We always leave our hose bib half open/closed all winter to allow water to flow out if there is some still in there. If you close it completely when you do have water still in the pipe it won’t have anywhere to go so Booom goes the pipe. If you leave it semi open it allows the expansion of any water to move freely and escape if needed

Life tip, those door guards are like $10-15 each. Thriftier option is some foam pipe insulation covers, usually come in a pack of 3-4 for like $4. They come with a slit down the side and can slide right under your door and they don't slide around either. I get the 1 inch size and for $4 all my doors are sealed up.

I can attest to the insulation in Florida. We received an absolutely ridiculous electric bill ($250+ on a 1600 sqft house, no pool). We went into the attic to see the insulation was basically gone. After renting the atticat and blowing 10bags of insulation, our next electric bill was $84. It was a super fun project. We felt like ghostbusters. Definitely wear long sleeves, pants, gloves, hat, mask while using the atticat because you don’t want the insulation sticking to you and you definitely don’t want to inhale the insulation. ❤️

Quick tip about caulking, you mentioned its a mess to touch up. If you use certain dish wash soaps (believe Pine Sol is one in the US), mix it up a bit with water and dip your finger in it. The texture on your finger becomes smooth enough that you can smear it up however you like with smooth clean lines.

I tried that when applying silicon between a painted beam and concrete in order to keep water out of the gap. The cosmetic look was good, but the silicon peeled away from the beam and concrete. I will never again use soapy water when applying silicon.

@mathiashellum3618 3 жыл бұрын

@@MaMa-qh4dy Although I do not know, I assume you may have gotten some of the soapy water in behind where the silicone was intended to bond, which would create a poor contact surface. I always use minimal amounts and make sure it is never anywhere else than on my finger. I don't see how it would ruin the bond to the contact surface, as you only touch the exposed part of the silicone. Hope it helps :)

High proof rubbing alcohol works too and evaporates quickly. :) Clean the surfaces being caulked with the alcohol, apply the bead, wet your finger with it, and smooth it out.

I checked off a bucket list item and fulfilled a life long dream this year when i bought a home. It was built in 1950 so ive had my hands full and my pockets empty! Between doing plumbing, heating and cooling, along with a plethora of other home repairs and basic upkeep ....i have been attending the "KZfaq University" to learn how to fix everything myself. Saving tons of money is a personal priority too. Okay I'll admit it...i am a cheap person 😂 but as I completed tasks i developed a sense of pride...its a wonderful feeling being handy and doing the work on my own. Especially since im a city girl in my 40's. Dare i say, im even proud of myself. Now i feel bad though...and i must admit my initial opinion of you was less than desirable. Hear me out, When i began the homeowner journey last summer i saw a lot of you. Actually you were showing up for EVERYTHING as if I was only allowed to get your page. No disrespect but i tried to skip your vids because i got sick of you, lol and even tried to figure out how to block you. But I luckily didn't and Im glad you're here, i came back today to do research on winterizing the old shack and here you are again... but this time I really enjoyed your calmness and sense of humor...which we desperately need as an owner of a (relic )fixer upper ☺ what can I say, you grew on me buddy and now I look forward to seeing your goofy face 😉 thanks for helping me keep my money where it belongs, in my pocket! Along with my sanity. Keep up the good work 😍

Every time I watch your very informative videos, I’m more pissed of from this home developer who built the townhome I’m living in, it left us with so many corrections and renovations on our part, it should be illegal. Thank for your very Canadian channel.

I felt that :) Previous owner of my place subscribed to the "one tick below minimum viable" philosophy. It's ok though, with every video Jeff posts our houses will get better and better!

I'm glad I came across this video! I'm a first time home owner and I'm getting ready to turn off the outside spigot. I would have just turned off the valve and the spigot without checking to see if there's a slight downward slope. Considering how just about everything else was installed in this place, I doubt it was put in properly. Thank you for this information!
