You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).
Most people don't realize that lots of things around them are designed not just to stand, but also to break away in an engineered manner to avoid greater damage in adverse conditions. Crumple zones on cars are a good example. Also, most metal posts along roadways that hold lights and signs are designed to break away when hit by a vehicle rather than deform and impale the vehicle (and the gooey meatbags inside).
Impact absorption
Most people dont have common sense?
Agreed. In the Fl Keys, the flood wall designs are intense... lots of interesting details in floodzones.
You’re correct in so many ways rod roddington.
@@rodroddington4991 - 'common' sense is anything but...
A: a prop for the Kool-Aid man.
Oh yeah!!!
I literally got an add for koolaid on this video
Bahaahahaha! We joke about that goofy shit still!
@@carsongoodman5581 Fun with A."I".
your content just keeps getting better, Matt. It reminds me of watching "This Old House" years ago.
I once worked in an Office Building with Breakaway Walls for Fire Exits.
On an Annual Inspection I had the Cover Plates removed, (first time it had ever been done in the Ten Years since the Building was completed and handed over) and discovered that the Glass Bolts which held the Breakaway Sections in place were actually Steel Bolts.
Investigation later revealed that during construction the Glass Bolts had been broken and Steel Bolted substituted until new Glass Bolts could be purchased.
Whether new Glass Bolts were ever purchased or not isn't known, but certainly the temporary Steel Bolts were never removed.
A permanent solution is just a temporary solution that never gets replaced.
Scary stuff. Thankfully it was discovered in an inspection and not an emergency.
Let me tell you about a break away wall..... I worked @ Micron in Manassas Virginia (they make computer chips) and the chemicals in the building are SO volatile and explosive that the entire wall of a 2 story building is on huge hinge pins at the base of the wall (in case of explosion) so the building doesn't disintegrate and the entire wall blows out and lays down in the grass and the energy of the explosion is transferred saving lives and equipment inside the facility.... I still wouldn't want to be anywhere near the place if it did blow but wow what a dangerous place to work..... Pipes are inside of pipes in case the inner pipe leaks the outer pipe contains the liquid or gas from escaping..... Scary scary place to be...
Was raised in Manassas. Never knew this information. Thanks for sharing.
Florida Keys code has "breakaways" made of unreinforced block between 24" columns with a 1" thick, 8" wide strip of styro between the block and column. When the wave breaks through the wall, block crumbles and sinks, wood floats away to become a problem for your neighbor.
Yeah, I think masonry would be a better solution
12’ flood plain…that’s cute.
1:56, not only is this an amazing video but that solar flare to the camera from the sun is super amazing
Heading to Wade's site right now... I'm a homeowner just starting to consider a redesign of a home in Virginia Beach. So much of what Matt has taught me make its hard for me to imagine meeting NFIP requirements, have a 1st floor, and a low blower door test
Speak with the VA beach planning department certified floodplain manager. Typically they will be happy to discuss this stuff with you and provide help where needed to ensure you are following the NFIP regulations. Homeowners in the jurisdiction receive levels of discounts on their federal insurance based on whether the area is able to meet various levels of requirements and regulation of building. So it serves in everyone’s interest to work with them where possible.
Interesting video, never knew about the break-away walls.
It irks me a bit that people build in a flood zone and when they inevitably get flooded they want government to bail them out. Building in flood zones should be at your own risk.
And or insurance rates rise for everyone because they want to build there.
Its usually always the financially well off who build in places like this, and they expect to get bailed out each time the house gets damaged or destroyed.
Not necessarily, some of the cheapest property is in flood zones. So inevitably it's a buyer beware and people who don't have alot of cash might build on there own dime unknowingly.
Uh... it's not that simple. ANYONE in a flood zone with a mortgage MUST have insurance. ANYONE who has EVER claimed a flood in that zone pays a heavy/hefty (4 times more than you) insurance premium going forward.
It's the power infrastructure/loss, businesses, and the state governments that request all the money... sure some people especially those several miles from the shore don't have flood or storm insurance -never in a million years expected this, but that's not causing billions of dollars in Fed relief efforts. Local/State governments don't want to pay for this. These idiot leaders have financial advisors and don't know howto balance their own checkbook.
