will be subscribing.
I love that you are teaching your girl how to do stuff. At her age, I was always helping my dad and now, I can do a lot of my own basic carpentry and DIY around my house! Good on you!
My Mother-in-law is just flat dangerous. Seriously. Maybe her dad didn't teach her. I taught my wife "don't be your mom". My jobs are house, outside and cars. She cooks and cleans. Sometimes I do clothes (usually just my own). To be fair my father-in-law's dad was an alcoholic and wasn't around so he never got taught and my MiL was kinda the house repair person but ...just....wow.
Yes! You used glue on a joint! I'm all about glue of some sorts on joints. I say that wherever one piece of wood meets another piece of wood, there should be glue, generally-speaking.
Amazing work! hey, this is from Family Handyman we are interested in your video and want to partner with you. Please contact us back so we can discuss more. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. My husband and I need to redo ours because it still the same baseboards from the builders when we got our house built. New subscriber I started following you because of your cute daughter. She is your #1 fan.
Wrong. Lesser angles will yield less surface area. The longer the cut (higher the angle) the more surface area you have. Think of a rafter end for instance, if you have a 14 degree 3/12 pitch, your board will be roughly a 1/4" longer than it's nominal width on the angle. Change that to a 42 degree or 9/12 and you've tripled that area.
Really enjoying your videos. One thing to consider if you’re planning to give this a real shot, aim for 10+ minutes, will improve your monetization when you get sufficient traffic.
What happens if installer.. Cut the baseboards straight up and down instead of a 45 degree angle.. These are two pieces of baseboard he put together. How can I fix this myself?
Tha ka for the video. Def. Picked up a couple of tips!! But would it not be easier to cut everything to fit then paint then do touch ups after installed? Should minimize clean up and spills/drips onto the floor.
I’ve used wood filler over polyurethane board joints, sanded them and then painted with acrylic paint. Worked perfectly well. Just make sure your joints are glued with an adhesive that works with polyurethane
I needing to install base boards to my addition. I notice you used 1x4 MDF material. There is the yellow pine 1x4 also available at the big box store. Is there any reason for your preference? Pros and cons in your opinion. I know MDF is a bit cheaper at least in my area. Thanks for the video well done.
Not necessary to have to hit the studs with nails as long as your caulking all along the baseboard. And yes, it’s good to use some wood filler on the joint and sand it smooth when dried
Can your mitre saw do bevel cuts? (Does it tilt to a 45 degree angle). You could just lay the baseboard flat and cut it that way. If not, you could rent a bevel mitre saw from Home Depot for a day!
Thank you for the video. I noticed your wall and floor is perfectly even. What happens when the walls are wavy? Also, you nailed several nails into the drywall without checking for studs. Isit ok to nail into the drywall ? Thanks again
My walls are actually wavy, which is why I nail into the drywall instead of studs. When you place your base board against the wall, nail it only in the places where it touches the wall. Leave the gaps from the uneven wall and then fill in along the top with caulking. This gives the illusion of a straight wall
@@thinkreno Thank you, it makes sense. I was trying to force the baseboard into the wall, it didn't. I tried instant glue, that also failed. I didn't know you could nail the baseboard to the drywall- I though you only nail where there was a stud. My wall are wavy. When I made the angle cuts- they were perfect, but as I push the rest of the baseboard into the wall, some of the joints open up. So many variables to installing baseboard. I appreciate your videos.
You can pre-paint, but you’ll have to paint again once you fill in the nail holes and caulk along the top. If you don’t paint over caulking, it will yellow in time..
