"This is a 5" not a 4" made me feel so much better about the countless times I have done similar things.... back to to the store.

@ChrisRI1000 Год назад

I had a modular home delivered and attached to the foundation, after that point it was all my own work. I did electrical, plumbing, installed a combi boiler, water softening system, installed gas lines, etc. Here's the best part...I did all the work using RU-vid videos like yours. If one can learn by watching examples of the work and then apply them then RU-vid becomes a very powerful source and saves lots of money. Your videos are one of the best sources although I research many others too. BTW, I took the shortcut on this particular work and just added a wall mounted filter instead. Short pipe = good airflow and it's easier to clean the pipe out later.

@killerpixel2k3 Год назад

Great video as always. I also wanted to say thank you for your plumbing videos with pex. I have a drop ceiling in the basement and all the plumbing is in there. One day I noticed the ceiling tile was dripping (and the guest bed & rug were soaked). Turns out there was a copper 90 degree turn right above that tile. Thanks to your pex videos I just grabbed a couple fittings, cut the copper pipe about 5 inches from each side of the corner and had it all fixed in 10 minutes. Had I not known about pex this would have been a nightmare. So thank you Jeff!

@thenewwayhome Год назад

@stephangoritschnig4913 Год назад

The seams and joints on the snap lock and elbows should be sealed with foil face tape ( silver tape). As screws are not recommended. Note duct tape is ok for other things but not on any HVAC duct.

@RJFerret Год назад

@@joseph7105 A dried IS a heater, it just blows the heat through tumbling clothes before venting, and as they pointed out, duck tape/duct tape won't hold up, but dry out and fail, need foil tape.

@stephangoritschnig4913 Год назад

@@joseph7105 the main reason you use foil tape is to keep the pipe and elbows together screws will grab hold of any lint. The secondary reason is to keep fine lint from escaping.

@SophiaAphrodite Год назад

@@RJFerret Although no duct tape is a smart move the purpose of foil tape is to keep it as efficient as possible and a dryer vent is NOT HVAC. A dryer vent does not need such efficiency. It merely is meant to direct air. That being said the risk of moisture from leaks is a real problem too. That air is not dry by any means.

Between things not being available or being priced really high since COVID, I've got multiple projects on hold and a couple sitting half done. :-/

This issue I have is all the vents ducts seem standard 11.5 inches. Which in my house is an 1.5in short. Which causes issues with proper fitting. The previous owner didn't have it properly fitted so now there's mold and lint in the wall and I can't find any ducts longer the 11.5in in my small town.

@sheepdog3233 Год назад

Should you use HVAC tape around where the pipes connect? I am doing this project now and i think the tape was only $14 dollar's at Lowes.

@benjaminbills1998 Год назад

cool video, just a few pointers, if you use a hammer drill and a 4,1/16" bit to drill through the brick you'll make a much cleaner cut or trace the pipe outside and drill through piece by piece with a 5/16th masonry bit making a circle. when sliding in the first part assemble straight pieces with tape only and feed in the required length, then you do not need to cut obstructions in the joist, finally, if the wall is not load bearing you can go through the top plate of the wall, consult an engineer in regards to load bearing walls.

I am in Wisconsin and trying to find a countertop place/guy who will work with me on doing a kitchen in 3 phases with quartz. They all want to install the whole thing at once. I want them to install it in three trips (which I am willing to pay for). This allows me to do my kitchen in sections and keep parts usable while I work on the rest. It also will be easier on the budget even with the three trips. Everyone seems to have minimums or some other issue with doing this. If I am going to pay you to come out three times, why do you care?

Hi Jeff, PEI Canada, send plumber, provided they have their own rubber boots I'll take em :-) Should have been a plumber instead of electrical as my school trade. Million sparkies knocking about all installing solar panels, heat pumps and fire alarm systems. Think we only have 3 plumbers in the entire Province and all working on Government contracts. Annoying thing, no Home owner permit for plumbing where I live, which is a shame as modern plumbing is not that hard. Heck you only need to solder 3 connections these days (hot & cold on your water heater and the supply line conversion to PEX). Not nearly as complicated as rebuilding the floor system after they have gone.

I have been looking for a structural engineer to come and inspect my recently purchased 1883 home to also draw up plans for my sunken load bearing wall. In my city ( 2nd largest in Iowa) Not a single engineer is doing residential because they are making too much money in commercial. So I called out of town. I reach a place not far from my small town the house is in, they sent me an even closer small town guy info. That guy wants $1000 to show up and $2000 to draw up plans. Way higher than expected. The other place lost an engineer and can't do anything for 6 months. So I have a house I can't really renovate until I can repair the load bearing wall and tuck and point the limestone basement and mitigate the water coming in to avoid ruining any future work if other issues arise. The basement is so full of mold and moisture the whole house stinks so it is not like I can live there and renovate yet either. Not to mention I will have to uninstall the furnace just to level the walls as well. I could well go ahead and do the leveling myself and just over engineer it but what if it does not pass inspection? I risk ruining any drywall work. My options are to raise the wall, repair the basement rough in all the new work ( HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Which I have another question in the comments about).

I have been an electrician since the mid 80's. There is one thing this guy is not doing or telling you to do. it is the most important part of the job. WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES. You can get cheap ones or expensive ones. They are much much cheaper than the hospital bill and a lot less painful.

Not a true professional but your trying

You gotta be able to do everything yourself buuuuuut… regulations forbid you to do much without say so, so you’re either waiting on “professionals” anyway or you’re paying someone a cut to literally do nothing but “allow” you to change your own house.

If you live in a place where you can't do your own work simply move. Cheers!

I thought it wasn't a good idea to run a dryer vent upwards due to possible lint not exhausting out and falling back down and remaining in the vertical pipe?

most dryer's are in the basement in northern climates. I think you are worried about the wrong things. Cheers It is the length of the run no the climb.
