Well, I'm gonna save you a couple dollars
Okay in things that you can do
at home that otherwise you would
probably think you can't, one is flooring.
Now, if you're in a bathroom, if you're in a bedroom,
it's quite easy, lots of times you have
just four corners just nice square walls.
Flooring, there's so many different types,
there's laminate, there's hardwood, there's engineered,
I kinda like engineered the best,
but they're all different types.
For me, some of the easiest flooring
is this lock and click flooring
which looks just like this, where you can literally see...
Literally anybody could do this.
Anybody could do this, it's literally
you just place it together like so.
Yep.
Okay, and then you press it down
and the good thing about this is you lock it in place
and that's it, it floats, you don't need any adhesive,
and it's as simple as that, you have to
cut the ends of course, but that's all you do.
That's about all, right?
I know, right?
I mean, anybody could do that. (audience applause)
It's gonna save you a lot of money doing it yourself.
Now I would say if you're gonna do tile,
maybe get a contractor for that,
Yeah, yeah.
Because that's a little bit more involved.
It's a little more labor intensive.
Okay now this one's gonna rock your world,
because this one is a sink.
Now, a sink like this will cost maybe 100 bucks,
you can get it at a big box store.
If you wanna replace your sink it's not that difficult.
We have a cabinet right behind you.
Okay.
A sink like this you can get at a big box store,
what I would do first is go to your existing vanity,
take a photo of all the plumbing underneath.
You already have the plumbing there,
all you have to do is take that existing sink off,
maybe take it to the big box store
so that way they know the measurement.
They know they're giving you the right sink.
Or take the measurements of the vanity.
Once you get your new sink again, maybe 100 dollars,
put it in place, you still have the picture
so you know exactly where the plumbing hookups will go.
Right.
The one thing you wanna do is make sure you use
a little adhesive, and you're gonna put a bead of caulk
or silicone around the front and the two sides,
if you can get all four sides.
So seal it. To seal it.
That's it. And that's all you have
to do and then hook it back up.
The next thing is a cabinet.
Now cabinets, sometimes they will come already prebuilt.
The cool thing about this one is what we did is
usually you want two people to put a cabinet up like this.
We have what is called a French cleat, that means it's
interlocking on the top...
A French cleat. A French cleat.
It's a lot like the flooring, it goes together.
Well yeah, it's interlocking, except it's not gonna stay.
So the French cleat you wanna make sure that it is level
up top where you want your cabinet to go.
If you only have one, again it's a store bought cabinet,
less than 100 dollars. Right.
And you have the other side of the French cleat
on the back of the cabinet.
Right, at the top. So all we're gonna do...
So you need to use a level on that part...
So you use a level on that part, exactly,
and make sure you put it into some studs,
and literally it sits just like that.
I know! (audience applause)
We will go ahead and we'll put some screws in it,
just to adhere it, make sure it's a little bit stronger,
we have some holes right up here.
(drilling)
So we will put four screws in,
make sure you do go to the studs.
Right because if you fill this up,
obviously you don't want it to fall off the wall.
Yeah, but again, if you get more cabinets
or custom cabinets, maybe you need
a professional contractor to put them together.
But when you're doing one, very simple.
Cheap and cheerful do it yourself.
Anybody can at home can do it.
Love it. (audience applause)
Alright, the last thing, when people say,
when professional painters paint, it looks so good,
but that's because they have the utensils.
Here, we have what we use for, maybe if you're putting up,
if you're spackling or something like this,
Alright.
we're gonna call this a paint shield.
You can use it opposed to using tape.
So you don't wanna tape something up.
So say you have your chair rail right here,
you wanna paint it, instead of taping it off
which does take a lot of time,
what a lot of professional painters use,
they use something like this,
we'll dip our little brush in the paint,
and they'll just run along the...
Oh, I get it!
And they'll put the paint shield and protect...
Duh! Yeah.
Which is great, because it just protects and...
Oh, whoah you didn't see that did you?
I saw it!
Oh, got a little bit of a leak, oh no!
I saw him!
(audience laughter)
Okay so this paint shield was broken, clearly,
it didn't work so well, don't let it leak on the back.
See you can actually do it better
than the contractor can.
Okay don't invite me over to your house then, I get it.
(laughter)
(audience cheers)
