Tub and Shower Grab Bars Tips

Posted on by Tim Carter

Ruth Ann, who lives in Lincoln, MA, wrote to me about grab bars.

Here's what she had to say:

"We are installing safety bars in our tiled bath, tile over rock lath plaster (1927). The installer plans to use wall anchors, not toggles or into studs. He insists this will hold, been doing it for years. Is it really OK? I did try your search engine but got no results."

I responded immediately to Ruth Ann because this is a major safety hazard. I mentioned this in my October 23, 2016 Newsletter.

Although she stated that she's got plaster and lath in her home, I don't feel for a moment that's what's in the tub and shower area. Years ago the ceramic tile was set on top of solid cement mortar that was put over wire lath. It's incredibly durable and strong. It's also very heavy.

There's NO WAY I'd ever rely on simple friction anchors that just contact the sides of the drilled hole for grab bars. These anchors are not a bad choice for an up/down force on a wall, but for PULL OUT force, no way Jose′.

The best option, if one can make it work, is to install the grab bars into the wall studs.

The second-best option is to install the grab bars into solid-wood blocking that may have been installed in anticipation of installing grab bars.

The last option is some sort of magic, strong toggle bolt that expands once it passes through the back of the drilled hole.

I like the Moen SecureMount anchor system. CLICK HERE to see all of the different styles and finishes.

Watch this video to see how beefy the giant toggle-type anchor is.

This is my favorite time of year. The eye candy around me is beyond belief.

Autumn in the Northeast United States, I'm told, is like no other place on the planet. I believe I've heard there's a part of Japan that gets the same vibrant color.

If so, those people are lucky, very lucky.

This month has been filled with travel, and another short trip to Dallas, TX happens a week from today. More on that below.

Add to that a special amateur radio event I did ten days ago and my oldest daughter Meghan, see her just to the right with the words Meghan Method over her, is here to visit right now and one can see how it adds up to one busy past three weeks!

CLICK HERE to see unbelievable fall color photos I saw on my trip up into Maine for my radio event. The colors were that vibrant.

Dan's Deck Over Dilemma

Dan lives in CT. He wrote to me overnight. I've been waiting for his question to come in for over two years.

Why?

I took this photo over two years ago and have been waiting and waiting for the perfect question to come in so I could use it. CLICK HERE to see why it was so important to save.

Dallas TX Meet Up

A week from today right now (it will be October 25, 2016), I'm typing this just after 8 am ET, I'll be in an airplane headed to Dallas, Texas.

I'm attending a special event put on by Honeywell to see some of their latest technology products. You know I'll share with you what I discover.

It's a fast in-and-out trip as I'll be taxiing for takeoff from Dallas at 7:15 am the following morning to get back to NH!

But, I was lucky enough to schedule my incoming flight so I can spend two hours with you!

If you want to attend one of the FUN AsktheBuilder.com meet ups and you live in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, this could be your LAST CHANCE.

The meet up will be at Dave and Buster's at 9450 N Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75231 at 2 pm. I need to scoot at 4 pm, so we've got two hours.

We just chit chat at a meet up and you're allowed to ask any question you want. Many are fascinated by what's behind the magic curtain of AsktheBuilder.com and how the operation works.

If you have a problem at your home, you can come and I'll try to solve it. Bring photos!!!!

If you plan to attend, let me know. We already have a group and there's room for more! REPLY to this email and let me know. Once I have the final list, I'll share my incoming flight details with you and you'll be able to track me to ensure I'm arriving on time.

If you want extra quality time, you can pick me up from Love Field in Dallas for the ride to Dave and Buster's.

New Quizzes

I promised you a new quiz with each newsletter, but alas I've fallen down.

With all that's been going on, I didn't want to rush one out the door and it not be up to snuff. Believe me, there's going to be quite a few new ones coming at you.

In fact, my daughter Meghan suggested I take these fun quizzes to the next level. I'd still do the fun quizzes but she suggested that I offer a more in-depth online study course where you get certified as an official AsktheBuilder.com Master Craftswoman or man. More on this possibility in a few weeks.

If you're a new subscriber in the past two weeks, or a seasoned subscriber and you missed this, here's an example of a FUN QUIZ.

CLICK HERE do discover the depths of your Rough Carpentry Ignorance. That's a reference to one of my most memorable college professors.

