Lol. I absolutely understand this. I need to pay handyman for putting up any selves, that’s enough, I am here to watch this video, while watching, my mind is about how many shelves I am going to hang up !!

Hahaha so relatable

Me too

Relatable 😂 That happened to me, so one day me and my mom decided to figure it out ourselves. My dad walks by and is like, "Wait, wait, no not like that!! Let me show you." So if you want dad to finally get to it, just start drilling 😂

Lol I don't know if laugh or cry

I’m right there with you, Buddy. Very thankful for this wholesome, quality content

Thank god I'm not the only one crying over this.

Honestly same here.

Happy im not the only one crying too

I dont have a good relationship with mine and this wholesome content just destroys me

I lost my dad a year ago. And I really appreciate this internet dad. Man I miss my pops. May he Rest In Peace. Learn something new everyday. :) Thank you. ❤️🙏🏽

@@ThisIsWhatISay94 sending you lots of love and warmth your way. 🤍

Dude me too

Thank you too .also a Daddy's girl . My Dad passed away when I was 14 yrs old.

Efrain G it’s 7 am. I’m not going to sleep till tomorrow. I do not need a shelf. yet here I am

Honestly, no, but honestly, I needed this video.

Same here!!

This comment sent me 😂😂

i'm dead💀💀

golden weed rest in peace

Would be great for you to develop a “Dad Box” of tools for homowners.

no no no Ikrr

And father's also need to need to not question or underestimate their children as well. My dad "tried" to show me how to do things. But he is so impatient and such a sociopath, spending any amount of time "doing stuff" with him was pure agony. He still holds on to that age old delusional belief of "i?know I sometimes treat you the way that i do, but only because I want you to be happy..." what does that even mean??? It took me years to figure this out, but I really believe that he was actually trying to ruin my sister and I. He hated seeing us think and behave like intelligent independent people. And he had little ways of.... it was like certain comments he would make that made me almost feel a sense of embarrassment for growing up... very bizzarre!!! So manipulative on a different level And why all of that??? I figured out that it was as simple as when he grew too old to do for himself, he would (hopefully) have us around to be his servants. Over the years he would make jokes about goin deer hunting when he was old and in a wheelchair. He would ask if I would push him through the woods in his wheelchair and then chain him to a tree so he wouldn't go rolling down over the hill, and then laugh... But years later... I realize that not a word of that was a joke. That was part of the manipulation. The humor and jokes used to sugar coat what were actually real details of his Utopia of a retirement. As I got much older, he would blow my phone up if I didn't answer, then leave a 20 minute long voice-mail saying things along the lines of "what if I was calling because I needed you to call an ambulance for me???? How would you like it if you did t hear from me for 2 weeks and then one day you came to the house and found me laying there all black looking and bloated with maggots all over me??? How would that make you feel??? You need to answer your phone when I call!!!" Uuugh I haven't spoken to him in 7 years and good riddance to him. He made me look so bad over the years

😂😂😂😂

Omg for me it was hanging a picture and thinking I needed an anchor. I have so many holes

Is there a video here for hanging Curtains? @simgoddess07

Thanks Isaac, I am trying to reply to most of the comments. I am humbled that this is blowing up! I honestly thought I would have 20 or 30 subscribers, so I am glad this seems to be filling a bigger need. I am happy that I can help the next generation.

Dad, how do I? I wish you all the success in the world in trying to do that

I just came here from imgur! Subbed immediately! Thanks for doing this also someone who didn't grow up with a father. Can't wait for more content!

Same here, my man, is it RBN (Raisedbynarcissists)?

@@DadhowdoI and the younger generation needs help indeed good sir!

stay strong and hope you know your worth! you are flawless

@@mish3459 thank you for your kind words :)

For me it’s the same story here. Grew up with a single mom and sisters, never had a dad and certainly won’t need one now :) I’m 19 and moving away soon, so this content is really helpful for when I move into my own place!

