@@miomine3527 it sure does 😭

@@user-lk5cj5zg1u lovely lol

Probably. But the only other option would be to replace the entire sewer line, and I imagine that's a little expensive and not entirely practical.

@@JonnyFlame10 it was 70+ year old ceramic pipe, they replaced with PVC and I’m pouring 6 inch concrete on top

@JonnyFlame10 it will be good, pipes like everything are meant to take on some weight..eventually it will collapse, but not in our lifetime..pipes come in different thickness..that cast iron pipe was probably 100yrs old..but cast iron sucks because it's prone to getting clogged because it gets rusted in the inside..and plastic pipes stay slippery..

@@MrMikeyt65 lol I called 811 before we dug. This is the city’s fault and they replaced it all.

@@sah_alphasah_terraria9749 oh wow, I’m sorry. If it’s city side the city should repair it. That was the case for me.

@@bradszymanski9910 in this particular case we weren’t aware that the sewer line was only 4-6 inches below the road. The pipe itself was on the bottom the slab. The city just said it’s an old house but it’s not to their code. I’m just happy the replaced it all with new pipe so I don’t have to worry about it

@@AdamantAlpha City thank goodness, they actually installed new PVC but I’m still highly questioning the depth. Crazy

Yup, unfortunately we live in a world where contractors aren’t doing their due diligence and working at pace to make money quicker.

@@scuba130 I think the moral of the story is respect your customer as if you were working on your own home.

@@jamesray4501 good to know. I was under the impression they would cover the outlets etc for protection. Can’t imagine sticking paper in them wouldn’t take longer than 5 mins

@@pedclarkemobile honestly I’m not sure but really good question.

Shouldn't matter. The job should be left in the same condition as when they started.

@eckstahsee depending on the contract or agreements...not alwayhe case. Such as a when the foundation is poured, they arent required to fix the grass around it since its going to get landscaped.

@@FadedDetailz agreed. I had them remove all the mud and material from the new deck. My electrician would have been pissed if he found the mud like that.

@@TsunamiKitten completely agree. I actually just told him that and he came back within 24 hours to clean up. Good for him :)

@@shooterthompson1275 great comment, thank you

Makes me curious what kind of business you have. Is it worth it maintaining an electrical license over subbing it out? I always sub electrical and plumbing work, seems like more hassle than the extra profit would be worth. Genuinely curious, I've got 5 regular guys and a crew of Mexicans I bring in on things like block and roofing.

@@austinbrown5426 I’m actually in residential real estate and this is my second building project as owner builder. My first run was a learning curve, this second run I have a little more experience so I’m spotting a lot more outside of the city inspections

@@austinbrown5426I am the senior foreman for a commercial contractor.

@@gregfisher189 Yes, it’s frustrating that the inspector couldn’t find wait for the adjustments but we got there quickly and passed the next day

This is an older post but that exactly what happened. All sorted 👍

Oh boy, oh boy. My electrician decided to drill through the block directly into my sewer & water line. Luckily it’s all shut off but I’m still baffled.

There should be a set of plans at the job site for all trades and being that it looks like the walls were closed and they couldn’t see the plumbing pipes he should have double check the plans for anything that could be running in that wall

In this particular case, all the electrician had to do is look up and they would of seen the plumbing sewer line which obviously ran down through the block wall. My best advice, always take a step back, think for a moment before you drill into a wall especially when it’s block concrete.

Unfortunately for him I’m the GC on the project and you’re correct in saying he was having a bad day. He apologized and made it right. On the bright side he passed his electrical inspection and he assured me he will pay attention. 👍

Absolutely!!! Seeing him love this week

Not taken, these were my early TH-cam days. This home sold a long time ago.

100% agree and I’m sorry to hear that. I’m on red alert watching these contractors but the inspections definitely save the day in some occasions

Agreed, we got it fixed up same day and passed inspection next day. This is my first time building so it’s great to hear everyone’s feedback.

You’re dead right. This was my first time building a home and now I know for future reference:)

I don’t do this for a living. This is my first ever build without a support system. See the comments below.

Sure did, I wasn’t aware that the two bars can’t be making contact. Live and you learn.

Got to start and learn somehow.

@DudleyEliteTeamInternational You had it .....then you didn't. It's not a learning process, it's a paying attention process. You knew bro. 😔

@@99sentcoins you live and you learn. This is my first time building and I’ve learnt so much. Matter of fact, the entire building is up now and competed. I have it!

@DudleyEliteTeamInternational Ahh, with your name I thought you had more experience.

@@99sentcoins only in real estate sales :) Building is an entire new realm for me. The knowledge, feedback and lessons have been incredible from the field and on here.

Which vent/ drain pipe?

What a show!!