Okay, I need to scoot because it's time to spend more time with Meghan before she heads back to California this afternoon.

SEE YOU IN DALLAS next week hopefully!

Do It Right, Not Over!

Behr Deck Over

Posted on by Tim Carter
Behr Deck Over

That's Behr Deck Over on the treated wood. My left foot is what you see in the lower-left corner. See how this thick coating over the wood deck is peeling? What a mess! Once this happens, what do you do? Rip off all the wood? Do you think you can sand this mess? No way. (C) Copyright 2018 Tim Carter

"I knew the Deck Over product would FAIL at some point because it was a film-forming product meant to completely cover the wood much like a clown applies makeup to completely hide their face/skin."

Beware Behr Deck Over - It Will Peel

Dan lives in Norwalk, CT.

He emailed me overnight and needed immediate help.


His question was so good, and I happened to have a photo I took three years ago, that I decided to publish it. Here's what he sent:

"Wondering if Behr Textured Deck Over stain would be recommended on a freshly sanded 24-year-old pressure treated deck here in southeastern CT?  Some new, non-pressure treated boards were just added. Basically, all the prior stain either peeled off or was sanded off with a rented large sander.

We already bought the stain (Behr DeckOver), but I guess it could be returned.  I just read some poor reviews on Behr deck stain.  The contractor will start painting tomorrow.  Also, should the deck be treated with anything (i.e., cleaner) before painting if the top surface was sanded off?"

Dan Deck

Here's Dan's deck. Yes, the wood is different color, but he can get the old to look much like the new cleaning it with Stain Solver. (C) Copyright 2016 Tim Carter per the AsktheBuilder.com Terms of Service

Behr Deck Over Reviews Are Telling

The Behr Deck Over reviews Dan is talking about tell the tale. The deck over will peel.

Realize that wood expands and contracts with changes in humidity. This means the thick coating needs to constantly stretch.

Will Behr Deck Over Stick to Dirty Decking?

Behr Deck Over will not stick well to dirty decking. My guess is the reason there are so many failures of this product is that the homeowners are not applying the product to clean wood.

Behr Deck Over Reviews - I Was A First User

Here's the first thing that you and Dan need to know about Behr DECKOVER.

I attended the first-ever Behr Editors Conference about two years ago. They demonstrated this product in one of the workshops and asked for volunteers to apply it to wood. I jumped up like I was sitting on a spring.

Before I put the roller in my hand, I knew this product would be an issue for many homeowners.

It was thick, very thick. It was like applying a very thick applesauce to the surface.

Why Is Behr Deck Over Failing?

Behr Deck Over is failing on wood decks because it's not sticking well to the wood.

I knew the Deck Over product would FAIL at some point because it was a film-forming product meant to completely cover the wood much like a clown applies makeup to completely hide their face/skin.

ALL FILM FORMERS eventually FAIL. They fail because of what's known as the adhesive chain. CLICK HERE to read a column I've written about this unavoidable phenomenon.

As you read that column about adhesive chains, realize there'd be only ONE LINK in the chain between Dan's deck and the Behr DeckOver product.

Deck Over Failure in Rhode Island

A few months later, I had to move my daughter from an apartment she was renting down in Providence, RI. Guess what was on the steps of the small back deck? It was either the Behr product or some similar product - there's at least one other one just like it out there in the marketplace.

I'd NEVER install a film former like this on any wood I own. If you have a wretched, thick product on your deck and it's failed, your only hope is to somehow sand it off. It's going to be a mess, especially that product that's dripped down in between the wood decking boards. Forget about chemically stripping it off. That would be an even worse nightmare.

There's a very good chance Dan can get the color of the old wood to MATCH the new boards by deep cleaning the wood with my Certified organic Stain Solver oxygen bleach. It always returns old wood to its original color. The sun's UV rays discolors wood.