@@judefuselier Something tells me this house isn't on cheap property. You'll never find a reasonably priced family home with "break away walls". It cost MORE money to build in a flood zone...not less. People do it so they can arrogantly brag that their house is only a few minutes from falling into the ocean...
Hmm, it is a bit of a puzzle how Planning departments allow development on flood plains.
In some instances I gather there's a danger of not allowing a flood plain to drain properly once it's done it's job.
I suppose one way to stop it would be for insurers to decline any sort of cover, or mortgage companies to not lend on properties on flood plains, or local authorities not maintain roads on a flood plain and for a government to state it was no longer govt policy to bail out owners who insist living on a flood plain, putting both themselves and their "wealth" at risk.
Will this happen? Who could say?
I 'm learnign something new EVERY SHOW !!!
Thanks for
SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE !
Remodeling the house and seeing it guts makes me believe that I live in break away house now. :)
I live on long island and have built a few of these. We call them wash out walls but same thing. Great explanation.
Having watched the video, listened to the tech stuff, read some of the comments then have concluded the only safe to way to build is in the middle of a desert area, on bedrock and get a bit of weight into a build by using stone blocks ... they say those pyramids have been up for five and a half thousand years ...
not bad.
This is the best video I have seen on break away walls. We may need to do this. Now it makes sense. Thanks so much guys!
Excellent Mike. Very welcome
I think "wind" or "wind driven salt air" to be more precise is absolutely spot on. My first thought as "not a builder" as an answer to this is a proper moisture barrier (Tyvek?) and then proper sealants and adhesives (taping?) long before getting into proper fasteners.
You guys are the experts but beyond seeing Anderson Windows which are always an excellent choice in any build I'd actually like to see mo' product placement.
Enjoy your stuff, also admitting your limitations will support your strength. Keep up the good work.
Great Video. Don't assume that epoxy coated rebar is immune from corrosion in that location. Protect the concrete with its rebar from the rain and salt spray and the rebar will not corrode (or corrode very slowly). Rebar made from fiber glass would be immune but most building codes don't recognize it.
Matt, I finish every episode with you by saying “ooooonnn the build show!!!” Love it!
“ooooonnn the Build show!!!” is cheesy as heck, but he's got the best intro/outro music of any show on UA-cam.
This build has such a plethora of modern technologies it's mind blowing...
Nice house absolutely beautiful I love the engineering I'm not totally sold on the epoxy coated rebar though
If the flood plain is above your head, its probably best to find another lot :D or build the house on stilts.
This house is on stilts, really fancy stilts.
Wade! I see you have the motions during the Build Show sign off . So glad you don't have the audio yet. :)
Super informative. Great content as always, thanks for sharing!
Can you show how and what needs to be done when plywooding the break away walls and outside corners and inside corners
I've been building break-away walls for years and didn't even know it.
Nicely Done Welcome To The East Coast Matt
Total pro job
Like to see builds in earthquake and tornado prone areas as well. Mother Nature often trumps man when she makes up her mind to do so.
Epoxy coated rebar is known to degrade in concretely faster then normal rebar. just something to look into.
Ever since I went to Hatteras Island, I have been curious about these coastal homes. They all seem to use the same materials and I wondered why.
just when you think you know alot about building homes then you run into this guy
Fascinating. A modern-day Noah.
In coastal BUILDs Fasteners and piers are king.
Gosh that must cost so much to build.
Love the show.
Learned a lot. Thx
I would have LOVED to meet up with you. Wish I knew you were in town!!!
Evidently a very “spare no expense” customer! 💰💵💸
Just the insurance costs alone! 😲😱😵
I don't ever feel sorry for people who loose their homes there. Those homes you are guaranteed will be destroyed in 10 years with tax payers on the hook. Stupid as hell to build in a flood zone like that, considering all is destroyed or close to it every few years. If you live in those areas no government money should come to their aid.
Not necessarily. Hurricane Michael made landfall on Mexico Beach, FL as a Category 5. Most of the homes were from the 60s-70s and completely leveled, but most newer homes survived. Just search UA-cam for video of how flattened the community was after Michael and notice how a lot of newer homes survived.
Edit: I do agree with lack of sympathy when these homes get destroyed.
