To fix all of the major inspection faults in an hour is amazing. I bet most builders need more even if they are building cookie cutter houses. Sell that inspector some ice at a discount!
Ha Andrew. Afternoon. I think you pass before watching. Tuning in from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲
You still can be crazy and still know stuff, just saying. Going fast and looking great. God Bless
Tyvek is NOT a vapor barrier. Air and water.
Andrew, it's been awhile since I told you.... YOU ARE AWESOME! Great job!
Thank you very much for the support
That's it Andrew, I'm having you build my house! 😁
Awesome job and congrats...now time for a couple days off and a beer 🍺 😀 you deserve it!
Thank you very much
Congratulations Andrew. Sigh of relief passing the inspections.
Yes a big sigh of relief!
Congrats on a couple of minor dings on your inspections, but overall passing your inspections. I am sure you are so relieved, enjoy your couple of days off.
Andrew, you have done so many things to make the inspection day easy:
* You developed a rapport with your inspector. You contacted them frequently and asked many questions.
* You turned to those who are professionals in their field of work and picked their brains and listened to some of their advice.
* You looked up the codes and studied them.
* You went through and methodically pulled your wire, and ran your pipes.
Thank you very much! I really do appreciate the time you have personally taken to answer a lot of my questions. Really means a lot!
Going back and watching old vids.....what a great feeling when inspectors treat your work as good as many or better than some professionals!!! WTG!!!
Yes I was proud that day. He's given me a lot of compliments.
@@TKCL watch ur mail next week, will send some Wisconsin goodies
It is obvious by watching this video that you are incredibly proud to have passed your inspection with flying colors and you should be. For a homeowner with relatively little experience building new homes the quality of your work is top notch. Obviously the inspector feels the same. You have a stake in the game to do the best quality of work to end up with the best possible home in the end. The vast majority of people in the trades are in it for the paycheck and obviously don’t have a stake in the game for a great result. Im proud of you that you are more concerned about it being done right regardless how long it takes or how much it costs. In the end you will have a home that is exactly what you want and can be very proud of. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much! The old saying anything worth doing is worth doing right is burned into my brain.
So glad you have an experienced and friendly inspector. And, thank you for your videos.
Thank you for watching
Congrats Andrew, great job and so much hard work not to mention money.
Thank you very much
Congratulations, you have gone above an beyond.
Thank you
Congratulations sir....well done! "NOW FOR THAT FISHING TRIP"
Or hunting trip now that a cold front is blowing through...
Congrats Andrew your doing well sounds like you have good relationship with your electrical inspector after doing electrical for 48 years i definitely have learn you need to build relationships so good luck the rest of the way
Thank you very much
Good vid to learn from, especially the part about reading the codes. You did well only having those minor fixes. March on, Brutha !
Thank you
Based on the what I have seen through your journey building this home I felt confident you would have passed these Inspections without major issues. You are the type of individual that dots the "eyes and crosses the t's" with anything he does. You basically leave nothing to chance and that is a trait that I admire in an individual. As I have said before you and Tiffany will have a Fantastic home to enjoy the rest of your lives and your doing a Fantastic Job. Someday I look forward to maybe shaking your hand as my wife and I get our house sold and get mobile and seeing the country.
Thank you very much for the kind words
Congratulations on a good inspection! You have done a lot of research before I you started working on the house! Have a great rest of the week!
Thank you
Glad you passed inspection
Yes Iowa in the farm land area allows me to build anything I want with out any permits at all.
Although I paid professionals to do the work I need. Old farm house burnt down because of bad wiring. So went through and changed a lot of the wiring on the property
Sorry to hear that
Great news. Thanks for showing your devoted work attention
Thank you for watching
I've said it before. So impressed with you. Congratulations!
Thank you very much
Kudos and congratulations. Never doubted it for a minute.
Thank you
Thank God you've passed it and can progress with biting off that elephant:))) p.s. sorry for the heater, your OCD eyes will hurt watching that imperfection:)))) Most important thing is that it shows you're building a SAFE house for years to come!!!
Thank you
I had no worries that you would not pass, I even missed the ground strap on the gas line and the dishwasher plug being inside a cabinet Within Reach. good job Andrew good job
Thank you
Congrats on getting a very good inspector for your house. Im happy that the adjustments were minor and not anything huge.
