    I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with us. I had to turn into and owner Builder due to a faulty contractor. So the information and prices that you're talking about seeing much more realistic than a contractor hiring Subs to do all the work, when an owner Builder can do the same thing. And save much more money

    In OC, the way you had the water line right next to the sewer line, would not pass inspection. Just saying what the inspector told us, cause we building an adu too. Wny use copper in the ground, it will leak in a couple years.

    Fyi, you can share a water heater with the main house and ADU. However the ADU will need two shutoffs. One for the cold and one for hot. I built an ADU in Vallejo, Ca using this method. Btw, love your videos. You motivated me and saved me a lot of money with ADU construction.

    Hey Hektor, I really appreciate and enjoy your videos I wanted to mention I am a small general contractor in Lancaster and I'm currently building a detached ADU. I had to meet LA County plumbing code which requires a separation between waste, supply and gas so I'm surprised the city didn't require that. Maybe its different where your at, but it may be a differentiating cost factor depending on your location. Either way great video I always recommend your videos to my prospective ADU customers. Happy Holidays!

    You mentioned a separate sewer line for garage conversions. Do you know if this is the case for an attached or detached ADU? I'd imagine you could tap into the main homes sewer line if it's attached, because at that point it's similar to an addition.
