114: Fein MultiMaster 350Q Tool Review

What tool should every homeowner have? IMO it’s an oscillating multi-tool. Why? Because you can use it to cut, grind, sand, and more. I reached out to Fein because they’re one of the most respected tool companies in the world. The MultiMaster 350Q is Fein’s top of the line oscillating multi-tool. It comes with a variety of different accessories but you can buy way more for different applications. The 350Q didn’t disappoint me. It’s lighter, quieter, and more powerful than prior multi-tools I’ve tried. Plus you can get a 3-Year warranty via Fein. But this is one of those tools that you’ll have for a long time, something you can possibly pass down through generations.

112: Linda's Cracked Tile and How to Fix It

How can you fix cracked tiles? It’s not that bad but will take some elbow grease. You’ll need the right tools and this might cost you $50-$75 but that money is well spent. Remove the grout first from around the cracked tiles. Apply blue painter’s tape to the border of the cracked tool. Once the grout is removed apply blue tape to the center of the tile. Drill three holes in a triangular shape into the center of the tile with a carbide drill bit. Then pound out the holes using a 1/4 cold chisel and hammer.

111: Protect Your Home from Electrical Surges

Why should you care about electrical surges? Okay, maybe I should rephrase this question: how much would it cost to replace your refrigerator or television? Quite a bit of dinero, right. What can you do to protect against surges in electricity that ruin electrical devices? 1. Add a surge protector at your electrical meter outside 2. Add a surge protector at your electrical panel…this can cost about $200 but is worth it 3. Add surge protector outlets where your most important electronics are plugged into the wall Check out Leviton’s website for more information on devices that can help with surges in electricity http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/SectionDisplay.jsp?section=61379&minisite=10251 If you find a new product you think our community should know about send me an email [email protected] Don’t forget…you can join our free Home Repair Tutor Facebook Group if you’re a do-it-yourselfer https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/ HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!

110: AirRenew Drywall Makes Your House Healthier

Did you know your house has harmful VOCs? One way to combat VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) is to use AirRenew drywall. This type of drywall has a core that absorbs VOCs and turns them into safe inert compounds. Plus, the core and paper help prevent mold and mildew. Can you paint AirRenew drywall? Yep, it’ll still absorb VOCs after 25 coats of latex paint. Pretty sweet. The cost is about $12.99 per 4x8x 1/2 inch sheet. About the same price as a normal sheet of drywall.

105: Taping and Finishing Drywall Corners

Taping and finishing drywall corners is an art. Today’s lesson discusses how to make the corners look awesome with a few different tips. First you’ll have to choose which type of joint compound you want. Pre-mixed and setting-type joint compound are two common options. Pre-mixed mud takes a bit longer to setup. Setting-type joint compound comes in 20 minute, 45 minute, and 90 minute varieties. This means the mud will setup in about 20, 45, or 90 minutes. The key to getting great drywall corners is to stagger the mudding process.

089: Tiling with the Best Thinset...Ardex X 77

What’s the best way to adhere tile? Thin-set, plain and simple. But which thin-set is the best for tiling showers or floors? Lately we’ve been digging Ardex’s X 77 because it can handle large formate tiles that are heavy. The cool part about X 77 is that it keeps large tiles sticking to the wall and is easy to spread. The consistency should be like whipped icing, which means anyone can spread Ardex X 77 with a trowel. Check it out here http://www.ardex.com/ In this podcast we also mention Schulter Kerdi and Wedi as great substrates for shower tiling projects.

088: Cutting Drywall with the RotoZip

What’s the easiest way to cut holes in drywall? It’s not with a manual saw. If you want an easy way to cut the outline of lights or electrical boxes in drywall the RotoZip is the way to go. I recently saw my buddy Steve from SRW Contracting use the RotoZip during our bathroom remodeling video series. We drywalled the ceiling and had to cut out the areas for the lights and fan. His cuts were perfect. Drywalling is so much easier with this affordable tool.
