  • Hey, My name is Tom. I don't know about you but I find myself wanting to DO everything myself. I consider myself a Jack Of All Trades. Master of none. What you'll find here will be anything from building or fixing cars or trucks, building or remodeling projects and everything in between. I get myself into some pretty interesting situations.
    I'd love it if you subscribed so we can stay in touch... You might even learn something. I know I will!
    Thank you for watching!!

    Regarding the beam - the engineer who chose it should have checked for both strength and deflection. You have a claim against your engineer if you choose to pursue it. I trust that he/she is not charging you for the fix.

    It is a shame that the steel beam was not correct. Not at all your fault! I can imagine how disheartened you must have been. I thought you did a tremendous job in getting that beam into place. Just excellent work on your part! Hopefully it ALL works out in the end. ❣

    It’s hard to explain why we love watching you do this so much. Maybe it’s because you’re real n genuine. Maybe it’s because we love watching transformations. Maybe it’s because we all need hope and encouragement for how to face hard stuff and keep plugging away in the face of setbacks and obstacles. Whatever the reason we absolutely love you n Dawn both. Thanks for what you do n God bless!

    Get the I-beam situation fixed first. Have you talked to the engineer? He needs to know he doesn’t know what he is doing so he doesn’t make the mistake on someone else’s house. Has he offered to pay for the remediation? If instead the builder put in the wrong beam than what was spec’d, then he needs to fix it. If you don’t let them know about a major problem like this, they’ll keep making the same decisions. For the sake of future customers, talk to whoever caused the problem. What if the house needs lifted up again? Don’t do the lipstick until the pig is taken care of.

He’s a Jack of all trades like you are, Tom. He does excellent work like you. We’ve also had many rentals over the years. I’ve enjoyed seeing these remodels. Cannot wait to see the farmhouse reveal!!

  • @qcan8468
    @qcan8468 11 днів тому +2

    Engineer here. Be careful. Welding plates to the side of the beam may not solve the deflection problem completely. In an I-beam, the top and the bottom of the beam provide the vast majority of the resistance to bending. Side plates will help but you may just end up with less deflection. My preference would be to cut the slab, pour footers and add a couple of lolly columns. Spacing of the columns can be adjusted based on your finished basement floor plan. The lolly columns can easily be hidden in finished walls. And I agree with the other commenters that the engineering firm screwed up and should remedy the design flaw.

    As a confrontational person, I would want to know "what heck Mr Engineer Man?!" Also having worked in the field of engineering, if you come back and respectfully state the facts most engineers will be more curious about the solution than offended that physics contradicted them. Good luck! 😊

It might be Dawn’s favorite thing, but that doesn’t mean you enjoy it. You have a lot on your plate and ya know, just showing us afterward what you fixed is good too. I’m sure it’s a lot to set up the camera for every little job and makes your job bigger because of all the editing and so forth. Whatever you do is appreciated because we love you guys, but I totally understand if you’re not excited to film every single job you do.
