What an AWESOME video Corbett and Grace! I really enjoy your insights and expertise regarding F**k'd up buildings. Excuse the language. Keep up the GREAT work, man!
Back in the 1980 my dad had a reusable charcoal filter installed in the furnace. It had rectangular 1x2 tubes spaced 2 inches apart filled with charcoal. So no real extra strain on the furnace fan, that came from only replacing the 1” filters once a year. Our fridge compressor gas sprung a leak and the fridge stopped working. The repair man asked how was it possible we did not smell it. It was that carbon filter. Here is the problem. To refresh the carbon you baked it at 350 for an hour. I would hate to see the chemical levels that week in our house.
Interesting statement about the tilt windows needing screens on the outside. I had never thought about that because I live in Seattle. All our screens are on the outside. We spray them with a hose once a year when we wash the windows and they last decades. Sounds like that would not be true in other climates.
At 18:50 you talk about how you can't just condition one part of the house due to moisture issues. Is that the reason why people say if you spray foam your attic you actually have to condition it too? Very interesting video, thanks
Those interior doors are amazing! I've never seen a detail where the jambs go right to the ceiling and there's a panel above the door that's in line with the door so it looks like one tall unit. Can you do a short video about the door design and the trim details?
It might be a plumbing trap that is drying out…. Get a smoke making machine for testing plumbing drains…..you have to pump the smoke into a clean out port….. it might be a challenge in test building
@@HomePerformance sorry Corbett…. I didn’t catch that you definitively diagnosed the problem… I thought your suspicion was that it was coming from the space between the drop ceiling and the actual ceiling…… I thought this was merely a suspicion… My apologies… I’m just putting it out as a plumber. we typically will diagnose suspected sewer issues with a smoke machine… (Most people don’t know a smoke machine exists )when I discuss it with them … But smoke machines are very effective at sending smoke through the drain system,…. if you see smoke coming out inside the house, then you can pinpoint the actual problem. In some instances you can actually solve the problem …. Otherwise, it goes out the plumbing vents on the roof.
talking about a sewer gas smell I once worked on a DIYer plumbing PU NOT a single vent pipe yeah he saved NO MONEY on this job.. a lot of ripping out of sheet rock and then roofing work. People who are clueless should pay someone so that they can remain clueless. Would save them a lot of money and permitting problems.

High five Jason! Thanks man- keep changing the world with your work too, we need you!
24:21 I really like this piano transition. Nice!
Great video and topic!
Thanks for following
Super interesting video Corbett.
Glad you think so Chris
This video needs to be watched not just listened to. FYI
Thanks for sharing. Lots to be done.

I get spoiled with casements, which is all we have in our own homes. Never need cleaning.
Great video thank you!
Glad you liked it

Yes, very astute

Good eye Ryan, but that’s def a topic for one of the builder channel’s instead of ours.
Hello Corbett! Welcome to Europe!
Thanks Florin! Be back soon we hope. You got some good stuff.
Did you play that little piano interlude yourself?
Aw thanks Frankie. Not this time.
