How to Replace Gable End Wall
Переглядів 36 тис.8 років тому
The look of the new gable end wall is a big improvement to the outside of the house. A relatively easy job and well worth the effort. We install fiberboard panels in the gable openings. The finish we are using is a 2 part stain. It will give the gray fiberboard a long lasting cedar look finish. The process is simple and the stain drys quite quickly.
Energy Saving Tips
Переглядів 2,3 тис.8 років тому
Today we carry out a review of energy saving measures to check if we have missed anything. In looking at our use of solar heated water we discovery that the washing machine and dishwasher are not set up correctly. They are both connected to the cold water cycle so they use electric elements to heat the water. So we reconnect to the hot water side so we can take advantage of our free hot water f...
How to Make a Solarium Hydroponic Garden
Переглядів 3,1 тис.8 років тому
This simple solar powered hydroponic garden really turned out to be a winner. In a little over 3 square yards I grew all the green vegetables that I could eat over summer. The solar powered pump circulates the water during the day supplying fresh water and nutrient to the plants roots. The water comes from our rainwater tank in the solarium. The system is inexpensive and the returns are great. ...
Solar Hot Water Heater System
Переглядів 3,9 тис.8 років тому
Solar hot water is an obvious inclusion in our sustainable renovation. We install a 250 litre storage system on the garage roof next to our photovoltaic panels. The system is gas boosted to ensure that even on cold winter days we will have piping hot water 24/7. The system will further reduce electricity consumption in the house and save hundreds of dollars per year. nutsandboltsdiy.com/solar-h...
How to Reduce Water Flow from Taps
Переглядів 118 тис.9 років тому
Saving water by installing flow reduction washers to all faucets in the house we save water and, in the case of hot water we also save energy. Flow reduction washers are available in hardware stores and come in a range of sizes to suit your needs. They are a simple way of saving money.
Heat Activated Roof Ventilation
Переглядів 24 тис.9 років тому
Roof ventilation reduces unwanted heat build up as it lets the hot air vent through the roof. We add a simple heat activated vent to our roof which works by opening up automatically when the temperature reaches 27 degrees C or 80F. It is a simple automated way to keep cool and save money. nutsandboltsdiy.com/roof-ventilation/
How to Install a Rainwater Tank

By Installing rainwater tanks we can save thousands of gallons of water per year. There are a few simple ways to make the process work more efficiently and minimise maintenance on the system. Primary filters are really important. They help to keep leaf litter out of the water. Also gutters should be cleaned well. Gutter guard is another good way to keep leaves out of the tanks.
How to Manage Your Windows in Summer
Переглядів 6 тис.9 років тому
In summer we keep blinds closed during the day and open windows at night to allow cooler air into the house. In winter we let warmth from the sun help heat the house during the day and close windows and blinds at night to keep the heat in. nutsandboltsdiy.com/energy-efficient-daily-routine/
Energy Efficient Window Treatments
Переглядів 6 тис.9 років тому
In our segment on window treatments we look at ways to control heat gain and loss through windows. We use sun control film on the upper windows. Also close fitting insulated blinds Block out blinds on the western face of the upper floor. We also use removable shade sails so we can put them up in summer and remove them in winter when we want the sun to warm the area. This is part of our orientat...
Installing Solar Panels on a Garage
Переглядів 9 тис.9 років тому
We install a 1.2kw solar panel array on the roof of the garage. They will produce around 8 kwhs of electricity per day on average. The aim is to increase the energy efficiency of the house so that we use less electricity that the solar panels produce. The power from the panels is put through an inverter and put back into the grid. We we connect it it makes the electricity meter turn in reverse ...
How to Make Your Fridge More Efficient
Переглядів 8 тис.9 років тому
One of the biggest users of electricity in the home is the refrigerator. An empty or part empty fridge is less efficient because there is more air in it. So when you open the door the cool air falls out onto the floor and is replaced by warm air from above. So the less air you have in the fridge the more air there is to re-cool after the door is closed. So if you have a large fridge with not mu...

This small scale wind turbine can produce up to 15kwh per day in the right conditions. It is quiet small and it's modern design looks great on the front of the house. It is a simple installation process and takes around 4 hours to complete. nutsandboltsdiy.com/residential-wind-turbines/
Comparing Low Pressure Shower Heads
Переглядів 10 тис.9 років тому
We road test low flow shower heads to find out which one gives the best flow and is the most economical to operate. There is quite a difference between the designs we test. Getting it right is important. A good low flow shower head can save you water and also reduce hot water bills saving you money all year round.
A Solarium Can Heat your Home

We create a sun room in the small rear courtyard in the home. We incorporate vents in the north end to encourage warm air to flow through the solarium and into the house. nutsandboltsdiy.com/heating-home-sun-room/ This form of passive heating works extremely well in heating the house through the sun for free. In winter we cover the clear polycarbonate sheeting with shade cloth to keep out unwan...

