Yes continue with these videos. Helps us guys in the west what you guys go through on the plains. Thanks Brad
That homeowner was very lucky to have that same builder available. Huge cost and time saver. Hope the insurance company didn’t push back on that.
It’s smart to hire the same contractor if had a positive experience with them the 1st time!
Awesome video on showing the destruction & rebuilding of a home. Would be nice to see more on the restorations of the homes that were damaged by the tornado! Stay Safe & God Bless!! 🤠👍
Ok! I will work on that for you 👍
It's so sad to see what the tornado did to all those peoples' homes. I lost one in a fire, so in a way I can relate. I'm glad that most hopefully were able to save/find some items, but it is still completely devastating. The homeowner was very fortunate that he was able to work with the original framer and builder.
I had a bit of a chuckle to myself at 2:57 when you showed all of the debris in the dumpster. It made me think of my grandpa who would have been out there with his claw hammer pulling nails out of most of those 2x4s and taking what he could salvage home. He lived to be 97yo and was born in 1907 if memory serves. He collected everything.
He actually built a few museum buildings in the town where they lived and even had the original post office building, church and blacksmith's shop across the street from their home. My brothers, cousins, friends and I grew up playing in those buildings and will all of the other things he had outside. I remember my brothers pulling me on a one seat contraption that was pulled by a horse. (They were the horses, haha.) I digress... my point in all of this was him collecting the wood. Heck he would have kept the nails too if they weren't totally bent. His famous line was "a good carpenter can drive a crooked nail straight in". I remember watching him outside literally hammering nails that were bent until they were straight(er) and then put them in the tobacco cans in the garage that were screwed to the underside of wooden shelves so that he could the screw cans onto the lids and get them off his work surface.
Ah, this trip down memory lane has once again made me into a blathering fool. Thanks for sharing another video with us, Brad. Great to see you out and about. I hope you, Mary and your boys are doing well. Speaking of your boys, my most sincere Congratulations and best wishes to Nate and his wife on their recent wedding! That's lovely. Are they enjoying living in the "haunted house" on Flair's property? It has to be nice to be so close to all of you - I hope they're doing well and that you all got to have some much needed family time. Time for Nate to introduce his Mrs. to us, haha. Kidding - not everyone would want to be in the videos. I know I sure wouldn't, haha!
All the best - I better stop before I bore you (and anyone who reads this) to tears.

Watching all of the reconstruction is so sad, but also very interesting. Please continue Brad. God bless.
Thanks! Will do 👍
I'd like to see more videos like this. Maybe in a future video you could compare and contrast homes that can be rebuilt and those that have to be demolished. I'd be interested in knowing how the insurance/homeowner/contractor make that determination.
Love these videos I feel for everyone. I was out of my house twice for over 6 months due to fire.
Curious. How do you catch your house on fire twice? I'm 60 and don't know anyone who has ever caught their house on fire.
@@fauxque5057I could ask my neighbor how, it'll be a little bit before he gets out of prison though.
Thanks Brad. Shows that hiring a builder who has been in business a long time helps. The builder who built my home was only in business a couple of years. If my home was destroyed in a tornado. I would be totally lost. I’m sure there are some families where the rebuilding process is an overwhelming experience.
Love your interaction with other contractors and home owners. Great advice on keeping blue prints. Something we all should do!
Great video seeing what needs to be done and what is getting done. That was a great crew you videoed today
Yes please show us more.
It's very interesting to see how everything is put back together after a disaster like this. 👍
I find it interesting too!
@@bradbrown7213y'all so gullible 😢
Another great video. Hopefully Ralph can provide more commentary as well!
please show more vids like this there is no other videos like this though the eye of a builder after a storm!
I’m going to use your tagline… Thanks for reaching out
Continued prayers for everyone this is devastating to see houses like this I can imagine what everyone is feeling it’s very educational though
Love these videos! Praying for families affected by the storms. Yes 🙌 want to see the progress.... but one little request... you need a camera man.🫢
Great video Brad, yes keep the videos coming. Yes you were lucky to not have that much damage. Feel for those people that lost everything. But they are lucky that know one was hurt or killed. Thank God for that the home can be rebuilt for sure. Take care.
Thanks Brad
Good time to do any remodeling if you didn't like where something was at, and more power outlets, and water lines and/or drains to a new area.
Yes. Absolutely. Visiting other job sites is entertaining and educational.
Ok! Thanks
Yes, keep these kind of videos going. Makes me appreciate what I have. Thank you.
Thank you Brad and sounds good to me ! I would like to hear from other builders who might not hv a crew ? How do they find a crew that fast ? Such a shortage on seasoned framers, plumbers, electricians! And good GC’s all over for fast p/u and build like yesterday!
The house to the right of this one with the circle window up top was for sale when the tornado hit and it was gorgeous. Also, my brother had just put an offer on a house in the subdivision across the road 2 blocks from this house the week of the tornado. Luckily that area was spared damage.
Wow! That was a close one 😮
Great episode sir. Yeah I like these kinda videos too. There’s several homes in my area that look the same. Some people near me still don’t have power due to the large things that actually hold the wire were pushed down or folded over
Enjoy these videos w other contractors..Thanks for this one...
Yes continue on .
Ok 👍
Wow, that's just terrible damage Brad...you were so lucky to avoid the worst of it. Keep the show going my friend I look forward to them🤩
Thanks… I will
Wow it would take some balls to get on that roof to set those trusses😳 scared me watching it! Thanks for your wonderful videos brad
They climb around like it’s no big deal!!
Brad cool of you to go out and document and promote other builders
If you like this I will do more
Yes, that would be very interesting to se. Thanks Brad
Ok! Thanks
I like watching these videos
Been good 👍. My Dad is a retired builder. Now my brother and my Son are builders. I grew up on building sights. Lol. 😮😮😅😅❤❤
I like these videos
Awesome video as always Brad 🎉❤
Awesome video Brad. I miss being able to work on projects like this
Thanks
Brad I’d watch any of your videos. Hubby will always tell me when you have a new video up!
I post every Thursday & Sunday night ❤
Very interesting video Brad really enjoyed it
Thanks Brad
I really enjoy watching your videos 👍
Goos

