    I own a mechanic shop and build alot of show cars, diesel trucks, rock crawlers. People come in with thier brand new supercharged ZL1 Camaros with nitrous and start talking about thier set up, and all I hear is blah blah blah. But i go to someone's house and notice its built out of ICF, or they have a solar system, or notice a passive design, or thier wall is 14 inches thick. I start asking them questions and get really interested and excited. I have up cars and guns and dirt bikes and motorcycles to start saving for my house build, it's the only thing that grabs my attention these days, passive house assemblies are more exciting then anything under the hood of a mustang any day.

So for half the price I pay in house payment and Yahoo rent I can build to high quality standards, have alot better house, more shop space, heated floors, new lifts, overhead crane, save my self an hour of drive time everyday, and save hundreds a month in the winter on utilities. There is literally no downsides, besides the fact that it's hard as ahit to get financed for a decent house, they dont care if you'll save money, they only care what you're making currently.

      Could use that analogy as a sign of a poorly built house. Everyone runs to see the beautiful vintage Ferrari with gloss paint like a mirror.

Houses that are close to the simplicity to build that we have now but use simple but effective methods to minimise heat transfer, increase insulation etc etc. At the moment it’s an all or nothing attitude.

      Like in IN there is very little electrical that yoy can do without a permit. But, to get a permit you just have to pass a test that's available to everyone regardless of education. So I can extend and maintain existing circuits but cannot add new ones and it can be tricky when structural stuff is involved (like no drilling through joists without a permit of a different type, to move fixtures around even though it's existing). But there's exceptions too, like you can get a change permitted retroactively by a licensed electrician; often, it's just having them inspect your work and sign off, but, if the cost is the same whether they do it or you as homeowner do it, then I'd just pay them. Idk about other states hut our code is available online. It's sometimes a bear to read but very helpful

    I’m a Canadian living in the US. I went through a trade program in Canada. I’m a huge proponent of it. I wish such a program existed in the US nation wide.
    The Canadian approach is applied to trades in multiple sectors - from cooks to carpenters. Students attend an approximately 15 months session in college. The curriculum is developed by the industry - certified trades people sit on the council. It’s reviewed regularly and updated accordingly.
    Then students work under a journey-person to accumulate 6000 hours (3 years) of work experience. They will typically go back to school for about a month for 3 times over the 3 years. A test is written after each session. A final test is then written at the end of the last session.
    Successful completion of the education, 6000 hours of work experience, 3 additional sessions in school and passing all test certified the trades-person. Then earn their red seal.
    Employers have a reasonable level of confidence in hiring journey-person from one of the country to the other.

    • @hosmerhomeboy
      @hosmerhomeboy 4 роки тому

      It is an extremely good system, i went through too. My only complaint is that the building departments and home warranty systems do not recognize it at all. Any idiot who pays a few grand and takes a couple online courses is the same in the eyes of the government as a 20 year journeyman with no warranty issues and who has trained apprentices. In fact, the carpenter also needs to pay the same money and take the same moneygrabbing courses. Also, since anyone can pick up a hammer and they often do, that is what the building departments seem to be geared towards. Even a building small enough to comfortably fit in part nine often requires engineering now, despite being simple standard practice for a seasoned carpenter.
      It makes me sad to see the ticket devalued and replaced with a host of tiny little certifications. The only places that value the ticket anymore are in heavy industry.

      The problem is no one wants to build things anymore... No one wants to get a sliver that could get infected. No one wants to have permanent grease stains on their hands like I do as a diesel mechanic. Everyone thinks "I want to get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to watch Netflix in an office".

The idea being that a pre app would be more attractive to employers by dint of having some extra schooling. Giant companies aside, no one wanted to hire them. Turns out that extra schooling has either little correlation to worksite skill, or negative correlation. Also, pre apps felt they should be hired ahead of laborers and paid more. The whole thing was a waste imo. Want a trades job? go apply, and be ready to work. Want an apprenticeship? get good enough they want to keep you so when you ask your odds are good.

      Double wall construction with dense pack cellulose adds very little to the overall costs...….material wise on my last design it was about 2k difference on a 2100 square foot house.
      Other methods can add considerably more, such as exterior foam, it can add as much as 20k to the same house depending on insulation levels….and on house that costs 30k in materials a extra 20k is a lot,......2k not soo much.
      Those costs can easily be negated thru wise finish choices such as flooring and appliance options....., simply going from 5 dollar a square foot flooring to 4 dollar a square foot can cover the costs …..that would be 2100 savings on a 2100 square foot house, covering the 2k extra for thermally broke double wall r-40 performance...……
      The first step to fixing the problem is recognizing there is a problem,...……..we are building some really poor houses here, not up to first world standards at all. Pigs in lipstick, energy pigs that is, while looking really nice, the performance is horrible......you can pay a house off no matter what the cost, you can never pay the gas or electric bill off, they keep coming month after month, year after year and only increase .

The problem came in when the TBPE was sunset and the TDLR had not picked it up yet. You could probably Google it.

    Lack of homebuyer education means too many people only value what they can see, such as granite countertops. If a homebuyer is pushing the budget, better to save the eye candy for later and spend what little they have on good bones. As a builder, how do you get your buyers thinking that way?

Walk into a home and there might be a clueless flak with a brochure with a sentence or two. That simply isn't enough to get people to look deeper/pay more.

      @@bassntruck I'm not sure why he said that but I think it's because having a non breathing exterior insulation leaves the very real possibility of moisture getting trapped between the wall and the insulation and causing massive rot/degradation of the sheathing and wall assembly. There was a ton of contractors making this huge mistake right after the 2012 code came in to play as they struggled to meet the assembly insulation requirements. R24 hadn't come out yet and doing the double wall wasn't practiced by anyone I saw. The better solution they should have employed in that sample was air barrier at the wall and then Roxul Comfortboard over that with a rainscreen and then the siding. I'd never ever use rigid on the outside like that, ever.
