It amazes me how well you work with your clients. She has been there through the whole build. As a tradesman nothing makes me more nervous than the person who hired me to be looking over my shoulder watching my every move. Not many businesses would be as easy to work with as your team makes it.

Eric, an idea for a future video. Since Rumell is so pleasant and willing to be a part of the build series why not follow up with her 6 months from now after things have had a chance to settle in. Pick a few decisions you made during the build and see how they turned out.

Having your dream home built by the awesome PBB crew: it just doesn’t get any better than that! Congrats to Rammele on your beautiful new home and kudos to the crew for an awesome job!!

[@ramellesmith1520]

Thanks for watching and cheering me and PBB and crew on. They filmed the last bit today of a couple of follow ups items as I was going to my storage unit to start getting furniture and what not in the house. They are posting about 2 1/2 weeks behind right now. Grateful that I should be living in my house prior to my stated deadline of my birthday! Bldg inspector should be coming out tomorrow , the 22nd! I have some packing and hauling of my personal items and some kitchen stuff. So hopefully by early next week I’ll actually be living in my dream home!

[@DrTubeman]

@@ramellesmith1520 I really love your new PBB built home Ramelle from the architectural design to the colors both inside and outside that you've chosen throughout your house and in every area looks slick as wonderful. Thanks for sharing your part of the journey of having your home built by the PBB crew Ramelle, its very rare that the viewers get to see input from a new house build owner, so you being there as the house was getting built, seeing your choices, input, and helping the PBB crew was like you were just another member of the PBB crew. Wishing you all the very best living in your brand new home Ramelle, I'm sure your new home will give you decades of happiness, memories, and comfort. Cheers Walt.

[@ramellesmith1520]

@@DrTubeman - thank you so much. Not all the PBB subscribers appreciated my being there. It was a very special contractor/ crew/ client situation that allowed me to become “part of the crew”. I am ever grateful for the experience and to know the ins and outs my house so intimately. And thanks for appreciating my choices. Again, not everybody does. But at the end of the day it’s what makes me happy and that’s what matters. I am over the top satisfied with the whole package and know I will enjoy my home immensely. Can’t ever thank PBB and crew, my architect and the PBB partners enough for my absolutely stunning home. And I should probably thank myself for having the ability to persevere to pull off this project - from helping clear the land to making choices on interior design and getting on the way to living in my dream home. There are also a ton of friends and family who helped me in all kinds of ways. Heart full here!

Electrician from Texas here. Flipping breakers right in front of your face like Jay did probably won't cause you any trouble, BUT if the breaker is faulty that's the last spot you want to be. Best practice is to stand to the side of the equipment to avoid injury from arch flashes.

Bourbon Moth Woodworking did a test in his garage with the combustibles, was truly eye opening. Definitely combustible.

[@peterrosenberg8716]

@Bourbonmoth did a great video about the dangers of stain and finish soaked rags. He knew what he was doing, set the test up intentionally, and still damn near burnt his shop down. Put all this stuff in a fire proof waste bin with a lid!

[@JoeMcFarlanesgoogle]

I have a large rock I keep outside my shop. After I stain, I just lay the rag over the rock to let it air dry

[@greybear3090]

Got my coffee...You guys are the best,,,team chemistry, attention to detail, just the best

[@David-ge4pf]

Based on the stain/paint, it can give off heat as it cures. So, if you pile them together they can generate a lot of heat which can start the fire.

[@andrewthompson14]

Great tip about the stain rags! My brother's garage almost burned down last year because he put all his stain rags in a pile in the trash bin.

[@MrBswede]

Bourbon Moth channel did a video on different types of solvents/finishes on rags and seeing if they would combust. it took some time but several did! Definitely need to be careful.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Theres a heritage village in my town, its full of historic buildings that have been moved there. About 5 years ago a house that was being restored there burnt to the ground, because they left the oily rags on the porch when they went home for the night, and they lit up. I generally burn rags that I am worried about before I'm done the project, can't start a fire if they're already burnt 😅

[@DeanOfTools]

Good morning guys- I’ve built homes starting 40 years ago and I still learn from you! Your videos kept me entertained while was recovering from cancer. Now all I do is make videos on KZbin for the fun of it! I would love to meet you all some day!!!

[@DeanOfTools]

Anon, your reply means so much to me. Without getting into details, it doesn’t look like I will have a full recovery, but I will live. Coincidentally im going in this morning for a follow-up. I’m so nervous, but it is what it is. Cancer is so unfair. I honestly hope for a good outcome for you. I would like to hear back from you sometime but I don’t know how to give you my email privately.

[@AlAmantea]

Jamie, most of the hood manufacturers actually have a specification for the height of the hood off the stove to make sure they are drafting from the stove and not the whole kitchen. If you don't get the height right, it makes the hood much less efficient and can actually cause it to draft from the surrounding area and not work at all. Those specs should be in the installation manual (not the operating manual) that comes with the hood, and can also be downloaded from the manufacturer's websites.

