How do you anchor a shed? With American Earth Anchors of Course U Do It 2024-03-29 | My first question in our latest windstorm was "How do you anchor a shed?" I did some research on how to tie down a shed. And, I determined for my shed that this would be best with American Earth Anchors. American Earth Anchors offer an 18-inch Penetrator anchor earth screw made of solid aluminum with a 1-inch hex head for installation with a torque wrench. This Penetrator anchor has an impressive strength rating of 2,500 lbs. I'm always curious about product specifications. I'm confident that four of these with one installed in each corner would hold our shed in a heavy wind storm. If all forces were equal then that would be almost 10,000 lbs of holding strength. Since wind gusts come in many different directions, this is probably derated. But, it is still an impressive number.Tools and Products used in this video:Penetrator 18 inch Aluminum Screw Earth Anchor: amzn.to/4cBXZDOTie Off for PE-18: amzn.to/3IYRDANRidgid 18V 1/2 inch High Torque Impact Wrench: amzn.to/4cLS92ORidgid 18V Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Kit: amzn.to/3x99ZMCRed Sharpie: amzn.to/3vzm4KHStanley FatMax 35-foot Tape Measure: amzn.to/3VDkNgjSAE Deep Impact Socket Set: amzn.to/43zAZ4dLexivon Impact Socket Adapter Set: amzn.to/4cxUEpf1/2 inch x 3 1/2 inch Stainless Steel Lag Bolts: amzn.to/3xfAaBw1/2 inch Stainless Steel Fender Washers: amzn.to/3TwjwF8To learn more about this product installation as well as other products visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/do-it-yourself-build-a-shed-how-do-you-anchor-a-shedVideo Chapters0:00 Anchoring the Shed Introduction1:15 Installing the anchor on the first corner2:02 Determining where to secure the tie-down3:05 Drilling pilot hole for stainless steel lag bolt3:42 Securing tie-down to shed with lag bolt5:50 Checking if siding corner will fit over it6:30 The lag bolt and fender washers6:50 Review of impact driver and PE-18 Anchor7:39 Installation of the anchor on 2nd corner10:50 Installation of anchor on 3rd corner13:36 Installation of anchor on 4th corner15:38 Installation of vinyl siding corner over the anchor point15:58 Review of tools used17:25 Why am I anchoring my shed?

UDoIt Video Gear - The best camera angle for maximum impact U Do It 2024-03-24 | If you want your content to have the best camera angle for maximum impact then you'll find this UDoIt™️ Video Gear video helpful. I'm using the Neewer 9.8-inch adjustable magic arm with a super clamp. It is also known as an articulating arm. I recently reviewed a hedge trimmer (video will be released soon) and I strive for the best POV (point of view) for the viewer. I show you just how I did that.Usually, when editing my videos I am saddened that I wasn't more intentional in my camera angles. Sometimes I get in the way of the camera. Other times the camera is too far away. I called an audible 3/4 of the way through recording my hedge trimmer review. I decided to use a camera angle held in place with the articulating arm that I just purchased.Watching a hedge trimmer in action from afar is useful to an extent. But, what if I brought the viewer close to the blade cutting the foliage? That's exactly what I do in this video. The Neewer articulating arm is capable of holding 4.4 lbs fully extended. I'm using the GoPro Hero 10 Black camera and it is nowhere close to 4.4 lbs so we're good. The articulating arm includes a super clamp, which allows you to securely clamp to a round or square tube. The super clamp has foam pads that enhance its gripping strength, and as you can see it grips well.The Neewer 9.8-inch Adjustable Magic Arm and Super Clamp is available here: amzn.to/3J88UYtTo learn more about the Neewer Adjustable Magic Arm and Super Clamp used in this video as well as other tips and tricks visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/the-best-camera-angle-for-maximum-impact“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records LLC All Rights Reserved.
UDoIt Reviews the Biusine cordless chainsaw kit U Do It 2024-03-20 | In this video, UDoIt Reviews the Biusine cordless chainsaw kit. The saw features a 14-inch blade and includes two 21V 6Ahr batteries, a charger with a European plug adapter, two 14-inch chains, a user guide, and a tool for installing and removing the chain. The user guide does not provide a lot of help for assembly. I try not to read the user guide, anyway. However, for those who are using a chainsaw for the first time, my video will provide more help than the supplied user guide.Please note that this is for demonstration purposes only. You are responsible for your own safety and safe operation. Please refer to the included safety instructions. Safety is a mindset and should be applied all the time.The battery charger supplied with my unit came with a European-style plug. The manufacturer indicated that this should not be the case when ordered. I have similar units, which use the same 21V batteries. I was able to use the charger for these batteries. Please note, that this is against the recommendation within the user guide. So please only use the battery charger supplied with the unit. If your unit did not come complete with the correct charger adapter, contact the manufacturer and they will supply you with the correct adapter.When I initially assembled the chainsaw, I had difficulty installing the cover. I eventually learned that it was due to the tensioner (barrel nut) that was not in the correct position. Inspecting the area where the wood chips are ejected, you can observe the tensioner and its relative position to the receiving hole within the bar. Once lined up it clicks into place with moderate force as demonstrated. You can attach the flanged nuts to hold the cover in place but you need to properly set the tension before torquing them down. Setting the tension of the chain is easy through a quick observation. As the chainsaw is resting level on your work surface, verify that the chain is not sagging in the middle of the bar. It should be very close to the bar. However, if you lightly tug on the chain of the underside of the bar and pull it you should notice a little slack in the chain. This is expected. So, adjust the tension accordingly. Please note that a chain that has high tension will exert excessive force on the sprocket and motor shaft. This can result in excessive wear to the motor, electronics, and the sprocket at the end of the bar. And too loose of a chain can result in the chain flying off the bar.Once your tension is set correctly, you can fill the reservoir with bar and chain oil. In the video, I use Toro bar and chain oil. Use the brand of oil you are happiest with but appropriate for a 14-inch chainsaw. Secure the oil cap in place and install the battery. You are now ready to begin cutting away.I began cutting but not really. The saw wasn't digging into the wood. It was at that moment that I realized the chain was installed backward. It was an oversight I had during the installation. The teeth of the chain on the top of the bar must point away from the saw. The teeth dig into the wood and chip away at it. If the chain is installed backward, it will not dig into the wood. And if you continue to operate the saw in this manner for an extended time it can damage the saw.

