A New Project: Saving a Flood Damaged House

This house was one of the many 'yellow stickered' houses after the August 2022 floods in Nelson. Some houses were also red stickers, meaning they were condemned altogether. In this episode I join the crew at Nelson Builders and help out!

Nice nice nice. This is the old style content I fell in love with.

[@dennis2376]

Yep, looking at those old house was cool and it is neat to see how they do new homes.

[@maxiiime]

good refreshing content indeed, feels like we are on a break too 😅

[@ardynottle]

+1

[@eduardocarvalho1547]

I was missing this!!!

[@Mark-Huigen]

Remodeling your own house is fun, but THIS RIGHT HERE is the OG content! ❤

[@steffengrossmann169]

To all those builders that Scott puts his camera into their faces … Thank you for putting up for it 🙏. We love watching/seeing what you do!!!

[@mennovis1165]

its been a long time since we've seen a proper smoko, nice

[@jasperkemp9025]

Who would have thought we would live to see the day; he's back in his natural habitat 👌

[@user-le1cm3qz4u]

About time we got a reunion with Pareau and Kameron.

[@Flashblackyc4]

I remember years ago us subscribers were super keen to see you buy and renovate your own house. Now it’s done, it’s like we’ve gone full circle and we’re back to videos that made us fall in love with Scotty ❤

[@bird9455]

FINALLY. This is the reason i subscribed to this channel in the first place. I love this type of content

[@mrdbooks7285]

I enjoy watching you on a Real Building Site for a change.

[@caveweta]

And he’s back! Hope there’s more to come. We get so many ideas from these disaster rebuilds, thanks Scott.

[@deadstump4970]

We use impact drivers because they don't break fasteners like drill do... That and the blat blat makes you sound productive.

[@2hlix]

They also won't break your wrist with torque

[@bird9455]

They also make you look like a man

[@ZachAshcraft]

When I hear an impact ringing out somewhere in my neighborhood, I know I am among my people

[@mikevandenbosch9081]

Oh boy.... the debate of impact vs. drill..... both have their places. As a finish carpenter, I prefer the softer touch of the drill. But long fasteners for framing, decking etc, an impact is my preference.

[@neilmccartney9987]

A change is as good as a rest. Don't worry about the house. Sure what trades person ever really finishes their own home.😂. Great content as usual. ❤

[@paulhodgson4790]

Good to see you released into the wild Scott. Looks like you enjoyed the job and the company.

[@espnmk]

You look chippier on the job site Scott. That is a serious retaining wall. Thanks for Sharing...

[@mac8179]

That huge hill looks like a nightmare waiting to happen again with heavy rain.

[@BrendanDun]

Now this is the type of video that persuaded me to take up carpentry 😁

[@cudden22]

You moved in December 2021?! Jeez, time really is slipping away!

[@terrytopliss9506]

Could see you were enjoying being back on site Scott. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍

[@katrinabell7684]

Good to see you out on a building site SBC Can’t wait to see your finished laundry.👍😎

[@patrickmbell]

Really interesting to see some of these flood damage houses up close. Really interesting

[@warwickbourke]

Just like the good old days! 👌

[@bigrobbo75]

Saturday morning and an episode of SBC with a cup of tea to start the day indeed

[@DaveDaHunt3R]

yess!! Scott on jobsite is back! missed these videos so much! i mean, house videos were cool, but this is what made me love the channel! 🖤

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

Lots to do and in a good cause, helping someone get close to returning to their home. In Florida I worry about hurricanes but still cannot imagine losing everything!!

[@karremania]

Yeaaah back on constructionsites, love to see old style content again :)

[@adamlancaster183]

Always watch no matter what Scott, but this we definitely nice to see the old style vids mate

[@wesdobbs]

Back on the job site! Great episode. Ray phone call was a good addition

[@oliverledbetter8295]

OG SBC content! Here for it! Just need Kameron to pop by to show us a new tool in his van…

[@JoshR512]

This type of video is what made me get into carpentry/remodel. A circ, miter, track saw later, I earn me a couple bucks. Keep them coming. 😊

[@cameronhesling6189]

Finally on site videos!!!! Please bring these back again

[@kr0k3tt]

I've enjoyed your own renovation but it is great to see you on site again. Also Ray finds it distracting because he loves it so much

[@ronmurphy4234]

I find it funny how all the additional bracing is required, but simple things like spillways are nowhere to be found to direct the water when such an event happens.

