    These video's are mighty. Can you do follow up video's on rectification works? Where the timber frame overhangs the slab, the engineer recommends structural grout. On face value, the structural grout seems cosmetic, how does this improve support of the timber frame over the frames lifetime?

      It probably won't really effect it. The problem is if the rust continues the nail won't exist then the sub floor will come loose over time (the glue under it won't last forever) and you'll probably get a bit of squeaking in a few years. Maybe. Maybe not.

    I love the videos,the things I learn , and how annoyed I should be at my own building inspector who I paid to check a house before I bought it, half the stuff through your many videos he ignored and said, ‘yeah that’s fine”
    But before I get too depressed, I need to know, on average, or out of 10, how many homes pass/fail your inspections?
    It would be really important info to the industry as a whole, as to how wide s-read the problem is.

    • @chrispekel5709
      @chrispekel5709 Год назад +2

      Every single home is going to have something that it fails. No house in Australia is absolutely perfect. However, just because a house has a few things wrong with it doesn't make it a bad house - if the problems are widespread and go to structural issues you've got problems. I'm sure the house he looked at just then would be completely fine, but you don't want structural stuff screwed around with (the timber supporting the second story). Everything else he pointed out has a 99.999% chance of never affecting the house in it's lifespan

    So much to check with a timber frame, I would also check that they spanned things correctly as many simply do not know how to use AS1684 if they know what it even is in the first place. Another good thing to check is wind direction A and B bracing.

      @@harrycurrie9664 We shouldn't accept at defects at all. But it is almost impossible to build anything without making a mistake or two unless the experienced builder has time to check over single thing. A few defects is acceptable and not dodgy building as long as they are extremely minor represents about 0.0001% of the total build. I'm talking about bracing not being completely perfect, joist hangers around the wrong way in one small section etc. Obviously major things like structural beams being installed correctly is bad and shoddy work

    The truss grips are installed on the inside as their was no fall protection when the roof trusses were getting installed which is fine. Put them on the outside and you have an apprentice on the top rung of a ladder balancing tippy toed on 1 foot leaning over the edge trying to bang something in that doesnt do anything anyway.

I respect you man but that was a leg puller espescialy since it looked liek a tin roof but even so. Can't believe I'm blowing up over 11mm on a pre-fab hahahaha

    You would think that framers would know to use galv nails on the flooring if they do this sort of work daily. Too many mistakes for my liking. My son is building a house at the moment and I've seen enough bad workmanship to realize that no one seems to take any pride in their work these days. Inspectors do a vital job in protecting new home owners interests.

    • @pattothewhite2764
      @pattothewhite2764 Год назад +2

      Well the day that the chippy doesn't have to supply nails you might start seeing gal but you're saving a few hundred $ every frame by not buying gal so you'll never see it unless the client is willing to pay higher than the cheapest they can find because quality costs and has very little to do with taking pride in your work when the cost to work in it self is so damn high.
      And, framers?... that's all you need to know. If all that chippy builds is frames then there is your answer.