Thank you
Congratulation Andrew, I was pulling for you all the way. It sure pays to read codes and get some good advice
Thank you very much
Great job on the inspections, never had a doubt you would pass with flying colors!! You are a true amateur professional!!
I did a big remodel on a farm in ND 15 yrs ago and called the township to get a building permit and found out I lived in a township that didn’t require any permits other than an electrical permit. The township person actually told me that 48% of townships/parish’s/boroughs in the US do not require building permits. CRAZY!!
Wow that's a very high percentage
Let me guess more plugs in mine and Chris room plus we get a fireman pole to come down and a zip line going out the windows with an elevator 🤞🏽🤞🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.... That was awesome news to hear I'm glad I wasn't too stressed over what the inspector found I don't know if I could hold myself that long 😉😉😉
Keep dreaming! 🤣
@@TKCL I'm sure we can get people to give us 200 thumbs up on the live stream for fireman pole
🤦
Building a rapport with your inspectors will be very important towards the end of your build.
I agree!
you have to bond the cold water as well outside faucet
How do you bond pvc piping?
Congratulations on the inspections! Now for a few days off.
Thank you
Congratulations on your inspection
Thank you
Great achievement! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
yup! I also paid for an electrician to do some rough elect work...bam; failed for improper grounding----literally fixed on the spot b/c I just happened to have some green wire nuts in that 'elect tool box' congrats! it's so easy to read the codes; they're although interpretation is why local inspectors are there to help!
Awesome!! Man, you helped me more than anybody. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Hard work pays off! Congratulations man!
Thank you
Congratulations you have done a fantastic job
Thank you
Great job Andrew! Know you have to be proud and pleased. More things off the list!!
Yes I am proud of what I am accomplishing! Don't get this feeling at a job too often. Take care and God bless
@@TKCL Agreed, happy for you man! Take care yourself.
This is great news! Congratulations!
Thank you very much
Nice work Andrew! I would definitely call that a success.
Absolutely! Thanks
My father built a house with only an aerobic septic system permit being required.....about 14 yrs ago in n/e Texas. Its still that way here out in the county areas, I believe.
Congratulations you passed that took a lot off your plate. Now on to the next job 😃
Thank you
Congratulations, great job.
Thank you
Andrew, really enjoying your build.
Thank you for watching
Congratulations. Great job
Thank you
Been following along. Congratulations on passing. Lot of nice clean tidy work
Thank you very much
I would have brought the outlet under the sink out a little bit more for the cabinet
Going to need your storm shelter we have a northeastern rain and wind storm 70mph winds been 16 hours with out power
It's supposed to get nasty here tonight and tomorrow. High winds, rain and tornado threats. Stay safe!
I or We had total confidence in your professional install. I wish you had built my house.
Thank you very much
Thanks!
Great job Andrew!!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Well done lots of hard work paid off x
Thank you
Congratulations I knew I would go well. Yup I am watching Keeping it Dutch in Oklahoma. Absolutely no inspections required. Built it the way you please. He has no experience and it shows.
Lol
Well done Andrew!
It is really great that your inspector is such an excellent one...I had to do some electrical work...mine was also the head guy at the permit office...he was a good one too.
He really took the time to talk with me to help me understand the WHY things are to be done a certain way...made everything further on easier to do.
That's the way it should be, people helping people.
3:47 I'll say it louder for those in the back. Put the water heater inside. Ask Matt risinger.
Man for someone who says they aren’t a carpenter, you’ve done a dam fine job. I wouldn’t have known where to start. Good job and you saved your self a lot of money.
Thank you very much
Congratulations man!! That’s awesome!
Thank you!
Yes sir that’s great news . Nice job Andrew congratulations , hard work pays off .
Thank you very much
Thank You!!!!! Big help on the grounding part. I live in Mexico and most houses are built with horrible wiring due to the fact that people look for the cheapest price. And you don't need an inspection to have the power company connect your house. As well most electricians don't add grounding to the wiring of the house. I'm trying to learn so I can try to rewire my home. Wanting to add a main breaker panel and get rid of the simple fuse box. Problem I had was figuring out the grounding, I know you have to ground your panel but I was confuse on how to do it if the meter box is grounded because here, the power company does require you to ground it. Wasn't sure if I needed one rod for the meter and another one for the panel. But here I got a better idea on doing it. I spent hours watching videos, researching online, but this video was the answer for my question.
