I had a modular home delivered and attached to the foundation, after that point it was all my own work. I did electrical, plumbing, installed a combi boiler, water softening system, installed gas lines, etc. Here's the best part...I did all the work using KZfaq videos like yours. If one can learn by watching examples of the work and then apply them then KZfaq becomes a very powerful source and saves lots of money. Your videos are one of the best sources although I research many others too. BTW, I took the shortcut on this particular work and just added a wall mounted filter instead. Short pipe = good airflow and it's easier to clean the pipe out later.

Great video as always. I also wanted to say thank you for your plumbing videos with pex. I have a drop ceiling in the basement and all the plumbing is in there. One day I noticed the ceiling tile was dripping (and the guest bed & rug were soaked). Turns out there was a copper 90 degree turn right above that tile. Thanks to your pex videos I just grabbed a couple fittings, cut the copper pipe about 5 inches from each side of the corner and had it all fixed in 10 minutes. Had I not known about pex this would have been a nightmare. So thank you Jeff!

It merely is meant to direct air. That being said the risk of moisture from leaks is a real problem too. That air is not dry by any means.

cool video, just a few pointers, if you use a hammer drill and a 4,1/16" bit to drill through the brick you'll make a much cleaner cut or trace the pipe outside and drill through piece by piece with a 5/16th masonry bit making a circle. when sliding in the first part assemble straight pieces with tape only and feed in the required length, then you do not need to cut obstructions in the joist, finally, if the wall is not load bearing you can go through the top plate of the wall, consult an engineer in regards to load bearing walls.

Hi Jeff, PEI Canada, send plumber, provided they have their own rubber boots I'll take em :-) Should have been a plumber instead of electrical as my school trade. Million sparkies knocking about all installing solar panels, heat pumps and fire alarm systems. Think we only have 3 plumbers in the entire Province and all working on Government contracts. Annoying thing, no Home owner permit for plumbing where I live, which is a shame as modern plumbing is not that hard. Heck you only need to solder 3 connections these days (hot & cold on your water heater and the supply line conversion to PEX). Not nearly as complicated as rebuilding the floor system after they have gone.

Yeah they showed up and I went over what I wanted done and a month later kinda replaced the bathroom tub faucet and never could get him to come back. So then I tried someone else and over priced is an under statement. I sure do miss the old days.

Did you know a company that sell parts to repair a Lennox inducer? Mine have only the fan wheel broken but the motor and housing are intact. Buying the whole unit is a shame, must be someone that sells those parts.

I have been looking for a structural engineer to come and inspect my recently purchased 1883 home to also draw up plans for my sunken load bearing wall. In my city ( 2nd largest in Iowa) Not a single engineer is doing residential because they are making too much money in commercial. So I called out of town. I reach a place not far from my small town the house is in, they sent me an even closer small town guy info. That guy wants $1000 to show up and $2000 to draw up plans. Way higher than expected. The other place lost an engineer and can't do anything for 6 months. So I have a house I can't really renovate until I can repair the load bearing wall and tuck and point the limestone basement and mitigate the water coming in to avoid ruining any future work if other issues arise. The basement is so full of mold and moisture the whole house stinks so it is not like I can live there and renovate yet either. Not to mention I will have to uninstall the furnace just to level the walls as well. I could well go ahead and do the leveling myself and just over engineer it but what if it does not pass inspection? I risk ruining any drywall work. My options are to raise the wall, repair the basement rough in all the new work ( HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Which I have another question in the comments about).

If I was you I would do a cost benefit analysis on the entire project to determine if this house is worth saving. If it is then start with the foundation work. the prices are market rate and not unrealistic considering the labour climate. Cheers!

easier & more energy efficient solution: buy a heat pump dryer (runs on electricity). no ducting required.

Dryer duct work needs to be as short as possible otherwise the clothes take forever to dry.. better yet buy a LG heat pump dryer and you will not even need a vent and they are so much more efficient by about 40%

I have been an electrician since the mid 80's. There is one thing this guy is not doing or telling you to do. it is the most important part of the job. WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES. You can get cheap ones or expensive ones. They are much much cheaper than the hospital bill and a lot less painful.

You gotta be able to do everything yourself buuuuuut… regulations forbid you to do much without say so, so you’re either waiting on “professionals” anyway or you’re paying someone a cut to literally do nothing but “allow” you to change your own house.