Driveway With Grass

Posted on by Tim Carter
driveway with grass

This precast concrete paving material allows some rain water to soak back into the soil. While you don’t see grass in between the concrete squares, it will start to grow once seed is broadcast. (C) Copyright 2016 Tim Carter

DEAR TIM: I recently saw a new paving system that I thought was ingenious. Instead of a solid driveway there were two strips of some precast concrete, each about 2-feet wide for the car tires. Grass was growing within the concrete strips and the area between the concrete was just lawn. Back by the person’s garage the entire area was covered with this amazing material allowing grass to grow where the cars would park. What is this new material, is it really strong enough to last and how is it installed? Laura S., Grand Rapids, MI

DEAR LAURA: Believe it or not the idea of just installing strips of paving material instead of solid paving for a driveway is by no means new. It was a very common method of providing a solid driving path for cars in the residential neighborhoods of many of the older cities in the Midwest. Homes nearing 100 years of age had these two strips of concrete and they performed well.

What’s more, the concept of a partial pavement with open spaces for grass or gravel has also been around for many years. There are a host of brand names for this type of paving material and there are some new twists on the original invention that have come to the marketplace. What you saw might have been one of the newest materials.

Recently on a business trip back to my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, a very good friend of mine just installed one of these porous paving systems at a small piece of commercial property he owns. The surface reminded me of my wife’s waffle iron.

If you start to do some research into these precast porous paving systems, you’ll quickly discover there are many clever uses for them and they help to recharge the ground water in and around your home and community.

In densely populated urban areas, the vast amount of roof surfaces, sidewalks, streets and parking lots drastically limits the amount of rain that can get into the soil. Paving that’s got holes in it allows lots of rainwater to soak into the soil if it falls slowly enough from the sky.

While I can’t tell you exactly what your material is made from because you didn’t send me a photo, I can say that most are made from high-strength precast concrete. All the products that come in mats or rolls undoubtedly contain reinforcing steel to hold them together. Individual smaller concrete bricks or blocks may not contain steel.

Some of the products can be ordered in different colors other than the standard light gray you see when looking at a new concrete sidewalk, street or driveway. The space and shape between the concrete is different for most of the products. Some will allow more water to soak into the soil faster than others.

The precast concrete is strong, but the thickness of the material alone is not sufficient to support cars and trucks. These thin precast products must be installed very similar to the way you’d install an asphalt or blacktop driveway. The crushed gravel base under an asphalt or blacktop drive or parking lot is what gives it its strength.

The thickness of the crushed gravel under paving material depends on the weight of the vehicles that will drive onto the finished surface. For example, if you use these unique precast concrete pavers on a golf course where lightweight golf carts travel with wide balloon tires, you might get by with just 3 inches of crushed gravel. If you want to use these materials on a city street where large heavy trucks travel, an engineer might specify 12, or more, inches of special compacted crushed gravel!

The actual installation method varies for the product you decide to use and what you want the finished surface to look like. You may desire grass to grow in between the blocks of precast concrete, but this would never work for someone who wants to use these in an arid climate where it rarely rains. They’ll probably install small colorful crushed gravel in between the concrete the car and truck tires contact.

Realize these materials get their strength from the base beneath them. This means that their long-term durability depends on how well you, or your contractor, follows the instructions for installing them and how strong the subsoil is under the surface.

Most installations call for you to excavate away any top soil that contains organic material. The depth of the excavation depends on the combined thickness of the crushed gravel, any special soil and sand mix that might be called for, and the actual pre-cast paving material. Pay very close attention to any instructions with regards to the maximum thickness the crushed gravel layers can be should you have to install lots of the material. Often it should not be installed more than 4 inches at a time.

Sprinkling water on the crushed gravel as it’s being installed and compacted might be in the specifications. This helps make it very strong, but don’t overwater it.

October 5, 2016 AsktheBuilder Alert

Posted on by Tim Carter

If you're a new subscriber this is a special ALERT broadcast. I send these out when something serious needs to be discussed.

Hurricane Matthew is going to hit the USA. It's going to be very bad.

I sent out a very similar ALERT several years back when Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.

CLICK HERE TO READ THAT ALERT!!!!!!!

Everything I said would happen happened. Actually it was much worse. READ WHAT I PREDICTED.

Look at this forecast map from WeatherUnderground. Copyright (C) 2016 WeatherUnderground.com

CLICK HERE for the full-size map.

Important Question:

Do you or a loved one live in the Southeast USA or along the East Coast of the USA?

Hurricane Matthew may rake the entire East Coast causing lots of misery.

If so, you or they need to do the following:

Protect from water any and all things that are important. Family photos, valuable documents, etc.

Stockpile water and fuel. Store any excess fuel safely. Use common sense.

