This is the best fence job i've ever seen and i've seen a few

I've never had to scrape off dry concrete from the back of a mixer... because I always remember to put that first 1-2 gallons of water in before the first bag of cement.

if long life is your main goal why don't use metal pipes? sometimes at scrapyard you can get them for cheap. I have fence like that with my neighbor, its been there all my life (35 years), wood has been changed multiple times, but posts still solid (of course I don't know where he got them, maybe they made from some special metal)

Thanks!

I think the water is creating a suction, making it more difficult.

I agree it does look nice. That being said, I hope you don't live anywhere where it freezes. That poured block gives the ground a lot to grab onto and when the ground freezes it can heave the post.

Also you can coat tar on your posts were they contact the concrete . I like to use a 2x6 form it’s stiffer less flexing strips better& gives a bit more Heights which helps to keep the grass from growing underneath the fence from one side to the other

I am a concrete formwork, carpenter. What works for me is to put some form release oil on your forms before you pour . and then I wait till the next day after the pour to strip them. and they don’t stick due to the oil.

Waste Of Time

You can’t rein electrical conduit at that depth

No doubt this guy is an engineer by trade

I bought some spray pain in cans and hopefully I can tape it off so that I won't have to remove the door. will sand it but will not use primer. don't think I need it with the spray can paints. will see what happens. nice job.

In theory thats nice. However the ground in my part of the country if full of rocks and I cant go 2 feet in digging without hitting them.

16:33 - You got them black panthers roaming around so that's why you need that extra strong fence.

Can't they be refilled?

My yellow wood lasted about 4 years in clay. I'm thinking DIY fiberglass, rebar and concrete post

Dang almost perfect work wish you had used a metal post bracket on top of the concrete so the wood won’t rot because that’s going to be a nightmare to dig up again for someone.

Looks beautiful. I'd say better than a lot of professionals. Great job

I work with wood even protected types they all start to show decay after 10 years or so for a lifetime fence nothing beats a nice heavy gauge frost fence now they got the white ones who looks way better than wood after just a few years , especialy at the insane price off any wood products

A few things to keep in mind: 1. The only way to see if a filter is causing too much airflow restriction is measuring your static pressure with manometer. 2. A new filter might not restrict too much airflow, but as they get clogged with particles, often the higher MERV rating ones can restrict flow more quickly. 3. The primary purpose of filters is to protect the equipment, but using a Fiberglass filter as recommended by some HVAC guys, can allow more dust to accumulate in your system. So it's a balance between too little filtration/high airflow and too much filtration/low airflow. 4. If you can, using a 2" or 4" filter of a given MERV rating, will provide more airflow than a 1" filter. This is difficult for those with 1" ceiling return filter setups. 5. I have gone with a MERV 5 to 8, until I can get my manometer in place and do some testing. Seems like a reasonable balance. 6. If you really want clean air for health reasons, consider a dedicated room air filter system (the Swiss make some very effective ones, but are expensive).

It works on operating valves, what about burnt out valves or valves stuck open or the valve is buried deep or there is excessive traffic noise? A hundred bucks for a it? Why not have a person just flick on and off at the controller?

Too hard

Well when the posts rot you got more problems good thought but bad work

Can you show how you set the 4x4s on the concrete square

Well that last looks like you need to pay someone to demo it out and do it right

I'm planning on using mine for a carburetor air box on my bike when it's empty🤙

I guess everyone is different in where they choose to prioritize their time and/or money. Seems like this project was pretty personal for you and your past experiences.

This tool is more than $200! Cost less and easier to rent the trenching machine.

I like the fence, and the idea of building things to last; the HOA is a deal breaker though.

Yup I'm anal, ocd,over the top 😊 nice work don't find quality much anymore these day's

This is rhe kinda diy that i prefer just to watch 😂😂😂

You could also teach a fifth-grader how to draw a simple map that indicates where all the things are at the time they're installed. Matter of fact, that would be a very good thing to teach a fifth-grader!

This is absurd, it's insanely over built; frankly it's kinda impractical. It's beautiful never change you wonderful madman. I know what I'm doing if I ever own land now!

Are you shutting off the water to do this?

He has too much time on His hands … 😅

You gonna paint wearing them black clothes....?

Great Job!! 💯💪😇

Thats why i build manifolds to keep the valves next to each other

put all the pickets up then snap a sting line....

2 buh 4

could have rounded the edges

the reinforcement is too large in relation to the hole in the ground (or hole too small). The concrete should cover them by at least 2 cm around them. Yours probably touches the ground below.

First time I've watched this guy. Although he self-professed being Anal and OCD, I appreciated his attention to detail, and wanting to do things as perfectly as possible (but he was willing to accept it when it wasn't, which is a healthy and admirable work ethic). One question: What the heck is that giant stack of lumber for at 9:08 ?? Is it his fence pickets? Still seems like too much for what's shown built in the video unless he's doing both sides and then has more fencing to do...

Nice job! That looks brand new. ❤

This reminds me of doing projects with my dad. His attention to detail / striving for perfection used to drive me crazy. I'd always want to get the job done and move on to something more fun but nowadays I appreciate the "ocd" like tendencies and all that I learned back then. I learned a lot from this video as well. Thanks.

DIY man after my own heart! Great job, brother! If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

What would you do if you had to build a section of fence on the property line strong enough to withstand the neighbors 3 story tall clumping bamboo when the wind blows it?

Presumably, you’re going to fill in the sides with dirt so all that concern about the appearance of the sides is wasted worry.

I Wonder if this would be useful in burying 12 inches of hardware cloth along my property line to keep moles from burrowing in from my neighbors yard. They always seem to come from that direction and close enough to the surface that their tunnels raise the grass up.

I feel like this video is something a lot of DIYers need to see. The feeling is that as an amateur you're somehow ruining or devaluing the house as we learn on the go, but if you're concerned enough to worry about it (enough to watch someone put rebar in fence post footings!) then seeing how shoddy these "starter" houses are built, our over the top efforts sealing and protecting our little projects installing outdoor outlets and the like are probably actually reducing air gaps, straightening drywall, putting in blocking and insulation that actually fits the span and making our homes more protected than they came. Thanks for making this, I could listen to you talk about paying money and getting crap for it for a full hour.