Do you know where your nuts are? U Do It 2024-03-12 | In this video, you will learn how to improve your workshop flow by labeling things. There's nothing worse than interrupting your flow to find the nuts and bolts you need for your project. Only to spend more time looking for them than doing the real work. We all know about labeling. But, did we label things? For the most part, I know where things are in my shop. But, I have several Ridgid Tools small parts organizers that I stack very high. They aren't labeled and when I find one I often don't put them back in the same order. I know I have one that is dedicated to 1/4-20 nuts, bolts, and washers. However, trying to find it can sometimes require me removing each one only to find it was the bottom one. If they are labeled, I might have to remove each one to get to the bottom one. But, at least I'll know instantly where it is in the stack.The Brother P-Touch Cube compatible label cartridges manufacturer sent me these labels for review. I figured this was a better time than ever to start my labeling. This brings back memories of when I would help my dad label things with the Dymo label maker. He too had a workshop that was organized with small parts drawers, pickle jars hanging from the ceiling, and racks of baby food jars.Hehua Brother P-Touch Cube TZe-231 Label Cartidge 6-Pack White: amzn.to/3V9n5ndBrother P-Touch Cube Label Maker: amzn.to/3TeGVKZTo learn more about my labeling process as well as projects visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/storage-and-organization-improve-your-flow-by-labeling“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.
Dont toss it - Repurposing a fluorescent lamp and save money U Do It 2024-03-09 | In this video, I show you how to save money by repurposing a fluorescent lamp by using parts from a broken one.Our friend Blaise gave me two fluorescent lighting fixtures. One was broken and had an electrical cord with a 3-prong plug. The other was a salvaged lighting fixture permanently installed in an office and professionally removed by an electrician. Blaise needs me to remove the electrical cord from the broken one and install it within the other fixture. He will then use LED drop-in replacement bulbs to help reduce energy costs.In my article, I go into the details of how I removed the cord from the broken one. Then I safely installed the new lighting fixture. This was easily achieved using a Romex connector, a spade crimp connector, two crimp cap connectors, and electrical tape.If you want to learn more about this retrofit and learn about other ways to save money visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/save-money-by-repurposing-lighting-fixturesTools and Materials Used in this Video:Cap Terminal Crimp Connectors - amzn.to/3uUV6grElectrical Tape - amzn.to/49K9xD6Fluorescent Bulbs3/8 inch Romex Connector - amzn.to/3PcKhwWDiagonal CuttersNeedle Nose PliersWire StrippersFlat Head ScrewdriverDigital Multi MeterVideo Chapters0:00 How to Save Money by Repurposing a Fluorescent Lamp0:20 Removing the electrical cord from the bad one2:41 Inspecting the good Fluorescent Lamp4:05 Installation of Romex Connector5:13 Installation of Electrical Cord6:04 Connecting Ground to Metal Housing6:57 Attaching Hot and Neutral Wires9:48 Assembly of the lamp and power-up11:29 An example of how we save money“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.
GOYOJO GW192S SuperIR Thermal Imaging Camera Review U Do It 2024-03-07 | If you are interested in thermal imaging applications then the GOYOJO GW192S SuperIR Thermal Imaging Camera may be your solution. The camera features a 192x192 resolution and a temperature range of -4 to 1022 degrees Fahrenheit. A button is on the front of the handle, which can be used for image capture to the built-in memory on the camera. But, it can also be used to turn on the laser pointer. There is a menu option to disable the laser, as you would not want that on if you are scanning people or pets. You can transfer the images from the camera using the included USB-C to USB-A data transfer and charging cable.The GOYOJO GW192S Thermal Imaging Camera is available here: amzn.to/434BXoQTo learn more about this camera and see other tool reviews and projects visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/tool-review-goyojo-gw192s-thermal-imaging-cameraThe camera's menu has many options, some of which are important to optimize temperature readings. These important options include the Units, Emissivity, Distance, and Temperature Range. Units allow you to select F, C, or K temperature scales.Emissivity is a setting used to match the object being scanned. There are several emissivity preset choices, including brick, soil, and human skin. But, if you can't find the item you can enter a custom emissivity value.Distance is how far the item being scanned is from the thermal camera. As you may know light decreases exponentially the further away you are from the source. This setting helps to compensate for that.Temperature Range is the setting for the range. You can select Auto Switch, -4 to 302 degrees Fahrenheit, or 212 to 1022 degrees Fahrenheit. I found that Auto Switch will provide you with the appropriate temperature range but it takes some time to switch. Selecting the temperature range manually is probably the better choice. It will let you know when you exceed the range as shown in the video.Video Chapters0:00 Unboxing of the GOYOJO GW192S SuperIR Thermal Imaging Camera0:35 Initial power-up and first look at the camera features3:11 Using the camera to inspect my electric heater5:35 Changing the temperature range6:25 Switching between color gradient modes8:55 Recording a social media video with the camera11:06 Detailed review of the camera settings12:53 Setting the Emissivity parameter14:55 Setting the Distance parameter16:55 Setting the Color Palette (color gradient)17:46 Display Setting allows control over what shows on the display18:13 Level & Span Settings19:10 Setting the Temperature Units and Date & TimeThe manufacturer sent this unit to U Do It for review. “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records® LLC All Rights Reserved.
Easy Fix for Compressor not Building Pressure OL195 Pump U Do It 2024-02-23 | If your compressor is not building pressure it could be because of a faulty valve plate or piston ring. Of course, there could be other reasons, but this is what I found in my case. In this video, I show you how I diagnose my Husky pancake compressor problems and fix them. The compressor pump on this unit is model number OL195. It is used in some Husky, Stanley, and Bostitch models and possibly others. The model number is clearly imprinted on the pump for easy identification.Many oil-less air compressor pumps are built with a motor that spins a flywheel, which has a connecting rod and piston assembly that pushes air through a cylinder. This compressed air feeds into a valve plate and pump head. This assembly supplies air into the compressor through a check valve, which prevents the compressor from losing air through the pump head. The compressor pump is controlled by a pressure switch with built-in hysteresis. The hysteresis could be set for 25 psi with a max pressure of 125 psi. This would mean that the pump will kick on at 100 psi and turn off around 125 psi. But, what if the pump never shuts off? That's why compressors are supplied with pressure relief valves to trip at a higher pressure, like 150 psi. The particular problem with my pump is that it builds up pressure to around 45 psi but doesn't exceed it. The compressor doesn't lose pressure, which means that the check valve is ok and all hoses beyond the check valve are good. The problem could be within my pump itself. Another problem is that the pump never shuts off since it isn't achieving the maximum pressure of 125 psi. This could result in damage to the pump and motor and could possibly create a fire hazard from overheating.Now that I built a shed, I'm cleaning up my garage and moving stuff into the shed. After rediscovering this old compressor that I had sitting I remembered that I had intentions of fixing it. That's why we are here. I have since purchased a replacement compressor that performs much better. But, it's nice to have this old one as a spare. And I enjoy restoring equipment that can be fixed without spending too much money.The parts diagram for your compressor and pump is almost surely available online. The OL195 diagram is available on several websites where you can order replacement parts. The model OL195 pump on my compressor was assembled using the single valve plate. I upgraded to the double valve plate, which also required replacing the connecting rod cap for the piston. The double valve plate kit part number is AB-9429999. You may also see model information such as Bostitch CAP60P-OF, which uses the OL195 pump.The piston ring is available here: amzn.to/3wx9b3OThe valve plate assembly and cap are available here: amzn.to/3UKAP7LTo learn more about this repair as well as other repairs and projects visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/equipment-repair-husky-air-compressor-is-not-pressurizingTools Used in the RepairBall-End Allen Bits: amzn.to/48reDCEMilwaukee Shockwave Impact Driver Bit Set: amzn.to/3wyEwmILoctite Threadlocker Blue 242: amzn.to/3T7EACVCraftsman Mechanics Tool Set: amzn.to/3Iaz38gRidgid Drill and Driver: amzn.to/3UNqR5qC-Clamp: amzn.to/49L2j1m“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Chapters0:00 My Air Compressor Will Not Pressurize2:10 Evaluating the problem3:40 Removing the head body to inspect valve plate5:45 Valve plate has a broken valve6:43 Replacing the single valve plate with double valve plate12:00 Preparing to install new piston ring14:04 Removing fan (reverse threads)14:40 Removing connecting rod from flywheel bearing15:18 Installing piston ring on connecting rod15:55 Installing piston into piston cylinder and installing connecting rod onto bearing16:49 Installing double valve plate and pump head17:37 Installing fan onto flywheel (reverse threads)18:25 Compressor now reaches 125 psiVideo Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records LLC All Rights Reserved.