This house looks like it can survive a storm, but in a few decades it will be boat access only.
@@afh7689 It means those dumbasses need to move inland and stop crying for fema and the government to bail them out..see it happen at least once a decade and this old house shows up and makes a season out there rebuilding them. Seen this crap since the 70s on.
Only a dumbass builds a home out there, if a person wants to then have at it. Yet they don't deserve any assistance when they get wiped out. It is as retarded as parking your car in the middle of a road instead of a parking lot and being surprised when it gets hit
I wouldn’t live there. No thanks. I need to be at least 40 feet above sea level. Then maybe we can talk. Otherwise nope.
Never underestimate the power of water.
@@mattv5281 The most grim projections, which are wrong by the way, say sea level is rising 1 foot per century. So no, it won't be boat access in a few decades. Nor within a few decades of the lifetimes of anyone you'll ever meet.
I am curious about the electrical and plumbing in a breakaway wall. Are the pipes and wires designed to breakaway at the top plate?? It looked like I saw plumbing attached to the pillars to feed the house. Also saw plumbing stubs and wire coils hanging down. Are there specifically designed connectors that shut off the supply and protect the system or does it just fail and pull through the wall as it "floats away?" I am very surprised that he can use NM (Romex) wire. NEC does not object to NM but I would have thought in Rhode Island the unions of yore and insurance companies would have required EMT or ridged.
Very interesting.
If I got the land I wanted years ago I wouldn't have to worry about the breakaway as it was 20-30ft up off the water.
Matt! I think I sat behind you and talked to you briefly the other day at Rudy's! (?) Not sure.... but once I left, I thought, "I think that's the builder guy I've followed on UA-cam for years!" I'm going to ask, next time I see 'that guy.' :)
It's not even a storm and it's already border line flooded XD
This kind of thing seems less like a just-in-case and more of a these-will-definitely-eventually-be-knocked-down-by-a-surge based on the presentation. In that situation everything that is stored in the basement, that likely wouldn't have been if walls hadn't been put around the base, is destroyed, which would likely include expensive vehicles in that garage, not to mention the value of anything that someone who could afford that house would stuff into their basement... It makes it seem like a way to convince someone to spend more on a structure that is assumed will get severely damaged in a location it probably shouldn't have been built...
Engineering is great, but damn does it help people do some stupid, wasteful, shit.
In such a moisture rich environment and possibility of flood water touching the bottom of the 2nd floor, are LVL’s still better than traditional 2 x 10/12’s that could hold up better under worst case conditions?
just what i was thinking, even if the house survives a storm surge, all that glued togeather stuff is gonna crumble if its wet for long
I do plan to raise my house. I am looking for contractors with this expertise. I live in CT. I have a question. If we are in a VE zone, can we have a garage door that is a breakaway coded garage door? In my mind, I want to give the first floor the look of a boathouse but I'm hoping it might also serve as a garage area.
Is there no way to use waterproof and mold proof construction materials below the flood line? Like all concrete and tile?
Love This Channel ... keep it up!
Just Like the old Uthlandfriesisches Haus. Nice
The piers look good. What about the porch though? Looked like a 4x4 post holding it up.
0:05 Did anyone think it was YouBetcha! at first?
That's a interesting flood resistant house for the coast or Houston.
Why no fiberglass rebar vs epoxy coated? Your opinions with beach builds? Seems fiberglass rebar is better suited..
Money....and performance in some areas......bending moments would be my guess as that structure probably has a high bending moment design and money.
From my understanding fiberglass rebar is half the price of steel. Yeah, there is probably something to the way the building is designed to ‘give’ I just haven’t read a clear answer. Matt, I’d love for you to do a ice rink building analysis, that takes thermal management and complexity of insulation to the next level, would be great to learn..
@@jonathana8058 You can go look at prices online, no need to guess. Its about 3.50 a stick for steel rebar and 5 bucks for fiberglass. You can also view Tyler leys channel for in-depth explanations on rebar.
Shawn Cockrell okay thank you, didn’t know, was going off basic information without looking in depth. Thank you.. still curious about those ice rink builds though.. that really does take thermal management to another level
Sorry to highjack your video Matt... Hey Wade, do you build in southeast Connecticut? I am working with an electrician over here right now, until I can get my security clearance back and go back to EB.
