Why You NEED A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment ESA
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT steps when it comes to investing in commercial real estate, and should always be budgeted for in your due diligence period. How do we know? Because we didn't do one, went into a panic spiral, and got pretty lucky.
This is the second video in our series about developing a pre-ww2 commercial building, and before we get to jump on the tools, all of our permits and funding needs to be in order. The building was a cash transaction, meaning there were no bankers reminding us just how important a Phase 1 study is, and why you should never buy a building without one.
This video talks about our experience with getting our Phase 1 ...

Ever wonder what it takes to bring a neglected commercial or mixed-use building back to life? Despite what people say, developing real estate is NOT easy. Developing an existing masonry shell is even harder! We're taking a 6,000sf Pre-WW2 building that we're invested in and turning it into a high efficiency mixed-use money maker.

      Every pex b leak I've fixed throughout my career has been copper crimp rings. They don't suffer from corrosion they oxide badly. Stainless steel in dry environments doesn't defect at all. Copper oxidises just from the moisture in our atmosphere. They all have their pros and cons but the stainless clamps and stainless collars seem to be the way to go for long term reliability.

Saved a ton of money but more importantly kept the house WARM!!! Sure people at first might complain how it looks but the blinds cover it pretty well and the sun is so low in the winter it's not a big deal - our state priorities comfort over fashion. I have an infrared detector - so I am always taking temps - why? Some people choose fashion first but then they are in denial about why they are sneezing, etc.

    So they make highly vapor permeable latex paints that exceed 50+ perms. Is there any reason why you think that wouldn't work if it's more permeable than the lime mortar and the old brick?

    • @GreenBuildingNetwork
      @GreenBuildingNetwork Месяц назад

      I’ve never seen a latex paint above 20 perms. IMO it’s a complicated solution to a simple problem. We have had a lot of success with Keim Mineral paints on old brick and lime mortar. Perm rating claims to be in the 70’s and protects against wind driven rain. What brands are you referring to, wouldn’t mind educating myself!

    Most commercial linseed oil products are degummed by using the alkali-process. It's quite chemical in nature and leaves you with a linseed oil that is not optimal for painting. But it certainly is "cleaned". The question is now how you purify the oil. I've been using horse feed linseed oil - it is mostly grown in eastern Europe, Poland etc. not THE best oil, but quite good - and then cleaning it by first letting it sit for a year, some stuff will then automatically "fall out" of the oil and settle on the bottom of the container. Then I wash it either with saltwater and sand or by using 90 proof alcohol. That will drag much of the gum, proteins out of the oil. Then I freeze the oil to get the wachs to fall out of the oil and settle on the bottom as well. The last step is letting the oil oxidize in the sun for 20 days in shallow aluminium containers used for barbecue. The oil will get VERY light (almost completely white, just with a hint of yellow tint) and dry much faster in the end. Of all the ways I've experimented with, the alcohol wash and sun curing seemed to produce the least yellowing oil by far. It's a time consuming process, but if you have the time and don't mind getting your hands a bit oily, it's kinda fun :)

      @@GreenBuildingNetwork The benefit of not being a contractor :D - That's also where I think most of the misconceptions towards "older materials" come from. Contractors are paid by the hour. The market is super competitive and the contractor who is the cheapest, gets the most work. So modern tech, that cuts down on the man hours won. Not because it was objectively better, more durable, etc. but it was faster to process and use. The future be damned. The future repairs be damned. The customers were clueless and followed the lead of the "Pros". And now even the home improvement dudes and gals, who COULD afford the time, use the chemical stuff, because it's the only stuff you can buy at the stores. The contractors are the ones really paying the immediate toll in the end. They have to use products that slowly make them sick. And the rest of us follow suit, once micro plastics and nano particles have polluted all of nature and our food sources. Sadly contractors are an industry by "dudes". And if you bring up "green stuff" and "nature", then you are a sissy. It weirdly enough takes some guts to be a concerned dude amongst all the "tough men" who think they can shrug off some chemicals - they can't.
