How to Install a Gas Clothes Dryer


Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey helps an expecting couple select and install a gas dryer. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 3-4 hours Cost: $800 and up Skill Level: Expert – licensed professionals only Tools List for Installing a Gas Clothes Dryer: Pipe wrench (x2) Drill Hole saw Screwdriver Shopping List: Gas pipes Gas pipe fittings Gas nipples Pipe dope Dryer vent Dryer vent cover Flexible gas connector Gas leak detector Gas tubing hanger Steps: 1. Any work involving gas can be dangerous and should be left to a licensed professional. 2. Start by shutting off the gas at the meter using a wrench or at the nearest gas shutoff upstream of where the new gas work will happen. 3. Measure and connect a series of gas pipes, fittings and nipples to the source of the gas to the rough location of the dryer. Secure all the connections between the pipes and the fittings with pipe dope and tighten them with the wrenches. 4. At the bottom of the gas work closest to the dryer, add a drip cap to allow for a sediment clean out. 5. Connect the flexible gas line to the end of the new gas pipes and then to the gas fitting on the dryer using the wrenches. 6. Drill a hole in the exterior wall where the dryer will vent. Do this using the drill with a hole saw attachment. 7. Insert the dryer vent cover into the dryer vent and tighten the clamp with a screwdriver until it’s secure. 8. Feed the dryer vent into the wall and then screw the dryer vent cover to the exterior wall. 9. Connect the dryer vent to the dryer and secure it to the dryer using a clamp and the screwdriver. 10. Plug in the dryer (this power is only to spin the drum) and turn the gas back on. 11. Test all the new gas work for any leaks using a leak detector. 12. Once you’ve confirmed the gas work is all perfectly sealed, secure the pipes to the walls using screws and the gas tubing hangers. Resources: Richard recommends that if the electrical service to the house is insufficient, a gas dryer could be a more suitable option for installation. Working with gas can be extremely dangerous, so, as with any other gas appliances in the house, this type of work should only be handled by a licensed professional. Richard installed a 120V gas vented dryer, which is manufactured by GE Appliances (https://ift.tt/2BUD8Mg). The other materials he used for this installation, including the black gas pipes, fittings, nipples, and pipe dope, can all be found at home centers.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | An Arts & Crafts for the Ages: 3816


The Arts and Crafts house in Arlington is at completion and the guys come to take a last look and celebrate with the homeowners. Kevin and Tommy arrive at the new entrance where the old Silver Maple tree and telephone pole once stood. Kevin tours the front yard with Roger and landscape architect Kim Turner. Kim points out the new plantings in the front yard and all the hardscape that Roger and his crew have worked hard to finish. Meanwhile Tommy goes around the back to meet Norm and look at the three-story exterior addition. They reflect on how the addition was designed and built to look like it was always there. Inside, Kevin looks at the refurbished front door with homeowner Emily. The foyer ceiling has been covered with an embossed paper made of linseed to give it a decorative feeling. Emily points out other updates and they check out a new stair runner being installed on the front stairs. In the dining room, paneling has been added to the walls and an Arts and Crafts style wallpaper is above it. But the biggest change are the beautiful new oak pantry cabinets that replace what was once the outdated galley kitchen. The cabinets have a pass-through that connects to the dining room so that glassware and dishes can be accessed from both sides. Richard heads upstairs to the second floor and meets homeowner Nick. With the new addition, the entrance to the master bedroom was changed to allow for a suite with two closets, the bedroom, and a spacious new bathroom. Richard looks at the new technology in the bathroom –the shower, bathtub, and toilet all have control panels for a variety of functions. Norm finds Emily putting the finishing touches in her daughter’s room. Not much was changed in there except for a special wall painting style similar to watercolors. They head up to the third floor and look at the new craft/play space that the addition allowed. Originally the idea was to move the third floor bathroom to the newly built space but once they saw how beautiful and open the space was, they decided to keep the bathroom in the same location and instead use the space for something fun. Shiplap paneling gives the entire floor an updated look. Outside Kevin and Tommy reflect on the changes made to the front porch. The curved framing of the porch rafters and base were fabricated offsite using CNC machines. Once onsite and installed, the framing was sheathed with bendable plywood. New brackets also cut from CNC machines add to the Arts and Crafts style of the house. Back inside, Kevin meets interior designer Jill Goldberg who had to go back and forth with her design options when the homeowners ultimately decided not to paint the original oak paneling. With the natural paneling, she chose a soft grass cloth wallpaper to go above it to mimic the kitchen design. In the new family room addition, they look at the cabinetry over the television, the shades for all of the windows, and the best use of furniture placement in the new space. With the family room, kitchen and living room all opened up to each other, there is a better flow and a lot of light. Emily is thrilled with her kitchen. She shows Kevin her choices for appliances. The rest of the crew enters and they talk about how the project went. Roger presents the homeowners with a wooden bowl turned from a burl on the old Silver Maple tree that had to be taken down at the beginning of the project.

How to Repair a Cracked Stucco Retaining Wall


Ask This Old House mason Mark McCullough travels to San Diego to repair a crack in a concrete retaining wall with a stucco finish. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 2-3 hours Cost: $50 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Repairing a Cracked Stucco Wall: Shovel Cold chisel Hammer Bucket Margin trowel Finishing trowel Tuck pointer Masonry brush Shopping List: Type S mortar Steps: 1. Start by making sure the entire crack is fully exposed. This may require digging out the back side of the retaining wall with a shovel. 2. Once the full crack is exposed, take a chisel and a hammer and remove concrete on both sides of the crack until you have one continuous gap in the wall. This will make it easier to slide the mortar in. The gap should be about 1-2”. 3. Clean out the enlarged crack with a hose or a bucket of water. 4. Mix the mortar in a bucket with a margin trowel. Add a little more water than usual to allow the mortar to flow more easily into the crack. 5. Scoop up the mortar with the margin trowel and pour it slowly into the crack. Use the tuck pointer to push it firmly into place. It helps to hold a finishing trowel against the back side of the crack to keep it from pouring out. Leave about ½” on the front side of the wall to leave room for the stucco pattern. 6. Allow the mortar to dry for about 1 hour. 7. Mix a new batch of mortar at the normal consistency. 8. Apply the new mortar to the front of the crack using the margin trowel until it is flush with the rest of the wall. 9. Allow the mortar to dry for about 5 minutes. 10. Using the tuck pointer, the masonry brush, and your fingers, carve out small chunks of the mortar to mimic the texture of the stucco pattern. Dampen the brush and expose some of the sand in the mortar. Do this until the texture of the patch matches the texture of the rest of the wall. 11. Allow the mortar to dry and cure for about 3-4 weeks. 12. Once the mortar has cured, apply a masonry stain to it until it matches the rest of the wall. Resources: Mark points out that if a retaining wall is cracked or damaged, the best way to remedy the situation is to identify what caused the crack in the first place and eliminate that cause. However, in many cases, that type of solution won’t be practical for a retaining wall. To simply alleviate the symptoms, the materials required to repair a concrete retaining wall, including the trowel, masonry brush, and mortar are fairly straightforward and easy to locate at home centers. The masonry stain can also be found at home centers. If you bring a chip of the retaining wall with you to the home center, they should be able to closely color match the stain.