This mini chainsaw helped me clean up after a storm U Do It 2024-01-15 | In this tool review, we unbox and demonstrate the ImoumLive 6-inch Mini Chainsaw for Pruning and tree trimming. The manufacturer sent this product to me for review.The product was nicely housed within a latched blow mold case. Included in the case were safety glasses, a maintenance kit, a battery charger with two 21V 3Ahr batteries, and the operating manual.The saw feels strong compared to other mini chainsaws I have reviewed. It has some weight to it and feels like the material used for the housing is dense and strong. Nearly everything was self-explanatory but considering safety I thought it was important to review the manual. The manual helped me understand some of the features. However, the manual did not describe the maintenance kit that was supplied. For instance, it was not clear if the included bottle of liquid was chain and bar oil.The Imoum Live 6-Inch Mini Chainsaw can be found here: amzn.to/47BLHHVToro Bar & Chain Oil can be found here: amzn.to/48TOWLwTo learn more about the ImoumLive Mini Chainsaw as well as other products and projects visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/tool-review-mini-chainsaw-for-pruning-and-tree-trimmingVideo Chapters0:00 Unboxing of ImoumLive Mini Chainsaw2:00 Filling oil reservoir with Toro bar & chain oil3:10 Installing battery3:37 First cut with the mini chainsaw4:34 Cutting 2-inch diameter branch5:25 Cutting 4-inch diameter branch7:00 Cutting 6-inch diameter branch9:54 Switching to another battery11:11 Cutting a 4-inch diameter branch12:54 Looking at the battery level indicator14:21 It's a fun tool to use“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese RecordsⓇ LLC All Rights Reserved.
An affordable compactor for rapid DIY ground compacting U Do It 2024-01-07 | There's finally an affordable compactor for rapid DIY ground compacting to help you complete your projects without costing you a fortune. Meet the BILT HARD Gas Powered Plate Compactor that features 2500 Pounds of compaction force that can compact loose dirt, soil, gravel, and more to a foundation to be built upon.I prefer to do as much if not all of the work necessary to complete a DIY project myself; hence, the term DIY or Do It Yourself. This is why I named my brand U DO IT because I do it first then you do it. But, my slogan is I DON'T DO IT - U DO IT. Finding tools and machinery that fit within the budget is an important deciding factor in both the direction of a project and if I choose to rent or purchase. Especially, if said tools and machinery can be used in future projects. We have a local tools and machinery rental company that we love. But, I do not like spending money on a rental. I would rather invest in a tool that I know I can use on another project.The price point of this compactor at the time of my purchase in early 2023 was just at the right value. I was able to purchase this compactor and use it to level the ground on my schedule. And, what is not shown in this video is the numerous times that I used it on the same project months later. For me to do this with a rental, I would have to revisit the rental company multiple times. The compactor itself is quite heavy. It is listed as weighing 126 pounds. This makes it a little difficult to maneuver alone. But, I was able to get it into place and unbox it. The packaging was done well I thought and had a combination of plywood and dense cardboard to secure it in the box. The assembly was fairly simple following the directions.

