Home Addition in 157 Seconds

To those who are concerned about codes, realize this satisfies local building codes. This may not make sense in wet areas but here in the desert it's perfectly fine.
Cost? It's not a discussion I'm going to have. If you want to build then call a contractor and get a quote!

I wouldn't have used three 4x4 posts for the structural support at the end of the house, they will need to be replaced roughly twenty years later, possibly sooner depending on the upkeep on the siding. Other than that it's a very attractive addition.

[@stevelopez372]

[@Obeify]

@@stevelopez372 even still they got like 20 years before needing replaced. Also I didn’t see if they wrapped the poles before concreting them, so it may be even quicker that they need to be replaced. I feel like they should have added onto the bottom floor as well

If someone breaks those three trusses, or if the soil gets wet, its a wrap. If your house is too small, purchase a new one. It cost less for you to get a new house than to add an addition.

[@raymondfelton961]

Dry rot comes to mind

[@leozmaxwelljilliumz3360]

The thing that really bothered me is that they didnt put Any house wrap back on the gable end where the new addition started. I'm kinda shocked that they didnt edit that back out. Siding over bare osb is not to code which makes me wonder how many more corners were cut. For those who dont know, Osb (oriented strand board) is basically garbage after it gets wet. It's a bargain version of plywood that's really only useful for exterior sheathing if its covered with housewrap(tyvek or similar ) before water can get to it.

[@bobbyc5102]

Dude!!!!! I was watching that!!!! I saw no trace of tyvek!!!! At the top / gable

They should have put the lego sound effect when you are building

Should have sheeted and wrapped the walls before standing them then you only would’ve had to do tape and siding off the scaffold woulda saved a lot of time and money

Not sure why they didn't make the area below the addition livable space as well. Seems like an odd decision that looks "tacked on".
