Live Stream Nov 8, 2021 DeWALT 12V max saw | Clogged Roof Drain | HardiePlank Install & More

Okay, YouTubers. How you doing

Tim Carter here, founder of AskTheBuilder.com. And I want to welcome you to the November 8th, 2021 live stream

So it's great that you're here. Thanks so much for tuning in

We've got a pretty neat, you know, 30 minutes ahead of us. If I go a little long, that's okay

I am going to talk at first about this very cool saw

I'll show you that in a minute. And then we're going to talk a little bit about a roof drain that is clogged

And then we're going to talk a little bit about Hardy Plank installation

Hardy Plank is the fiber cement siding. And I even have it on my own home and on my own shed

Then I want to talk a little bit about how to diagnose a tub or shower leak

And I think you're going to find that really interesting. It like putting on if you remember if you used to watch Peter Falk you know 15 20 years ago in a show Colombo you just have to put on a trench coat and you have to start to kind of think about what going on And eventually you figure out where the leak is It really pretty simple and especially if you got some really great clues And of course we also be answering your questions live You can put them in the chat box and I read them from time

to time, and I'll try to help you as best I can. But before we've got any further, today, the show

the show, the broadcast is sponsored by Stain Solver. All right, so Stain Solver, thank you so much for

sponsoring today's live stream. So what is stain solver? It's a certified organic, multi-purpose

oxygen bleach. It's a powder that you mix with water and just about anything that's water

washable. Think of all the things inside and outside your home that you can get water on

and then the water doesn't ruin it. All right? So if you can do that, then you can put a stain

solver on it. You know, there's only a few things that you shouldn't put it on, like natural wool

like lambs wool that you might lay a baby on. If you get stainsolver on that, it'll kind of turn it a funky yellow

Same with natural silk. But any dyed wool, like if you have a wool blanket or a wool sweater, it's not going to hurt it

All right. So anyway all that stuff is at stainsolver Go there Watch all the videos You be amazed at all the things that can clean We get a lot of people who buy it because they want to clean their tile grout It an amazing floor grout cleaner

Wow. And once you get it clean, you never have to scrub it again if you just follow in the video that I have there

Okay, enough about Stain Sover. Oh, first, I want to thank you. You may be watching. You may have watched yesterday the day before

and you see things that I don't see. For example, it's a long story about the earthball sign

All right. So anyway, things look reversed to me in this screen that I look at, just so you know it's a mirror image of what you're seeing

So I also, though, wonder about color. So I'm wondering, I tried to wear a light green shirt today

It's called mint green from LLBin, but I don't know. It may look a different color to you

I mean, so if you, if it doesn't look green, like maybe it's a light gray, let me know

I mean, so I'm trying to make sure that the colors of things are true

So I'm learning. This is all new to me. So it could be the light above my head that's changing the color

I don't know. All right. So anyway let talk a little bit about this wonderful DeWalt song All right So if you been living under a rock then you not aware that almost all power tools in the last 10 12 years have transitioned

to battery powered. All right. So here's a 12-volt battery right here. And, you know

I think it's because the power tool companies want to get in the battery business. That's

what I think. You know, I just, you know, corded tools are just drifting away. You know, the old

fashion corded tools. And I have to admit, I've used both. I do love the portability and how you can

just take one of these tools out and just grab it and use it. Like, turn it on. I mean, just like this

I mean, there's no cord, right? So it works, you know? So anyway, and sometimes the cord can get in

the way. But anyway, this is a really nice saw. It's very small. It does not have their traditional

seven and a quarter inch blade. It's got a five and three quarter inch blade, but it will easily

you have enough distance here to cut easily any two-by material. I don't care if you're cutting a two-by-four, two-by-six, two-by-12. It'll cut it. I even think I haven't tested it yet, but I'm pretty certain because of the five-and-three-quarter-inch blade that if you rotate this at a 45-degree angle to cut a mitre, that it'll cut completely through at a four-year-old
