Glad to be of service! Good luck with your repairs. All the best!

The work is done now but I plan on putting together some slide shows of the project over the past few years.

I digested the electrical code very thoroughly when doing this work. In BC, a homeowner can wire their own home under permit. This was filmed in 2019 just prior to the electrical inspector's visit. This particular foam is colored such so that the inspector can see that it's there. It's designed to slow the spread of fire by eliminating cracks and air passage between studs inside a wall. The deer are regular visitors and we are so used to them (and they of us) that I can walk up to the shed and be within 12 feet of them bedded down and all I get is a glance. Always appreciate your comments, Doug. All the best to you!

This was 5 years ago and I've since finished (most of) the house. The deer are regular features in our backyard, some showing up year after year for a carrot or an apple. The females bring their young here and we'll often see them bedded down near our shed. Not as much fun as the raccoons you have, Steve, but they'll have to do.

This was filmed in 2019 and I have most everything completed now. It was a huge project, especially solo. I was going through some old videos this week and found this. It's a bit grainy (and the volume is loud then soft) but it has character (just like me, haha). All the best and I always appreciate you watching.

You're very welcome! I appreciate your feedback. (The hat is available on Amazon for less than $30...get 'em while they're hot LOL)

@@embededfabrication4482 I don’t know. What is it in? Tractor,? Boat? Depends on the application. This is just an engine sitting on a crate… anything is possible.

@EverydayProjects it's out of my backhoe with a 4.236. It's the same engine for the most part I have to cut a socket in half to try and get the main bearing cap off

@@GardenTractorBoy Glad you’re back. Hope all went smoothly .

Dear Headcheese, You're partially right. A diaphram most likely would have remedied much of the problem, but it wouldn't clean out the small passages throughout the carb. Swapping out the whole carb is fast and the original can later be rebuilt properly (with a thorough cleaning, new diaphram and gaskets). I plan on disassembling the original and placing it in an ultrasonic cleaner then rebuilding with new parts. These videos aren't a one size-fits all solution, just one of many ways to get the saw up and running quickly. Thanks for your comment and input. All the best! Craig

I wish you every success with the injector cleaning!!

Thanks!

You should see his sister Ferrari zoom around the house!

You know me too well. That's right, Jason. Chevy did most of the heavy lifting this time. The sulfur smell is all but gone from the hot water after this treatment. Take care and all the best!

@@bellafirst547 Chevy is the best helper! I’ll pass on your hello to him 🐈‍⬛

You're right about the 10 year thing on hot water tanks. That's why it's important to have your tanks installed with a drain pan under them that a drains to outdoors.....and also to lie about the tank's age. Haha .......OH OH you work somewhere in Ottawa and I'll bet I'm in trouble now....LOL Take care Luc

@@EverydayProjects no worries me no work anymore me retired hihihi

@@OrangeismyNewGreen me so happy 😀

@@EverydayProjects me too 😎

It's important in life to collect as many doll hairs as one can. So far, I haven't got many but it's been a fun ride anyway! LOL Thanks, Kenny.

Chevy was tuckered out...he was there for every step. Amazing little cat, really. More like a dog to hang around close by than a cat.

Oh, you're clever....but you're right! All of this is to pave the way for the "Great One's" visit! haha

I've been planning an alternator video and this might just be the push I needed. Let's see what happens in the next couple of weeks. I put in a new starter a few years ago and have used it hard while trying to start this thing. Maybe it has lost some of its original power. I haven't done much to the tractor this year as so many other things get on the "To Do List". I hope to do more this FALL but the alternator install should show up soon. All the best!

@@EverydayProjects awesome it just so happens less than a month ago I commented wanting to see an alternator video. So perfect. Thanks a lot.

@@DaMan1964 320, 000 Kim’s on this engine. I would avoid solvents added to the oil to flush. Volvos are fussy engines and their recommended service procedures are best. Go to rockauto.com, buy a PCV hose kit and separator and maybe even the o-rings for the pan seals and do the work of changing all of these components. Bummer, yes. But it’s the way to go. I have all the videos on my Volvo playlist at the homepage of my channel. Sorry, but that’s the thing to do. Solvents won’t clean out the type of gunk you saw in the video, not added to the oil without risking an oil starvation issue to bearings, etc. Good luck and please share and subscribe. I have an email address in the description if you have more specific questions or want to chat. Cheers. Craig

Glad to help

Good tip on running the premium fuel. This one sits a lot too. I only use it when I visit back East once a year. I actually mailed it to myself from BC. It cost just under $30 to mail it and have a saw there instead of borrowing (not a habit I like) or renting a saw when I need one. Thanks Kenny....be good!

