Why Builders Freak Out | This may surprise you!

[@juniorsalas3687]

Crazy to hear the intro after what happened. Jaime hope you are healing well. Blessings!!! Love the content!

[@davegordon6943]

Jaime talking about cutting fingers off. Damn that's kinda freaky

[@harryl7946]

Dave Gordon I thought the same damn thing bro!

[@rubenvarela4077]

Here too

[@andrewbrown784]

Tough intro to hear now... Oof

[@pongort246]

had to do the double take to make sure

[@sebione3576]

As he was saying it, I had to rewind to make sure I heard correctly. Awful.

[@f.demascio1857]

As a plumber, the one sound that freaks me out every time is when I am filling the waste lines for test and someone in the structure (another trade on another floor) starts shouting something incoherent. I automatically think that something had blown open & water is gushing out. Gets me every time.

[@Carl-LaFong1618]

I had a homeowner barge into the bathroom when I was washing my hands. He thought a pipe had broken. Guess he must of had some bad experiences during the remodel.

[@pjplumber2146]

Amen

[@1coolcontractor]

How prophetic! I'm sure all 5 seem inconsequential after your accident. I can't imagine. Prayers!

[@nickgironda4002]

My plumber uncle told me once that they’re called “sweat” joints on copper pipe because “everybody sweats til 24hrs after the waters been turned on”! HAHA 😂 thanks for your vids I love em!

[@ottiecaulder9384]

I'm a licensed Builder plumber and electrician in the state of South Carolina I really enjoyed this video

[@emilchernickysonsbuildersi8837]

I learned the building business from my Grandfather. A full speed 100% of the time hard as nails ww2 era Marine. When we could hear the concrete truck arriving he became all that X10 and you better keep up! Thirty years later I'm running the show, we sub out all concrete, and I still get a shiver and break a sweat when "CONCRETE'S COMING!!" And yeah customers never call after hours on the weekend to tell you everything is perfect and they don't want to change anything.

[@jackson-ls4fm]

I do water mitigation for a living and water is a serious power house. Currently doing a job where the customer was out of town and her sump pump failed. She came home to 4 feet of water. Pro tip to anyone reading this if you are going to instal shelving units don’t use wood. Also spend the extra money on nice quality containers to store stuff in to keep everything dry. This is of corse for people who have basements.

[@texascraftsman7215]

A good friend had just finished nailing down the roof decking on a new house he was building and he saw a fella parked on the side of the street for the last few hours watching them after a while the guy came up and said that sure is a fine house y’all are build, my friend said why thank you sir, then man said there’s just one problem it’s on my lot he was in shock sure enough he was one lot over by law in Texas the man could’ve taken the house but he was kind and after some paperwork changed lots with him needlessly say I triple check every time I build in a subdivision LOL

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

WOW 😳! That’s a good one. Glad to hear there are some decent people left in the world… But that’s a pretty bad mistake!

[@ajs96350]

Wow.

[@rubenvarela4077]

Demmm

[@pacificnwcarpenter5486]

Whoa that's a big whoops.

[@tedmcnair9709]

Dang I guess they skip foundation surveys there??? 😂

[@joeshmoe8912]

The water sound in the pipes was the first thing that came to mind for me, and you covered it, Lol. The tape measure sound also when you are about to replace windows you had just removed. Always a sigh of relief when they fit, but WHY ARE YOU MEASURING THEM NOW!!!!

[@rebelwithoutacause5853]

lol... been off construction for about 10 years kinda miss it when I watch your videos.... only work around my house now so your videos help me that way also... Keep cranking out the videos..

[@poshima]

Ooff...“You’ve got to overcome the fear of potentially cutting your fingers off” 😬🖐🔪 ✊

[@ertyderty7]

oh the irony.

[@johnnygonzales6872]

Hey Perkins Builder Brothers, thank you for the cool videos! Keep them coming. Lol 👍

[@8coustic]

Porta john at lunch time. Every time. I've worked in Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Allways at lunch... Santa clause.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Right!?! How do they do it!!

[@michaelmason5440]

Years ago, I was helping my dad remove a old gas pipe. FYI it wasn't attatched anymore. But when my dad got it disconnected I made a hissing sound like gas leaking. OMG my dad turned white as a ghost in panick. I hope to build my own house someday. Love watching your videos. Also my moms maiden names is Perkins.

[@sebione3576]

Asshole 🤣 that's pretty epic

[@jay-rus4437]

LOL....as a GC I can relate to a lot of these. Its a crazy way to make a living. One of the only jobs that we have to find a new job at the end of the project we are on.

