Very useful thanks.

Good job mentioning how the reason we are not producing much carbon emission is because we sold out our industries Rodge

Nice that

Drains are the worst source for having toxic gas fumes within. Never put your head into a manhole without proper equipment. Too many people have died due to entering manholes without protective precautions.

Why not use a pipe detector? It will save cutting pipes!

Nice to see u guys gluing your cabinets. Any ideas why no one else on youtube seems to glue them these days??

You’d think the dog would look more impressed with fantastic new kitchen.

I suppose that skirting is never coming off. But for some reason the former skirting had been removed. Maybe because of a new floor. Has the owner decided that this home will never get anotner floor?

I had several up my arse with a camera on the end,my drain engineer saved me a fortune to see if I had polyps. The rods are not that flexible,now my stools are one meter long and straight.

Feeling good about my 611 re pointing now 👍

We have a brand new home with two mira showers, they’r both on the third new mixer within 4 months. They admitted they had a QC problem.

~ Hi. I did up a historic timber frame building with a small team for a year and a half. The nature of the house " breathing " relates to the way it sat on the ground. The cellar was always very damp and the whole base of the house needed to absorb and release efficiently. All traditional materials were used and an acceptance of good venting and a dehumidifier in the cellar was passed on to the owner. French drains were also recommended. We even got an article in a classic homes magazine with the comment "Restoration done properly ". Plus an awkward photo of me disregarding health and safety with my inventive use of a ladder ( terrible angle etc ).

A dustbin full of water gets most things moving again, but probably not wedged masonry or cast iron soil pipe shrapnel... Bailey locking rods are the biz if you need a bit more flexibility.

Interesting that Roger spends the start of the video extolling the virtues of locking rods and then gives an affilliate link to rods which are the old screw together non-locking version!

That prestonett wood filler is terrible, worst filler I have ever used.

The trouble is Rog, you only have 4" pipes and someone has a 5" arse!

You aren't clear what grade NHL you are using versus aggregate to binder ratio . You start saying NHL grade 3.5 then say 5.1 which sounds more like a mix ratio than NHL 5 binder grade as this would be way OTT for the vast majority of uses in England. Later you say 3.1 and 5.1 which follows the format you are using for binder ratio in the other materials. The sand to binder ratio in lime doesn't work like OPC. The normal aim is to only just fill the voids with binder irespective of the strength required, varying the hydraulicity varies strength at the cost of permeability. Most of the sharp sand I get locally needs about a 5:2 mix and this is calculated using a kiln dried sample and measuring how much water will saturate it. A 6.1.1 mix actually comes into this ball park and isn't a million miles away from NHL 3.5 3:1 in chemical terms although the Calcium Silicate and Calcium Hydroxide in OPC/Hydrated Lime are in different forms from those in NHL so they aren't interchangeable in use.

I'd say this is more important when being used as an external render or internal wall covering. Once on, you treat them very differently. Cement based renders or plasters you would paint with a paint that is mostly plastic nowadays which is not particularly water permeable. Where as with a lime finished wall you wouldn't go near it with a modern paint.

All going so well then he rated Bosch power tools

Fc1 is far superior

Great collab, both top guys, would love to see more from both of you in other videos!!

As a DIYer, my main problem with my old screw type rods is getting the damn things unscrewed once I’ve finished with them. Go tight as hell.

No thanks not for me Let’s be honest or rather just pay someone

When I use the old screw rods I tend to put a price of duck tape round the join,to stop it coming loose😊

The worst thing is if you put your hand deep into a drain and then someone grabs it.

Great job Roger! When I rod drains and finally get the poo, etc., to suddenly “go” I always shout “Thar she blows Capn”! (From the old film Moby Dick)

Thanks allot

Thanks for the video I am less worried about all the cracks in my plaster.

Should of taped up the outside the brick work when he was drilling

Enjoyed that! 👏🏼☺️

The lead in the tracer is too soft, constantly sharpening, and the sharpener on mine isn't great, better sharpener on a cheap Faithful I've got. Going to try the hultafor next.

That vibrate feature on the hoover is pretty decent eh, glad you made a joke of it - first time I used it, thought it was broke!

Last one of these i cleared was blocked by solidified washing machine powder.

Thanks for this excellent instructive video. Watched it last night and successfully did the deed today!

That's an amazing job the only thing picked up on is I recently learned why framers use nails not screws in terms of floor boards. When the structure moves screws sheer under the stress nails bend but still stay in tact, I'd also assume the screw heads will be too rusty to take out properly anyway after a few years. Not craping on him though I only learned that last year. And that's a hell of a good job fair play just wanted to share knowledge as the channel taught me so much

A bit late to the party on this one but did you fix it Roger? I had similar recent problem but as for fluid loss, the reservoir serves the brakes also so some loss is normal as the brakes wear however, on the clutch issue I replaced the master cylinder then back bled using a syringe feeding brake fluid into the clutch bleed nipple in the line down the front of engine and the pedal returned to normal

Id also use a really good headtorch !! Shows up all the lines

Those self centring drills are way better than my cheap ones, are they branded? If so which brand? I'm on the brink of getting the skeleton jig, those clamps are such a good idea. Browsing ebay now ☺ Super informative, I've learned something, thanks.

wall insulation regs are overkill for extensions

As a 70 year old home owner it is really great to understand why we have so many problems with plastic gutters. it does not help that the concreate tiles discharge a grainy sludge into the gutters. How I miss kent peg tiles, and cast iron gutters.

Ok, a question for the brickies. Is it frog up or frog down or does it not matter? Thanks for all meaningful replies.

It costs far more to install and run than a gas boiler.

Think this works with osb3

This experiment has already been done for years, with results verified time and again and put into practice by English Heritage, National Trust, SPAB and conservators working on Cathedrals. The result is cement is very bad for old solid walls. It makes them damp and causes frassing and degredation of the bricks or stone, and also rots timber frames by retaining moisture. Look it up, there are many studies showing this, and you can see it jusy walking about, look for old buildings pointed with cement, you can see the massive damage to the old bricks or stones.

Good on you Roger getting in there and gett8ng your hands dirty!
