Two Steps Behind Def Leppard

Two Steps Behind - Gives the Band A Breather

You don't need to be a jeanyus to realize that rock bands often need to slow the pace of the show so they can catch their breath.

I saw Def Leppard in concert about twelve years ago and this is a great song they do after getting a sweat going!

And here's another great slow Def Leppard song:

While we're at it, here's another slow-dance song:

"Dear Tim,

I need to know if I can create an opening in a wall in my house so two rooms sort of become one. What kind of beam do I need and how do you go about installing one?"

or how about this one:

"Hey Timbo,

I want to build a retaining wall about seven feet tall. What are the chances of it tipping over on me in five years?"

What do you think it costs to have a residential structural engineer come by your home for a consult and educate you on what to do so you don't have a structural failure?

$200, $300, $500?

What if I told you there's a good chance you could get most structural questions you might have answered for just $7?

Yep, SEVEN US Dollars.

Magic Wand Stucco Crack Repairs

cracked stucco wall

Magic Wand Stucco Crack Repairs | This cracked stucco can be repaired with a moderate amount of effort. (C) Copyright 2019 Tim Carter

DEAR TIM: I’ve got a mess at my home that’s driving me crazy. My 3-foot tall concrete block foundation was coated years ago with a thin coat of cement stucco. There are countless cracks in the stucco coating that outline many of the blocks. I’ve tried caulking the cracks before painting but they always seem to return. Is there a DIY solution I can attempt to solve the cracked stucco once and for all? I’m pretty handy and not afraid of a challenge. Just keep your mansplaining to a minimum if you can. Just kidding! I’ll take any and all advice you can offer! Vicki LaP., Toms River, NJ

Stucco cracks can be quite common. Cement stucco is normally just a mix of sand and Portland cement. This rock-hard building material is unforgiving to any sort of stretching or tension movement. On the other hand, if you try to squeeze stucco or concrete it’s normally ten times stronger than if you try to pull it apart.

Let’s assume you’re as industrious as Vicki. The good news is you might be able to recoat the concrete block with new stucco and be quite pleased with the results. Your chances of getting professional results improve dramatically if you can recruit some help from your husband, wife, or friends. While no one aspect of the repair job is hard, an extra set of hands and back muscles will come in handy.

How to Work with Stucco

I’m going to assume you’re a stucco rookie and have never worked with the material. Fortunately, it’s quite forgiving as you can do all sorts of texturing to mask your inexperience. While texturing is in itself an art form, you can achieve an interesting look with rough brush strokes, a sponge and even round brushes.

The first thing I’d do is build a small test wall using some 2x4 studs and one sheet of 4x8 oriented strand board (OSB). Stand this up on its side so it’s only 4-feet tall and put some diagonal supports so the low wall doesn’t blow or fall over. You’re going to stucco this test wall to gain some experience.

In my opinion, you need to be sure when you do the real repair on your existing stucco you make sure the new stucco doesn’t bond with the old stucco. A simple sheet of 15-pound tar paper put on top of the old stucco will act as a crack isolation membrane. We want the new stucco to be a pseudo rock cloud that will float on top of the old stucco as crazy as that sounds.

How to Install Tar Paper

On your test wall, use a few roofing nails to install tar paper on the OSB. You don’t need too many nails, just be sure the paper is laying flat with no bubbles. The first piece starts at the bottom and each higher piece overlaps the sheet below by three inches.

You’ll now cover the tar paper with a galvanized expanded wire lath.

You can buy this in rolls and be sure to wear heavy gloves working with it to avoid cuts to your hands. There’s a distinct way it’s installed so that the slanted parts of the mesh as you look at them from above slant back in towards the wall. The design is a miniature french cleat where the fresh stucco is locked into the mesh and can’t slide off down the wall to the ground. Believe me, it will make sense when you see the mesh.

Attach the mesh to your wood test wall using galvanized roofing nails. Be sure you nail into the wood studs behind the OSB. When you apply this mesh to your existing stucco, you’ll be drilling 1/4-inch holes with a hammer drill and using anchors, screws, and washers to ensure the mesh will never come off the concrete block. Put the fasteners every 16 inches on center horizontally and every 24 inches vertically. Stagger the fasteners each row.

