[@erikrobles5727]

What’s a special inspector??

[@HisboiLRoi]

@@erikrobles5727 - Approval of certain facets of a project sometimes requires expertise and knowledge beyond that of a general building inspector. A special inspector is an independent expert in a particular field that signs off on, or sometimes rejects, those portions of a project. On more complex designs, there are sometimes multiple special inspectors covering different disciplines. What work requires a special inspection can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The cost for special inspections is over and above the standard permit fees.

[@charlesphilhower1452]

@@LIBERTY0RDEATH How is it you are missing the problems that were caused by the incorrectly done work, by the house flippers caused. There are reasons to do the work correctly and there are knowledgeable inspectors to ensure that the work is done correctly. That is the original reason building codes were established, and are still relevant, even if building codes may have gone beyond what is necessary.😊

[@YuYuYuna_]

People don't like you talking about your work? wtf? I love it. You're very enjoyable to listen to and hear explain things, the why's and how's things are done, reasons for doing things differently, etc. I love it. Don't mind the people that complain. It's great hearing you talk.

I wish contractors cared this much. Finding the right people for the job is key. It's nice to see proper craftsmanship on KZbin for once. So much crap being taught on the tube, we need more videos like this.

I honestly feel bad for those homeowners, they got shafted and screwed over. At least they’re in good hands now and hopefully they get everything fixed and have no worries anymore.

[@NeoMK]

Yeah they're in for another few hundred thousand easily just to fix the poor work that they already paid for in the price of the house.

[@KittinPyro]

I honestly think it’s so cool that you can speak to your employees in their own language. Don’t know if it’s something you already knew or if you learned to communicate better with them but either way so many employers and supervisors could make their workplaces more welcoming and friendly, not mention improve team morale and efficiency by learning even basic Spanish. You see a person more as an individual with their own unique traits and personality when you can communicate with them in a way that feels more natural to them.

[@mstchiefa7892]

Not sure how i ended up in this 4 video rabbit hole but I watched the entirety of all 4 videos and must say I loved the content and even the talking was informative. I for one didn't mind the talking as it was always something new to learn. Keep up the content and excellent work on this project.

[@andrewcore7672]

What i do recommend while doing drains, is that you put the gravel inside geotextile to make sure that the dirt over years dont sink between the gravel, displacing the the dirt and soil above it (making a sinkhole effect) or at heavy rain dont pull out the soil too fast to clog or just displace the soil. Usually what you should do is to lay a texile bed with 1.5x more lenght at one of the side, fill in the gravel then wrap the whole thing up to the top, then put the soil on it. The gravel bed will work as a soft tube collecting all the water while preventing soil collapse on it.

[@eralar2]

It's good to see great professional workmanship like yours. I hope the owners can sue the seller for these hidden flaws. The fact that the last owner tried to keep water from seeping into the house using some kind of tar in Part 1 in this series proves they were aware of this flaw and definitely tried to cover it before selling the house.

[@honeydew661]

It’s so wonderful to hear that even when the pool overflowed it didn’t get into the house!! My brother was a victim of a flipped house as well and his basement floods, it’s awful. I hope these home owners can finally live happily

This. My parents did real estate, and I learned that if there's only 1 pic or no pic then the place is probably messed up. Also learned what to look for in terms of water damage(it's been a while though so I'm rusty)and some mold smells. Idk if it's correct but to me black mold smells like musty basement dirt.

[@debunkinghistory214]

Nice solution to the problem, gives them a lot of options. I still can't believe they had live electrical outlets sitting in wet dirt inside of that wall, or the tape covering the drain pipe etc etc etc

[@NealD]

Patio doors and a bunch of potted plants down there would be awesome!

[@40redfox40]

Other than doing everything right, I think what really sets you aside from others is attention to detail…specifically the way you were really good at putting everything that you had to disturb back to original (or close as possible) . Some of that stuff it seems that the homeowner there wouldn’t even care because so much of it is mismatched and actually kind of a mess already but your work ethic and pride in your work makes it important to you. I would definitely hire you.

[@just_passing_through]

In Australia, your guttering downpipes need to either flow into the stormwater drains directly or run under your front garden to the curb. It’s interesting that you can just run your guttering downpipes onto a piece of concrete in America.

[@theresamnsota3925]

Seamless gutters and siding are nice. The home I grew up in was built in 1907. The sides of the house were much longer than the front and back wall of the house. My parents didn’t want to do vinyl siding because they didn’t want to look at all of those seams. So they put seamless steel siding on the house. It was expensive, but worth it in the long run.

Those concrete forms could make excellent walls for a storage shed for bicycles, lawn mowers, etc. Just need a base and a roof. Siding could cover the concrete stuck to it.

