I just bought a house that was built in 1952 and all your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful in all the DIY reno projects that I have been trial-and-erroring my way through. The information, pace, camera angles, lighting, and demonstrations that you guys do in your videos are second to none. I especially liked your video on installing a hanging ceiling, and doing kitchen wiring. Many thanks! HouseImprovements has saved me loads of time, money, effort, and frustration. I hope you guys keep making vids.

that's awesome. We try to pay attention to all details because bad lighting or audio can really take away from good instruction. Be sure to subscribe if you're not and stay tuned for lots more videos coming this year.

Thanks for the video. I bought my house three years ago from an elderly man that was in a nursing home. I see my roof vents where done incorrectly and I will get water in my kitchen every so often. This video will help me fix those. Thanks again from the U.S.

If you nail a receiver to the first shingle-cut. It will have a lip that will capture the bottom of the vent. No nails through bottom of vent once done. I use three 4” pieces of Aluminum or copper for my receiver. I nail it to roof at marked location for a 1/4 lap ( bend over ) at bottom of vent , Mark location of vent nail receiver first hanging down past your marked location. seal with putty, install vent as you have. Only difference is I do not nail vent at the bottom. I fold over 3 tabs on my receiver. Basically flat strip that hangs past vent and fold over to capture vent bottom Hope that explains to a novice. I only have one roof left to finish ( mine ) and my 40 year roofing career is done. Mainly commercial jobs. Enjoyed your video.

Thanks Shanon from a grateful Gringo. You Canadians are our perfect neighbors, so meticulous, so experienced, so confident in world class infrastructure ventures. I see your homes when I visit every part of your country and am filled with envy and admiration. Every part of your residential and commercial zones sticks out as so modern and classy compared to US, Europe, Australia, Japan. Non like some of our run down dilapidated, boarded up , 3rd world areas. .

We thank you for the compliment... but believe me when I say we have a long way to go. Stay in the right areas and everything looks great, but go looking for dark places and you can find them here, too. Naturally, we have a pretty wide spectrum when it comes to economic status, but we try to reduce poverty as much as possible with social programs. Not everyone agrees, although it's shown that reducing crippling poverty has benefits that can actually reduce the overall cost of things such as crime and mental health. Help others and you will help yourself :)

Dude I loved how you used a square and a little piece of plywood to cut on it makes nice looking work it’s how our younger guys need to do it until they get better at making straighter freehanded cuts without also cutting through the finished roof ;)

I underestimated how much was going to come out... and I didn't have gloves on... and I didn't have a cloth or paper towel... and my spouse didn't appreciate my disturbing her hammock nap as I yelled at her in a panic to climb the ladder with paper towel to throw up the roof to me.

Make sure you don't cut into any rafters under the decking. You can drill 4 pilot holes at each of the corners of your needed opening from the underside of the decking and then saw from above. Sawing from the inside means having to cut holding the saw above you- not the safest or easiest position.

@hackiehackerson 11 ай бұрын

most of us would just set our circular saw depth so cutting below the plywood would be an impossibility

Nice work. I have a leaking vent and wonder if it needs to be replaced and I would have to replace those shingles at that level and above or could just use better roof silicone adhesive or tar at the bottom lip where it is coming in by the vent hole. It is only one out of about 6 that is doing this. I would have thought it would have some better design with a dome. Just seeing it from the inside where the insulation in the attic was softned.

Why did you run sealent on the bottom edge of the vent? If condensate builds up it has no where to go but pool and get back into the attic... Seems to me it would have made more sense to leave the bottom edge of the vent free to allow condensate to run out and away. Does this style of vent act differently then say a bathroom or cooking shroud vent?

Thank you for the video, very informative. At 9:10 you put a shingle edge (left side) over a nail in the previous layer. Since the shingle edge does not keep water from the previous layer in the joint area wouldn't this be akin to putting in a shiner and thereby allowing water to pass over and seep through that nail hole below the shingle edge?

what will hold the bottom of the vent down then?

@MelancholyMasochist 6 жыл бұрын

A good vent that is metal and not plastic and an adhesive that doesn't get brittle and crack. Three nails through the top of the vent that will be covered, a nail on each side but not in the metal just use the head of the nail to pinch down on the vent and a little bit of pro flex sealant adhesive. I didn't have a single vent come off during hurricane Irma.
