Tool of the DayThese made the job easier
Mortar bag
There really is no real trick to using a mortar bag. Check to make sure that the nozzle is clear or if your bag doesn't have one, that you have cut the end of the bag large enough for the mortar to pass through. The other thing to remember is don't press the bag, twist the top like you are trying to wring it out.
This episode is a great grab-bag of home projects, including the final electrical wiring, installing glass block and a hanging door to the laundry room. Have fun!
We begin by finally learning how Leigh and George stumbled into getting their own show! Then the lads jump in over their heads when they decide to complete the semi-finished basement. George wants a glass block wall off of his laundry room, but first they realized they must finish up the electrical work by connecting the plugs and wiring the lights. Then it's off to the supply store where they run in to an unsuspecting contractor, who with a little encouragement from Leigh, decides to help out with the glass block. Throughout the project, the lads demonstrate the importance of keeping your contractor happy.