Here we we are required to ground at the meter panel with #6 copper wire to two 8ft earth ground rods spaced at least 8ft apart. There is also confusion here with some areas requiring meter or main panel grounding. Technically the big neutral Waite from the meter box is connecting ground from the meter box to the main panel. All sub or secondary panels require grounds to be on a separate grounding bar and not connected to the neutrals.
Good job Andrew the house is coming along nicely.
Thank you
Thank you
Congrats, Andrew. Happy to see and hear that you passed your inspections with some very minor adjustments! You should celebrate, it’s Miller time!!
That's exactly right! 🍻
You have bragging rights on the job you've done to date. You have made every effort to educate yourself, and do your best. Congrats!
Thank you
Yay!!!!! Great job.
Thank you
Well done..
Thank you
Happy for you
Thank you
This aint even my house and i was anxious to hear the results and happy to hear it went well. Think I'm even happier to say that "we" passed inspection 😅...Congrats man!!
It is we! A lot of viewers are deeply involved in this entire process. Thanks for watching
Congrats on lucking out and getting a good inspector! There are way too many inspectors out there that seem to hate their job and love to cause grief. Getting a good inspector makes life so much easier
It does!
He didn’t luck out at all. The inspectors job is to insure the homeowner gets a home built to the plans and specifications and the contractors don’t cut corners to make more money. It Andrew’s case as the homeowner and the contractor he would just be cheating himself not to do the best job possible. The vast majority of inspectors just want to see a quality job and the inspectors in my experience will go out of the way to help owner builders do a good job.
Congratulations!!!
Passing your “midterms” is a major accomplishment and deserves as massive WELL DONE!!!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much
Good morning. Building Permits & Inspectors are kinda ,again kinda like gun laws. Some places are laid back others knit pick the tiniest things.
But both sides of the fence can make it easier or rough pending the day being had.
Great job! If the inspector watches your UA-cam channel, he could just start commenting his approvals and save some fuel 😉
That could be good..... And bad!
Congratulations on your inspections. Your inspector had an easy job for a once. He can check out your videos and see how careful you are on your build. I bet you will sleep better tonight than you did last night. You are amazing. Great job.
Yes it's a huge relief!
Congratulations! Your hard work was rewarded as it deserved to be.
Thank you
Hi, Andrew! Great job. I knew the inspectors would not be able to find much wrong. AWESOME!!!!!!!
Thank you
Congrats on passing the inspections. “Overdo is what I do”, sounds like a t-shirt slogan.😉
Thank you
Good on you for being stand up and honestly expressing your interactions and thoughts with the inspector. That was impressive, BUT knowing you, I would not have expected anything else. Good Job my friend on doing your homework everyday and not staying up all night cramming before the big exam. Congrats too on your views. when I saw that you uploaded an hour ago, there were already 943 views. I was # 944. We gotta work on the likes though, only about 23%. What's wrong with you people? This is great content!
Lol get em! Thank you for the support
Congratulations, you have done a outstanding job. The best part about you building this yourself is you know ever inch of the construction and all of the videos will help you track down any issues in the future
That's very true
Hey mate. Well done on the inspection, and congratulations to you, for taking the time to read the code, and to do such an impressive job.
I don't see the inspector finding things for you to change as a negative to you. Far from it. I see it as a positive that you will know you have a perfect and a very safe house.
The inspector is there to help you and assist you to interpret the codes. Thankfully you got a really nice guy who really appreciated the study and work you did yourself. All your hard work and dedication to the job IS paying off.
Be extremely proud of yourself Andrew. We are all super proud of you. Thank you for allowing us to come along for the ride, it has been amazing so far, and we will all be there till the end and beyond.
Love and best wishes to you, Tiffany and Bullitt (not sure on spelling there) From Jack and Family.
Thank you very much for the support and the kind words, God bless!
Andrew I am so glad your inspection went well, but no surprise knowing you did it. You and Tiffany are going to have a first class house. All the best going forward. 🇨🇦
Thank you very much
i know we were talking about learning from UA-cam but you have took it to a extreme level...you actually built a house from learning from UA-cam and your videos has become an addiction...i wonder do they have a video on how to build a good women like on that weird science movie lol
Lol glad you enjoy them!
I did Electrical for years then moved on to Fire Alarms there's States that dont require License to work on Fire Alarms. That surprised the hell out of me . Some Areas are just super lax
Sure are, it's amazing to me how different codes are from place to place when there is a national code.