If you live in an area that receives serious devastation, realize the following:

You will NOT get immediate help from police and fire departments. Your home is the LEAST IMPORTANT thing in the community.

The police and fire departments will be working to protect and save VALUABLE COMMUNITY ASSETS like hospitals, food stores, gas stations, public utilities, etc.

In other words, they'll be working on things that are important to get the community back on it's feet once the storm passes.

REPEAT: You and your home are the LEAST IMPORTANT things in the community.

You have three days to get ready to fend for yourself.

Repairing the Storm Damage

There are only a small number of great contractors who live in each community. They can only work so many hours a day.

After a major storm, these contractors may have a backlog of work that stretches for many MONTHS.

This means if you want expert repair work done after the storm, you need to hire them NOW before the storm.

This is why you develop relationships with GREAT CONTRACTORS or HANDYMEN so when you need help, you're at the TOP OF THEIR LIST.

These contractors take care of their FRIENDS and BEST CUSTOMERS first. If you're a nobody, you're last in line.

This means you may have to make emergency repairs yourself or you'll pay TWICE to have something fixed.

The first time you'll pay a LOSER contractor who may be a SCAMMER. Then you'll pay the great contractor the second time months later after the initial repair fails.

That's enough for now. If you or a loved one is in harm's way, take action NOW or FORWARD this to as many as you know that may be affected by the storm.

Remember, there's going to be THOUSANDS affected by FLOODING caused by the trillions of gallons of water that will come down from the sky.

It's not all about the wind damage, it's the vast amount of water that ravages everything it its path.

I wish you the best of luck if the storm is headed your way. You have THREE DAYS to do something.

DO NOT DEPEND ON OTHERS TO SAVE YOU OR YOUR HOME / POSSESSIONS.

I'm back home from a solid week of travel on business.

The first part of last week was the first-ever STIHL Editors Conference. I've attended countless events like this where manufacturers ply their new wares to the media.

I was on the fence about going, but I have to tell you that STIHL was the first chain saw I used. That was 42 years ago almost to the day! Since then I've used many STIHL saws of all types and have never been disappointed.

They're introducing an entire line of new tools and we were the first ones to really see them. The BAD NEWS is there's still a short embargo on what I saw, so I can't share it with you.

Rest assured you'll be WOWED like I was. I'm glad I went. One of the things during the event was a carving workshop where you use a special 12-inch chain saw to carve a log.

Here's a photo of me with Roger Phelps from STIHL. Roger is head of communications and a super nice guy. I decided to carve the logo of their new tool line. So now you have a clue of what's coming!

Dallas TX Meet Up NEWS

I'm going to be in Dallas TX for about twenty hours October 25-26th.

I was able to arrange my travel so I could spend about two hours with you on the afternoon of October 25th.

My flight lands at Love Field at 12:55 pm on Tuesday, October 25th.

I can meet you a few miles away from 2 - 4 p.m. at Dave & Buster’s in Dallas, 9450 N Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75231.

If you want to come to an informal meet up there and have a soda and share lots of stories, then make plans now to be there.

If you want to pick me up at the airport to have some one-on-one time, then speak up now or forever hold your peace. The first person to lock up this opportunity gets it.

I need to know if you'll be at Dave and Buster's. Once I have the list of attendees, I'll email you as a group about my flight details so you can track me to know that I'm going to be on time.

Please REPLY to this telling me if you're coming.

SUSPICIOUS COMPANY ALERT !!!!

Just before leaving town, I received a three-page letter in the mail from a company in Pawtucket, RI.

They claimed that I had infringed on the copyright of one of their photos at my StainSolver.com website. The truth is I didn't. The photo was purchased legally at istockphoto.com.

The cover letter was well written so as to put the fear of the Lord in you. They also included an invoice to pay a much reduced amount vs. the ceiling limit of $150,000 the Federal Law imposes. That was the first thing that tipped me off that something was unusual.

My SCAM RADAR went off immediately as soon as I read it because it didn't come from an attorney.

I decided to string them along to see what would happen and am going to create a webpage about it to warn others.

Suffice it to say that if you start digging into this company's past history online, you'll discover some most interesting information posted by former employees.

Always do an extensive search online about any company that contacts you wanting money before you do anything. NEVER send them money.