@@GrampiesWorkshop Volvos (and the French) have a different word for everything.😎 That engine block drain was a new one for me but so was the word contreplaque ( French for Plywood!)

The relief pressure matters. Some haven't caught it and used the new (lower pressure one). Thanks for the comment, Marc. Have a good week!

@@paulcarlson-es1gw Especially red cedar…it smells heavenly 🌞😎👍

The aluminum handle on my axe helps a lot though, you can pry apart pretty big slabs with that thing.

@@zandemen There’s a jack used by loggers that looks every bit like a bumper jack but made for the bush. It’s called a Gilchrist Jack. Very common in BC at least they used to be.

The engine is clean because I’m always in there replacing something. 😂 In another few years it will have had every service known to man. Not bad for an old fella, eh. It is always interesting to read your comments and I want to say that I really appreciate you watching and being a subscriber. All the best to you Marcel . No, I mean Jason, just kidding. I had you there didnt I?😂🎉❤😂🎉

@EverydayProjects lol yeah by the time you finish with last part the first one will be wore out

@@DIYVariety These Volvo cross country models are all wheel drive and with only a 2.4L turbocharged inline 5-cylinder engine it has more power than one can imagine. At highway speeds, I can pull out and pass quickly and there is power to spare. Truly a Wolf in Sheep's clothing. Thanks Jason. be good

@@tinkeringtaylor3053 Thank you Sir👍

@@OpenAirAdventure This video was actually made from footage filmed months apart. You’ll notice at the beginning, the intake manifold was all scruffy but the last clips show it all newly painted. I actually changed the coolant twice, once for each project but I melded the two to look like it was all done in one shot. Just in from the woodpile where I stacked 2 cords🙀👍👍

@@EverydayProjects you are a legend

@@OpenAirAdventure Yellow Birch, still green it was cut this spring. It will be good next year. Too late for the stacking competition though, rats!

@@EverydayProjects lots of time left

Thanks, Doug. There was a saying I heard years ago: "Grease is your friend." Funny but true.

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Best Wishes with your project. By all means, tell us here how it goes. It would make for interesting reading to many. Thanks again!

AMEN

@@Teerman420 This is one of the Senville units for sale on eBay, Amazon or on their own website, Senville.com I’ve installed 5 of their brands so far and all work great. This one is a 110 volt heat pump, rated at 9000 BTU with a single indoor head. Perfect for this 600 square foot cabin. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That's a good question. That's why I installed a top-quality, deep, stainless steel sink that with average use should last 30+ years. By then, maybe someone else will be replacing it and maybe changing the countertop. That said, the concrete could be re-poured along the edge if the sink did need replacing from the top, or changed from beneath without disturbing the concrete at all.

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. All the best to you!

@@redneckways1617 Good point.

@@sbellcaster This one is still on the road. I sold it just a month ago. Hated to sell it but no place to keep it. The weatherstripping on this one was deteriorating too, and the hatchback wiring ( where they pass from roof to hatch) was sometimes causing a short but I stripped back the wires and added heat shrink. All good though and it still drives like a dream 😎

@@tadsowavy02 thanks, I’ll try that. 😎

@@SDD62 These usually work for many decades. Good luck. I hope yours will work!!

@@jasonrestoule9175 the drain hose does a high loop on the side of the dishwasher then under the house I coiled it before entering the ABS drain pipe. I left the coil so that I can have some slack to pull the dishwasher out when needed. It’s been more than a year, and this has worked perfectly.

Thanks for the fast response! I ended up routing the drain hose under the kitchen cabinets (huge job), and installed the wye under the sink. I had to splice onto to 1/2 inch poly, which made a perfect high loop. My first option was tapping into the drain under the floor, but I had no room for the loop. I’m glad I stumbled on your video, thanks again!

@@jasonrestoule9175 Glad it worked out out. All the Best !👍

@@OpenAirAdventure Deaf as s Haddock hahaha everyone knows Haddock have very good herring.

🐠🐟🐡

They learn🐠🐟🐬🐳 about herring in schools

@@EverydayProjects I'm deaf and stupid. I can't spell either. Loader/louder:(

@@OpenAirAdventure never noticed 🐠your Herring seems good to me🐟🐠

I find it necessary to empty my pockets completely at least once a day. LOL I haven't used the .22 method to break concrete. The driveway was a smooth a glass afterwards. LOL Thanks Tom & Julie....Late reply....we were camping in 100 degree heat!!! At least there were no flies. Cheers

@@TomandJulieMineExploring It’s those legs and footwear that keep the ladies banging on my door at all hours. It’s magnetic😀 I hope you guys are well. Thanks for stopping by.
