I’m impressed. You put that Sheetrock on the ceiling alone. I keep learning new tips from you.

I was going to recommend a sheet-rock lift (my husband and I used one in our remodel thank goodness) but I realized you don't have any room in the bathroom for that!

This might be a stupid question but... Why does the drain need a vent? Does it create pressure in the pipes when water runs down or when you flush?

My ignorance is going to show here. But what type of saw did you use when cutting out the hole for your vent?

@TheFixerHomeRepair 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, Eric! I call it a rotozip. It is basically a rotary tool that you can get drywall bits for. The tip of the bit has a smooth surface that rides along whatever you are cutting around and the rest of the bit cuts the drywall. Thanks for the comment!

@ericschnelten1193 3 жыл бұрын

Cool thank you. I don’t know if I’m going to replace my ceilings, but I’ve got paneling that has to come down and I’ll need to hang drywall eventually on some walls. This should work for the outlets and light switches.

It seems your good at your job. You know what to do and you are doing it by yourself. Instead of focusing on KZfaq and the viewers here, why don’t you create your own company and still call it THE FIXER INC. And, train guys like you and hire them and expand your company in the U.S., or, focus on serving one city and become a legitimate company that many people need to hire to fix their own home. If you do pursue on creating your own construction company, then you will serve your community and become rich. For example, I would like to hire you to fix many things in my house. But, hiw can I even think of talking to you about fixing my property, if you are here, on KZfaq, not having a company? You are a good honest hard working man. And, by watching you, you are really skilled to do a great job, and people need you. Become a company and contact me. I want to hire you to fix my property.