Using a telescoping plank and trestles for working on my shed roof U Do It 2024-01-02 | In this video, I'm unboxing, setting up, and using a telescoping plank and trestles for working on my shed roof. I'm using my Little Giant Ladders as trestles to hold the Vevor Telescoping Plank. With this combination, I feel very confident walking about the plank.The roof of my shed is 218 inches wide and I need something economical and functionally safe. I need to be able to safely work along the width of the shed by walking along the plank. The plank will also serve as a staging area for tools and materials that are needed to work on the roof.The Vevor Telescoping Plank supports 440 pounds and can extend from its shortest of 9 feet to its longest of 15 feet. The plank is constructed of tubular aluminum and is very light to pick up and position into place. The plank does deflect some as you walk across it, which is expected. It took me a little while to get used to this. Now, I'm much more confident walking about it and have since completed my roof.Since the plank collapses down to 9 feet I will be able to easily transport it in my truck along with my Little Giant Ladders.To purchase the Vevor Telescoping Plank visit: amzn.to/3TIpcNYTo see U Do It™️ Contractor Tools for Home visit: amzn.to/3CHXveuTo learn more about the Vevor Telescoping Plank as well as other products and projects please visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/do-it-yourself-build-a-shed-vevor-telescoping-plank-for-roofing“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records LLC All Rights Reserved.
Using Rustoleum Copper Coat to Extend the life of Pressure Treated Wood U Do It 2023-12-26 | In this video I'm using Rustoleum Copper Coat to extend the life of pressure treated wood that I'm using to create a retaining wall. I'm using my DeWalt miter saw to cut half-lap joints that will be used to interconnect the timbers.Once the half-lap joints are cut I apply the Rustoleum Wood Life Copper Coat with a brush to the freshly exposed wood. This appears blue at first, which is typical of a copper solution. But then as it oxidizes it quickly turns to a green patina.Rustoleum Woodlife Copper Coat is available here: amzn.to/3v9BiWjTo learn more about this project as well as other projects please visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/do-it-yourself-build-a-shed-woodlife-copper-coat-wood-preservative“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.
Using a roofing nailer to install drip edge on a shed roof U Do It 2023-12-23 | In this video, I unbox and demonstrate using a roofing nailer to install drip edge on a shed roof that I'm in the process of building. I purchased the WEN Roofing Nailer so I could complete my shed roof on my own.The WEN Roofing Nailer, which is model number WEN 61783, is shipped with a carrying case, goggles, an oiler, and the necessary hex keys to make adjustments as required. I'm using Grip Right 1 1/4" coil roofing nails that are 11 gauge, which is compatible with this nailer. I originally purchased these nails for building my original shed at our last property. That shed is a 12 x 16-foot shed with a gambrel roof that stands 16 feet tall.The purpose of a drip edge on a roof is to provide a way to divert water away from the roof line. Otherwise, water would make its way back under the shingles and underlayment. There are differing opinions about the order of ice and water shield, underlayment, and drip edge. The order is sometimes determined by the construction code in a particular region based on predominant weather conditions. For our area in New Jersey, we receive an average of 20+ inches of snow a year. I'm applying the drip edge first then the underlayment along the roof edge. Along the rake edge, underlayment is installed first followed by the drip edge. I chose not to install ice and water shield.The fascia will be installed under the drip edge. Therefore, it is important to leave a small gap under the drip edge. If a gutter were installed, it would also be installed under the same drip edge along the edge of the roof.To learn more about this and other projects and tool reviews visit U Do It™️ at:: udoit.me/do-it-yourself-build-a-shed-wen-roofing-nailerSimilar pneumatic roofing nailers are available here: amzn.to/47fORRcVideo Chapters:0:00 Unboxing of WEN Roofing Nailer Model Number 617832:18 Loading a coil of nails into the nailer4:23 Initial test of nailer4:46 Notching and mitering Drip Edge6:22 Installing drip edge on shed roof8:16 Placing underlayment over drip edge and nailing in place“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.
Replacing an Over the Range Microwave Oven U Do It 2023-12-21 | Our Frigidaire Microwave oven was over five years old and stopped working last year. We love the look of the Frigidaire black stainless steel microwave and wanted to find a replacement that looked similar. At that point, we realized how convenient a microwave appliance is for life. We lived without it for over a year. Meanwhile, I tried fixing it several times with no success.We bought a new Frigidaire black stainless steel microwave to replace it. And now that we have a functioning microwave we can heat up water, have microwave popcorn, and even reheat leftovers.To learn more about this replacement and other U Do It™️ projects visit: udoit.me/how-to-replace-a-broken-microwaveMicrowave Ovens are available here: amzn.to/3vhIAag“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.