[@more.power.]

Nice to see you out on the building site Scott. Thank you Nelson Builders

[@AdamGrayson]

Love it, classic Scott Brown!

[@davidmoynahan9585]

Those big screws at the end are so handy for many applications, along with lots of holding power. Nice the explanations and how to install recessed strapping double time and the ruler trick. Enjoy the reno work, ways to upgrade old properties.

[@OCPYT___]

Solid video mate! Really enjoyed you working with a building group, nice variety.

[@n0killer86]

Good to see you back and giving us more trick for constructions.

[@kingjamezo4583]

Oh yeah the vibe is back❤

[@benbofficial]

Good to see you back on the job site Scott very refreshing! Can't wait to see more!

[@bunning63]

Had a mate that always told me about Nelsons sunny weather, didn't want to believe me about the rain in winter. Incidentally New Plymouth is one of the spots that's held the record for most sunshine hours, it just rains even in summer. Hence if you travel up from Wanganui in summer it's all brown, yet NP stays green. Good for the dairy farmers.

[@AndrewFrink]

I need details on that coffee maker!

[@iamdamo]

Awesome to see you back on site dude 🤙 Hope you’re enjoying something refreshing!

[@zanyzoo6767]

The weather every where has been weird. Contratry to belief, here in the UK we do have a summer. But the Summer of 22 it rained for nearly 3 months solid, this summer its colder than it should be. In Europe the weather has been to extremes. High highs, and massive flooding. THe weather every where is off the scale.

[@jesswildthing]

Chill and exciting episode Scott! You seem relieved to be working on a house that isn’t yours 😜 Love this old throwback to og SBC content.

[@rodneyphillips3520]

That episode was so exciting!

[@michaelfairchild]

You can never beat Mother Nature.

[@bigrobbo75]

It must have been soul destroying to see that happen to that man's home

[@Hokie502]

Who knew how much I missed on-site Smoko Time?! Definitely reminds me of pre-move SBC!

[@mitchelll3189]

I would love to see a lunch packing/gear video as weird as that may sound!

[@connorflack972]

SCOTT IS BACK. Finally mate, great video

[@Combo223]

Scotty B back at it again!

[@Imtoo588]

Nice to see you on a building site again Scott :)

[@rhyssanft3374]

Yea boy, love the old style content.

[@markplumber3635]

And the magic is back

[@jennyrobertson8797]

Loved this episode!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Great to see you back on the jobsite!

[@remiewatkins8032]

Awesome job Scott love the video

[@davidbrewer7937]

Good to see you back in the saddle...

[@andyoliver5140]

Great episode

[@Kernowwoods]

Always good to get back on site dude. 🤙

[@FJRIPS]

Welcome back Scott👌

[@TheG1162]

I have one of those espresso makers for my hiking trips, its great 👍🏼 ps I love SBC 😊

[@Visionist]

Great content!

[@moe_1886]

Nice to see you onsite doing some real work Scott 😜

[@thisoldproperty]

Thanks for sharing 'a day in the life' Say go to Ray for us.

[@glennfolau6959]

The end of 2021 until the end of 2023, was an absolute horrible time for wet weather, and flash floods throughout the whole of NZ. I can't recall so much wet weather, so much slush, so much gloom. What we found out was that drainage systems were inadequate to deal with the deluge, and the run off caused by the excessive rain.

[@tysonklaassen-smith9298]

Loving the attention to audio!

[@-_James_-]

I only have a drill, so I use it for everything, but impact drivers are smaller (so fit into tighter spaces) and lighter (so you can use them more comfortably for longer).

[@randomfocus1549]

Interesting comparison with the drill and driver. Seems like impact drivers used to have more grunt back in the 12v days compared to drills, but the brushless revolution does make it seem like impact drivers are redundant, maybe other than tight space requirements 🤔

[@djstuc]

I like to have the countersink bit in one, and the driver bit in the other, to save swapping. The impact was much cheaper than a drill too.

