@berniecruz8405 3 года назад

If you found rocks and debris in your water heater then that's a sign you need to get a whole house water filtration system put in. Plus, with a filtration system, your skin and hair will start feeling better and you won't have to use moisturizer so much anymore to keep your skin from becoming ashy. So when you take the time to replace your water heater, you should factor in the added cost for a water filtration system with it. Also this filtration system will prevent what you're experiencing now with your water heater. And I'd recommend you also include a UV light filter with your water filtration system to kill off viruses and bacteria in your water, as well.

It’s against code to have that (or anything) under the water heater (fire hazard). When I had my new water heater put in, I asked the guys to call me so I could lay down drycore subfloor under before they put in the new heater, and they told me it was against code. So :/ Hopefully yours doesn’t cause you problems. (Plus mine was gas, not sure if same applies to electric if your is electric)

@doublej5171 3 года назад

You should’ve changed out that plastic boiler drain on the water heater with a brass nipple and a female threaded ball valve with a brass male iron pipe (MIP) threaded x garden hose threaded adapter out the end so next time you have to drain it you have a full 3/4” opening for the water to drain out instead of a small 1/4” opening for the sediment in the water heater tank to clog up as it’s draining. Just turn the water off and leave the T&P valve closed and all faucets turned off to create and air lock and when you remove the plastic boiler drain very little water will come out and you can have your new valve already made up to go in. Little trick is to turn the new ball valve off and remove the handle so it doesn’t get in the way as you’re installing it. You can replace the handle once it is fully installed into the tank. This will make it where your water heater can be flushed easily yearly you prolong the life of it and be drained quickly if needed.

As a person who installed floor there is an easier way to cut the tile along the wall, especially since there's no direction of the tile. Simply flip it over on it's back, push up to the wall, then the other end overlays the tile already on the floor. Mark on both ends (right and left edges), draw a line, cut. Flip back over and install. But both work, one is just faster.

Looks great! To anyone reading, as a quicker way to measure the outer tiles to the wall, you can flip them upside down (flip towards you, not sideways), push up to the wall, and then mark where they overlap the other tiles. Then when flipped back over, they'll fit perfectly. Similar method used to measure laminate flooring edges! Try it! 😁👍

They would need to mark where the tile overlaps the inside edge of the interlocking lugs. Tbh it is probably easier just measuring.

I installed carpet for nearly 30 years. It was fun watching someone else do a floor for a change. Nice work. Pro tip- when you are sizing your edge pieces you can just flip them (end over end, not side to side), put them against the wall and mark them with your utility knife adjacent to the same spot you measured from, on the inside of the squiggly bit. No need for the tape measure or pen/marker. It just goes a bit quicker if you fiddle with less tools.

When you drain a water heater you need to introduce air. Open the relief valve or disconnect hot or cold.

@jeremycarr2712 3 года назад

I was getting ready to post the same thing, but an even simpler solution is to just open up any faucet in your home. If you are able to isolate and cut the water off right at the heater supply side itself then you have to open your faucet to the full hot position. If you cut the water off at the main valve to the house then hot or cold, doesnt matter. The white calcium chunks are completely normal. They build up as a result of hardwater/sediment. Flushing your tank once a year is recommended to give your tank as long of a life as possible.

Hi The fibres in the floor when you inspected it, were put in at installation. It's a well known trick, to increase the hardness of the concrete. I put GRP in some rendering for a Koi pond filter twenty years ago, and it's still standing. In fact I tried to demolish it, and a sledge hammer just bounced off it, with absolutely no impact. Also, years ago, they put horse hair in plaster, in fact in some lime renders, they still do. So that's the reason you found them.

@davidclemens1578 2 года назад

The fibers are probably from what is called fiber mesh which was used in place of wire mesh for reinforcement. It is mixed in with the concrete. I had an option to use that in my garage. Which was built in the early 90s

@bittnerbs 2 года назад

@@davidclemens1578 you are 100% correct, sir. Fiber mesh concrete alleviates you from having to use rebar or wire mesh for reinforcing. I was wondering if anyone picked that detail up.

@rodconstable2095 2 года назад

Fibre mesh is chopped fibregalss fibres mixed in the concrete at the premix plant; do not try to mix on your own. fibre mesh does not incease hardness but increases flexural strength and controls cracking.

It's not a trick.its engineering.

I did this with my garage in about 2003. Worked great, looked great, easier on the knees. However, after a couple Colorado winters dragging in ice snow and crud, they looked shabby. Very difficult to clean thoroughly. After a few more years, I took ‘em out. Not the tiles fault… it was the winter climate.

Try epoxy floor?

@Melinda8162 2 года назад

@@WizardFIN Ya, that’s probably the only way….I have the same problem. Regular paint won’t last. I thought epoxy is quite expensive but, sure would be nice. Probably last a good long time! Then I have to pay someone to do it.

Thank you for showing the whole process, start to finish. I really like the transformation. Did you consider any other floor tiles before deciding on the ones you used? What a transformation!

@richmac918 2 года назад

That fiber you see sticking out of the floor was added to the concrete when it was poured to add strength and reduce cracking. I've poured concrete slabs with nothing, with fiber added to the concrete and concrete with mesh or rebar. The last one is the strongest however just adding fiber to the concrete was far superior to just plain concrete. I'd recommend adding to any garage floor

@rickb4806 2 года назад

Yes, fiberglass fibres for strength.

@terryerickson4786 2 года назад

They just suck to lay on when working on vehicles. plus they seem to create their own dust. A friend of mine rented a space with fiberglass added to the concrete and he ended up moving to a different building because you could not stand to lay on the floor and work.

@richmac918 2 года назад

@@terryerickson4786 Never thought of that but I'll bet it would suck if you tend to work in shorts or T-shirts and lie directly on the floor. I'm almost always on a creeper so I've never had the issue

@andrewmitchell9621 Год назад

I add fiber to all of my concrete even when I use rebar because it is cheap and helps prevent microfractures.

@richmac918 Год назад

@@andrewmitchell9621 That's not a bad idea. I'll be honest, I wouldn't have thought to do that but you are right, it is cheap and it certainly does hold the crete together. I'll keep this in mind on my next pour.

Great Video!!! I have the same issue with my garage. I have all the walls finished and painted…but the floor is an eyesore!!! I saw these Husky tiles at the home improvement store, which changed my mind on doing an epoxy floor. Your video confirmed my decision. It’s nice to see someone take pride in their garage as I also do. Beautiful job!!! Kudos to you!!!
