DIY Heat Pump Wood Privacy Cover Made Cheap Instructional Tutorial [Heat Pump Wood Privacy Cover]

I made this DIY wooden cedar fence slat heat pump privacy cover on the cheap using two different widths of slats to break up the pattern a little bit as well as leaving approx 1″ gaps in between to allow for air flow. For supplies this project took a couple eight foot 2 X 4’s which I cut in half to make the four posts for which to nail the cedar slats to. Then it took a bunch of 1 X 6 and 1 X 4 cedar fencing slats. I used some self tapping screws that bury the screwed when fully inserted. I also used a battery operated craftsman brad nailer to tack joints together until coming back around and using the fasteners to permanently screw it all down. Once built and assembled we stained it with one coat of valspar satin finish polyurethane.

CVT Bachelor Summit Rooftop Tent

This rooftop tent is totally slick. I had never set one of these up before and was amazed at how it folded up into such a small area. This was incredibly easy to set up and was also very spacious when I crawled up in there. This set up belongs to a friend of mine and he asked me if I could help him sell it so I figured I’d make a video of it as I set it up to post for sale.

Just like that that’ll get the top of this all cleaned off it looks like it’s had a couple patch jobs done to it so i’ll redo the cover on there just from the sun down go ahead and pull the straps all the way off and pull the cover off this thing come around to the other side here it’s got a little flap here and then it’s run all by you can see underneath here it’s all run on there by a zipper, just unzip that thing Same goes for the front walk around this corner here. Right there now we’re loose there another zipper here maybe no okay it’s just gonna flop over then cool yep so we’ll just peel it off this way it’s got the ladder it’s got the ladder in it already that’s nice. It’s looking pretty slick. It looks like this just folds out this way progress so far let’s take this undo those straps and fold it out right down on the front here it’s got a couple velcro straps holding it down and there’s two velcro straps on the back too okay so i just took this thing and just pulled it up just kind of unfolding it here all right either way here’s kind of the idea let’s get the tent unfolded just in half it’s got the ladder under here it’s being held up by a little there’s a ladder going up to it. Now while we’re under there i crawled up in there and just pulled this metal piece out kind of holds that flap up right there i’m gonna go ahead and crawl up the ladder as if i’m getting into the thing actually i’m going to try to get into the thing. I’m in here underneath the cover it’s got a zipper that holds this on. There’s the inside that’s cool. Crawl up in here. It’s got a nice little foam pad in here oh yeah this is cool this is great you could fit uh you could fit two people in here easily. That’s nice i’m laying on my back i can barely even touch the roof that’s nice got some windows here. There’s where i came in out here i could fully stretch out i’ve got tons of room in here. A little sunlight in here and then you can take the rain cover off too see the stars at night and it’s got another window over here on the right so you get a lot of breeze going through here if you want and another window up there. The frame on this thing it’s working just off a pivot system right there all these things just kind of collapse on themselves when you fold it.

DIY Exterior Home Window Shutters Made Inexpensively With Metal Accents [DIY Window Shutters]

You can use cedar fence slats like I did or you can also use pallet wood. I made a few pairs of these using 5 1/2″ wide by 6′ long by 5/8″ thick pieces purchased from Lowe. I had to spend some time sanding them but it was well worth it. We used popsicle sticks to get the proper and even spacing. This was a good excuse for me to also pick up some dewalt clamps to build these. Although I used my craftsman cordless brad nailer to put these together, you could use screws or even hand nail them together. I’ll post the link to the decorative metal pieces we hammered into the cross members of the shutters. These were quick, cheap, and easy to make.

DIY Woodworking Making Cedar Garden Planter Boxes | Easiest Raised Bed Design [DIY Garden Planter]

Gardening season is upon us and its time to grow your favorite crops in using this super easy raised garden bed design. I happened upon some scrap cedar from one of the local fencing places and made a couple of these for relatively free. You could get by with just a table saw and some screws if that’s all you had and you could wind up with the same product. I like to use a combination of a table saw, chop saw, brad nailer and cordless drill with a few self tapping screws to hold the corners together for the long term. Not shown in this video is that I started using Romex wire staple type fasteners to hold the boards up against the frame. The brad nailer will hold just fine as the force of the dirt, when filled, pushes out against the boards so they won’t as easily come loose but the Romex wire staples or some small wood screws or nails will work even better. This simple design is one that most inexperienced folks can use. The steps are as follows:

Cut four 2 X 4’s to 30″ in length
Using a table saw, rip those in half, lengthwise making 8 pieces
Cut 45 degree corners on all pieces
Using table saw, cut notch (ledge) into each piece
Nail corners together making two full picture frame structures identical to each other
Cut 16″ wood slats
Nail slats into identical top and bottom frames
Using self tapping screws, screw into the corners

Now just fill it with topsoil and plant your favorite crop.

