Just a tip for blocking. You want it installed flush with the studs it’s connected to otherwise whatever you are mounting into the block can detent the drywall

thanks for the tour nice house. I see you decided to use the PEX- A. I like the front door but the width of the front entrance seems a bit narrow. I think if the side lights for the front door were located on the opposite side of the door it wouldn't seem as cramped, or if there was an extra set of side lights that pushed the door to the center. In it current configuration you need to step back and open the door to a full 90 degrees to enter rather than moving to the right slightly to come in.

I come in just fine. I wanted a 48 inch door but when it came time to order they couldn't go larger then 40.

Hey great videos of your build. I’m doing a gut reno of a block house on the east side of FL. What is the link for the plumbing valve boxes? Thanks.

Google plumbing valved manifold and pick what suits you best. Stay away from the plastic ones.

Just curious as to why you routed the electrical about 2 inches below your water lines. That doesn't seem very smart.

That's just where the electricians put them. Water lines and electrical wires cross all the time in a attic.

Good day Mike! Just bought a lot and am embarking on the owner builder process like you. I'm looking to run the majority of the plumbing and electrical underslab like you did. Do you know where in the Florida building code underslab utilities is addressed? Also if you have time I'd like to speak to you about some other similar things I'm wanting to do that I see you've done. Let me know... Thanks

There is nothing different running water or electric in the slab. Conduit is just a sleeve to run the pex

What is the r-value/thickness of the R-Max and are the furring strips 3/4" or 1-1/2" thick? Built my (framed) Florida house 4 years ago, will be build with block this time. Thanks for the video.

I believe the foam is r6 and furring straps are 3/4

Hello Mike! I have learned a lot about building in FL from your videos - thanks! Question, how were you able to do your own plumbing? Can you do it yourself if it is your house? Also, can you share a link to the plumbing supply house that you used for the in wall valve boxes? Thanks - keep up the great videos!

You can do by owner if it's your house in Florida. I bought the stuff from supplyhouse.com

It's been good to me so far and watched a bunch of test and seems to have the best durability.