Great attitude towards inspections. So much of it is intended for fire and life safety NOT to cost more money and grief. I’ve found when you try to smoke something past an inspector is when he crawls up your…. Be honest with them, ask questions if you’re unsure and the process can go quite easy. House is looking great.
I agree!
Congratulations Andrew I told you on the livestream if you do your job right you don't have to worry about the inspector
Way to go Andrew! I knew you'd do well because your diligent and you desire perfection! So happy for you. Congratulations!
Thank you very much
Congratulations on your inspection, your study of codes and attention to detail paid off. I enjoy your videos...keep up the great work.
Thank you
Did you even sleep last night? That’s awesome that you only had to fix a few things:) tfs:) stay safe and God Bless:)
It was nerve racking!
Congrats on an excellent inspection. OCD pays off. Keep up the good work and excellent videos
Thank you
I'm very glad things are going well for you Andrew. Thanks for keeping us updated. Love your channel. Take care and God Bless.
Thank you very much, God bless
Glad to hear inspection went good! Now onto making it a home! Great job
Thank you
Congratulations and you can take credit for every bit of it. Great job for doing it right the first time and keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you, but some credit definitely goes to viewers who helped.
🎈CONGRATULATIONS🎈 Andrew on a job(s) well done!! Truth is it is kind of what I expected, after watching your attention to detail all these months. I know you and Tiffany are both so excited by these big wins on inspections! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Thank you very much
@@TKCL You're very welcome sir!!
Love your optimism and how you don't blame the inspector for dinging you, rather you see what he goes through and you do what you can to do things right and help him as he helps you. You don't see that anymore, in fact here in California I'm scolded by people for trying to teach them how to be that way. Proud of you, keep up the great work!
Thank you very much
I knew you would pass with flying colors. You have done such a great job and care so much about your home. I am in Atlanta and if I drip paint on an outlet and want to replace it I have to have an electrician pull a permit, do the work and get it inspected. In my small town inside Greater Atlanta they did away with grandfathering so technically they could do a full house inspection and pull our CO if they were in the mood and found 50 year old issues.
That's just crazy!
Congratulations on the inspections. You are doing a spectacular job!! 💪
Thank you
Congrats Andrew, excellent job well done. It pays to read the codes 👍👍
Thank you
So happy for you. All in all I'd say it went very well. Great job!!! That housewarming live stream is in the near future!!
Can't wait! Thanks
Where I live we only have to have a electrician inspection
That's not uncommon as I'm understanding. I'd like that here, but your house is built only as good as you make it.
Great job.
I seen something about those blue electrical box's its a shortage of resin.
Thank you! That's what I heard too, based on the Texas freeze up.
Yeah it's a issue everywhere
High five dude !!!!! Those were pretty easy fixes and I'm sure you can make the water heater look like a pro.
I was 11 when my pawpaw died and I'm 46 now and I'll never forget what he said to a man once. He said why do I want to wipe my ass with a corn cob and not toilet paper. It makes more work for my wife. Now I get it!!!! If you do the job right the first time it makes less work for you and others later on down the road. Sorry that was a bit graphic but I swear it's true
Lol 🤣
he's not talking about homeowners. He's talking about professionals. You would be shocked, truly shocked how many professional workers in any field do not actually know or care to know the actual codes, regulations, laws, policies and procedures that their job operates under and their as part of their professional responsibility they are supposed to know.
I was going to comment the same thing. 25 years as a commercial construction superintendent and the things that some supervisors in the trades don’t know. I would study codes to keep my subs in order, Andrew glad your moving ahead with the build.
Thank you James
@@DieselRamcharger arbitrary is almost the complete opposite of what the words regulation and law mean
I don't know if you have done it already but given the length involved which is short, for those cpvc lines to the hot water heater, if you don't want to see them, just run them down from the point they emerge from the house, under the ground and then up to the hot water heater. This has the added benefit of when you get those tropical or hurricane strength winds, they won't blow a heavy object into the horizontal run of that CVPC and possibly break it (I read something years ago that horizontal runs of anything are more vulnerable to weather damage than vertical runs, which makes sense if you think about it). Personally on that side of the house, and take this with the grain of salt that I don't live down there yet, I might be inclined to plant a small grove of protective trees to act as barrier for anything to be blown into that area with the service panel, meter and hot water heater. You could turn it into a decorative sitting area around one of your fire pits to hide its purpose.
That's a thought!