Yeh😂 ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL😂
Never seen anyone install drywall from the bottom up
Hi, what kind of nails are you using?
Ok to answer a load of questions, the concrete floor needs sealing with a primer, in the UK all concrete floors are insulated underneath the concrete slab. The primer acts as a sealer to stop moisture, the glue is also waterproof, the glue is also flexible, to allow for expansion off the wood throughout the seasonal temperatures and moisture. Always leave a expansion cap around the room edges, NEVER nail like these guys did, your stopping the floor from moving, it will fail and crack, and boards will come apart creating gaps along the joints. Hope this helps a few people.
Ok lol what about expansion of the wood nailing will not help!!
May you please make another model like this but a little different
No tar paper or water barrier behind the wood?? We have hurricanes where. I live. I think the house would be flooded after a major wind and rain storm, no?😢
I heard the English accents started out with some English humor and I subscribed straightaway
Can you even tell me what the differences between RC-2 and “metal furring channel“? I bought some of both, and the furring channel seems heavier duty, even though they are both 25 gauge.
Do you have a video on using that wood effects paint?
Wootah
This actually gave me an idea to fix my Estilo kitche tap in Australia. It was low pressured. I removed the bottom filter and cleaned the blocking elements. Just saved me $300 !
*Pure nonsense! All practical tests show that small wind turbines hardly generate any electricity! And only at very high costs!* Because there is hardly any wind close to the ground. It is also extremely gusty, which usually shortens the service life. Only if you need to be self-sufficient from the power grid, you should install the largest possible wind turbine on a high tower for the winter. *With solar panels, on the other hand, you can reliably generate green electricity for 25 years at approx. 3-10 cent/kWh!*
“Logic will guide you,” perhaps difficult suggestion for modern times.
Where is the supply list?
Why not just screw it onto the wood.. why use those top hat channels?
Another way to save water is to demonstrate this using 1l instead of 9
What adhesive is being use
i wanna make this for my gf but the site is down
Thank you 3x best video on making roman blinds.
Not really surprised the manufacturers would recommend, that you pay them to do it...
Nice to see Liberace up and around.
You have to tape the hardwood to keep it tight... Then remove the tape 24 hours later.
abbott and castello?
Great!
IS this a joke. Surely two comedians.
1:20 mdf predrill grip instead into end pieces, using screws that do their own bite as drilled in.
This seller ships this item very carefully to ensure that your room divider ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxWv_wTHyTRVm0QkcOw1Rz2-5g_gDoRTkU is not damaged in transit. They even place stickers saying glass, handle with care. I originally bought a 4 panel room divider, but after receiving it I knew I needed larger for the area I was trying to hide. I wanted a 6 panel, but it was not offered in the Espresso color that I wanted, so I went with 5 panels. This is serving my purpose very well on hiding my dog's pee pads. I ended up using the 4 panel one in a corner behind my Christmas tree. The best thing is you do not have to put anything together, you just take it carefully out of the box and place it where you want it. It can be moved around very easily. Plus, these dividers start at the floor, so nothing is seen moving around on the other side like some other dividers I looked into. Now that I have a 4 and 5 panel one, I am sure that I can get them to overlap and work other ways should I need to in the future.
Thanks, straight to the point no ABS.
Soon as he marked that jamb I knew he didn’t know enough for me to benefit. Good luck…
what about in humid climates?? It seems to me that while the air cools...it gets a lot more humid later at night. I live in an apartment building and am getting in arguments with other tenants over our stairwell windows. I want them closed when outside dew point is higher than inside...these morons I live with think that all air is fresh air...no matter temp or humidity. I can't believe I have to deal with this nonsense.
I bought a temp gun for $20 and used that to help with metrics. Humidity though, frick idk, there should be a study on this, we want to know!
Put tape on backwards
Thank you so much ❤
what is the yellow glue?
What brand of jacks are those?
Loved your TV show..very informative.. Thankyou.. Perth WA.
These fabric pelmets look like headboards. I scant see why anyone would want one. A pristine white/other colour painted pelmet looks better imho. But each to their own I guess. Also I don’t see the need for the thickness of the mdf used here. It’s a very heavy material and a lesser thickness would’ve done the job. Also, to anyone interested in making one - if it’s to cover a curtain rail, don’t forget to allow extra depth/height etc. And why not show how to attach it to the wall? That’s more challenging for most people than building the box.
I'd probably use (full) 5L water containers from Bunnings. That way, you'd always have cold water in the house, and if you have a powercut, you have the the thermal mass to help maintain the temp for longer. An alternative for this (if you drink, or have guests that do) would be beer.
How did you attach this to the wall?
Great channel
It's too loud
All I want to know is how is how to remove a principal kitchen draw
The maglev vertical ones are better they vibrate instead of spinning better for nature

Thank you. This is the ONLY video where crimping was done. the other videos, every one I saw, screwed the studs, which as we know, kicks-out the sheet rock where the screws are. Nice work.
I fitted a whole loft cieling on my own using my head and a 3x2 T shaped prop. Simply push the border up supporting g the center. Hold it with your head have the prop near by leaning on a ladder etc then reach for it and jam it underneath. If it's just a bit longer than the height of the ceiling it will jam and hold the board. Then you can relax and get a few screws in. Not easy but there is a way

You guys have done this before, haven't you?
Is there a particular type of paint you’re using to create this weight affect?