I built a ridge beam and its uneven - using the DeWalt DCP580 U Do It 2023-12-14 | I built a ridge beam and it's uneven and I need a way to make it even. I have a hand planer but I always wanted a power planer. So I'm using this DeWalt DCP580 power planer that I purchased to make the job easier. This planer features a 3 1/4 of an inch wide cut with a 1/256th of an inch incremental cutting depth adjustment up to a maximum of 2mm depth per cut. I set the depth to the smallest amount.The ridge beam is fabricated from two 2x8x12s and two 2x8x8s to form a 20-foot span for my 12x16 shed. The final span will be 218.5 inches after the excess is cut off once the beam is in place. I cut the top side of the ridge beam to 15 degrees, which is what my shed plans specified. When the beam was fabricated I ensured that the beveled side was perfectly aligned. This resulted in the bottom side being out of alignment by approximately 1/8th of an inch. There are two points that the ridge beam rests on, which are the front and back supports. Other than these two resting points the rest of the bottom of the beam is irrelevant. I needed a way to flatten the bottom side at these two points of the ridge beam. And that is what this video is about - using the DeWalt DCP580 power planer to flatten these two critical points.The products used in this video can be found in the U Do It™️ Contractor Tools for Home list here: amzn.to/3CHXveuTo learn more about this planer and other tools and projects visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/do-it-yourself-build-a-shed-using-the-dewalt-dcp580-planer0:00 DeWalt DCP580 Power Planer Unboxing3:15 Attaching the DeWalt DCB201 battery3:41 Inspecting the area of the ridge beam that needs to be planed4:20 Attaching the rabbit fence5:00 Making the first cut with the planer6:21 Inspecting the results of several passes6:57 Working on the other end8:41 The final passes and my thoughts on the DeWalt Planer“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.

My pressure washer is leaking gas and how I fixed it U Do It 2023-11-21 | My pressure washer is leaking gas as soon as I filled the tank. Every season I expect not to be able to start my Troy-Bilt pressure washer because of issues as a result of old gas and corrosion of the carburetor. I was prepared to make the fix that I do every season, which is to clean the ports in the bowl nut. All I wanted to do was clean my driveway with a new pressure washer surface cleaner I purchased. As you can see in the video it was leaking by the carburetor. My guess is that the o-ring gasket around the bowl or the small gasket around the bowl nut failed. Rather than investigate that issue I decided to purchase a replacement carburetor. I had already removed the original carburetor in preparation for this.Once I installed the carburetor and put a little gas in the tank it started right up after a few pull starts. You'll see in this video youtu.be/N7LKAN7lj2k that I successfully cleaned my driveway with the new pressure washer surface cleaner.

Restore your concrete with this pressure washer surface cleaner U Do It 2023-11-15 | You're probably watching this video because you own a pressure washer and you want to clean your concrete, patio, or driveway. And I'm going to guess that you've already cleaned your concrete, patio, or driveway with your pressure washer using the included wand. Although this works, it spreads debris all over not to mention you get covered in pressure-washed gunk.The cleaner head has two pressure washer tips that are slightly angled so the head spins while cleaning your surface. I demonstrate this on my Troy-Bilt 875EX Pressure Washer, which is rated for 2800PSI. The Twinkle Star Surface Cleaner is rated for 3100PSI. If your pressure washer exceeds this pressure do not purchase it.The Twinkle Star Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner as well as other pressure washer accessories is available on U Do It™️ Pressure Washing Essentials List here: amzn.to/44g4HdDTo learn more about the Twinkle Star Surface Cleaner as well as other products and projects visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/cleaning-is-so-easy-with-this-surface-cleaner“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records® LLC All Rights Reserved.
Trying the RZ Mask while cutting half lap joints U Do It 2023-11-14 | Even while working outdoors in the wind, saw dust finds its way to you. Seeing others using dust protection I decided to purchase the RZ Mask for my PPE while building my shed. The RZ Mask M2 comes with filter inserts that provide additional protection, such as active carbon filtration to remove fumes.

Saving money by growing your own garden in a raised bed planter U Do It 2023-05-17 | My goal in this video is to help inspire you to do what you can to save money by building a raised bed planter. If you have a large plot of land, you may still want a raised bed garden for peppers or tomatoes close to your house. If you live in the city a raised bed planter may be a great option for you. The goal is to save you money and not go out and buy the next best tool. If you have an old-school hand saw, by all means, use that instead of going out and buying a saw.I was fortunate to grow up at a time when my life overlapped with my grandparents' lives. They told me about the tough times they had growing up during the great depression. Though I could not appreciate it at the time it resonates well with me now. Our economy is echoing similar circumstances to what happened 100 years ago. So the time is more critical than ever to begin doing what is necessary to survive.In this video, I am using power tools. Some may say that is fancy. Others may say it is primitive. It's all relative and again that is not the point of this video. I am stressing the importance of doing things for yourself and your family to help you save money.0:00 Introduction of Raised Bed Planter0:29 Review of tools and materials used5:00 Setup of DeWalt Miter Saw5:33 Cutting 4x4 post to 30 inches long6:44 Cutting walls of the planter from 2x6 lumber8:48 Using a combination square10:14 Drilling holes with a countersink bit12:03 Adding chamfer to walls15:04 Assembly of legs and walls17:59 Adding supports for soil18:48 Flipping over the planter19:46 Rounding over sharp corners with a router22:00 Adding pocket hole screws to legs22:50 Painting inside with Flex Seal24:15 Preparing narrow crown stapler24:45 Getting DeWalt Air Hose Reel25:12 Installing wire mesh with a stapler27:35 Adding landscaping fabric28:55 BTS shooting a promo reel for other platformsTools and Materials used in this video:DeWalt DWS716 12-Inch Miter Saw amzn.to/3nZoCy9Flex Seal Spray amzn.to/42EZ4W7DeWalt Drill and Impact Driver Kit amzn.to/3MwxggHFor the additional tools, materials, and construction details see the article below.To learn more about this restoration and other projects on U Do It™ visit: udoit.me/building-it-raised-bed-planter Video Asset owned by: No Cheese Records LLCRights Management for this video: U Do It StudiosPublishing for this video: Bigginz PublishingVideo: © 2022 U Do It Studios© Copyright 2022 Bigginz Publishing℗ Copyright 2022 No Cheese RecordsDivisions of No Cheese Records LLC.