Now comes the fun part - applying the stucco! You can discover all sorts of recipes for this material, but I’ve had the best success with this one I developed:

  • 1.5 parts Portland cement
  • 0.5 parts of hydrated lime
  • 4 parts medium or fine sand depending on the final texture

Blend these materials together dry at first. Then add clean cold water until you get the mix the consistency of stiff applesauce. You then trowel in onto the wire mesh so it fills the mesh and covers it by no more than 1/4 inch.

How to do a Stucco Test

Do your test in the shade so the stucco doesn’t set too fast. Don’t add more water to the mix if it starts to harden. Mix only as much stucco as you can apply and finish in about 30 minutes. Practice swirling the stucco with a wood float and experiment with textures.

You’re going to discover that it can be boatloads of fun to tackle this project. Guess what? You can colorize the stucco too! You can add dry-shake pigments to the mix to create just about any color. This means you never have to paint the new stucco. I’d love to see your photos. Send them to me via the Ask Tim page at my AsktheBuilder.com website!

Connecting Light Fixtures

Last week a woman left a comment on a video I recorded about four years ago. CLICK or TAP HERE to watch the video.

connect light fixtures

It turns out the woman wanted to know how to connect a few of these fixtures in a series instead of having just one fixture come on.

Rather than go through a lengthy explanation, I tried to nudge her to use her critical thinking skills to figure it out herself. I told her to look at the image you see above and think about WHAT you'd connect to the second brass and silver screws.

Well, wouldn't you know it, but she got pretty snarky with me and let me have it in a reply comment.

I'm big on critical thinking skills and doing all one can to hone them. I do it each day myself when confronted with a problem.

I'll bet you have no problems at all figuring out how to daisy chain two, three, or more of the above fixtures so they all come on at once when you flip the switch. Right?

Hurricane Dorian - More of the Same

Hurricane Dorian is posed to rake the state of Florida with fierce wind and rain. It's going to be epic.

After ravaging Florida, it could go into the Gulf of Mexico, re-strengthen and hit land again along the Gulf Coast.

Here's what we know FOR A FACT: Dorian will then ride up the East Coast across 1/4th of the USA and dump billions, possibly trillions of gallons of water onto the land.

Do you live where it floods? Does your basement leak water when it rains? Do you have any issues with leaks when you get storms?

NOW IS THE TIME - I mean TOMORROW - to get any valuable and one-of-a-kind items out of harms way. Use critical thinking skills to determine WHERE to store them.

If your home is in the path of Dorian, realize that your first responders will probably not be there to help you. They have other community assets they have to protect and restore that are MORE VALUABLE than your home.

There could be 10,000 houses damaged and needing help, but only 100 fire trucks in a 40-mile radius. Get it? You will be ON YOUR OWN. GET PREPARED NOW to do emergency repairs.

Donna's Strange Sewer Gas

I told you last issue that I'd share Donna's issue. She's got a perplexing sewer gas issue in her home. It only happens, so she told me, when her AC or furnace operates.

I told her that the odor could be mold spores that are being ejected as the fan motor disturbs mold inside the A-coil or in the pan that catches the dripping water that condenses on the A-coil on top of her furnace.

It could also be mold growing inside the condensate drain line. Mold can also be inside her extended plenum.

When you smell sewer gas, start keeping a detailed journal of when you smell it, where it smells the worst, what's happening, are windows open or closed, etc. These details help me solve the problem.

Google Fi

I'm not a cell phone expert. But I can offer to tell you HOW to save some money. A month ago I switched from T-Mobile cell service to Google Fi.

It appears I've cut my cell phone bill by 50%. Google Fi uses, when it can, local WiFi to make phone calls using VOIP. It also has some arrangement with many/all of the major cell carriers so when I'm away from WiFi my phone switches automagically to the best cell service my phone can reach.