[@vityapopov4883]

That's a pretty nice winter.....😢

[@piee683]

Scott the people weren’t wrong about the weather it’s just upside down here too in Ireland last 2to 3years definitely changed

[@jarrodspajic9219]

Not to say that I don’t love the current content. But it is awesome to see some footage back out on site 😍 Cheers Scott

[@Andre_Ons_Marshall]

The weather is strange at the moment even here in Australia. Should be cold being winter, more like summer storm weather

[@dennis2376]

Nice to see you back in construction, you looked happier. Does NZ have RockWool, and Canadian brand of insulation that is non itchy and fireproof. Question is that slope stable or will it slide again, even with remediation? That retaining wall is unbelievable! Thank you and have a great week.

[@tjnicholas]

NZ does have mineral wool (no idea if it is RockWool brand) but it is comparatively unusual. As it happens Josh Chapman just released a video about why Pink Batts dominate in NZ.

[@sw6188]

Yes, you can get RockWool insulation here in NZ.

[@dennis2376]

@@tjnicholas Thank you.

[@knotes76]

I've loved the personal renovation, but just like my own 10 year reno sometimes it's nice to do something else. It's nice to see some change of pace content with this. And the new cast of characters is bringing us into the new friend group.

[@SmithCaro]

1:00 Wendy !!!!! 😊

[@6Ginge]

Old skool Scott Brown ❤

[@JohnColgan.]

Back to paid work on mini mansion restoration. Customer was lucky his house didn't get moved completely! All those hold down brackets & straps, is that Earthquake protection or for general storm protection from washing away?

[@darryl-ym2cr]

You couldn't pay me enough to live in that house or any one below a hill like that..

[@cjlamber]

I was thinking they will struggle to sell after this. A lot of money going into a house that will only devalue. Very sad I hope their insurance is paying.

[@leonardohard9604]

vamos

[@spider-man910]

Still looks like that hill is going to come down and burst over that retainer , idk scotty ???.

[@pauls4708]

I oly use n impact if the drill/driver wont do it,like those coach screws for hold downs

[@ejdj8635]

Hey I got the same tool belt as you and was wondering what Chicago screws you used to hold your shoulder straps together since your setup looks so nice?

[@hugoakerlund5114]

Impact drivers also vibrate alot

[@efenili]

So many youtube videos of actual builders being like "Why have we been using impact drivers" haha. TBF I think drivers themselves have come a long way, in particular in their ability NOT To break your wrist with torque.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Scott Brown Carpentry from Sydney Australia. I'm puzzled as to Councils LEP requirements for suitable building land. Flood and natural water courses are NOT suitable land, not to mention insurance companies. 🌏🇦🇺

[@sw6188]

When a lot of these places were built last century, there didn't seem to be much concern about location. Hillsides were popular for house sites. If you look around the city of Wellington there are thousands of houses built on the hills, some of which are quite steep. Many are a hundred years old or more. There have been increasing incidents of slips and landslides over the past decade as well.

[@Goabnb94]

Phone calls at smoko, the age of problem common to all trades

[@LT_Clara]

Scott, its 5am

[@louisbown7453]

Why do you use the metal ceiling top hat? Why not put the plasterboard straight to the trusses? Here in the UK we tack strait to trusses

[@drazenvujinovic5693]

Nice video just got my new Makita 40V impact (so powerful and my first 40V tool :) ). How is Pareau has he healed after the injury, hope to see some videos with the old gang in the future.

[@TooinsAZ]

I think we would want to see pudder again..

[@sandrinakeffufal6008]

Yes it's taken me ages to find the benefits of an impact driver lol

[@monkeysausageclub]

Still confuddles my brain that for you February is summer and August is winter 😂

[@ribbon-q5o]

Wait... is he not coming back? 💞✨

[@davebennett7550]

Link for the coffee gadget ?

[@John.strong]

use the drill, every time... all the other guys I work with use an impact a part from the boss the 2 of us with drills will put in more screws than the 6 other guys using impacts use less battery too

[@SuperWayneyb]

🤘😎🤘

[@tonyallis5249]

G’day Scott, what species is the framing timber?

[@SylviaFawley]

0:02

[@blairr97]

Can we get a 2024 updated most used Tools video or something

[@mac8179]

Help me understand why you’d want to lower a roof?
