Hi, I'm Phil Bridges, owner of Straight Arrow Repair. Ever want to know how a repairman fixes things? Well come with me, and I'll show you how I solve problems. Let's make things better together.

Well, that's so tight it won't go in there. we need, so. Okay, let's go up some more.

"I want to check mine."

Oh, yeah. You got to build yours up.

"And we got to change it because it's going the wrong way."

Yeah. Let's do that now.

"So let's show them what you're talking about."

Alright, not that this house is wiggling around, but this is a bad habit. You want your blocks to run across your pier. And the reason they didn't do that here, if you noticed the pads you instead of having to deal with a four 16 by 16 pad, they got two half pads. Which is better than what they have been doing because they're all just single half pads.

That spreads out more weight. But when you got to put blocks on top of you want your half pads run this way and then your block will run across your beam and that way you won't get wobble. The beam is going to want to roll this way or that way it's not going to go this way. Okay, so we're going to take this down. Re... Let me get my hammer.

"The big hammer here."

Well, here it is. This let me get this right here. Uh, that's stuck in there.

Another reason why I like straight claw. All right.

We don't have a.

A little level so. Hello

"There's two people here."

All right.

I've got to go up quite a bit more here.

"These are the one bys that were in there, but they're not very good.

"There, put that there. Got to go up a little bit."

Yeah, let's go up some.

This is Phil Bridges, if you like what you saw and think it might be helpful to somebody else, push that like button and let other people know what you and I know, and we'll work together toward making a brighter future. By the way, we're not Amera-Can'ts we're Americans. See you next time.