@@yanaruban910 And you'll be able to help your mom who raised you in difficult circumstances! 👏☮️

Same here, landgenoot I’m guessing! :) saw a post on Reddit about this channel, also lost my dad at 15 and his ‘simple’ videos touched me too

@@L0velyx Hallo landgenoot 😊!!

Off topic but u cute

@@itsnada2075 haha thanks, a liil off topic but nevertherless I take it and I appreciate it a lot

Paul O haha leuk! :)

or buying online, I doubt too many people will be going out!

Most companies won't pay out on free endorsements. In fact, that's how they thrive.

Amen!

Yesssssssss

@Dewalt

Ay!! I was raised in foster care too! 28 now.

i have parents and still feel like a well you know a not so necessary in this world

My heart is with you brother. Learning everything by ourselves is tough but there is something to be proud of

You've got this! It takes time but you'll be a DIY master in no time! It's a great feeling being able to fix things in your own house on your own. Love to ya!

Everybody, there is a lot to learn. Please don't get discouraged.

Thanks for the encouragement Rianne. 👍

I saw her post and had to come subscribe! I love this so much ❤️

@@cassidyleonard678 it was so inspiring!! I wish I had something like this before I learnt these tasks myself

Thanks Cassidy. :0)

rianne xo oh my god, yes! It would have saved so many of my walls 😅. I honestly hope he makes a million more videos.

I am sorry to hear you lost your dad Danielle, glad I could help. :0)

My father passed away a few years back too, he taught me so much about car maintence, home repair etc. My parents separated when I was a toddler so I've always kind of been the "man" of the house. I find myself forgetting some of the things hes taught me, so I've been writing them down in a little scrapbook. I know it sounds silly but it's even sillier to break down at 4am when you're trying to remember where the studs are in the walls, I couldn't remember that it was supposed to be 16 and a half inches on center and lost it lol. It's a good way to remember the little things like that and I highly reccomend it. anytime something pops into my head that hes taught me I go write it down. I'm sorry about the loss of your father and I hope these videos bring you as much joy as they do me 💖

My dad passed when I was 16. So I really appreciate this channel as well. I’ve found that so few people know how to do these things. My friend taught me how to use a drill just a few months ago.

I lost my dad back in 2017 who taught me some basics but he was our Mr. Fix It and I used to call him for simple things I needed help with just to talk to him randomly. Thank you for these videos.

Totally can relate! Mine past away 9 yrs ago and almost every day I think what would dad do now and how 😕....this feels good to learn it as a "dadvice" not only by a regular tutorial video. It feels comforting 🥰

Me too ! 56 ! Widow - then with abusive handyman for far too long cuz I needed his help with my fixer upper. He doesnt help me anyways. Fuk that. Buying my own tools & subscribing! I will find much nicer boyfriend & wont feel trapped anymore lol

The way you phrase that we women need men was unnecessary. Though I won’t hold it against you because it’s probably the way you were raised to belive. I see this pattern in older people who were sadly not taught that there is no man or woman job everyone regardless of gender needs to learn basic life skills time is moving on and our society is making moves to show that anyone can and will need to eventually learn stuff like this.

@@probablynotmoon log off

yea...some reason they think, it s a man s job, girls don t ned to learn this.....pffff....

Get it all out…. We’re in this together.

Same here. I had to learn on my own, from books or word of mouth. ( before internet!)

Yes! My late dad was actually a teacher, but between farming and teaching, he rarely took time to teach us these skills. I’m so glad to have found this!

@@kathybuttsarnold3534 It sounds like your dad was a very busy man performing his main purpose in life...providing for his family

That's great! Nice to have an honorary dad 😉

Mexican dads get down on construction they can teach you how to hang up a picture frame or build an extra room at your house lol

@@sergiotheg1736 Her dad has construction skills 'cos he's Mexican???

@@HelgaCavoli yeah

Same here! Helpful surrogate dads for the win! :)

Wow!! This really sums up my dad too.

same

for real, my dad did our whole house but never taught me a damn thing

Wow I guess I’m not alone.

I am sorry for your loss Sarah, he's a good man to have this lovely idea eh :)

I am so sorry to hear that. I am sending you a virtual hug and blessings!