With that said, the 2 builders I’ve worked with with this electrician. Only 1 I would want to use as a builder. But still after watching many of Matt’s videos, I am reluctant to use him as well. He uses ZIP, but doesn’t cover the nails nor does he tape the upper and lower seams. Just the seams around windows and doors. Albeit it was his only house I worked at.
And I will be a couple years away for me building though. I just like to get a good builder who I can trust and such.
Thank you
Oh and Matt, if you and your family are up here again. Let me know ahead and I’ll take you on a tour of the USS Nautilis in Groton, CT. The first nuclear powered submarine.
Which boat were you on?
Sam My first boat was the South Dakota for a couple months. Then I finished building the Vermont and went to her Christening.
Didn’t expect that kinda answer huh? I never was in the military, however I was proud that I helped build a couple of submarines. That’s “my service”. I wouldn’t been able to pass the medical to get in any branch anyways. I am 2 weeks away from starting the process of getting my clearance back. So hopefully I’ll be back there soon.
No shade thrown. I spent 2 years in dry dock at EB. I’m sure the hill and mile walk from the parking lot are the main reasons I stayed in decent shape, haha.
Were you able to ride the SD or Vermont on sea trials?
Sam OH! The hills, I have forgotten about the hills.
And if you didn’t arrive early for first shift, my shift, you’ll be parking in G lot. Or whatever that is that’s a mile away from the gates. My shop doors are right in front of the 260. So G lot was a hike. Though I tried to park in the B lot (I think that’s the name). On the corner of Allen and Smith.
I have only one constructive criticism about this house. And the criticism is that there are too many corners to it. As a person that lives on the coast (Adriatic), I know from experience that moisture and mold is going to stick inside the less ventilated corners. Ok not in the few years, but in the long run there will be issues. I don’t think that it’s worth it. But that’s me.
13:03
Matt’s skinny jeans kicked in!
@ 1.35 Great job at setting the post on peirs, your hanging off to one side, quick pan the camera away....
No Hardie shake panels? I know they won't weather like cedar but probably last longer.
Crazy, building in a ocean 'flood zone' but I guess if the area/land is valuable then people are going to want it. Folks want to live near the coast; then they have to make provision for the weather. The extra cost must be horrendous. But the weather/climate/earth bats last!
@ 1:35 why are those posts set offset on the piers?
Good catch...
In Florida you have to use impact resistant windows in your break away walls...makes perfect sense.
One is for water and the other is to resist penetrations by flying debris which allows the wind inside the home this pressurizing it crating lift on the roof. Hence hurricane ties hold joists/trusses to the top plate
If I had the $$ to even _think_ about building a house on any coastline the first floor would be ICF with DEEP foundation piers. The upper/living areas I'd want to use SIPS or even ICF up to the eaves of the roof.
if you cast your entire first floor in an inundation zone in solid concrete, it might withstand wave force. or it might tip over. "the reed that bends doesn't break" is the lesson to be learned.
@@kenbrown2808 That's why I was thinking the deep piers. I'd also build, if local codes would allow it, so that a CORNER of the house is pointed towards the water. Eh, even if we hit the lottery, the wife would kill me if I even suggested it.
@@michiganengineer8621 you're going to be measuring the impact of the water in foot tons, not foot pounds.
My entire house is built to break-away standards. The only problem is that it's not supposed to be.
Reinforce it with duct tape. It will last forever
FWIW, I submitted a Quora question about whether compliance with updated building codes was successful at significantly reducing damage from hurricanes and when nobody answered it I did some investigation and wrote an answer. Basically the answer was that building compliant with the new building codes are much better at surviving hurricanes.
The question and answer are here: www.quora.com/What-effect-did-the-strengthened-building-codes-and-building-code-enforcement-introduced-after-Hurricane-Andrew-have-on-the-damage-done-by-the-hurricanes-that-struck-Florida-in-2017
Clearly money is not an issue on this build!
If you're looking for builds that normal people can afford, you're watching the wrong channel.
Matt, the arrows on the video-announcement-picture are the opposite to the explanation. The wall suppose to break away from the bottom and hence (and break) from the top down.
