Wrong sir! But please like the video!

Hi!, He wants to fill it with slurry I assume to avoid a large wet spot it the yard due to the tank holding water. Or maybe he thinks a sink hole? I think because of age you would have to drill holes in the sides to let the water escape because it's so old, I would speculate it is cracked anyway. I would first suggest don't get in there to investigate, it could collapse. Also put something up to keep anyone from falling in. We always use 3/4 gravel. You could have it dumped outside the gate and hand fill. If there is a construction site close, you could ask them for any leftover broken concrete block and bricks and fill it over time. I have also seen them filled with junk dirt ( clay mixed with rock, dirt you would remove so you could place topsoil down) In short fill it with anything non organic topped off with topsoil. As it naturally compacts over time just add a little more topsoil. Please update and let me know how it works out. Have a great day!

Sounds like it. I put the camera away from everyone so I would just hear nature. The echoes came up the ravine unexpected. The sound I can't explain is the rushing sound when it went dark. There was no wind.

Yes it does. What amazes me, is I have a construction attorney in my pocket. I also work as an expert witness in court cases. 9 out of 10 clients are embarrassed and will not pursue them legally to get their money back

Yeah, 30k is not worth going to court over. Esspecially when majority of that 30k wont even be returned.

@@MHeat. I disagree. He presented himself as a contractor, which he is not. That alone can grant the client in trial 3x the bill.

@@Frank_the_contractor "Can Grant" Lots of details play a role in that. 3x the times the sale is not set in stone lol.

We have back filled them with spoils from the job site. You just need to keep Organics out

Well I'm glad you're okay add your puppy!

100%

You have to go beyond that. I have personally seen documents that were counterfeit. You have to check with your local government, ask to talk to previous clients and personally see some of their past work. Due diligence is an absolute

Turns out it was a vestibular issue. We put him down last Friday due to that, his age and arthritis

I hear you loud and clear! They're getting a lot better. They removed that old ugly track on the bottom and as long as we pitched the curb they seem to be working fairly well. Of course check back in 5 years from now and let's see how it does

Thank you! I think a lot of times, people just get tired of waiting. They are over it, and they just want to move in.

@@Frank_the_contractor It appears that it's not only car sales people who use the technique of "wear the customer down until they say yes."

I have had meetings with the city, I believe that tile work should be inspected. Like doctors, contractors come with a reasonable expectations of trust. Unfortunately, this is quite common with limited recourse.

It actually had new Plumbing, and a tub. The only thing this guy did was tear up the tub, build a shower pan and install the wall tile. He charged 30k

@@Frank_the_contractor He charged $30k ? Really ? Wow, nooooo way !

@@manofweed1 for what work he did for 30k, I could retire in short order for that paycheck.

​@@Frank_the_contractor remove a tub and build a shower is 30k? What part of the country is this lol? Also have you ever used prova board? We love it

@@MrBigHoss this is Nashville Tennessee. No, we use a combination of old technology and new technology building a four layered redundant system . We guarantee the showers for Life providing the house does not move.

I'm sorry, Jack had the day off.😂 I did start at the bottom of the stairs. Thank you for your input, noted. Clearly I'm a novice at making videos, otherwise I would be mic'd up and someone else would have a hold of the camera.

I saw that as well when I looked at the video when I posted it. It's an optical illusion, the doors are staggered correctly for spray.

This is where I'm struggling. I can't add pictures to the end of this particular video or add to it since it's already published.

The powers-that-be are way too gentle on illegal contractors. I take over probably six of these a year. I am licensed and bonded, which means if I make a really bad mistake and and won't come out and repair it, she can call the city and they will pay her out of my bond, and I can't pull permits until I replace the money in the bond. An illegal contractor, nothing

Disagree. I've used Redguard on many intalls. Never failed.

Redgard adheres so well, that providing the house doesn't move, we warranty for life.

do you really think Home Depot would be carrying a product that has a high risk of failure for decades if it didn't work? Human error =/= product failure.

😅 you should see the dog now. Fat and happy

I put hurricane clips at all points. I have personal experience seeing those work from a tornado. As far as the flex, noted, but this is industry standard here and will stay. Using the foam and the system you see, one of my rental properties (1100 square feet) had a 326 dollar electric bill while this house (6000 under ac) had a electric bill of 350 dollars.

@@Frank_the_contractor $350 Per month or per year? I suspect per month. Mine is about $150/mo, 6600 sq ft of conditioned space. 2x6 24" OC with Roxul, & 2" exterior Rigid foam, SIP Roof. AC system consists of two ducted mini-splits (one for each floor). For Duct work I use Kool-Duct & PVC & some metal ductwork. I don't like spray foam since either its a sponge (open cell) or rock hard (closed cell). The close cell is a nightmare if you ever need to do maintenance epair. and the open cell is a mold nightmare. With the Roxul you can just pull it out of the area needing repair, It does not hold water and does not outgas toxic fumes in a fire like sprayfoam does.

What zone are you in? Thanks for your input, I will definitely research the Installation System you're speaking of.

@@Frank_the_contractor Zone 7.

Rockwool! We use rockwool for sound insulation.

Floor was level. Just a bad job

All of that tile was poorly set. The grout wasn’t done right either, looks like they let it sit too long on the curb at least, and or didn’t wipe it but one time.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Unfortunately, you're not alone in this. We see it all the time.

Ha ha ha, you let someone work on a project for 6 months. That's your fault that you didn't fire him in 1 week

@@IliadDreyfus-js9oe Unfortunately Missouri has a "Right to Cure" law before I can fire a contractor that has taken a lien out on my house. Would be nice if I lived in a world without laws overwhelmingly protecting businesses instead of consumers.

Yes! That stopped the moment I finished. 😂

No, sadly they paid full price.

We did reuse the door, is this unit did not come with the waterguard. We sloped the marble and kept are gaps at a minimum and it works fine.

Yes, and the water front.

This is a ranch house so of course the floors aren't perfect because of its age. We use certain tools to help us get the tile set perfectly flat.

@Frank_the_contractor sorry for the misunderstanding sir, I was referring to when you said no red guard was applied by the previous builder.

@johnluna7689 no misunderstanding sir. I assumed that's exactly what you meant. I'm going to have to start doing more of these, I fixed probably 10 bad contractor jobs a year. I'm going to go to this client's home and do an after video so everyone can see what it's supposed to look like when it's done correctly.

Red guard wasn't always used when I started 20years ago . No red guard, but I agree it's better with red guard but Not a make or break deal. He could have red guarded tje lower half . The half the really matters,and would have been fine

I remember when Red Guard came out. I've tried to have the attitude of my whole career not to dismiss new technologies. If something new comes out, we at least go visit, have a look at it as a team, and decide whether or not we will implement it. Obviously Redguard was one of those things we decided to implement. LOL
