Super helpful. Thanks!

I'm back and very happy to report that your technique worked! It took several screws, but I found and stopped several squeaks! Pure genius!

I LOVE THESE THINGS! CUT MY TIME FROM 3 HOURS TO 1 HOUR! i USED THE DOUBLE METHOD. GREAT RESULTS!

Thanks- now I don't have to buy the fancy little special tool. Uh oh...wife saw me watching this...now I HAVE to do this!

Thank you...I needed this

OUT STAND ING!!!!!

You can only "burn" an inch if you are measuring less than a foot or if someone else holds end. You didn't mention when purchasing a tape make sure the hook is perfectly flat. I see too many with slight bend making measuring off. The tape that you showed with the 1/8" 1/2" etc markings is the best for amateur DIY. Helps them learn accurate measurements instead of saying " 5 ft 1inch and 6 little marks" the rivets loosen through abuse only, letting tape go full speed in from full out, dropping, throwing other tools on it. I have been woodworking for 50 years and have tape measure I still use that are that old. A metric one is needed, in Canada especially, most all building products are sold in imperial. You showed measuring on the wall but you let the tape sag causing the measurement to be off. Also using the body off the tape for inside measurements is also an option, most all tape bodies have the width marked on it.

tks!

so what happens when you use a 2x6 instead of a 2x4

Why do you have a space between the foundation wall and new wall stud?

mmmm... pie

Unfortunately didn't work. The drain is perfectly clean and the entire shower area is too. Can't even imagine where the problem is .

If I'm not mistaken, this method will produce a gap of 13.75" between the first and second stud which means 15.25" on center for that first section.

I guess this guy doesn't do any more videos?

Thank you for this video.. trying it right now and will definitely update.

Great information! Thanks!!👍😀

OK. I'm confused. If you measure from the edge of the board and put it center then you attach a board at the beginning, that would not be 16" on center to the next board. Sorry I'm new to this

We have one the same. It tends to struggle to pull 18mm hose even though it is rated for 60m length of 18mm hose. The plastic gearbox is just not up to the job.

AMAZING. I've been trying for months to get a few horrible stains out of my carpet. Tried oxiclean and other solutions but nothing worked. Stains went from purple/black, to blue to green. Followed the directions in this video and the stains are GONE! Thank you!

Good video!

Thanks---really helpful video

was freaked out a bit until i saw this...thank you!

Want to give this a try but unsure if its safe with a marble shower. Doing some more research.

how can I measure straight when measuring horizontal lengths? I'm trying to measure cores and I'm always off

you resolved my issue in an instant.. thanks... !!

ok, we are new at hanging doors. we tried to hang a door with shims and nails. That was a problem. We then were told to try with shims and screws. But before we could try that we found out about this little gadget. We tried this method and it worked like a charm! We have frames that are very crooked in this old house. We were able to adjust using just the screws on this little bracket. There are extra steps in this video I see, but we did not use the extra steps. ( attaching extra brackets and bending them ). I can see the use for them but at $7.50 a pop, we were not going to use the extra. For us amateurs this was a great video and a terrific gadget. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip Bob. I'm about to finish my basement and this information will make a big difference as to the straightness of my walls.

? all joists run in the same direction in all the room or could go different thanks

great tips for carpet cleaning at home

Is there a non conductive type foam made to spray in the actual outlet that will block the draft by filling the entire inner outlet box? These foam shields are an improvement but not a complete fix.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the first on center occur at 3/4? If you add 16 to that you get 16 3/4.for your next on center. Measure 3/4 back and you get 16 not 15 1/4.from the end of the plate to the beginning line. The first line should be at 16 and then put the stud on the correct side.

I'm working on a drywall project right now. I have a finished staircase or what will be a finished staircase. I have right triangle pieces where I am getting late spaces. I have done just a simple math equation of two measurements and getting X. I have tried measuring each stud and bottom to top to get the angle for some reason there is still about a one inch space. The last I tried was a template with cardboard but due to the right space could not get a proper template. Please if you could make a video on how this is done. What tools, best practices, I have looked all over KZfaq and I can only find the basics or the stuff I already know.

What do you do if you have stop, and the PVC hardens, and the wire gets stuck?

Get one mark, either from common layout or from a made up layout like in the video. From that mark it's 16 fall ahead or 16 fall back(with the X) depending on which side of the stud you marked and pulled from. Every stud will be on center, just as accurate and faster. This is rough framing, not piano building.

Who would purposely buy these stupid things? I have to deal with these ugly things because my landlord has them in the stupid apartment.

Sweet tip cheers

One substitute to all those tapes: CM!

good method, thank you

Can you tell me what the music is at the beginning of the video please!? Thanks!

I used these and the wall started to crumble and it just left a giant hole in my wall. I don't understand what I did wrong?

Best how-to I have ever watched. Good quality video, good instruction, saved all the bs til the end instead of putting it up front. Subscribed. keep it up.

What brand of the poly sheet is used in this video? What type of adhesive is used? Water-based? Is the brand Americover?

thanks bob. Such a simple explanation. Might not solve my problem, but the way you explained one cause is very helpful. keep it up

I like the videos. Well done!

I frame 4x4s 8feet on center Max. 4 feet is stronger.

Hey Bob thanks a lot for your tips and knowledge!! I just fixed a door in my house and it needed exactly all the steps in your video, even the little pieces of wood to get the screws to tighten again. I love all your videos, they're easy to follow and very well explained!! I like that you also explain the DONT'S and what could happen if done wrong. Great Job Bob! Keep them coming!!

Thanks!

Thanks!!!!

Ehhh, Keep your metric. I don't live in the rest of the world. I'll stick with imperial.
