Black Inflatable Square | What Is It? | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-10-07 | In this video, when general contractor Tom Silva brings one of his unique tools to the shop, the crew makes a few guesses at what it might be. Here’s how it went.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.When general contractor Tom Silva brought a new tool to the shop, no one knew what it was. It’s black, flexible, square, and has a ball attached to the end. Safe to say, none of the other crew members knew what it was.Landscape contractor Jenn Nawada said it’s her “fresh air purse.” She fills the bag outside by pumping the ball, and when she needs some fresh air during a day in the office, she releases the air valve and breathes in her stored fresh air.Host Kevin O’Connor said he uses this tool on days when he can’t get to the gym. He just slides it under his shirt and pumps it up to give his pec muscles a bit more definition. He would definitely need two, though.Plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey thinks it’s a multi-tool. He sits on it at concerts and sports games, and if he can’t see past the person in front of him, he pumps the handle until he’s a few inches taller. The other purpose? A whoopee cushion.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

By extending the countertop, we'll be able to include an overhang for seating and extend our upper cabinets up to the ceiling. So it’s the perfect time to add some visual interest to this area to create a more custom look. The cabinet will consist of two boards that will make up the back walls. I’ll rip their front edges at 45 degrees to set against the face frame, which will have outside edges also ripped at 45 degrees to set against the existing cabinet and wall. Lastly, I’ll add some shelves and cap their front edge to finish the look before I add crown molding to all the new upper cabinets.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

Each of these “fingers”, as Tom calls them, presents more gluing surface, and therefore more holding power. Building the joint can be done on either a router or a table saw. Tom decides to use a table saw [amzn.to/3Bs64sC] equipped with a dado blade [amzn.to/3rPsFvY]. He and Kevin build a box joint jig which is a simple table saw sled equipped with adjustable stops and a pin. The pin allows for even spacing between dados. Tom and Kevin use black walnut to make the tray, which they sand, assemble, and then finish with food-safe oil [amzn.to/3gOGWCF]. Enjoying full-episodes of This Old House?

How To Replace Bathroom Tiles | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-06-01 | In this video, after a homeowner removed the previous resident’s accessibility bars, his bathroom tile was left with holes to be patched. Carpenter Nathan Gilbert shows him how to seamlessly repair the damaged tile.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.After a homeowner purchased their new home, they set out to remove the previous owner’s handicap grab bars. As a result, their fully-tiled bathroom was left with some holes that needed patching. When they called the team at Ask This Old House for help, carpenter Nathan Gilbert gladly headed out to help them patch up their problem.Where to find it?To remove the tile, Nathan first scores around the grout using a utility knife [homedepot.sjv.io/baM6mb]. Then, he uses a grout brush [homedepot.sjv.io/KjMrZy] to clean out any dust. He also uses a carbide tipped grout removal tool [homedepot.sjv.io/PyMe6N] to help create a clean open line in the grout. He then begins carefully chipping out the tile with a hammer [homedepot.sjv.io/ZQmzbR] and chisel [homedepot.sjv.io/JzM92r]. Once the gypsum board is vacuumed [homedepot.sjv.io/DKJenj] and wiped off, the tile is ready to be installed. To adhere the new tile, Nathan opts to use a tile repair mortar [homedepot.sjv.io/3evBEX], applying it to the back of the tile using a 1/8 the notched trowel [homedepot.sjv.io/LXMj2L]. Once the tile is laid in, Nathan checks that the depth of the tile matches the others with a level [homedepot.sjv.io/PynBPq]. To grout the tiles, Nathan uses an unsanded grout that comes in a caulking tube [homedepot.sjv.io/75vEOr] for easy application.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?