Oops 😬
Why couldn't you put actual piano-style hinges on the tops of the breakaway walls so they could be retained?
I guess when the flood water go back out those would close and hold the water back instead, right? Like happened down in Ocracoke last year
@@timgleason2527 Wouldn't the flood drains at the base of the structure help with this?
it's much more expensive to replace piano hinges than it is to replace nails.
@@aheadatime Probably afterward, but like what if it was really rushing water like storm surge? Probably would overwhelm everything.
great content!
Do you cover the concrete homes in any videos? (ICF)
Hi Matt, I’m a new subscriber enjoying your channel. With shingle sided homes I see a lot of them faded and water stained after a few years. I heard of a lady who soaked her shingles during new construction in a stain with blue dye for a permanent color? Ever heard of that or was it normal?
What insulation will the house get on the underside before the zip-R?
How do the breakaway walls get wired?
They don’t.
I could see the use watertight hotel plugs surface mounted on each breakaway segment and ox-gard injected into each socket and termination cavity. Alternatively, a female socket is mounted flush above the breakaway inside the wall cavity and reinforced similar to a door handle sleeving. The ground post needs to face inward as the last to lose mating and the reinforcement bonded.
Any kind of sliding connection that seals watertight and ensures the bonding is the last to disconnect.
@@gary.richardson it's not allowed to have wiring below the flood line. at least not where I am.
Your in my home state!!!
I have never seen anything like that. And I often visit Oregon beaches. Are there stairs or a ladder to the second floor?
that wouldn't survive on an Oregon beach. Oregon's nice weather waves have about as much force as the east coast's storm waves. storm waves would hit the second floor of that house.
@@kenbrown2808 Agreed. East coast beaches seem positively dangerous for how easily waves can overcome the shore. And they build houses *way* too close to water
@@wallykramer7566 that's because the atlantic ocean just sits there and doesn't do anything unless there's a major storm.
Cool house, but this is why all our insurance rates go up so much. Building in places like flood zones or where know natural disasters occur annually, and homes get major damaged almost every year.
Maybe I don't fully understand, buy why not have a deeper footer and full height reinforced concrete walls? With all the grade beams, piers, and treated 2x12 walls, that is a lot of money for it to just be flooded anyway. Can someone explain that better understands the intention of this system?
Gotta love fema or national flood insurance. The huge subsidies in insursnce premiums have allowed houses like this to exist on the coast.
Exactly, was thinking they'd have to consider sea rise and climate change 👏🏽
Q: But do they?
A: Clearly they do not.
Yes, we were warned about this throughout the 90’s on a near daily basis on nightly news (thanks Al Gore) and told that our coastal cities would be inundated under water in 20 yrs. DID IT HAPPEN? Have the cities been relocated, raised or did I miss something. After all, it was SETTLED SCIENCE then. It’s a NEW RELIGION now.
@@awesomexistence Hmm, you have a point ... however "they" might be a bit out on the time forecasting thing.
Melting of the ice caps prediction stuff is not your everyday occurrence so said prediction part of the science might need just a bit of refining.
That said the recent inundations of New Orleans, for example, might be a sign of things to come???
Put it this way, you folks over there will be the first to know.
Personally I wouldn't be so eager to diss the predictions just yet.
@@t1n4444, hmmm, climate change? 1800- current, hurricanes were numerous and particularly bad thru many seasons of the 1800’s
www.stormfax.com/huryear.htm
@@awesomexistence Beware well intentioned nonsense from so called climate pundits. And just listen to myself 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
History, if you will, tells us of many changes to global clmate, ice ages, seas rising and falling yada, yada, yada and all that without human supervision.
It's my view that humans have affected the "natural" climate changes simply by existing and doing what humans do.
You might say climate change has been accelerated to point where we notice it.
Given the age of the planet this current heating part of the cycle is happening in the "blink of an eye" so to speak.
I would suggest that human activity has merely modified the way "climate" works. And that the climate has never been "stable" anyway.
It's all a bit moot really as I gather '"science" predicts the ultimate global warming will be caused by the Sun in 4 billion years or so.
As these things work the Sun will expand its photosphere, or something, to well past the Earth's orbit.