Laying out rebar pins for shed and capping them for safety U Do It 2023-05-10 | I'm laying out rebar pins that are parallel to our house so the layout of our shed will be square with it. I placed two pins along the back of the house that are spaced 207 inches apart. I want to create reference pins that are exactly 207 inches apart but 320 inches away from the back of the house. Using my Craftsman Construction Calculator I was able to determine the diagonal for the rectangle which is 207 inches by 320 inches. The calculator allows you to enter Rise, Run, and then press the Diag function to calculate the diagonal. It calculated 381 1/8 inches.I have a 35-foot Stanely tape measure and a 100' Kobalt tape measure. I was able to tape the end of the 35' tape measure to the one piece of rebar. Then I noticed the Kobalt has a loop at the end for you to place it over 1/2 inch rebar. I wasn't aware this tape measure had this feature so that made things easier for me once I discovered it.

Scotts Triple Action really controls the weeds U Do It 2023-04-22 | This year I applied Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action, which feeds the lawn, provides weed control, and stops crabgrass. Last year around this time I applied Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed, which feeds the lawn, and provides weed control. We're seeing a much bigger difference with our lawn this year thanks to Scotts Triple Action. I applied the fertilizer using the Scotts Turf Builder with EdgeGaurd DLX broadcast spreader. This spreader offers wide dispersal for good coverage and overlap. This spreader allows you to block the edge from being fertilized using EdgeGaurd. I had the setting at the recommended 3.5 but I found that it was dispersing way too quickly so I dialed it back to around 2.5 and this worked much better.To learn more about this visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/scotts-triple-action-controls-weeds-and-crabgrassScotts Turf Builder Triple Action Fertilizer: amzn.to/3KX0fbxScotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX Broadcast Spreader: amzn.to/3H7BzfAVideo Asset owned by: No Cheese Records LLCRights Management for this video: U Do It StudiosPublishing for this video: Bigginz PublishingVideo: © 2022 U Do It Studios© Copyright 2022 Bigginz Publishing℗ Copyright 2022 No Cheese RecordsDivisions of No Cheese Records LLC.

Spring is the time to apply weed & feed fertilizer U Do It 2023-03-27 | It's that time of year again to begin your lawn care as I'm doing here by applying Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed. I also purchased the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX Broadcast Spreader because it states that it can hold up to 15,000 square feet of lawn product. In this video, you'll see what the spreader looks like with a 43lb bag of weed & feed fertilizer.This video was shot in 2022 and we were pleasantly surprised with how well the weed & feed fertilizer worked with unwatered grass. Our friend cuts it every 8 to 10 days depending upon its rate of growth.

Outlet loses power when I plug something into it U Do It 2023-03-24 | My outlet loses power when I plug something into it and in this video I troubleshoot it. But first, here's a little history of our problem. One day in band camp Mrs U Do It plugged in our vacuum and began vacuuming. Then my computer shut off and I lost internet connection while in the middle of working. I surmised that this is from a loose wire. With no time to fix it at that moment, it was still an issue. It happened again a few weeks later under the same circumstances. Almost one month later I'm here to fix the problem. In this video, you'll see I remove the outlet and show the connections. I replaced the original outlet in 2016 with this new outlet. But, when I installed it I used the push-in connectors in the back of the outlet. In retrospect, I should have used the lugs. I remove the wires by inserting a small slotted screwdriver into the wire releases. Some wires were really stuck in there and needed some significant force to remove them.Read more about this solution on U Do It™ here: udoit.me/outlet-loses-power-when-it-is-touched-or-movedU Do It™ Contractors Electrical Supply List, including the Ideal In-Sure Push-In Connectors: amzn.to/3mYrI4hU Do It™ Contractors Electrical Tools List: amzn.to/4016OjF0:00 Removing outlet from the junction box0:47 Using push-in connectors on outlet0:55 Found loose wire in push-in connection on outlet1:01 Using Ideal in-sure 30-1033 3-port push-in connectors1:09 Making a hot wire pigtail with Ideal in-sure connectors1:46 Removing wires from push-in connectors on back of outlet2:11 Making neutral wire pigtail with in-sure connectors2:52 Completing hot wire pigtail with Ideal in-sure connectors3:05 Connecting hot wire pigtail to screw terminal on outlet3:49 Connecting neutral wire pigtail to screw terminal on outlet4:48 Installing outlet in the wall and cover plate5:57 Using electrical tester to test outlet wiring6:57 Credits“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.
Refilling ink on an ESPON EcoTank Printer ET-15000 U Do It 2023-03-20 | In this video, I show you how to refill the EPSON EcoTank printer on my EPSON ET-15000 using the Black 502 ink bottle. My printer was very low on black ink. It was so low that the printer was no longer permitting the printer to print.Refilling the ink was quite easy as I demonstrate in this video. One concern is that you purchase the ink close to when you know you need it. That is of course unless there are supply chain issues that we have all come to know and love. Do you sense the sarcasm? And in that case, purchase a bottle or two extra, especially if you print a lot. In our case, we did not print a lot. It is used mainly for printing contracts and making copies of receipts. In Mrs U Do It's case, she uses it to print worksheets for her classroom and sometimes legal documents.We're happy with this printer and hope that it lasts us as long as our other printer from a different manufacturer lasted.To learn more about this refilling process please visit U Do It™️ here: udoit.me/how-to-refill-ink-in-an-epson-et-15000-inkjet-printerEpson T502 EcoTank Ultra-high Capacity Bottle Black T502120-S: amzn.to/3mNRIztEPSON T502 EcoTank Ink Ultra-high Capacity Bottle Color Combo Pack T502520-S: amzn.to/3JA0NovEPSON T502 EcoTank Ink Ultra-high Capacity Bottle Cyan T502220-S: amzn.to/3mH5XG9EPSON T502 EcoTank Ink Ultra-high Capacity Bottle Magenta T502320-S: amzn.to/3JbqBWyEPSON T502 EcoTank Ink Ultra-high Capacity Bottle Yellow T502420-S: amzn.to/3ThSbGkEpson EcoTank ET-15000 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer: amzn.to/3ZXx1POU Do It™️ Office Essentials List: amzn.to/3TbO0vp“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.

