Just a guy from Chicago that's been remodeling homes since I was a kid. For years I would get the "Hey how do I fix the screen door it fell off the track again" or "I just got home and there's water in my basement what do I do?" So, instead of trying to walk people through it, I would just shoot a video, send them the link, and from there this channel was created.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with the world and hope you find these videos helpful and entertaining.

How to do a Roof Maintenance Check up 🏠
How do can I tell what shower valve cartridge to get ? Is it a one size fit all?
No, Kohler single-handle shower valves don't all use the same cartridge. The type of cartridge can vary depending on the model and the age of the valve. It's important to check the specific model number of your shower valve to find the correct cartridge. If you have the model number, you can look it up on the Kohler website or contact their customer service for the exact information.
Do all the Kohler single handles have the same cartridge? A friend told me I needed the part # by unscrewing the 2 screws. My Kohler handle looks very similar to this one.

No... That's not it. 99% of houses don't have this drain
Oh wow! I was racking my brain, and I tried what you did and it worked! Thank you!
Thanks for a terrific instructional video. Kohler used to offer lifetime warranties on a lot of their products. Before anyone pays for a replacement part, call Kohler and see if they'll ship you one free of charge.
Great video I have a project like this at my moms house this weekend Are most of the valves standard size?
Thank you! No, you’ll have to figure out which brand and model shower valve you have.
@@BJPoznecki thank you
I have a grey mesh looking material in my grates. Should that be there?
Yeah, that’s OK. It sounds like they may have used grills that are actually for outside that have a screen so bugs don’t get in. It won’t hurt anything that’s fine.
Where did you order the replacement piece from? The one I ordered was missing the black sliding piece.

@@BJPoznecki thank you
@@meganbeach9284 my pleasure, Megan!
A clever, simple solution. Still, watch your head going under those beams, though.
Absolutely Peter will do!
Thanks for this! I watched your video and then did it myself. I have two lights that use 3 halogen bulbs in each fixture. About 5 years ago, one of the halogens burned out and I'm just now getting around to replacing it. I kept putting it off because the two light fixtures offer plenty of light, even with one bulb burned out. These halogens have lasted me years. I did replace one bulb about 10 years ago and now this bulb. Now watch the other halogens burn out after me saying this. Thanks again.
Wow, wish I would have found this video an hour ago. Thanks!
That’s awesome I’ve been looking into becoming a home inspector myself, there’s a reason you showed up on my feed today! Ty
Thank you so much. We were about to pull our hair out and buy a new printer.
I know the feeling! Happy to help. Have a great rest of the week!
I always understood that closing off the vents caused back pressure and was bad for the system. Is that not the case?
If you close all of the vents throughout the house then yes, that will cause an issue. However, for air conditioning if you’re closing off just the first floor and the basement that will be OK.
That totally worked--Thank you!
What are my options if the screw is stripped and I can’t get it to turn with the Allen key
You’ll have to drill out the Allen screw and buy a new handle.
serious question - why don't they just make these with pex run inside the wall now? they're shielded from sunlight and wouldn't burst if exposed to freezing water now and again. They could be made in pex to copper connectors. I've heard many folks in my neighborhood cursing these things loudly because they cost a mint if a plumber installs them and you can end up with real problems if they leak inside a wall. to have that big of a problem occur from leaving the hose connected once is kind of dumb. I went to running pex to a common brass outdoor bibb with a shutoff just inside and no longer disconnect the hose. call me lazy, but in the fall, it can be 75F here one day and the 20F overnight a day or two later. you're always stuck taking the house out and draining it only to wish a week later it was still on to water.
Well, you have a great point. I was just with John the plumber for Sunday dinner and he always installs a shut off valve inside the house even with these frostproof hose bibs. He installs one of those shut off valves that have the drain port on the one side so when you turn the valve off, you can open the drain port and empty the water out of the pipe that’s after that valve.
Do they help the airflow when the door is open too? The temperature in my bedroom is much different than the rest of the house and I generally know why, it's on the opposite side of the house and two floors up from the blower so the airflow is quite low. There's a return just outside the bedroom in the wall, close to the floor. I can imagine having a vent above the door would help some, particularly in the summer.
No, it just for when the door is closed. What you might want to do is seasonally balance your system to push more airflow to that room if it’s a little bit warm in the summer. Follow my instructions in this video. ruclips.net/video/VwZpOzOBDqA/видео.htmlsi=WeG21YLKDxYleVqm
Thanks for this video. It saved me from buying a new printer.
T-Mobile couldn't help. With your help I connected my very old Canon MX922 and now I can print from my phone or my laptop. Thank you.
Excellent, happy to hear!
Really well explained. ❤
Thank you!
I am the new owner of this house. Can I still contact Schneider Electric for an insepection?
You know, I’m not sure, you would have to call their support center at 1-855-700-6000
@@BJPoznecki Talking to them right now. Am getting a case # This whole townhouse complex probably has these boxes. Thanks for your video :)
@@jjk2one Thank you I’m happy to hear you found it helpful! Yeah, they’ve been very accommodating so far, so I feel very confident they will still send somebody out to take a look at it and repair/replace if needed.
Thank you. Very informative.
This is very useful but how do I know what kind of crank I have mine has only one arm
Well, that can be the tricky part. Your best bet is to take it apart and bring it to a local window hardware store so they can match it and get you what you need. If you happen to be in the Chicagoland area, you can take it to Blaine‘s in Franklin Park. They have everything! Or you might be able to take pictures of what you have and send it to them. Give them a call. They are very helpful over there. Blaine Service & Supply blaineserviceandsupply.com 9626 W Grand Ave Franklin Park, IL 60131 United States
If i'm already remodelling the room, should I replace the 40 years old metal pipes with Pex? Will plastic make less expansion noise?
Great video, thanks for going through each step and most seems interchangeable depending on model.
Thank you for the compliment! Yeah, for the most part, all humidifiers pretty much install the same way.
i need to find mine ive been trying i found the red control thing i just need to find the switch im in texas and the humidity is stupid crazy 2nd floor super hot and it gets up up 75% humidity inside which is so horrible i bought a portable dehumidifier for 4000 sq ft house pulls 58 pts of water out of air it helps a little but i want that thing closed
It has to be mounted on your furnace or somewhere close to it. If you’re having trouble finding it, I would just disconnect the wires from the electronic damper which is the red control thing you’re referring to. By disconnecting the wires it should stay in the closed/off position. Double check the little indicator making sure that it’s at the closed position and not the open. If it’s staying in the open position after disconnecting the wires I would go outside and find the exhaust vent where the air comes in. It will be one that does not have a flapper inside of it. And figure out a way to cover that vent whether it be with duct tape or something just to seal it off so the air is not coming in to your home from the outside.
My friend had a new shower installed and they installed a Moen posi-temp and now she has no water pressure in her shower how does she increase the water pressure
If it’s a new shower and there’s no water pressure, more than likely when they turned the water off and turned it back on it pushed all the sediment that was in the pipes, into the cartridge. You’ll need to have the plumber come back out and either clean or replace the cartridge. That should fix the issue.
Mine is on a wall. there is no pipes. it only happens when it rains. I'm so confused lmao
Well, if it only happens when it rains, that actually may be a leak, and I would have a contractor come and look at it.
Thank YOU, Tank you! Great video!
🤣🤣🤣 my pleasure you’re welcome!
Thank you for your help!!
My pleasure anytime!
Thank you for the info! The issue I have is when the a/c is on, the exhaust fan is on, so the cool a/c air is being sucked outward and not really cooling the bathroom. After I turn the a/c off, a couple of minutes later the exhaust fan also stops. And when I turn the a/c on, shortly thereafter, the exhaust fan kicks in.
That’s strange. I’ve never seen that before. The only thing I can think of is they may require that were you live.
How often would you do this?
Just when it starts to smell in there.
Hi! I watched your video and it looks easy however I can’t seem to get the lightbulb out! There’s absolutely no “spring” to get the bulb out! Any other suggestions? Thank you!
Thank you for the compliment! If your lightbulb looks like the one in the video, that’s the only way they are held in place. However, what can happen is the socket that holds the bulb gets seized where it’s hard to push the spring back.
Excellent tutorial, I have replaced a few of these at home. However, you still simplified it. Took out the guess work👍
Thank you, I’m happy to hear the video was helpful!
I get the point of them but it’s terrible for acoustics. It’s like your door is still open
Yeah, I agree with you 100%! They do it to lower the cost of construction. The old-school way and the right way of doing it is to have a return for each room so that when the door is closed, you don’t need the transfer grill.
Thank you!! I've been searching for clear instructions so I could tackle this myself. This video is the only one I've found that really helped me understand how these work!
My pleasure happy to help!
Is it common for a smell to come from it during the summer?
It is a sewer pipe, so it is possible.