Not one lie was told.

Hi! I'm not a dad but I know that curtains are very heavy, however it isn't much different from putting up a shelf without a drill. Make sure you have a stud finder, as you do not want to be guessing on where a window frame truly is due to shoddy workmanship or weird design. Might be overkill but why not be sure this isn't one of those weird times. Absolutely work with a helper. Make sure any chair or step-stool is on an even, safe surface and not too short. Use a ladder if you have to feel safe, better safe than stupid. Work from left side to right side as well. This way you don't miss steps. Left side, right side adjustment to it. If you try to adjust to much on both sides, you'l be all over the place. My steps will deal with putting up a three piece curtain rod (ie two seperate brackets and a rod) and not some all-in-one adjustable package. You need a level, screwdriver, pencil, stud finder, stepstool/ladder/chair (two if wanted), 1) Measure - Find and mark the studs. Find out where on the left side you'd like to place the bracket, use a pencil in the holes to mark it. Feel free to be messy, it's a pencil, just be clear. Get the curtain rod and the helper to place the right side bracket on the wall near where you'd like it. Put the rod on the brackets and using a level on the rod, adjust the right hand side up or down until the rod is level. Then mark the holes on the right hand side. Dad does the same with the shelf in this video. 2) Screw Holes - Yeah this is going to suck because you don't have a drill. However this can be done with willpower. You take a screw and just screw in that pilot hole like Dad did above for the shelf. However you are not a power drill with horsepower and torque, but it's going to be done anyways. You get a screw, and just screw that screw into the wall by hand. Please do not hurt yourself. If you for some reason have a smaller screw, use that to make the first hole, THEN use the appropriate screw to make the hole. A HAND drill can be purchased on the cheap almost everywhere, or found in thrift shops. However you can also pick up drills on Craigslist for C H E A P from businesses that went out or people who upgraded. I went from Black and Decker to DeWalt, and sold my old drill for ten bucks, some even give for free. B&D is good enough for most new peeps and small projects, DeWalt means you give it to your grandkids in your will because it will last that long. 3) Mount - Pop in the brackets and rod with however it works. Every model is slightly different but it should be inherent. Because you got teh holes, you don't need to work hard to get screws in. Because you levelled, the curtain is not uneven. Because you marked the studs, it won't fall! Good luck!

Yes please!

Yes!! I would love to learn.

DamienDarksideBlog Thanks a lot!! ❤️❤️❤️

DamienDarksideBlog thank you

I feel you i done the same he is our virtual dad

Glad I could help Danbi. 👍

Now I'm curious. What was you doing wrong?

@@bloginterside my guess is he didnt use sheetrock screws

hey, still quarantined or are you good?

CSDragon I found this out as well while hanging up some curtains in my home... lol. I didn’t even know how to use them when I finally got a hold of them. Knowing that Dad wasn’t just a phone call away anymore 😞 Thankfully KZfaq was there, but it’s just not the same

Congrats on the new house! My girl and I are celebrating our one year in our house, and it’s been an experience!

TheRealWallyWest that such an exciting milestone! Congrats to you two! 😁

If you go into straight drywall, you need to use a drywall anchor. You predrill a whole recommend for the size anchor and screw you're going to use. Then you tap the anchor in with a hammer lightly, and then you can screw whatever you're hanging into the anchor and it should hold unless its is really heavy.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I bet he’d be so proud to know you’re here learning how to do it yourself though, and thinking of him in the process.

I couldn't have said it better Sara! Thanks for the encouragement! :0)

So sorry for your loss. Keep learning and hopefully it can become fun!

I’m glad you’ve cut that out of your life, hard as it may be. Good luck to you!

Thanks Nilka! Make sure to pick up an inexpensive level like I show in the video. If you keep things level, it makes all the difference. 👍

Also having a helper or two makes all the difference! Having someone help look at the level, holding the shelf, or even just having a cellphone camera flashlight providing extra light can be very helpful.

Yes! Please do one on fixing walls :)