AGPTEK A19X MP3 PLAYER Unboxing, Demonstration and Review [A19X MP3 PLAYER]

This AGPTEK A19X MP3 PLAYER performed very well. I was able to successfully download and transfer music to it. It is blue tooth capable so I was able to play music through both a portable speaker as well as wireless headphones which was really nice. The ear buds that came with it work really well and were nice and loud. It comes with a usb cord for charging and file transfer. The battery life on this is outstanding and very long lasting. I played this straight for nearly 8 hours and it still had well over 1/2 the battery life showing.

Yamaha TW-200 Carburetor Disassembly and Adjustment

This Yamaha TW-200 needed some carburetor work as it would have a hard time starting and idling once started. It also leaked fuel on the ground if I forgot to shut the petcock off, which, of course is always a good idea no matter what. Before fixing the carb issue, once I was able to get it running, it would have no problem staying running but getting it to start back up again was a bear especially if out on the trail. I had to bump start it quite a few times. Once I went through all the troubleshooting steps shown in the video it now runs like a champ (like it should). So very happy about this and it wasn’t as hard or complicated as you might think. I just need to make sure to allow myself time to do a thorough job cleaning it out and making sure it all went back together properly. I was initially a little intimidated by the throttle cables and adjusting them but I was dead wrong because it was really easy.

How to Adjust Fuel Air Mixture on a Yamaha TW-200 Motorcycle Carburetor

This adjustment set screw for the fuel air mixture is located on the very bottom of the carburetor on this Yamaha TW-200. The manual says to screw it in all the way then back it out 2 to 2.25 (two and a quarter) turns for proper fuel air mixture adjustment. I used a cordless drill flathead bit to do this and made a mark on it once it was bottomed out. This allowed me to track how many turns exactly I was backing out the set screw.

How to Remove a Yamaha TW-200 Motorcycle Carburetor Float and Float Pin

Is your Yamaha TW-200 leaking fuel? Does it have trouble starting? This one was leaking fuel if the petcock was left on and it would also have issues idling even though it would start with the choke on. After I took the carburetor apart and cleaned out the float, bowl and the jets with carb cleaner and put it back together, it ran just like off the showroom floor. When removing the float it’s important to take great care in not bending the tabs on the float and also to be sure to remove the pin towards the arrow on one of the arms that holds the pin in place. It takes some work to get this out. They do make a tool that assists in removal of these but I didn’t have one and carefully used a finishing nail and small hammer to tap it out.

American Tactical Brand .410 Nomad Break Action Shotgun that Hammers [American Tactical Nomad .410]

I unbox and shoot this American Tactical Brand .410 Nomad Break Action Shotgun that Hammers [American Tactical Nomad .410]. This has a nice camouflage pattern and is very lightweight. Shoots one round at a time. Great little shotgun. The break is released by moving the trigger guard towards the butt of the gun. This will allow you to pop a round in and out of the barrel. It also has a hammer feature that must be cocked in order to fire. This is such a good little varmint rifle to shoot and is very simple and safe to operate. Perfect for the beginner with almost no kick, it’s barely detectable. Most people who shoot this respond saying “There’s no kick!”. It’s a single shot…one round in, one round out type of rifle. The muzzle breaks by pushing the trigger guard forward. Cool design too at an affordable price. No regrets at all on this purchase.

DIY Toyota Tacoma Headlamp Changeout Process and Upgrade [2006 Toyota Headlights]

This video shows you the simple process of replacing your headlamps on a Toyota Tacoma. I had just completed shining up the outer headlamp surfaces (see my video on this) with a 3M brand headlight restoration kit but wanted to further improve my night driving visibility. It had gotten so bad that we couldn’t barely make out the white line on the side of the roads in certain areas that were not otherwise lit up. The new headlamps are “100%” brighter according to the packaging and cost around $50 at the local NAPA auto parts store. Between cleaning and polishing the outer surface of the headlights and changing out the bulbs, the night vision while driving has improved quite a bit. I was glad I went with the 100% brighter as they actually were not as bright as I thought before installing them. I didn’t want to be the jerk out there whose headlights are so bright it appears that the high beams are on. This is not the case with these just in case you were wondering. The new headlamps come with a 3 year warranty as well so I keep the receipt and old headlamps (for backups) just in case I needed to cash in on that warranty. The steps for chaining this out are very easy and are as follows:

No tools necessary…..

Step 1: Open hood
Step 2: Remove electrical connector plug from back of head lamp (it pulls straight out by hand)
Step 3: Remove rubber boot
Step 4. Unlatch holding spring
Step 5: Pull lamp out and install new one

It’s just that easy!!!!
