    Hello James, get an electrician to check if the door has any voltage, there might be an expose wire somewhere, that is dangerous. It’s common on new houses to have that problem it’s better to get it taken care of early

    • @isaacfrazier2202
      @isaacfrazier2202 Рік тому +65

      To add to this, if there is voltage then your metal doors need to be bonded to the rest of the house. That way the doors will be equal potential to the surrounding area. It can be dangerous so please have someone look into that soon

      As an electrician, where that sliding door is, right underneath it a bunch of 5-6" wafer lights. I also know that if there recessed cans that's more room to push towards that door. Personally I give it a week. Keep checking if the door has that decent shock when touched. Then consider an professional to look into the problem.

    • @zfpv7211
      @zfpv7211 Рік тому +29

      It’s not an electrical connection to the door. It’s static caused by the new carpet. Happened at my new house for a few months too. It has a high enough dielectric field that it can even work through rubber shoes. If it was an electrical wire, it wouldn’t just spark, it would shock you. Typically static discharge or a couple thousand volts. Hence why you can hear it.

    James, just a friendly caution, I cook on a stove often and whenever I cook something that has grease or fat that splatters at high heat, it hits the tile which in my house is glossed over but it might get absorbed by the brick and stain if you aren’t careful. Just a thought.

    • @aussiemetalkid00

    • @ElTurfStuff
      @ElTurfStuff Рік тому +21

      You're dead right about this,, the brick has to be sealed against grease and moisture, but with a mat finish. Also, if you don't do this, you can actually end up with little brick dust particles that would make very short work of that nice granite top.

    Your house project is coming along nicely, and it has been a pleasure to watch its progress.
    We designed and built a house in NY in 1991. We still have that place but also have a place in TX.
    The work and research involved in designing and building a home is immense.
    A few quick recommendations...
    1. Yes, put in a larger range hood. Cooking vaporizes oil (aerosols) and it will get everywhere. You want a good rangehood to take out as much of that as possible.
    2. I don't recommend going with red brick on the backsplash. It will be a nightmare to clean. Typical red brick is just too coarse and oil and other dirt will get stuck in the small crevices...and the mortar gaps in between...ugh! This is not a problem for exterior brick where a good rain or a hose down with a pressure washer is enough to clean it...not an option for interior.
    3. If you REALLY want to go with brick, consider dense oven baked or fire brick (used to line interiors of furnaces). These are dense bricks and have a fine/smooth appearance. At least the front surface area will be much easier to clean and maintain. You still have to worry about the mortar...so consider flush mortar lines (though that takes away from the typical brick appearance).
    4. Think about a larger (professional) range or rangetop...Viking or Wolf. I recommend, if you can still find them, (commercial) open burner style instead of sealed burners. I think BlueStar still makes them, but you might be able to find them in the Viking Professional range. I'm not sure if you have a 30-inch or a 36-inch, but I recommend a minimum 36 and you might even be able to fit in a 48-inch cooktop.
    5. Consider a built-in fridge...SubZero. You really need a SubZero. They come with dual compressors (one for the fridge and one for the freezer) and are extremely reliable and long lasting...and they look really good!
    6. Consider a Miele dishwasher (if you don't already have one).
    7. Consider a double oven and a separate built-in microwave. Wolf is a good brand.
    Yes, my recommendations will likely mean a total redesign of the kitchen, but you have a spectacular house. You really should also have top of the line appliances and convenience in the kitchen to match it.

  • @HeyItsJA
    @HeyItsJA Рік тому +115

    The shock from the metal window/door frame is because your carpets (which are likely a plastic-based material like polyester) build up static really easily, and if you're wearing things like socks it'll only build up more/faster, so just the act of walking up to the window/door is going to build up charge that discharges when you touch the metal, hence the shock.
    You could maybe look into some sort of non-conductive coating like a clear plastic film (imagine PPF but much thinner) or clear varnish. Metal fabricators may have some better solutions.

      Just throwing it out there...perhaps replace the metal handles with some nice wooden handles (maybe mahogany or other wood) so it will eliminate the electric discharge Strad is creating from walking on his carpets and then touching the metal doors.

    • @poldelepel
      @poldelepel Рік тому +2

      He could also change the carpets…
      Also the electric shocks are bigger when the air is dry. Now that room isn’t closed from the garage (big opening at the stairs). I assume the air in the garage is much colder, and when heated up in the room next to it, the heated air would get dryer (basic physics). So putting a door between the upstairs room and the garage, would make the air less dry and thus he would get less shocked. Still shocked, but less.
      He could also wait till summer to check that theory…

    • @styner3
      @styner3 Рік тому +3

      It also could be a lack of humidity in the house, it's very cold and the heat takes the humidity of the house. A humidifier adds moisture eliminating the shock. My house did the same thing before I added one. He's not standing on carpet.