[@theondebray]

" I wondered if you could 'just'.... "It'll only take a few minutes..." My worst non-favourite things I want to hear. Leaking plumbing? I ALWAYS put isolators along every line, & test each section as I go along & leave it pressured up. Misunderstandings? I ALWAYS carry a notebook & record all conversations, any snags, whatever. And I ALWAYS agree on payment details & dates, write them down in front of the customer, and get payment in stages. No further work until the previous stage is paid for. Mind you, I live in a small town, and most people are just so grateful to get work done, done well & tidily, that they are only too grateful to pay up - and then refer me to other nice customers.

[@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981]

Just hearing someone call my name makes my heart race. Nobody EVER hollers to ask me how am I doing...

[@justmeandthethree]

A tenant called me a few months ago to see if I was ok. She said she hadn't seen me around in a while and worried that I might be sick. I work hard to keep tenants like her.

[@bfuisting]

Wow! That prediction was chilling to hear! I'm surprised they didn't take this video down after what happened...

[@T.E.P..]

I love this "fireside" chat .... wish there were more!

[@seabean29]

You guys are so great!!!Just love watching your shows!!!!!

[@calebwashburn3641]

The hiss of a radiant line that's buried in your freshly poured concrete floor, been there before!

[@davidspez7267]

Brilliant episode, you need to do another 👍

[@SimonHomeintheEarth]

I agree about that sound of the concrete truck rumbling up the road... Its go time!

[@kierandoherty1600]

Grey Gold

[@christyfive9584]

A cruel irony on the fingers. Love the content guys.

[@TheSlywright]

"Do you think you can...." or "How hard would it be to...."

[@mrsc120]

Ray is such a natural performer.

[@joehurtig7950]

1: Plumber forgot to put nail guard on his copper run going to the kitchen. Sheetrock was hung, house was finished , water turned on and kitchen flooded from the ceiling because a nail punctured the pipe at every joist. 2: Cleaning up after the drywall crew. The mud buckets became toilets.

[@F3Ibane]

drywall crews that don't clean up after themselves are the worst

[@KalRandom]

The sound of someone saying OH we forgot that on the peak of the roof, AFTER the scaffolding has been tore down.

[@mikejoyce9235]

The last part was very funny and so true that the pumper truck always comes around lunch time and also that is the time you're not only that you're eating but some people are trying to head there to work out what they ate for breakfast and they end up in the woods somewhere with a roll of toilet paper LOL.

[@txguy8369]

Y'all should do top 5 things you don't want to hear or see on a job sight (not including things involving the crews or work onsite). Things like owners, city inspectors, suppliers, neighbors.

[@benchippy8039]

Customer turning up and saying “I was thinking...” it’s never good

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Wow that’s a great one… I had a client once that would show up every morning and say something that started with “I was thinking.” That’s hilarious! It would usually take me a couple hours to explain that what she was thinking would cost a ton of money and be nearly impossible to do.

[@Elizabeth_ejl]

That’s the sound of money.

[@christopherholmbosmith8995]

"that's a change order" I can do that, but... $$$

[@soytupadre7887]

😂😂 Some Owners should be allowed on the jobsite 🙄🙄

[@livingtowork7297]

The “ get the sawzall” had me dead 💀 😅

[@J4M3Z.T]

Hahaha something different and fun! Good idea.

[@Nest2309]

I work in Manhattan buildings . Something that scare me a lot is when u r home it start raining and you don’t remember if u close all the windows, next thing is leaving the compressor plug ... a leaky compressor Tanya in the middle of the night it will wake up everybody else and will get u I’m trouble the next morning. Least but not last when u hit a line with a nail, we always try to work with the water running and the electricity just in case but u missed cause the music is too loud and or u don’t notice until the people In the apt bellow come to complaint @ the water in their ceiling....also during demo going to neighbors apt by accident or ceiling( in building where everything is concrete u have to dig the waste lines to change tubs and so on... anyways that’s a building builders nightmares ! Good content and very refreshing all the times!!!!

[@charleyandsarah]

Lol I can just see Joe's face when he saw that open water line Haha!

[@br6145]

The porta potty truck came once when I was in it. We are a small crew that works remote so I never lock the door. Those pump guys work so fast to get from site to site, guy was out of his truck and opening the door in 3 seconds. One of my biggest fears now.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Rightly so!!

[@theondebray]

Ha ha ha! Best one yet!

[@andylane3090]

This is so so right. From an Aussie builder

[@edgreen2526]

Enjoy all your videos very informative and very funny keep up the good work. I am curious what part of the country y'all are building in mainly? I see alot of mountains in the background of most videos

[@sendit7777]

Porta John truck story is true. Even in refineries. They are always there at lunch. So true, so true. Lol

[@jasonkey1071]

Lmao yea the porter potty guy always comes at lunch I'm like really I thought that was just my luck😂

[@BusyBeeLiving]

In any industry we have our fears... lol thanks for sharing so we know we are not alone

[@darrenmccarthy6612]

Bahaha. Same here in Australia. Love your work.