Man, I just spent 3 hours dealing with HP overseas tech support just to be told that I need to buy a wire for my wireless printer. Finally stumbled into this video and got it working in 5 minutes. You the man!!
Yeah, I don’t get it. I don’t know why any of the printer manufactures or T-Mobile have made a RUclips video on how to do this. Clearly a lot of people just like yourself are having trouble, and you would think that they would make their own video to help their customers. 🤷🏻♂️
I wonder if simply replacing the gaskets would fix the leak. Do you really need to replace the balancing valve? It doesn’t look to me like there’s any wearable parts inside the balancing assembly.
Yeah, you could try just replacing the gaskets and O-rings. However, a brand new cartridge and balancing spool are only $60. I would just replace them and be done with it.
@@BJPozneckiI think Home Depot got me for about $100 for both. I’m just feeling like I could have gotten away with a few washers and o rings if I planned ahead
@@terracoilGuy Yeah, but you have to remember what is your time worth. If you would’ve just gotten the O-ring replacement kit and it didn’t work now you’re doing the whole job over again. When you could be working and making more money or off doing something fun.
Did not work for me. I have T-Mobile business router and they use a Mac filter. I tried a HP printer.
I have one in the hallway as well near HVAC. And the switch does not turn my running Ac off. You're thoughts
The one in the hallway could just be an exhaust fan to remove air from that area. Sometimes I will see them near laundry rooms, where the washer and dryer are.
Should the fan in the bathroom constantly run or should it always be left on and what does the fan actually do. Does it somehow get rid of toxic air
If you have a continuous running fan like the one in this video when you turn the switch off, the RPMs drop to a really low idle to where it never fully turns off. What it’s doing is creating air circulation throughout your whole home.
Thank you !! I lost hours of my life on phone calls with T-Mobil and HP only to be told I need to buy a new printer. Your instructions got my printer up and running in less than 10 minutes. I have to thank you again, you saved me a few hundred dollars and my sanity 😉!!
My pleasure happy to help!
Thank you so much! I’ve been fighting with my printer for hours trying to get it to connect and you fixed it!
Thank you!!