    For the static shock on your doors, you can try a humidifier to bring moisture into the air because static shocks are more frequent in dryer air than in moist air. There's also static wrist bands you can get that should help. Also, if your socks are wool or if you're wearing anything wool, that will increase your charge and therefore increase your chance of getting shocked. So wearing cotton socks can help you reduce the chance as well. Your shoes could also be a contributing factor as well. If you have rubber sole shoes, that could help reduce the chances of a shock. Also, wearing polyester clothing will help reduce the chances. Layering clothing will increase the chances.
    This one is probably going to be the easiest but also not necessarily a permanent fix. Try using a coin to touch the metal with first. It should help diffuse the charge you've built up and get rid of the intense shock. It should get rid of the shock altogether, but it's not something I've tried as i don't have doors like your yours, and it's just something that helps me in the winter here in Tennessee when i get out of my car and go to close the door. It helps prevent me getting shocked. So it should work, but only way to really know is to try. Hopefully any of these help you.

    @TheStradman You shouldn’t put red brick everywhere inside the house because then if you have so much red brick and dark grey it’s going to make the house feel small. I recommend making some accent walls and painting/keeping the house with its light colors. If you decide to paint it I recommend a fossil white looking paint or a warm white. But the house looks great an I agree with the idea of having red brick where the Ferrari would be in the wall that would look sick.

    of the options for the garage floor, the one you missed is to simply do epoxy floors. when you add the chips and stuff you can even you can choose the colors. so maybe something like a grey base, with black and red chips to match the brick. and getting all those light switches on one isn't that difficult. replace the switches themselves with Lutron Caseta ones. then you can use an app on your phone to turn them on all at once. automate them to motion sensors, etc. you could even add a second switch that controls them all at once. I'm honestly surprised with all that went into the house, that there's not much proper smart home stuff.

    Hey Strad - been watching you for a long time. I love your content. I'm very happy for you doing what makes you happy.
    Two tips based off this video.
    1. Static Electricity - put a cupful of liquid fabric softener in a spray bottle full of water. Shake thoroughly and spray the carpet. FYi - The carpet doesn't need to be soaking wet. When you start getting shocked again, spray some more. Should last around 1-2 months (depending on humidity levels).
    2. To many light switches - change them out to WiFi switches. You can then create groups to control multiple switches through Alexa ("Alexa - turn on main garage"). Bada bing bada boom!
    I would love to swing by and meet you sometime. My ride is a Ducati 1199 Panigale S (Black with carbon fiber and blue chrome accents). I would love to race it against any car of your choice - just for fun if course!
    Keep up the great work!

  • @Dave-Hardstyle

    the door/window looking out into the garage isn't grounded properly which is why you get a shock touching it. while that isn't a massive issue, it can mean differential breakers or even regular magnetic breakers can switch off due to a current being drawn. to solve that, i think it best to contact an electrician

    James... another great video. While I'll be the first to admit that I am not usually much interested in home reno videos, I always enjoy your updates, so please keep them coming. Next, while I may not always agree with your design decisions, NO ONE gets to make them but you, so do what you want. That being said, as you're going to install the Ferrari as if it were a piece of art (which it very much is), framing it properly is absolutely critical to achieving the impact you're hoping for. To that end, I suggest doing some renderings *before* the final mounting. The brick may be cool, but it creates a very busy backdrop (multiple shades of red as well as a complex pattern of white created by the grout lines). At the risk of overstepping, might I suggest that you place a dark rectangle - perhaps made to look like the tarmac of a race track - behind the car? I think it would look great against the brick, would suit the subject perfectly, and offer a great high contrast backdrop for whatever color you eventually choose for the Ferrari itself. Looking forward to seeing whatever you end up choosing... thanks again for bringing us all along for the ride!

    For the *Shock* youre getting when you touch the doors, you might try a humidifier in that room. My parents have a house in Arizona, the floor is wood but just walking around you get a static shock on EVERYTHING, soon as they put a humidifier in it went away for the most part. Might be worth a try.
    btw, I can literally hear through my headphones when you get shocked lol, so its coming through the mic its that bad.

    Get a Whole Home Humidifier. You may only need to run it in the winter as it gets really dry in our area in the winter, that whould reduce the static electricity dramatically. I figure you are probably at 20-25% at night (even less as Jan/Feb come along), getting it up to at least 40-45% will drastically reduce the static. Also will help preserve any natural finishes, like wood flooring and furniture. It will keep it flooring from contracting and showing gaps. It will also help with wood trim and doors and make the wood and finish last longer. Also will help keep any glues plyable (like the glue that you adhere the floors with). It will also help your skin.
    For those echoes, you need furniture, rugs and acoustic panels (art) all over the house. That will all help dramatically - especially the acoustic panels (disguised as art) .

  • @Mo_Klonus
    @Mo_Klonus Рік тому +1

    The humidity level is probably low by those doors in that part of your house. I don't know how big of an area that is, but since you're building your office below that area you might be able to get an HVAC guy to see about pumping some humidity through the system in that area. This becomes worse in the winter as the heat is run more and dries out the air, creating more static electricity.
