Those homes will never be built the way they were. The craftsmanship of those iconic houses are unmatched. It will coast double what they paid to get it back.

[@KayeChristy]

Facts!

[@kennixox262]

You are right. Plus the homes were probably built organically over time and remodeled or replaced over time. I wonder if they will retain the chimney/fireplaces during the rebuilds. I'm under the impression that new builds in Los Angeles can not have a wood burning fireplace.

[@colt_walker]

The way they were built caused them to burn enmasse. Modern building codes have significant requirements for fire resistance.

[@H33t3Speaks]

The fast and loose rule is it at least 3x the cost to build, adjusted for inflation.

[@Joskemom]

I draw the blueprints and get them through Building and Safety for my projects. The back and forth between with the plan checkers is so time consuming. You submit plans and then have to wait for them to come back with corrections and then back again. Those plan checkers are going to busy and a lot of down time for the plans to come back with their requested corrections. I do my blueprints because to pay some one else and wait would drive me insane.

[@Thatcrazycatlady2]

These linemen guys got nerves of steel! Hats off to them! 👍

[@Joskemom]

The power is off. However, on a normal situation when they do have to do corrections and work on live wires, hell yes they got to be steady. In the early days, it was one of the most dangerous jobs.

[@Liz.R]

@@jenniferrueger1694 Well, only 2 can fit in a bucket at a time. I'm sure someone is needed on the ground to be sure all is good to go before they start cutting those wires. They probably go to the next pole and they rotate. This is truly a thankless job and maybe your neighborhood hasn't needed electrical work, but this is common practice for these guys. Maybe there is a KZbin video out there that a worker has posted about their jobs???????

[@RobinRockefeller]

​@@patti7904..I would guess because the protective insulation was melted. You can't have electrical wires rubbing together. That would cause a fire. It's what caused our house fire when I was 15.

[@VintageLPs]

It’s time for this utility company to bury their lines. They’ve been buried in my neighborhood in Montana since all the homes were built in 1978. In all that time only once did we have a power outage when a squirrel got into a ground-level utility box that services the neighborhood. Our t.v. cable is also supposed to be buried but Spectrum Cable is lousy at that and I can see the exposed cable running 150 ft down my fence line, over to the house and around the front. I’m surprised something hasn’t chewed on that by now!

On countless of these videos, we saw burned homes next to flush trees and brush. While brush cleanup is needed, it seems the embers interacting with flammable building materials on the sides of homes caused the majority of damage.

[@AStanton1966]

The power company in my blue state in the Northeast regularly trims back the trees. Guess what? Back in 2011 a freak snow storm hit in October when the leaves were still on the trees. About a 1/3 of the state lost power for a week due to trees taking out the power lines/poles. They never trimmed back enough!

My home was built in 1978 in a town of 25,000 and all our utilities in my neighborhood are underground. We have had temperatures hit 30 deg. below zero and up to 104 deg. F in the summer. Our annual rainfall is 12 inches. I’ve lived in this house since 1983 and only one time did we have a power outage when a squirrel somehow got inside one of the utility boxes in the neighborhood. It’s a metal box a little bit bigger than an air conditioner. Wouldn’t it be nice if whatever utility company is servicing Pacific Palisades, would bury their utilities? I would think in the long run it would save the company money in manpower to continually replace electrical lines and power poles in storms and fires. Also, it would be a lot less dangerous for people battling fires and homeowners who want to go back into their neighborhoods to see the damage.

[@FrankMeredith]

They are not necessarily repairing just cutting wires that would be dangerous when power is re applied

[@RobinRockefeller]

Right.i imagine the fire would have melted some of the protective insulation on the wires .And could also make the wires brittle. As someone who almost died in a house fire, I also know you don't want wires without insulation to rub together. Ours was old aluminum wiring.

[@OsotastyLordKC]

The wires were melted in places and some transformers were blew the poles into pieces when they exploded, never in my life have I seen transformers explode off the poll over a house fire... Tell me... Why are the sewer and water lines tarnished like they were also on fire?

[@CjbrkBrooks]

Why aren’t power lines buried? Is it because it’s an older area, or is it because of shifting fault lines? I remember the many times I had layovers in CA, and I’d look around and ask myself how I’d navigate all the downed power lines in the immediate aftermath of a serious earthquake. I live in MN, and our lines are buried except in the older cities…and rural areas. You’ve done a top notch job on your videos…I think I’ve seen over a dozen so far. They will be a very important part of the historical record going forward. By the way, be sure to tell these brave men that your fans are now their fans. At least I’m a fan…not in a million years would I do that work…electricity scares the $#*+ out of me! 😬🫣

One of the reasons for the fires is probably the negligence of the power companies. They failed to keep their power lines clear of plants and tree branches.

On the plus side the weather is amazingly mild. Imagine doing this work in negative zero wind chills and ice slick streets.
