Thank you sooo much this helped a lot!
Lady knows her caulk
Appreciate your update. So what if you used the 50lb Monkey hooks? Also, you didn't say what you replaced with, do you have a review for that?
Me Having actual trouble with caulking gun Also me Hehehehehehehe funny word
Great video!
She is trying to help those who need it 😊
Just leave it. Too expensive.
when u face the valve and move it to right -- thats how you close it -- may persons have broken valves trying to open or close it because they don't know in which direction to move.. so when u face it move to right to shut while if its parallel then its open
Wonderful videos; so grateful.
A k u n t telling people about generators? Lol go bake some cookies.
@@RadioRich100 how sad you have nothing better to do than insult women. Btw I'm an excellent baker too.
@@DIYHIPChicks Stick to the baking you know nothing about generators.
Love how you squeezed cauck:)
Excellent!!
Thank you!!!!!
goo gone makes a caulk remover spray, spray it on, wait 2 hours and use a metal putty knife and wedge it in behind the caulk and wiggle it and the caulk slides out.
Thanks,
Thank you!!!!
800 for the electrical work. is way too much. It should be 100 - 200 max
You are a great lady, very nice instruction!
@@user-hu1fn4vh4p thanks.
perfect
She was talking and talking and talking about all the helpful things and tips and giving us information, but I was just looking at her beauty from head to toes 😂 ... Now I have to actually go back and listen 😂😂😂
That's one tall drink of water 🥵
Thank you!!!
Wow...thank you! I was stressing out over this caulk gun and what an awesome video...very concise and I learned a ton! You rock!
@@carrieh9908 good luck
I LIKE HOW I cAME HERE TO SEE HOW TO DO IT BUT ITS LITERAALLY THE ONLY THING YOU DIDN TSHOW
I see.. Everything is better with alcohol.
Wow, Just wow, you nailed it lady.
What this model name
Life Savor!😀
Thank you! Those were excellent tips!😊
You should rename this channel to Thicccchicks…. 😉
Stop drinking propane.
That's a shame houses don't come w the special outlet.... another way our government forces us to give money to capitalism. 😊
I am having issues with getting the handle off.
My caulking job looks like a meringue pie😢
So helpful, extremely entry level (which is what I needed), and through! Thank you!!
This is the video I've been looking for; thanks! So much more information than others I've watched (like the one that started, "this is my first time using this sprayer). Most excdellent.
Just the video I was looking for. I like the Air Stone product and I agree on the use of Loctite Premium adhesive ( Premium Fast Grab actual) to adhere it to my outdoor fire place. I did some experimenting with it a piece of stone glued to a cinder block. After only 2 hours, I could not remove it with a chisel and hammer! That stuff it strong!!
Well that's 5 minutes 50 seconds of my life I won't get back!
Your voice reminds me of tina fey
doesnt the paint make it all stick together in the center?
UA-cam offered me so many videos by men on how to do this, and not one of them mentioned ensuring the power is off. Thank you for including this crucial safety tip in your video!
You are welcome
good video
I learned so much on this video :) thank you for explaining so well.
Cmon guys thats somones mom lol have some respect you weirdos
Mm y standard caulk gun has a poker that doesn't reach the seal! How stupid is that!? This kind of crap is why I prefer the squeeze tubes. How am I supposed to use it now?
Use a coat hanger to pierce the seal. Untwist one section of the hook
@@DIYHIPChicks thanks. That worked. Next time though, I'm going tube all the way! This caulk gun is way more unwieldy while on a ladder and the amount of force needed to get the caulk out is stupid and unsafe. I can't work it with my left hand like I would be able with a caulk tube.
This is how we got to boring sterile modern design concepts.
I lost the spiking tool. Any ideas?
Yep. Use a coat hanger 😉
Dam she’s hot
Your instructions, were wrong.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

This is exactly why I went to the comments lmao