Thanks, Brad. I have to say Tornadoes freak me out😳!
I've seen the Sea come up and eat houses but,that doesn't fling everything you own everywhere 🫢!
Thanks for reminding the Folks that thos is real and still going on after a month of nothing happening,not cool🥴.
JO JO IN VT 💞🇺🇲
How about a sinkhole opening up in your bedroom and you are never seen again? Happened to a guy here in Florida years ago.
@@fauxque5057 Yikes😳!

12:40 Brad, have you ever thought about building some rentals?
The price of homes are too expensive to build rental homes in my market. You’re better off buying existing which I’ve done.
Love your videos, you do a great job 😀👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤
Great content 👍
Yeah this was a great video.
Thanks
@@bradbrown7213 Here in Texas we had a tornado touchdown and take a young couple and the house up into the sky at valley view tx Elisabeth Gilber and Zack Moore are on life support. The story is crazy, you and I are so lucky God willing.
Some people are just starting life and cannot afford a bunker.
Great video and thank you much. 😅
Casino I worked for was building on, had a straight line wind event. Laid all the roof framing over snapping a lot of the trusses... 10 years later we were running some new wiring thru that attic space and found the shady construction company had scabbed the trusses back together with 2' pieces of 2x4!!! Native American casino so no building codes... explained the constant roof sags and leaks, the drywall falling off the ceiling and crashing thru the suspended ceiling...had a 20' x 4' piece of drywall peel off because the truss twisted, drywall injured 10 people, caused $50k in damage to the slot machines below it when half the suspended ceiling came down with it.. They finally blew the whole roof off, brand new trusses, new decking, new steel roof instead of shingles... and new construction company as they sued the old one for the shoddy work.
Amazing they are right on it. Outstanding of that builder. We have a @Megatel home and it’s an absolute P. O. S. stay far away from them.
Builders love homes made of matchsticks, they get to come back and build them again!
Is a lot of insurance companies lowballing the repair costs? I could understand with the large extent of damages it will take some time for them to get everything done.
It’s sad to know that that’s part of the insurance game lowballing people which forces the customer to have to hire a third-party adjuster to revalue what they’ve lost to fight with their insurance company
I don't understand why Americans living in those tornado-prone areas INSIST on building homes with wood, not concrete and steel. At least build the outer walls using blocks and frame the roof with steel.
Old habits are hard to break
Yes this os where news media stops reporting but its where the general public needs to know ehat next?
Thank Brad, it is so bad and more of the same every day now, thanks.
Do you believe that your house survived due to its contribution? What did you do to help it survive? (Keep up the videos great to see how the recovery process works!)
I think I just got lucky with the tornado
Brad I am wondering. Does an ICF constructed home fare better in a tornado than stick built?
a Monolithic Dome would be superior in durability to both of those.
Continue
Cool vid, definitely out of the norm. Yes cover the prosses of putting the pieces back together would be interesting, try to get a ajuster to talk about ins and out and what we as a home owner should be doing to CYA, see ya on the next one
Brad, if you're paying $50 dollars for a sheet of osb, you need to find a new vendor.
Anybody in that business that doesn't use Ground Protection Mats, is foolish. Or some people call them swamp mats 3'X8' $185.00 and they basically last a lifetime.
That’s generally how it works in a disaster area, the price of things like OSB boards go up dramatically
Yep give us more of the same
👍 ok
Like Number 6 🍻🍻🍻
Brad thumbnails are more annoying then Flairs!!!!!💯🤦
Any suggestions?
Lol...YEAH STOP!!!🤣
Brad you and Andrew are very lucky with the minimal damage taken thank GOD
Amen
I've got a quesstion when I go to my house am building is it okay to go after the workers go home and clean up?
I would say yes, but check with your builder to make sure the site is safe… As Builders we love it if the homeowner is able to help out especially with cleaning up the job site👍
The tornado destruction is so extreme this year!!! You probably have more work than you want. 💜
The tornados do seem to be excessive this year
I like content of your home. I just love looking at the house inside & out and the property. I is so beautiful (still) and so well designed. Can't wait to see it all in its glory again. Really enjoy watching the clean up and rebuild off your home.
Thanks !