So if we think it's hot today ...
That’s kinda scary to think that water levels and strength get so high that it pushes the break away walls, wouldn’t want to be down there if that ever happened. 😕
What's the reasoning behind using epoxy coated rebar?
Concrete won’t bond to rust.
@@sam4976 the problem with the epoxy coating is any penetration in it, which is basically unavoidable, leads to rapidly accelerated corrosion in the effected area.
0:08 "a year or two less than me" - subtle jab
Definitely not a jab. I’m 4 years older than Wade but he’s a very accomplished Builder! Proud to be his friend
I wish insurance agency's would stop insuring structures in flood zones like these... cause its not if it floods its when
Yep, we all end up paying for these claims. Government also helps subsidize people living in areas where Mother Nature clearly doesn’t want permanent residences.
I build houses on lakes and they have to be above the flood line to be insured
That’s why they’re building up above what FEMA has designated as the 100 year flood plane. If we quit building anywhere that ever flooded, the population density of the world would skyrocket absurdly. The costs of almost anything would do the same as would fossil fuel consumption, and by proxy, climate change. Simply put, we need flood prone areas to support commerce, farming, etc. etc. etc.
@@jackammann2088 what do you mean 100 year flood plan they are 100 feet from the ocean all that has to happen is the wind to change direction and a decent storm roll in and id put money on them having 3-4 feet of water in their home which will probably result in 60-100k of damage.... if that entire lower level was going to be empty down there and un finished like it should be that would be great i wish someone knew the general area of the home so we could look up storm info for curiosity sake
Short version, fema gives estimations for the height of water in a 100 year flood event. Meaning the highest they see water reaching in the next 100 years. The risk(and premiums) are determined by calculating the likelihood of areas flooding. So they’ve raised the finished floor of the house to above that level(that blue tape line). So what’s below that tape line will be made with water resistant materials, like tile floors, to reduce damages, and the home owner will be paying some pretty astronomical prices to insure the bottom floor. And that’s if FEMA will even let them insure the bottom floor, most likely they won’t, it will be on the home owner. This idea that these people are paying some pittance for flood insurance while building right on the coast, isn’t reflected by reality at all.
Beyond that, lenders must now accept private flood insurance if it is comparable to NFIP policies. This means more and more flood insurance risk is falling on private insurance. In addition, they’re raising premiums almost everywhere to make the NFIP self sufficient. I believe the cap is 15% increase per year and these increases will continue until the program is self funding.
Their is issues with epoxy coated rebar, he should have used galvanized or stainless steel rebar. I see theose epoxy coated rebar failing all the time especially in a salt environment.
@MegaSkilla ?
I like it. Now how does one find an architect worth his money?
Wouldn’t consider building in a flood zone!!!! But some people don’t use common sense and are ok 👌🏼 with shelling out ridiculous premiums for the flood insurance.... I’m sure the house will be impeccable when finished....
Build houses on rock, build boats on sand. This is going to be a superior goat habitat in twenty years.
I have seen plenty of broken away walls on beach property ..wasn't designed to break tho.. 😀
I want to build a house with a moat around it. How do I use today's building technology to make this dream come true?
It’s essentially a wraparound pool. Shouldn’t be that hard.
Simplest solution: buy property with a large pond, or dig a pond, 1/2 acre will do. Build a pier into the pond before filling it with water. And lastly, buy a houseboat and drop it in your pond. All done.
@@4philipp or buy a few rolls of pond liner and a shovel
X7Maverick that works too.
Every going to make it around Ohio Matt?
That's why all of our house insurances cost so much because wealthy people build in flood zones and then we get to pay for it.
Break away walls under OSB joists. All right..
The law of attraction says like attracts like.
The interior wall is not a breakaway wall. How is that accounted for in the event of a flood?
I bet the paid housekeepers will spend more time in that house than the homeowners.
Darn that looks like a $2 million job
ONLY 2 million?! Ha, that's cute.
Sorry, it won't stop sea level rise. Good luck over the next 20 years
And you know what the kicker is, these people probably buy into the green new deal hook, line & sinker.
Hey Matt why did you delete the video about the worst built house. I was wanting to show a friend and realized it’s gone