[@Yellow_cub]

I can speak to the spontaneous combustion of staining rags. I’m a property insurance adjuster. In the last few years I have had more claims involving building fires from chemical soaked rags (like stain) than any other cause. Discarded cigarettes 🚬 and batteries 🔋 going on a thermal runway are close at numbers 2 and 3 for likely causes.

[@jeffbeard5200]

Hey, have you ever tried the furniture moving straps? That vanity looked like the ideal situation, although you’d use them both on the front instead of the ends.

[@leslieapplegate65]

The house is looking fabulous!! As to the rags combusting - My Hubby (when he was in the Navy) saw some rags someone had set on the sill of a window and caught it just before it took off and burned the command post in the ship down....

[@zephyr1408]

Take your trim piece in this case a piece of base. Then “ gently butt it into the miter saw blade as it sits on the fence ? Now let your blade up and make your cut? Usually a 32 nd or a 64 th if your good ! Pro tip from finish carpenter!

for the vanity plumbing, why not cut and pull the pipes into the basement, slide the vanity in place and then push the plumbing back up into the vanity and reconnect basement plumbing?

I love your meticulousness. I love learning, and every episode shows me something new. Today, I learned about rags with stain being potentially self-combustible . Thank you! Question: could you not have removed that (very heavy) countertop for the bathroom vanity? I paused to comment, so I guess I'll find out LOL

[@Mvtbhonx]

Inside wireman from Los Angeles and I’ve done a lot of service calls with commercial lighting and homes. And those wagos are always the reason a light is out with the new led can lights. They will burn up when the contact isn’t perfect. It can be installed correctly but the thin metal bussing will act as a fuse and burn up. I’ve seen some completely gone burned up and disappear when I pulled the wires out the box and the breaker never tripped. So to avoid ever having to be called out for my work I avoid wagos and stick to old fashioned wire nuts. But I’ll always take the call to go out and fix them. Lol

[@dhawthorne1634]

AvE Did a video on rags soaked in curing oils. While it is TECHNICALLY possible for them to build up enough heat for them to combust, it is highly unlikely. He managed to get a pile of absolutely saturated rags to start to smoke, but no matter how hard he tried to get them to ignite on their own, it wasn't until he mixed in some saw dust and birch-bark tinder that it actually caught a flame. The one example I found of someone getting them to burn on time-lapse, he had a kerosene heater going and his shop was already well over 125F (50C). Unless the ambient temperature is over 80F (26C) and you are piling up rags about 6" deep, they're not going to build enough heat to combust. Good practice would be to leave them in open air to dry and keep them away from anywhere they could catch a spark (woodstove, grinders, ramset, tools with brushed motors, etc). Personally, if I'm going to be using more than one at a time, I put a bucket of soapy water nearby to toss them in so they are easier to clean and re-use and if I use paper towels to clean up drips or clean it off my hands, I just toss them into my ash bucket to use as tinder the next time I light my charcoal smoker or fire pit. Once cured, they work the same as those wax and lint, homemade fire starters, just with a shorter burn time.

Hi I will try again, the white pvc pipes that stick out near the main power connection (that Jason flipped on in the beginning) I always prime and paint those to match the wall color behind them, as well as the electrical box and the gas meter, etc and the roof vent pipes, the home owner will really appreciate that, as it makes the outside eyesores (white pvc, yuck) disappear, try it you will like it!!!

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Erik, Any mineral spirit can combust at about 62 deg. F. A rag in a wad will flash easier.

[@GlennTillema]

Why do stain rags spontaneously combust? The oil in the rags evaporates by combining with the oxygen in the air and the chemical reaction produces heat. If you have the rags wadded up or piled in a can it traps the heat and "woosh" it catches fire!

[@migueltor6434]

That was a tight vanity.

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Only oil based stains can spontaneously combust because of the petroleum. Either put them outside as you did or lay them out flat on a metal or non flammable surface or place them in an airtight metal can away from air. Sometimes rinsing them will work but I’ve felt them heat up if not done enough. Just my two cents… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BZ1340]

We always went 30 inches off the counter height or stove height. It covered us in case the stove was ever a gas stove cooktop

[@donaldbotsai5799]

I know you guys don't really focus on the "after life" of your projects, but Id love to know how the "catio" is received. Any thought of heating a portion of the catio floor?

[@caveweta]

Those stain rags cause a lot of fires in garages and workshops. Also rags using linseed oil. Best practice, put them outside in a metal container, let the fumes disperse in the open air. Same for your wood burner ashes, take them outside in a metal bucket and leave on the ground. They can still be active for a week or so. Don’t know how many fires I’ve been to where the homeowners have put ashes in a plastic bucket and left them on the timber deck by the back door. Doh!

[@tomaskara902]

just an idea for the holes in the door frame, what would happen if you used steam, for example a steam iron on clothes, could the wood expand to shrink the holes? i saw other guys use this technice for dents in the wood. They used some clothe and ironing.
