Can You Refinish Plywood Flooring? I Build It Home 2019-03-15 | A few obvious things: Yes, I make mistakes once in a while. Everyone does, especially if you try new things. Sanding an entire floor with this type of sander would take a while - roughly 3 hours for a 100 square foot room - but that's not a whole lot more than one of those big pad sanders that you can rent. Consider the time it takes to go get that sander and bring it back after you are finished.Also, I'm not going to do this, it was just a test. Even with the old finish sanded off, I still don't really like how it looks after the poly is brushed on - too raw looking, maybe. Stay tuned to see what I will do to fix these floors and give me the results I'm looking for.Here are some ways that you can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale:ibuildit.ca/plansPatreon: patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h#ibuildit#plywoodflooring#homeimprovementWebsite: ibuildit.caFacebook: facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caGoogle+: plus.google.com/u/0/b

Making Drawers For Bottles And Cans - Space for 108 I Build It Home 2018-08-18 | I figured the cabinet beside the fridge would be a great place to keep the bottles and cans I use. There is space for a total of 108, 36 in each drawer.Before you start lecturing me on using bottled water, consider that my water supply here (a drilled well) doesn't provide good quality water. It's drinkable, but tastes terrible and the filter systems I've tried (and spent a lot of money on) don't improve it. Not that I should have to justify myself to anyone, but being a rude, judgemental hypocrite seems to be all the rage these days.

Making Cabinet Doors - Spray Finishing, Putting Them On and Fixing Problems I Build It Home 2018-08-15 | It took most of a full day and nearly 2 liters of water based poly to finish the doors with three coats front and back. I sanded between coats, 220 grit between the first and second, and 400 between the second and third. The hinge fix at the end may seem like butchery to the inexperienced idealists watching, but it's an example of a very common way to deal with a problem. The purest burns up a day resizing the door and refinishing it, while the realist spends 20 minutes mortising in two hinges. And, unless you know what to look for, it's a fix that will never been seen by the casual observer.Here are some ways that you can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale:ibuildit.ca/plansPatreon: patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h#ibuilditWebsite: ibuildit.caFacebook: facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caGoogle+: plus.google.com/u/0/b

Installing A Shower Door I Build It Home 2018-03-20 | Installing a swinging shower door using some unconventional methods. The make and model of the door is not important, since this video is more about the procedure than specific details related to the product itself.The kit came with stainless steel mounting screws for the hinge side frame, but they were too short to reach the framing inside the wall. I bought longer ones to replace the two at the top of the frame to anchor it better, since that carries the bulk of the weight of the door.

Optimise The Space Under The Kitchen Sink With GIANT Drawers I Build It Home 2018-02-04 | I decided the best way to use the area beneath the sink in my kitchen was to make two large drawers. The lower one is deep enough to store spray bottles and cleanser bottle upright, along with paper towel rolls. The upper drawer is around 9" deep and will hold a variety of items. This is a great way to efficiently utilize a cabinet that is traditionally a catch-all for seldom used items and often poorly organized.Video on fixing the drawer alignment:youtu.be/mrtmtqeRNTMPS: Notice the continuity?Here are some ways that you can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale:ibuildit.ca/plansPatreon: patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=hWebsite: ibuildit.caFacebook: facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caGoogle+: plus.google.com/u/0/b
How To Paint A Panel Door I Build It Home 2018-02-01 | This is the method I use and recommend for painting panel doors. Basically the key point is to try to always follow the grain direction of the wood, even if the grain is stamped into masonite. And do areas in a logical order: trim, panels, rails, stiles, edges, top and bottom. Once you've started painting an area, move quickly to finish it to avoid smears and lap marks where the paint partially dried.Here are some ways that you can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale:ibuildit.ca/plansPatreon: patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=hWebsite: ibuildit.caFacebook: facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caGoogle+: plus.google.com/u/0/b

Installing A Towel Ring On Drywall I Build It Home 2018-01-18 | I recorded this more than 2 months ago and forgot about it, so here it is now :)Best method to install any kind of accessory like this is to either attach directly to a stud, or have solid blocking behind the drywall to screw it onto.