How to Replace Battery on Craftsman LT2000 Riding Lawnmower U Do It 2023-02-26 | In this video, I'm restoring a Craftsman LT2000 Riding Lawnmower. This is the first part of the journey as I discover each issue and attempt to resolve it. The engine wouldn't crank so I decided to replace the battery with a new battery.I bought this lawnmower in 2006 when we bought our second home on a 1/2 acre property. Mowing the property with a 21" walk-behind lawnmower, although a great way to exercise combined with landscaping maintenance, is a time killer. So I purchased this Craftsman LT2000 lawnmower from a Sears outlet store for $1,500.The Craftsman LT2000 lawnmower uses a Group U1 type 12 Volt battery with at least 250 cold cranking amps.To learn more about this restoration and other projects on U Do It™️ visit: udoit.me/installing-new-battery-in-a-craftsman-lt2000-riding-lawnmowerThe tools and materials used in this video are as follows:Mighty Max Battery ML-U1-CCAHR: amzn.to/3IEa6SKKaiweets DMM: amzn.to/3Y7fVO2Socket Set: amzn.to/3XYJVvrTorx Bit Set: amzn.to/3KEjlER“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.

Fabricating fasteners using my Lincoln Electric 210MP Welder U Do It 2023-02-10 | This video shows you how I'm fabricating fasteners out of threaded rod and flange nuts with my Lincoln Electric 210MP welder. I decided on this path out of necessity since I was unwilling to spend $270 on bolts (I found 10 bolts for $90). See, I'm building a bed for our son and my plans call for 11-inch bolts. They will be counter-bored into cross members that are 12 inches tall and threaded into T-Nuts, which will also be counter-bored from the bottom. I visited my favorite metal supply shop in our area, which is Fazzio Steel. There I was able to pick up 5/16-18 threaded rods, flange nuts, T-Nuts, and washers. I also purchased a used chop saw that I was able to use to cut down the threaded rod. Altogether, it was still cheaper than $270 and I got a new tool that will help in future projects.0:00 Intro to Fabricating Fasteners0:13 Cutting Threaded Rod into 11-inch sections2:15 Deburring with belt sander2:57 Feeding of NR-211-MP Flux-Cored wire4:21 Adapter to connect 240VAC welder plug to generator5:24 Welding flanged nuts to threaded rod with Lincoln Electric 210MP Welder8:11 Grinding welds with DeWALT DWE4011 and Blue Hawk flap discs10:26 Behind The Scenes video of fasteners11:35 Review of flux-cored wire setup12:55 Review of generator to welder plug adapters 13:22 NG-50R Plug to L14-20 AdapterVisit U Do It™️ to learn more about this welder: udoit.me/fabricating-fasteners-with-lincoln-electric-210mp-welderU Do It™️ Metal Working Essentials Shop: amzn.to/3XfHNPBLincoln Electric 210MP Welder K3963-1: amzn.to/3jGHVKgLincoln Electric MIG Welding Wire NR-211-MP: amzn.to/3Yl4aokLincoln Electric KH962 PRM Welding Gloves: amzn.to/3DLuy2jLincoln Electric Heavy Duty Leather Welding Jacket K2989-XL: amzn.to/3Yg9nxoLincoln Electric MIG Welding Pliers K4014-1: amzn.to/3RF0mLXDeWALT Metal Cutting Saw DW872: amzn.to/3lcWfuiWORKPRO 8-inch Welding Pliers: amzn.to/3XfxgDSOptrel VegaView 2.5 Welding Helmet 1006.600: amzn.to/3JP1r1OParkworld 691920A Generator to Welding Adapter Cord 240V: amzn.to/3Xcu2BmDeWALT 4-1/2 inch Angle Grinder DWE4011: amzn.to/3YdD8z1Black Hawk Grinding and Sanding Flap Discs T27 40-Grit: amzn.to/3XdFzAi“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.

