I love that you showed your "mistakes". These videos have shown how many decisions are made every day and some of them are bound to not be perfect. These are the things we don't get to see as often on other channels. I also appreciate that while some of these things might have been fine, people that really care, like you guys, will go the extra mile just in case. I realize they're not necessarily optional fixes but being good sports certainly is.

Doing a job properly, with craftsmanship and with attention to detail - any job in life - requires a commitment. The difference between a good job and one that is a constant source of problems is the difference between a craftsman's pride and just not giving a dam.

I insulated our house build in Lubbock, TX a decade ago. Thankfully it was done in November and December (right after Thanksgiving) so it was cold. Tyvek suit that sh!t up baby! I had duct taped gloves, around my boots, up the zipper, around my neck for a good seal, etc. STILL ended up with a razor shaving the underside of my forearms to pull the fibers out. So incredibly annoying. Still, WAY better than just a T shirt. :) You guys are awesome and I have learned a LOT from you. Keep at it guys! This is THC quality content, but actually good content, lol!

I am a building inspector in Indianapolis. I'm not sure how your city/county handles this but the fire foam is not an approved fire blocking. If you look on the can it says it meets the UL listings and the ASTM for fire blocking but there is an asterisk that says that it used a modified test. Which is the reason it is not allowed. You can take a piece of dried fire foam and easily light it. I have wrote this violation many times. I always say that it sucks that they market it this way so you think it would work, and for the big gaps it's way easier to fill. I always let the contractor know for the big gaps they can use un-faced mineral wool insulation/rockwool and that is approved. Was really looking forward to seeing the inspection but I understand why it wasn't possible. Really wish I could inspect your guys projects because you know what you are talking about and I deal with contractors on a day to day basis that don't have a clue about anything.

If water ever gets under that metal roof, the horizontal furring strips will trap it. It’s better to use vertical furring strips on top of each rafter, and add horizontal furring strips on top. This will also improve ventilation.
@timothydillon6421
4 жыл бұрын
This falls right in line with the statements that a house needs to breathe. Using real wood that can get wet and dry and using the ribbed panels that allow the drying to happen and proper flashing to control bulk water it will be just fine. Or you just install the furring strips at an angle that matches your truss to screw line. Eg truss at 24 and rib at 9 install the furing strips at 4 1/2 12 to the eve end.

Timothy Dillon - yes, it’s probably fine. I live in a quite wet area (Bergen, Norway). We’ve made some effort during the last 100 years trying to keep our houses dry even when the outermost layer of roofing fails. The current best practice is to ventilate between the insulation and the sheathing, use a waterproof ashphalt underlayment on top of the sheathing, vertical furring strips, then horizontal furring strips for cross-ventilation and finally glazed clay roof tiles. That gives you a roof that will last between 50 and 100 years without maintenance, unless something breaks a tile.

The company i work for we got basically screwed by some floor guys they basically just stopped contacting us to do this customers house. So we decided to sand the floor are selves my bosses having a little experience in it we went for it. Well lets just say it didn't go well especially around the edges and we didn't realize till we stained one room. So we had to re sand it and go around all the edges and sand them perfect. It was a huge pain I was sore as hell but at the end of the day it looked way better and the customer was happy. Which made all of it worth it yes in trades you have hard days. But seeing the customer happy makes it all worth it to me.

A while ago they had a job where they had to remove a completely dead tree from a homeowner's property. The tree was between the house and the garage and both building had metal roofs. While they were cutting parts of the tree off and removing them with a crane, a bunch of small pieces were landing on the roof of the house. The final day they were there it was raining and they had a pain trying to clear all the debris off the roof.

One of the best paybacks I get from doing so much of my own construction is the suffering and appreciation for a tradesman when I hire them to do a job I either can’t do, don’t want to do or that I decide just needs to be done faster or better than I can do. The whole time they are here I appreciate their effort because I know how crappy some of these jobs are to do and how hard it is to get them to look good. I will probably always be a “prosumer DIY” guy which I am okay with. I think it makes me appreciate the trades even more.

My professor tries to avoid using too much spray foam because she doesn’t believe it’s been around long enough to know if it has any long terms negative health affects or is causing any negative affects on air quality long term. So she only used it where it is absolutely necessary. We live in zone 5 so the I assume the R-value here it higher. She was also excited that she found these outlet boxes that had like these rubber flaps around them to actually seal the box and help stop air leaks. She only used them on the exterior walls. She works in the building industry and just finished her first leed certified house. Though she taking a step back and is going to focus more on her job as a professor.

I wish that more people were aware of Pro-Z screws for ribbed metal roof installations because the commonly used screws (the ones your roofers used) are the downfall of typical metal roof install. Pro-Z screws encapsulate the rubber gasket, supposedly cant be overtightened, come in all of the colors used by panel manufacturers and have a 50 year warranty. Who the hell wants to have to replace all of those screws every 10 to 15 years? That's insane and is enough to make people change their mind about choosing metal for their roof. Google Pro-Z screws and it's a game changer.

While I agree with the firecode and inspector, you had to put a bit of flammable material (wood) over a hole to stop a fire in the event of one happening! Just my oxymoron brain kicking in. To be honest if all you had to worry about are those 3 minor defects, it is a good inspection! We are not allowed plumbing in exterior walls due to Winter climate (Canada) and most times have to frame a mechanical chase and use pipe insulation to help with freezing.

Question though, wouldn't you want the roofing slats to go vertical or at an angle to if water somehow got in, it could escape? If water got through the seal of the screw it would just sit and rot the wood. Also no vapor barrier needed in this climate region?

Stop bulk water, and stop lots of free air movement into the home.

Current science realizes that you need to principally do two things; stop bulk water intrusion, because that's always a problem, and stopping free airflow, as that dumps far more moisture into a home than vapor does, as well as allowing for much more thermal loss than previously thought. Many ways to do this, as well as many insulation techniques to consider. Would love for you to describe the perfect system so I have a better idea of the point you keep alluding to.