Pebble Tile Shower Floor - Some Tips And Tricks I Learned I Build It Home 2017-08-19 | First really good tip is to lay out the floor of the shower on a piece of plywood or OSB so that you can cut the tiles to fit in that space. That way, you can get all of the tiles cut and ready to lay before you mix any mortar.The next is to not go heavy when spreading the thinset, since it will easily fill the gaps between the tiles and make it difficult to clean. If using regular sanded grout to grout the tiles, you could use that to set them as well, or possibly a premixed tile glue. If I did it again, I would just put a small dab of polyurethane construction adhesive on the back of each stone to cement it in place, then rely on the grout for the real holding power.I used epoxy grout and I like using this much better than regular grout. It's super strong, never needs sealing, never discolors and is easy to apply. For a floor this size (52" x 31") it did take more grout than I expected, so that's something else to look out for.Here are some ways that you can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale: http://www.ibuildit.ca/plans.htmlPatreon: patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=hWebsite: http://www.ibuildit.caFacebook: facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caGoogle+: plus.google.com/u/0/b/107142665853474113931

Plywood Floor Durability - Scratch And Dent Test I Build It Home 2017-02-18 | A bit of a reality check on how the plywood floor holds up to scratches and dents when compared to other options. All real wood will scratch and dent and as shown in this video, and there really isn't that much of a difference between the plywood I used, and two of the more popular solid wood choices (oak and maple).The measurement for the dents were in thousandths of an inch.Wood hardness measurements came from The Wood Database:http://www.wood-database.comHow to install and finish plywood flooring:http://www.ibuildit.ca/other%20projects/Home%20Improvement/more-plywood-floor.htmlWays YOU can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale: http://www.ibuildit.ca/plans.htmlPatreon: patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=hWebsite: http://www.ibuildit.caFacebook: facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caGoogle+: plus.google.com/u/0/b/107142665853474113931

Super Cheap Super Easy Shelves For A Closet I Build It Home 2017-02-08 | You can follow what I'm doing on Instagram: instagram.com/i_build_it.caA quick one but useful for those of you that want to add a lot of shelf space to a closet, but don't want a permanent install. This cost me less than $30 in total - 1-1/2 sheets of OSB, 2 - 2x4's and some scrap plywood for cleats. Spacing for the shelves can be fixed, or adjustable using shelf pins and holes. You can add support to the shelves in many ways if you are loading them with heavy stuff.Also, I'm trying out a new upload resolution - 1440p - to see how that looks.

The Disappearance Of Mary Sue McKleven I Build It Home 2016-10-30 | Happy Halloween :)Story and narration by Don Heisz. Don writes the always entertaining "Offcuts":ibuildit.ca/offcutsThis is a long abandoned house we found back in September when we went out for a day looking for dilapidated and falling down barns. It was a very creepy location, well back from the main road. I can't say with any certainty if there was every a cannibalistic clan living there, but it's easy to imagine there was :DOf course, Mary Sue McKleven is entirely fictitious and resembles no person living or dead.Ways YOU can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale: ibuildit.ca/plansMaking these videos is expensive and time consuming, and you can help by becoming a supporter of this channel on Patreon.

My Drive To Ottawa Taking Pictures Of Old Barns Along The Way I Build It Home 2016-09-20 | Please note: I'm not a professional photographer and I'm not pretending to be one. But, I do know what looks good to me, and how to use the camera somewhat competently :DAs explained in the video, the biggest problem (other than not finding any truly dilapidated buildings) was access to take the pictures. Many I had to take from a distance or at an angle that wasn't ideal. In spite of that, I am very happy with what I did get. Some of the pictures have more post processing than others, mainly to highlight what I thought of as the mood. A few of the ones that slideshow at the end of the video were processed differently, and every photo throughout the video was edited in some way. I left on the morning of the 14th, and got to Ottawa on the morning of the 15th. My route more or less followed highway 7 all the way, with a lot of weaving back and forth to take sideroads.The live Q&A was with Matthias Wandel at his house, in his shop. If you would like to watch a recording of it, here's a link to the video:youtube.com/watch?v=kY3juGRix00
Grouting Ceramic Tiles I Build It Home 2016-08-05 | I hate grouting! It's probably one of my least favourite home improvement projects, but it has to be done.I think that overall, it would have been just as easy to use the type of epoxy grout I used for the countertop instead of this cement based grout, so for future projects I'll use that instead. More expensive, but the results are 100x better.Ways YOU can help support the work I do in making these videos:Plans for sale: ibuildit.ca/plansMaking these videos is expensive and time consuming, and you can help by becoming a supporter of this channel on Patreon.

Laying Ceramic Floor Tile I Build It Home 2016-07-31 | Laying roughly 170 square feet of porcelain tile in the new kitchen. The layout is diagonal to follow the junction between the living room / hall and the kitchen area, and I thought it would look more interesting. It's more work doing it on an angle like this, since my tile cutter isn't big enough to handle these cuts, so I had to do them all on the tub saw.The first part of the floor was sloping down and I had to build that up so that the tiles would look flat. But the rest of the floor was new and perfectly flat already, and it went a lot quicker there.

Making Windows Triple Pane I Build It Home 2016-06-19 | After adding the storm to the outside, I decided I should take the time to make and install the new sash on the inside. This makes the window units triple glazed and should be a good bit more efficient than they were before.