[@aaronschmitt4215]

I’ve done seamless gutters for a really long time and he done some next level stuff with k style and box. although the gutter wasn’t high up in the air and pretty quick to install I’ve got to say your buddy Chris is a pro, tab corners, splash guards, connecting two Jank ass rooflines, cleaning his fingerprints, dealing with flow issues, the list goes on. I’m super impressed and he did everything I would have done. Kinda brought back some nostalgia

[@bread9173]

I am honestly surprised this addition to the house even passed inspection before it sold and beforw yall redid it! Especially in California in a wealthy area! This reminds me of my dad's construction company back in the early 2000s. I would sometimes go to work with him when I was a kid. He never skimpped on work and did stuff right. He built custom homes and did fencing with his buddy. Unfortunately, 2008 came along and screwed pretty much everyone over. He taught me to do stuff correctly as it will cost less in the long run. He and his friend had a few guys that worked for them but their houses and fences are still standing with minimal issue 20 years later! I can tell you know what you are talking about given all the stuff I experienced with my dad and multiple projects we have done over my lifetime (I'm only 22 but I guess that's still lots of my life helping with projects lol).

[@jakeschisler7525]

I bought a house in Missouri and apparently there were issues where the rain came in around the windows in the basement. So instead of fixing the gutters they silicone with many tubes. I called a gutter company and they removed the old ones which he said were too small for the pitch of the roof. Also had him put leaf guards in because from high up to the ground was over 30 feet. The old gutters had caked in junk and downspouts were clogged. After that we went with new windows. The guys that put up the new seamless gutters did a beautiful job and very quickly.

[@stevenfaulkner5649]

This is why I passed on one house when I was in the market. It was owned by a rental company with all 1 star reviews about them being slumlords. Their repairs to their rentals were usually done on the cheapest way possible. I knew I didn't want to buy a house kept together with 'duct tape.' House I finally did buy came with well documentation of all the work done by companies with insurance and warranties to their work.

Option two and a half it was🤗 Why not ignore all the shyte and put Delta on the wall and a gooseneck below it to have some drainage and airflow. I'm still with option No.1 aka the patio has to go and option No.3, the pool is on a shyty height. I bet this was once a popup pool, that was walled in and then dirt was filled in. Go back to phase one, just that the popup pool goes in a hole in the leveled backyard. Anyway, kudos for fine eye and the nice work.

[@tonster181g]

You seem quite knowledgeable in your craft. I have a couple ideas that might interest you: 1. I'd wait 7 days to remove forms on a loaded concrete wall as 3 days isn't enough cure time for most concrete mixes. 2. I use either an MDO plywood or a concrete form board (similar to MDO but a bit cheaper) to form exposed faces of concrete with form oil to alleviate the wood pattern. All that said, I wish my guys would learn to vibrate the concrete as well as you did. It looks great aside from the wood pattern!

[@kikeft85]

A trick I learned with my old boss is to over fill the grade line by about 2" and then vibrate the shit out of it, that ussually get rid of air pockets at the top, the only bad part is that you do have to do more clean up, also we taped over screw heads where we could toake it easier to strip afterwards

[@robertbfunkii4686]

I enjoy the talking parts it feels like I'm learning the why on how things should be.

[@gmt400lifestyle4]

Hey, talking or working… STILL MY FAVORITE KZbin CHANNEL 👌🏼🙌🏼

[@RenegadeADV]

If you want to make those forms on the inside corner easier to remove, score the plywood on the stud side almost all the way through in the middle, and pre-cut the studs framing the top and bottom then just screw a block across it, back the screws off then just drive a wedge down the center and it will come right out.

[@brolohalflemming7042]

Yep. I've just binge watched these 4 vids and there was a comment on the first one about how this happens. Simple answer is greed. When flipping became a thing, some people (ex-friends) said I should do this because they were making so much money. My response was along the lines of "What do I know about construction?". Their answer was I didn't need to, just get the work done cheap, make it look good enough to sell and move on to the next project.. Which is why they're not my friends any more. I can't stand people who think that doing a bad job is good business, especially when that means someone is going to find out that their dream home is actually a nightmare. I like to sleep well. Luckily I did learn some things along the way, like asking contractors to do a job on the cheap. If they say yes, they're not going to get the job. If they explain why I should do it properly, they probably will. Getting it done right the first time may cost a bit more, but saves the extra cost, hassle and headaches of having a bad job ripped out and done properly. Flippers just don't care, because they don't see fixing their mess as their problem. They can pretty much be the definition of what happens when you just paper over the cracks.

[@rhettc5799]

From what I've seen with different retaining walls, you pretty much just don't want to use building cement blocks since they have terrible horizontal load strength. They work well for walls but like you said, it is best to fill with concert and have rebar support. That is were the problem lies since it doesn't allow easy drainage of water through the wall and it ends with it getting blown out.
