So nice to see this show again. Brings back memories. Very funny all the comments about how they need to use deck screws, or air nailers and cordless drills... Thank you home time for inspiring the DIY craze that came 10 years after your show.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ru-vid.comUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seems to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
@@rromero1318 : 50’s or 60’s ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 your off on your times bud. More like mid 80’s to mid 90’s. Did that red truck look like it’s a 58? Or a early 90s?
I wonder how many people used this as a reference on building there fence. If you did im sorry, this was cringe worthy in today's standards. The way he was throwing those post hole diggers was hilarious, if you live in the rocky areas ro places with clay and you value your elbows, knees, arms, ribs and chest dont use anything over an 8 inch bit, 6 inches is acceptable for 4x4s. If your going to rent a machine get a little beaver, its a one man machine and the torque bar keeps the head from twisting and destroying your limbs. Average height is 24 inches, can be the same with gate posts, trust me ive built more of them than these guys. You also dont need to mix the (quikcrete) concrete in moist or humid areas, there is so much moisture in the ground it will harden the concrete, if you dont believe me go bury 20lbs of concrete a couple inches of the ground and come back in 4 or 5 days, it will be rock solid. dont waste your time setting up stakes, set the corner posts 6 inches within the property line then pull the string line around the outside (or inside if it has less obstructions). Pull a tape measure below the string (string should be atleast 2 feet off the ground) at 93 inches and kick a mark in the dirt/grass and move the tape down 93 inches, you will be able to see the kick mark. I didn't finish the video it hurt my soul to much. Good luck guys, i got triggered :P
Man, I remember watching this as a kid. I’m 43 now and I’m a builder. I enjoyed watching the home improvements shows on pbs when I was a kid. Now we have cordless nailers
He said he needed a 42 inch deep hole for the post yet he did his first measurement at less than a foot.... you think if he was that experienced he would have certainly known that was nowhere near 42 inches.
I have to watch again cause the first time all I could do was watch her, shes a beauty. Wish my wife was handy. ha ha. I love the old 80's how to videos!!!+++
I'm planning on doing a horizontal fence and our yard is sloped; I really appreciate this video and while I've never built a fence before, I feel much more confident after viewing your video and others. By far, this is the best I've seen and I plan to post pics of our fence once done. Thanks for the share!
I have seen hundred of videos for fencing, and you are the best as you gave many new guidelines..but unfortunate, my partner is not so cooperative..she does not lift even four litres of milk jar from basement fridge to upstairs. I hope in my next life will ask first question befor marrying her that will you give me hand, when I will be fixing fence or other physical jobs....if get yes, I will select her and then I will fix like yours....thanks
Vid just cuts off mid flow or perhaps they died of old age before finishing it 💀💀💀💀💀. If I'd ever made a fence with hubby, 80% of the audio would be bleeped out 😂😂😂
That thing would withstand a 300mph wind. Enough lumber there to build 2 fences. Even with the price of lumber 8 years ago it seems a complete waste to me but it is a fine looking fence.
Ive found for these applications it doesnt matter. When it comes to normal 4x4 fence posts you can just stick the post in the hole, fill it 1/3rd with water, then dump half a bag (25-30lbs worth) of concrete in the hole and mix with a pole or rod. Everything in this video is done to the extreme, this fence design is expensive. Hardly anyone uses 4x6 posts
Might be easier to set your posts on either end, nail ang pull a string from one to the other, and mark 94" sections down the line making sure the posts are plumb as they meet the line. Alot quicker than hammering stakes and all that, but this video is ollldddddd
DAFAQ? 4-5 bags per hole? Using 4x4s you only need to dig at least 2 feet down, then you will only need to use one bag of concrete at the most. All of this is overkill, and not necessary if you are DIY.
I mean... I always prefer torx screws (or even mudda fudgin ringshank nailgun) to ANY hand nailing on a FENCE... But damn!!!! With post that deep and meticulously set... wtf could go wrong!?! As a New Orleanian, and Louisiana native I wish EVERY fence hand been built with 25% of this effort. I hate rebuilding fences, they're all fucked down here, and no one wants to pay for skilled labor on a fence.....hahaha
Wow! How much wood did they use. Are they building a fence or something to climb and sit on. Very expensive fence. This should be called 'How to build a wood privacy fence on slope....the hardest and most expensive way'.
This is a PBS series called Hometime which ran from 1986 to 2016. The host is Dean Johnson and the female co host is Joanne Liebeler. She co hosted from 1987 to 1992 so it could be either way 80s or 90s. I grew up in the 80s and from the looks of this I'd say this is early 90s instead of 80s.
dont forget to drink plenty of ginseng before you use the auger. Some african wet the under ground length with motor oil and stick it in a plastic bag to prevent the wood from soaking water and rooting . el cheapo would use bread plastic bag and wood preservative