BOTTOM LINE FOR YOU: If you get a SCAM or SUSPICIOUS letter in the mail trying to STRONG ARM you into a FAST and REDUCED settlement about any topic, just take a deep breath and don't worry about it.

Real issues like this are almost always handled by an attorney and she / he sends you a letter that has their name and address in the Super Scary font. You know the one I'm talking about, right?

Whenever you get a letter from an attorney, you can tell it's from a law firm just looking at the font.

AsktheBuilder.com Speech at UC

Posted on by Tim Carter

On Friday, September 30, 2016, I had the honor to address about twenty-five or thirty people in room 201 of Braunstein Hall on the University of Cincinnati (UC) campus.

There was a mix of UC faculty, graduate students, undergrad students and subscribers to my newsletter.

Two of the professors who were at UC when I was a geology major were in attendance at the talk, Dr. Warren Huff and Dr. Attila Kilinc. It was delightful to see these two men bursting with the same energy they had back when I walked the halls of Old Tech between 1972 - 1974.

My sister and her husband also attended. It was great to see them.

I was invited to speak back in the spring of 2016 by Dr. Huff. He thought that the students and faculty would be interested in hearing about how I was able to leverage my geology degree into my non-geology career path.

The knowledge I gained from my four years at UC absolutely helped me be a better builder and it's allowed me to help tens of thousands of people to solve their wet basement, flooding, drainage, settlement, etc. problems.

Here are some photos you might enjoy.

This poster was plastered all over the Geology Building and I suspect other nearby UC buildings. It was pretty cool to see it. Photo by: Tim Carter

September 27, 2016 AsktheBuilder Newsletter

Posted on by Tim Carter

Yesterday I was traveling from New Hampshire to Norfolk, Virginia to attend the STIHL editors conference. Amber Kennedy, the PR person representing STIHL, told me there'd be six new magic tools being unveiled. That's got my attention for a brand I've used and respected for over forty years!

On the plane from NH to Baltimore, the first leg of my journey, I sat next to two delightful women, Mary and Kris. They were with their husbands coming back from a vacation in Maine.

As often happens when couples go out to dinner, these two women were sitting in the row behind the husbands so I got their undivided attention. We had ourselves a party and lots of stories were shared.

Somehow we got on the subject of my new Trex Transcend deck and I showed Mary and Kris a photo I had on my phone. They were stunned at how beautiful the Trex was. CLICK here to discover more about Trex Transcend and to see why Mary and Kris were WOWED by this amazing product that really looks and feels like wood.

We talked about Mary's husband's business for a while. They live in Port Clinton, OH, and he is a foundation contractor specializing in raising old houses on Lake Erie. Many of these never had a proper foundation under them.

He also has the expertise to move the houses on the lot if necessary for expansion or other reasons.

I'm sharing this because I want you to know that there are businesses that can lift up your entire house to level it, install a full or partial basement or even move it.

They invited me to come to video tape the process and I would love to do just that in the spring.

I'll let you know if this happens. It would be a video showing the entire process of installing the steel beams and lifting the house! How cool would that be?

Transforming Crawlspaces

Have you ever been in a crawlspace? They can be icky places. If you have one and want a full basement, realize a contractor like Mary's husband can make that happen for a price.

If your budget won't allow that, then there's an alternative to transform a crawlspace into a pleasant, dry place.

If you, or a friend, neighbor or relative, have one that's icky, you need to know that water and water vapor leave the crawlspace and get up into your home.

This is not good.

I say this assuming your crawlspace doesn't have the latest crawlspace technology.

What is that technology? What can be done to stop water from entering your home? What can be done to prevent mold spores from wafting up into your home causing serious health issues for you or your loved ones? Who does this sort of work?

Isabel's Damp Garden Shed in Scotland

Just moments ago, I received an email from a young man in Vietnam about a phantom kitchen fan that turns on by itself.

A few days ago, I heard from Isabel in Scotland. Suffice it to say not a day goes by that I don't get an email from someone who lives far away from the USA.

Isabel had a very unique situation and must live in a very grand home based on the photo she sent me.

What I looked at in the photo was the craftsmanship in the stonework just above the angled poured concrete foundation. That interface telegraphed to me the villa Isabel lives in must be spectacular.

Tell me what you think after looking at the clue in the photo.