[@justsomeawesomeperson6396]

The sound of the homeowner taking out their tape measure to check your work before you’ve finished... i always know i have to explain the most basic things of the way we do things a certain way 1000 times before they finally get it... i mean: believe me, it’s not my first job.

[@jordansoucy]

Up in Ontario, the potty cleaner also shows up at the beginning of our lunch break every single time! It’s unbelievable. And it’s probably the same guy who cleans yours. I don’t know how he does it.

[@mattp5518]

I watch a lot of other american building channels but you guys i relate with the most haha everything is spot on exactly the same over here in New Zealand. HOW DOES THE PORTOLOO GUY COME AT LUNCH TIME EVERYTIME? hahaha so good

[@naphza1]

Erick bears a striking resemblance to John Denver. Love the channel btw.

[@JujoeM]

I love Ray's Lines here! :D

[@wsfwsf1497]

Sparky at house was working at, forgot nail plates in several areas. Plaster guy shot staples through lath; a hot wire--entire house was energized. Found out when owner's kid got shocked--he's okay!!

[@vansage2691]

Concrete Truck is #1. Your ears become tuned into that truck a mile away, every time it breaks and turns onto your site....the anxiety is high even after pouring many jobs a year.

[@mikeadams2252]

If you haven’t nailed something on the wrong side of the layout mark a time or two. You haven’t done much of it. Good video 👍

[@kyleridder3930]

So true. Been there done that.

[@Framer_Mike]

Right!! As simple as it is We all do it... , 47 yr old framer..

[@chrishammer4821]

If you nailed on the wrong side of a layout mark ya should a)find yourself a new layout man B) kick yourself for pulling layout wrong.

[@markwigley9185]

I wish it was possible to like a video twice. I would hit that button again and again on this one.

[@TexasTough1836]

Solution to the weekend call. Have a business cell phone and a personal cell phone. Turn off the business Cell phone after hours. Wake up to deal with the mess 7 a.m. Monday morning. 👍Great video.

[@OffRoad-jh1do]

High-end clients 1 million- 15 million dollar homes want your undivided attention 24/7. We charge them for the undivided attention 24/7 but it's still a pain in the ass.

[@nathang.1561]

Incredible. Reminds me of Arrested Development when they keep hinting that Buster Bluth is going to lose his hand

[@gnusndn301]

Yeah that early growling of that mud truck off in the distance, does it every time !

[@colinbrooks6290]

Oh,I’m stop this video now. And watch tomorrow, I’m work and I’ll enjoy the video in my time💥😂🎉🔨

[@airtightindustries]

I couldn't agree more, 11:58am is the international pump a dump time of choice! Bon appetit

[@raybeckwith7586]

These are all so true! My adrenaline peaks when I hear concrete truck to this day.

[@gageashbaugh8455]

So lucky to build in such a beautiful area...

[@justmeandthethree]

I manage rental property, and what I hate is to to see a tenant's phone number pop up on my cell phone on a Friday afternoon. Nearly 99% of the time they tell me it's a problem that they learned about on the preceding Wednesday, but they figured they would wait and see if it fixed itself. It's usually plumbing or HVAC-related. So, they call me on Friday around 5:30 pm -- when there is no way in hell I can get anyone to fix it that night. Thankfully, I have a saint of a plumber who lives within a mile of most of the properties. I once called him on a Sunday afternoon, and he showed up within 20 minutes. I felt really bad because he had just sat down to drink a beer and watch a golf tournament. He loves golf, and I love him.

[@winterfar2814]

I can relate to all of these… just thinking about it makes me nervous. Lol….

[@harryl7946]

Building a new home and I’m txting and calling every weekend I can now! Thanks Eric! 🤣 Naw. Just re-reading the contract and section 9 states I cannot enter the site without permission AND I have to be accompanied by a sellers representative. 😲

[@GarwoodNick]

Nice! Martin Crane's chair!

[@KidCity1985]

I can smell that chair from here, lol.

[@tadbarber2735]

My house didn’t flood until the finishing nail rusted that was in the pvc pipe. 🙄

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Wow!! Good seal on the nail

[@ImComatosed]

Tad Barber same happened to me while replacing my flooring. Had the builder come in and replace the pex and drywall. Thank god I did it within the year...

[@KidCity1985]

Same here.

[@pacificnwcarpenter5486]

The sounds of "heads" or the sound of cracking wood while your working a remodel

[@Framer_Mike]

"Headache!" Lol

[@yardfowl3149]

i can relate to 100% of this video, well done fellers.....

