Building Inspector STOPPED THE BUILD! | SIPs NOT TO CODE!!! | Off Grid Barn House Build

[@MrBenglew]

Hi Tim from Australia, maybe the bobcat can dig an extra pit incase the inspector needs a little help with making the right decision next time and he would make some lovely plant food for future plants if he isn’t up to par on how good your building specs are and how awesome it looks 🫡

[@RidgeLife]

Haha!

[@nancygibson9644]

It is good to see you be able to laugh about your day today. Here is hoping that the inspectors doesn't dollar you to death throughout this build. I am so anxious to see the next step that brings your closer to your home build.

[@RidgeLife]

So true!

[@likebutton5445]

Wow that's a spendy "yes" stamp 😲 I love the pation - super cool how they did that. Fingers crossed the county will sign off that the patio is sharknado proof 😬

Me too! Thanks!

Great job on filming and editing this video, Tim, and a shoutout to the hardworking crew who did the job.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@debbiesparks7010]

Hi Tim thata a shame hopefully you'll get it straightened out. Thats right about the New Madrid fault. I'm sure it can be fixed some way. Its good to see your smile even in bad times. Stay positive. Love the back patio it looks beautiful. Thats bad 1,200 dollars. County codes can be difficult . Hope you get some good news soon. Have a great day and God Bless Go RidgeLife ❤

[@valeriek5020]

I admire you as a man that has set out to build a dream and you are working at it with all that you got. Stand back and accept the dance of two steps forward and one step back. All will work out, it will just take a little more time and as much as we all don't like it when there is more to do to accomplish a project and of course taking more of our hard earned money........we settle for patience. I have never seen or heard of black concrete..........it is absolutely beautiful. How did they do that. The music at 24.39 is great.

[@RidgeLife]

Added black limestone to aggregate. Thx!

[@margaretwalker255]

Amazing great video. Patio is fantastic.

[@maths9085]

TN uses the 2009 IRC, which does include Section R613 on SIP construction. However, the applicability is limited per R613.2 to seismic design categories A, B, and C. So if your building site is in a location where the seismic design category is A, B, or C, following the prescriptive requirements of IRC R613 should suffice, including for lateral resistance. I can only infer that your building site is in seismic design category D0, D1, D2, or even E, depending on how close the site is to the NW corner of the state, see Figure R301.2(2). In which case engineering being required should be entirely expected, given the limits spelled out in R613.2.

[@RidgeLife]

We are seismic 4 category. What does that entail for SIPs?

Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Your patio concrete is beautiful I really never seen it done like that before. Is there a name for that procedure on the patio?

[@RidgeLife]

It’s called exposed aggregate I believe.

[@kylenorris7156]

Not sure if I’ve missed it in another video, I’ve only watched the other one about the sips with eco. Are you going to cover the cost of the build? Subscribed to follow the build!

Absolutely! I will As I go and at the end with an overview. Thx

[@AngelaWhelan-l3w]

Don't blame you for not being happy about the engineer thing, my daughter and her husband are having the same sort of thing here in England. They are trying for planning permission to add a chicken house on THEIR land and it's one obstacle after another. E.g. what trees are on the land, (need a survey) are there any Newts (need a survey) they have been paying out for months every time they pass a hurdle another one pops up. And they all want big bucks to do them!!!

Oh wow!

[@Glenn_and_ShannonsSalty_Life]

I’m surprised that they didn’t use “ladder” (reinforcement-tie together) between the CMU’s on the chain wall initially, and I don’t know how good straps are gonna do in an earthquake. Sadly, most inspectors are guys that couldn’t hack it in their field. Good luck Bro!

[@RidgeLife]

They had fiber in the patio and block fill concrete.

[@ronnydowdy7432]

😂 Every one wants a piece of the pie when you are applying for permennts to build anything. I am amazed they do not require them to build a doghouse or a chicken coop. Probably have to have one or two just to keep chickens on you property. Please don't let them see your bees working. You could be taxed. Sorry about the rant. Everything is looking great on the Ridge. Just hope you're Engineers do not have to get in a pissing content with you in the middle. Good luck with your builds Tim.

I had looked into the SIP system for a future build and chose not to go that route I like the idea, but it’s a bit new in my part of the country and I just didn’t want to deal with the certifications and regulations. The government guys can screw up a free lunch. Very frustrating, it will all work out but it’s costing you unnecessary costs

[@mariokajin]

1200$ is cheap. You might not think so but it is. Imagine if you put out a paper out that guarantees that a building is safe without knowing what are you doing but the building isn’t safe and collapses. Who’s going to pay out for the damages and possible litigations and who’s going to lose its job and certification for doing said job. Well you. So 1200$ is cheap. And the engineer has to pay his student loans, feed his family and pay the house mortgage. Knowing (I’m not a U.S. citizen but I know the price differences) how expensive services in the U.S. are in comparison with the rest of the world, that engineer is dirt cheap. In our engineering company (E.U.) we don’t have a job that starts under 2000€/$ because of responsibility and bureaucracy procedures. 1200$ is cheap.