Protect your Cabinets with Drawer and Shelf Liner U Do It 2022-12-30 | I built this pantry cabinet for our kitchen to give Mrs U Do It more storage. So we want to know the best way how to protect kitchen cabinet shelves. We wanted to find a high-quality slip-resistant shelf liner to protect every shelf. Our cabinet is 24 inches deep and over 25 inches wide so I needed a wide shelf liner with over 10 feet for our five shelves. I found and purchased Gorilla Grip Premium Drawer & Shelf Liner which is 24 inches wide and 20 feet long. In this video, I show you how I cut the liner and how I install the shelf liner on each shelf of our pantry cabinet.Our pantry cabinet has 3 removable shelves and 2 fixed shelves. It was easiest to start with a removable shelf as a template. I removed everything from the shelf and placed the shelf on our kitchen table. Once I opened the shelf liner roll I was able to size it up, clamp it in place onto the shelf and cut it to length. I used my Stanley Utility Knife with a new blade to cut the shelf liner. As I cut I made sure that I rested the end of the utility knife on the shelf while allowing the blade to glide along the edge of the shelf. This cut the shelf liner to the exact width of the shelf. Clamping the liner to the shelf made this work much easier since the shelf liner was nearly immovable during cutting. I got a little fancy and cut around the magnetic latches that hold the door into place when closed. The utility knife made easy work of this allowing me to cut the shelf liner in place.0:00 Introduction to Gorilla Grip Liner0:38 Sizing up the liner for the shelf1:17 Making the first cut2:11 Installing the shelf with the liner3:04 Clearing off next shelf3:30 Aligning liner to the shelf and clamping it down4:20 Making the next four liner cuts6:00 Installing the second shelf with liner6:28 Cutting around magnetic latches and face frame6:45 Lining the other two shelves and filling the cabinet7:35 Impressions of Gorilla Grip Drawer and Shelf LinerVisit U Do It™ to learn more about this installation: udoit.me/protect-your-cabinets-with-drawer-and-shelf-linerGorilla Grip Shelf Liner: amzn.to/3v5wPAqStanley 99E Utility Knife: amzn.to/3HUv7K8“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”
How to Install a Door Lever U Do It 2022-12-24 | Your choice of hardware can really make a room pop. For our son's bedroom, we love the look of oil-rubbed bronze together with the pewter walls and white molding and doors. In this video, I unbox and install the Honeywell Wave Privacy Door Lever model number 8106402. This door lever is finished in oil-rubbed bronze and features an interior lock for privacy.Our choice of the interior door was the two-panel with the curved top to give a more sophisticated look. And this style is consistent with the doors we chose for our son's music studio. As you walk through the hallway you will notice this consistent look between the door styles, molding, and hardware. We still have a ways to go since the hallway isn't complete but that is a task for another day.0:00 Honeywell Door Lever 8106402 Unboxing0:34 Installing the Adjustable Latchset0:57 Installation of Door Lever1:50 Install #8 Machine Screws to secure Outside Door Lever to the Inside Door Lever3:47 Secure Latch-Plate into the edge of the door4:00 Install the Strike Plate5:10 Apex 3-Inch u-Guard Protective Sleeve BenefitInstallationThe package contains the door lever and a box of hardware for installing it including the door latch and strike plate. Recommended tools for installation include a Phillips-head screwdriver and maybe a rubber mallet or hammer. Install the door latch first with proper orientation so the door will close and latch properly. This may require a light tap with a rubber mallet or hammer. However, use care as you can bend the metal on the Springlatch faceplate especially if the edge bore hole for the latch assembly is not the correct size. If you are installing this on an older existing door, you may find that the edge bore hole is not the correct size. For newer manufactured doors a standard size for the face bore and the edge bore is used.

Cleaning two-story gutters with a pressure washer & Sun Joe Gutter Cleaning U Do It 2022-11-18 | Keeping your gutters clean is important for the longevity of your roof line, fascia and foundation.

My problem was I had dirty fuel that sat in the tank for over two years without running. The contaminants in the fuel can clog up the carburetor, which will lead to the engine stalling under demand (using the pressure washer or having water pressure). You may have seen the video my neighbor Joe and I made when he helped me with this same pressure washer. The problem was a clogged main jet due to debris in the fuel.Briggs and Stratton Engine Parts, Supplies U Do It™ List: amzn.to/3gKph2pSmall Engine Tools U Do It™ List: amzn.to/3VZXWJATo learn more about this repair read this U Do It™️ article: udoit.me/my-pressure-washer-that-wont-stay-runningVideo Chapters0:00 Pressure Washer Starts but wont stay running0:17 Troy Bilt 2800 Max PSI with Briggs & Stratton0:35 Remove the carburetor main jet for inspection1:16 Clean main jet ports1:27 Reinstall Main Jet1:41 Start Pressure Washer2:03 Tools needed to replace Carburetor3:04 Remove Cover4:07 Remove Air Filter Assembly5:02 Remove Carburetor and Linkages6:09 Remove Fuel Line to Carburetor8:23 Inspect Gaskets and O-Rings - replace if necessary9:05 Connect Linkages to new Carburetor9:37 Install Mounting Plate & Carburetor10:28 Install Spring in correct location10:50 Cut Fuel Line for new Fuel Filter12:10 Install new Fuel Filter and Clamps12:35 Connect Fuel Line to Carburetor and Clamp12:50 Install Air Filter Housing, Tube to Air Filter, Wires to Switch15:50 Install Air Filter & Close16:05 Install Cover16:39 Fill Fuel Tank with fresh gas17:17 Check Oil & fill if necessary18:06 Connect water and Pressure Washer Hose18:17 Turn on Switch and Start20:00 Pressure WashBriggs and Stratton replacement carburetor as shown in this video: amzn.to/3TczwKLWhat Can you Check?- Contaminated fuel in the tank- Main jet ports clogged- Air filter dirty- Spark plug is corroded- Bad needle valve“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”Video Credits:Video Production: U Do It™️ Studios a Division of No Cheese Records™️ LLC All Rights Reserved.
How to make a crown molding return for the professional look U Do It 2022-10-07 | Your considering installing crown molding and you're not sure how to make a return for that professional look. In this video I demonstrate how to cut a crown molding return on a compound miter saw without using the bevel. What is a return? A return is also known as a molding end stop. A return is a way of making molding look like the end stops at the wall (or returns into the wall). For this cut I install the D1280X Diablo 80T Fine Finish blade on my DeWalt 12" Compound Miter Saw. I was able to use Jorgensen EZ-Hold clamps to create a point for the crown molding to rest against on the miter saw at the perfect spring angle. This allowed me to cut the crown molding only with the miter without the need to calculate and set the proper bevel angle.Why is this crown molding lower than the ceiling? I built it down lower so I can install lights in the crown molding as I did in this other video.