So far, I'm pretty darned happy. I have a PROMO CODE you can use to get a discount if you're thinking of switching away from your provider. Here it is:

All I want to share is that if you EVER HAVE AN ISSUE with ANY PRODUCT, STOP using it and call the manufacturer. Find out if you're doing something wrong. Don't allow your ego to get in the way.

Research Help

I've just started an interesting new book project. I can't share the topic publicly at this time.

You may be a person that loves to do some research and find things. If so, I'd love to see if you're interested in pitching in trying to find some things that are out in the literature.

There's no real budget for this as this project is probably going to cost me money, not make it. You would be prominently mentioned in the credits, though.

If this is of interest to you, let me know and I'll share details of what's going on. I will expect you to keep the subject of what I'm doing confidential.

Vinyl Siding Trim – Use Different Colors

flat white trim vinyl siding

Vinyl Siding Trim | The flat white trim next to the window has a pre-cut groove in it that laps over the vinyl siding. Did you know you can paint vinyl siding? (C) Copyright 2021 Tim Carter

Vinyl Siding Trim - The Devil is in the Detail

  • Wide variety of trim types and styles
  • Door surrounds are remarkable
  • Lots of attic ventilation louvers
  • Spend hours looking at online house photos

QUESTION #1: The house I grew up in had vinyl siding and the trim around the windows was some thin distasteful vinyl that had an end profile like the letter J. I thought it looked abominable. How can you make the vinyl siding look more like a traditional home that has wider trim pieces? What else can be done to make the vinyl siding look more attractive? Beverly T., Ft. Wayne, IN

Can I Mix Colors of Siding and Trim?

Yes, you can and should use different colors of vinyl siding and trim. The look can be stunning, even if it's just white trim with a different color siding.

Holy tomato! It’s impossible to list all the vinyl siding accessories and options you have available to you. For starters, don’t think that you have to use just one color and one siding style on your home. Quite a few homes I see are incorporating white trim with two complementary colors and siding profiles.

How Can I Get Inspired and Select the Right Colors?

If you want real inspiration, go online and look at photos of the paint schemes of some of the grand Victorian Ladies. Some houses incorporate three, or more, colors. I had horizontal lap siding at the last Queen Anne Victorian home I built for my family, but up in the gables I used traditional cedar shakes as was found on many homes built in the late 1800s.

CLICK or TAP HERE to get FREE BIDS from local contractors who can install vinyl siding.

Can You Mix Different Textures of Siding?

You can achieve this same look with vinyl siding and the vinyl shakes can be a different color! But it gets even better. J-channel is still available, but the better choice would be a flat trim board that surrounds windows and doors. These flat boards come with a rabbited edge that creates a hidden recess for the siding to slide behind. It works the same way the older J-channel works but it’s so much better looking.

Is Flat Window and Door Trim Available in Different Widths?

The flat trim boards come in various widths. The wider boards work better at the outside corners of the house as it’s important to maintain scale when trimming out a house. The narrow trim boards used around windows and doors would look like pinstripes at the corners.

Are Vinyl or Urethane Door Surrounds a Good Idea?

Don’t forget to look at the striking door surrounds that will really make your doors the focal point of the front and rear of your home. Some are simply breath-taking. You can now get gorgeous mounting blocks for exterior lights and electrical outlets that also have built-in channels on the edges. These really dress up the look of a vinyl-sided home.

Do Attic Vents Come in Different Colors?

Attic ventilation comes into play here too. Older homes always had square, rectangular, or triangular louver attic vents in the gable end. Those same vents are all available for vinyl siding and once again, don’t be afraid to make them a complementary color. Color experts might agree that these should match the trim color around windows and doors. Study the vinyl siding brochures and you’ll see what I mean about using a different color.

round green attic vent

Here's a forest green attic vent. You can get all sorts of shapes and colors. CLICK or TAP HERE to see for yourself.

Where Can I get Vinyl Siding Color Ideas?

I would spend lots of time looking at the photo galleries at all the vinyl siding manufacturers’ websites. When you see a particular photo that puts your head on a swivel, study it and take notes as to exactly what you like about the photo. There’s no need to hope your new siding will look great. You can guarantee it by just finding a look you know looks superb.