[@alexis3930]

Who know Jamie was gonna loose his fingers :/ I love you guys

[@candycrusher45]

Watching this AFTER Jamie has chopped some fingers off with a saw. Dang! But he just goes on and on. Great guy!

[@kellym3610]

The finger thing is kinda funny given the current state of his hand. I’ve had a table saw bite me a time or two, but luckily I haven’t lost anything.

[@TinManKustoms]

I always get nervous when I hear a sound of a sawsall fire up in a house Reno and then hear oh no where's the water shut off or wheres the breaker panel I think cut a wire.

[@KingParisBuckingham]

Just don't drink the moonshine whilst working...hahahahaha

[@l798pipeliner7]

Ladder falling and the sound of woo woo woo!

[@hillbert0861]

The older part of where i live(old town) is all pump sewage and water. Go to work like any other day. Then at 8ish you get the 1st wiff. And you ask who ever your working with what day it is. Pump out day!!! It smells so bad all day long.

[@aservant2287]

Every time I have a plumbing repair I fear of the unknown everytime

[@georgebliss7674]

#5 - 'is he like Santa Claus?!' So true

[@raysmith4831]

Having been in the business for 35 year's there is nothing worse then having 25 concrete trucks back to back coming to the job site

[@Framer_Mike]

Lmao! Try working at the Luxor on vegas back in 93.. lol..

[@johnbronson8928]

One truck gets me. MUDS HERE!

[@schwaggybammer968]

Had 10 the other day! Now I can't walk

[@birdinandshroomin]

Jaime! love you dude. hope you are doing well after the accident. hope to see you soon brother.

[@manuelponce3715]

You Guys Should Really do a Morpheus Meets Neo in that abandoned Mansion Scene from the Matrix, when he shows Neo the Blue and Red Pill. With Blue and Red Wire Nuts.

[@DavidSelover]

I still have stress with the concrete truck, and. Haven’t been a contractor in 13 years...

[@bladerunner6583]

Wow! I work in the Film Industry and damnit, we suffer from the same problem.... no matter where we're shooting, whether at a Studio or out on Location, the damn Honey Pumper ALWAYS shows up to pump all the Trailers as we're about to call Lunch; even if we're running late...... talk about a conspiracy....

[@josephrichardson4678]

Sorry about the hand accident actually happening. Glad I still see videos coming out.

[@bradevans7107]

Omg So true about pressure/ leak testing supply lines for the first time. Even more so that turning on a main panel after wiring in circuits. I remember an office building remodel I was on. First somebody forgot to disconnect/ cap off the power to the area we were in, so a cable got cut and knocked out the power to the buildings computer data base ...the secretaries were pissed. Then one day after hours a newbie accidentally broke a pressurized copper pipe and didn't tell anyone until someone called up the superintendent because there was a lake flooding everything out. Hahaha I'm lovin it

[@jasonc3522]

The honey wagon does like to show up around lunch, but as for horrific sounds I dread the sound of the portajon hitting the ground in a wind storm.

[@OffRoad-jh1do]

Mud!!!! Muds coming HOT!!! LOL

[@daburg11]

I always park out of the way of the porta pump truck. Nothing worse than being up on a cpl bucks of scaffolding and having to come down, taking off the tool belt and moving your truck for it.

[@guyfox9627]

He isn't lying at ALL. 😆 just like when you rebuild an engine and go to start it for the first time. Nervous wreck going over everything you did in your mind. Carpenter love.

[@AZCobraman]

Some freaky foreshadowing there.

[@Pmwgolf]

How about the sound of extending a forty foot extension ladder

[@Natedoc808]

Terrifying sound: “HEADACHE!!!!”

[@johnhansen6753]

What do you film your videos on?

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Iphone!!

[@madethehorsecry]

Hilarious great video

[@hziggles]

LOL ray gets it. no service where HE lives

[@michaelthoele1625]

The whumf sound a massive wall of of dirt collapsing into a sewer hole makes is always a creepy sound. Even if you know it’s coming.

[@Trapperjohn1000]

North Carolina Builders Stand Up good stuff

[@jacoblarsen6227]

When your partner say we've got another house to frame and it's a two story walkout with a 10/12 pitch roof. F*** my life

[@cox2432]

Me right now haha fml

[@hamptonbeverage4752]

So sad that his fear actually did come true 😩

[@yfelwulf]

Concrete trucks like to tip over. They're permanently biting chunks out of the seat cushion.

[@stevethewsimpson25]

You forgot, the sound of silence. When you get back to the job site and find that your workers are screwing off and eating thru your money.

[@smokingcheeba420]

Ahh yes its an art doing nothing and getting paid for it.

[@hikehunter9572]

The sound of the voice of the county guy telling you the plat is wrong and your set back is off by 21 inches, concrete is scheduled for 5am the next day.
