Blame it on the cheap homeowners, If they tested for asbestos or lead the cleanup cost would be 20K+ more than the house is worth, This is why you can buy homes in some states for $1 because of this problem & The taxes are 5K a year

Its going in the landfill 😊

Trusses are junk framing!! Stick framing is by far the way to go. I wouldn't build a shit house with a truss!!

Well trusses come with a multitude of major problems in anything but a free span application. Don’t expect you to understand or to be able to explain it with knowledge.

This is NOT from AC condensate. Overflow drain was obviously used as a floor drain for basement. The large pieces of junk would never come from condensate. The basement floor was likely cleaned with bleach, which would have oxidized the metal strainer.

So many people who make videos have no idea what they are talking about and most likely could never make even one pay check working construction.

Take note kids. Not everything on youtube is helpful

Studs 16 oc and joist 24 oc are not all going to be stacked. Add interior sheer walls that need at least 2 ft minimum sheer panel and things dont always line up. Best practice, yes, but noot the end of the world

The non-expanding foam marked "WINDOW AND DOOR" was $1 more than the other one. That, or they had regular gap filler on hand and they said "good enough". This company should win a prize that involves meeting a celebrity ... judge.

How to Frame! 🤟

Its obvious of this dudes sensationalism, hes trying to make $ on his videos. Its not drain tile, its waterguard, and its designed to sit on the footer!! It probably could of been deeper, but would require chipping the footer away. Those cracks could also been caused by curing to fast. Is there a dehumidifier in the basement and was it on??? Im not saying there isnt scammers, because there is for sure, but you wont actually know until you pull up a piece of concrete and look at the work!!!

Waterproofing doesn't start on the inside.

Are you even sure even they dug a drain? A real scammer would just scrape some portland cement on the surface to give the appearance.

Transition from 2x4 to 2x6 plates--you can't make a plate continuous. It should have a metal strap however. So it wasn't done right until they add the metal strap. Also the little block at the intersection shows a mistake as well. Actually that is not how a partition is framed. I paused the first frame and I had a hard time figuring what a lot of that framing is for. It looks like they were making it harder than it is.

Let's ignore how poorly that wall is braced with all those openings, and worry about stacking joists over studs.

while stacking the studs works when the floor and walls are on the same centers, but if your wall framing is 16" O.C and floor is 19.2" it just can t happen. also the only utilities that should ever go in an exterior wall is Electrical, and maybe an HVAC Lineset. these people in the south that put plumbing in the exterior walls are just LAZY. they often Pay the price when there is a freak cold snap. Stack when reasonable, but itst not imperative

They will never line up perfectly with doors and windows below them with king studs, trimmer studs, headers etc. They'll be close, but not really needed with a double top plate.

Cool 😎

This makes no sense. Did you just walk into someone else's site and start talking? "Acrosst" is not a word.

squeak squeak squeak 😂

I don't think you understand trusses. We used to shim and nail them in the old days. Engineers told us let them float, but we had to fasten the walls to something to keep them from moving.....then the floating truss clip was invented.

Looks like the second story was added onto partial existing framing?

Studs on 16” center with a double top plate.Joists not required to be over the studs.

Love your channel!🙂🙊🙉🙈🙃!

You've put my mind at ease! Thank you!

Hacks! They probably use a chain saw to cut sheathing.

Don't shim trusses until the house has a load on it. The crown of the trusses is part of the truss engineering. More importantly you need to be checking the bracing details on engineered drawing from the truss manufacturer. Looks to me in the video that there is possibly bracing and "strong backs" missing.

Thank you for letting me know because I'm planning on redoing my entire roof in a month

Omg 😲

ooof .....that is a problem

rock solid

No squash blocks above the beam???

Nice to see a good construction report for once. I would have wanted it primed, myself.

Code requirement vs. best practice. Best practice isn't always "the best". You don't stack when you want to limit holes being drilled in floor joist. I'm a formally trained carpenter, almost 40 years in construction and I would not have an issue with this if it were my own house.

Why the fuck would they do that

those 2x4 are not holding those trusses up it that is not going to cause drywall cracking. stop playing inspector you clear dont know that you talking about

Screw metel angle to inside wall plates flush with top of walls.fasten rock in between trusses to metal. The metal will hold the corner down when trusses lift and lower. No cracked corners

Where is the termite shield? Whoever built this is incompetent.

This guy is a asshatt of the highest level. Hope he never does a inspection on anything I work on. I would hate to have to run him off site.

That's what happens when you can't layout

The inspector found exactly what was wrong with the plumbing. A good job in my book

So im assuming you need a Licensed Electrician there to turn all the light switches on?

So HOW is the inspector supposed to inspect if stuff isn't turned ON? THAT is the point of an inspection. If there is a problem beforehand, then the utility in question (electrical, plumbing or gas) should have a lockout on it with a tag as to WHY it is locked out and WHO has locked it. THAT is standard for industrial.

Good thing that licensed plumber flooded the house instead of an idiot inspector. Maybe you should have hired the inspector to do the plumbing because the guy you got, Mr George, he no good.

Irresponsible to not have your water already turned on and issues like this worked out before the inspection.

Truss designer and prefab wall panel designer here. Typically we are instructed by the structural engineer to NOT have interior non-load-bearing walls in contact with the trusses so that the walls will not transfer load to the floor structure at a location not designed to support it. This would include shimming the plate under the trusses.

This is why if I ever get a chance to build my own home, I will not use trusses.

looks like the basement my dad built in our house in the early 80’s 👍

Agree with the comment about using a line or a laser. Basement floors are never flat.

A sill seal product should always be used between the top of the concrete foundation. And the first layer of the frame sill. Which should always be presure treated lumber. Rolls of foam are available for purchase. The product is typically referred to as sillseal.
