cutting lumber at 2am running a 12 inch saw with a beer buzz I hope I still have all of my thumbs now damping the sound with door closed tight driving the screws while my pregant wife sleeps in the next room working so carefully around the gas lines think I got one of them studs a little off now I think I'll just leave it in the interest of time framing at two in the morning I just can't stop myself from driving the screws framing at two in the morning I just can't stop myself I've got to get the framing done framing at two in the morning I've been working fourteen hours and I'm almost done

Wiring Song 03:43
pulling 12 gauge wire my thumbs are pretty sore cut the sheath with a razor pull it back expose the core trim off a half inch off the PVC liner and you're good to go splice that pigtail loop the terminal wires just like you're a pro now the washer has a dedicated line the countertop has a dedicated line dishwasher has a dedicated line let's not leave the lights out! fridge and the stove got a circuit too and the attic lights up like the sun itself is shining through the roof now` rolling romex across the yard now cut a big ass hole in my bedroom making runs to the hardware store now with the knick knack rats at the local mall sweating on my side waving a hook on a pole saw winding through these rafters my ribs are thumping now you know I found a dead cat up here right next to a bird you know there's poetry somewhere in that but I just keep wiring into the kitchen snap the breakers in with your right hand death is waiting two inches from your use up every space in the ground bus flip the main and your wiring job is done

add a touch of water mix it really smooth the lower viscosity will save you time in the end now push the tape in the corners gotta stick it run a line on the seam you got it press the mud in the cracks now gotta push it form a really sharp corner(!) hit the screw heads first hit the the holes again keep it quick you can always come back and knock the ridges down keep in mind excessive dust interferes with adhesion keep a damp rag handy to prep the surface as you move you gotta let it all dry out gotta let it set your fan on three you got it crack a cold one open gotta crack it gotta let it be keep sanding through the night now feather the seams get it right work that block in to the corners skim that final coat tonight

first you mop the subfloor let it dry then you patch the cracks up with a suitable compound then you wait for that to dry until it's hard enough to sand it and when that's drying get the vinyl out cut it a half inch bigger than the floor lay it all out and trim for fit make sure to leave some slack under the door once it's cut to size you're almost there get out the adhesive and a trowel roll back just a little more than half the vinyl now then apply the glue with broad strokes make that it's even lay the first half so gently avoiding bubbles as you roll get the rubout stick and push the air out from the center roll the other half back you got to watch out don't glue yourself into the corner work your way to the egde now you got to watch out for excess glue oozing from the edge once it's all glued down you're almost there wipe the excess off with a damp towel glue the final pieces by the door now you have to wait at least 12 hours yeah yeah yeah

carefully flash the opening work from the bottom up carefully drill the flange now at every 8 inches or less run a caulk bead around the edge la dah dah make sure you get around all the holes la dah dah dah start from a lower corner la da dah dah drive the screw in and check for plumb la da dah rotate the window as needed try not to move too fast break off the shims in the gaps plumb it one more time start setting the screws keep checking for square go inside and check for smooth operation take all the time you need it'll be here forever the last thing you want is a difficult window once the screws are installed on the flange caulk the heads and flash again on the outside seal up all the gaps with spray foam now test for smooth operation test for smooth operation
