You missed a step. After excavation and before footers. You should use aggregate such as pea gravel for adequate drainage.

Awesome!

Building new here without putting a basement in is kind of foolish. Crawl spaces are more trouble than they're worth.

What about one with a basement?

I'm from the US Northeast. I prefer a basement.

Na don't move here

False. The Fall is the best movie in the world, released in 2005 and directed by Tarsem Singh!

Get that hip checked buddy .

lets hope the main water shut off valve works because the toilet one eventually won't.

Never seen a main electrical disconnnect in a breaker panel. It is always "calll the utility to disconnect." Is that new code? Or just on new construction since ?2010?

And #6, your gas meter shut off valve (and its wrench)

Haha so glad the water shut off is in the wall 😅

simple and to the point, well done

If you need to explain this in the first place, those people should not be working on anything.

PEX stubouts? Gross.

Should have also shown the main gas valve at the meter.

New construction house and the water lines for the sink come up out of the floor instead of out of the wall? Pretty damn crooked to boot.

Do not shut off your electric by using the main breaker. Instead use the individual breakers for the branch circuit that you are working on. Flipping the main breaker turns off the power to your entire home at once. This sudden interruption can cause an arc within the main breaker resulting in damage and possibly preventing the main from being reset. If you must turn off the main breaker, you should shut off each branch circuit breaker individually until they are ALL turned off. Then and only then would it be safe to flip the main breaker. When you're returning power to the home, reverse this procedure. Turn the main on first, then each branch circuit individually. Additionally, there is a main gas valve located adjacent to the gas meter that will shut off all the gas to your home. If you smell gas, call 911.

Saved! We had a major situation at my Grandma’s a couple of years ago-water pouring out in the garage in HUGE bucket amounts. Had to call my dad, who sent me to main water shut-off until he could get there and repair it. Everyone should see this!

They should show this to all tenants at move in.

Pointless

Add sound proof insulation in the interior walls and high r value insulation in the floor, exterior walls and ceiling. Trust me on that one.

Bonus room lol you just described a room short of the walls and ceiling. Also f*ck realtors and all the people scamming money off human beings seeking shelter

That's called a master bedroom lol

New builds are such over priced garbage. I hope you’re happy with the money you make off of ripping people off.

Radon gas?? Why you building homes in Chernobyl... lmfao.

Egress windows are a newer requirement. Because at some point the basement will get finished.

I like the term "man door"

I never see a basement in my life that has windows with ladders for egress huh

I pee on gravel more than you’d like to know..

Humm, in my state, anchor bolt washers need to be 2x2…

Bill Belichick building houses now?

Why pea gravel. 2b is cheaper

All I notice as a stair guy is that wall that’s going to get a terrible flat cap next to the stairs instead of a nice open stringer with the balusters landing on the treads.

Have fun cleaning the ceiling from the grill

Dale Frazell New Construction Real Tour, nice video keep it up

That would be called blocking not backing

Glad to see you used lumber as backing not some osb b.s.

Doorways vs furniture is something no one ever considers

Needs to be done at design not during construction.

8’ tall garage doors always

None of those things will be changed by the builder

Where is the dumbwaiter?

And number six, make sure your builder glues and screws all stairs and landings so they aren’t squeaky 10 years from now.

The shower head will be loose you should run out 12" of copper then you strap clamp and make it solid

blocking for a tv, only 2 feet higher than where they will mount it. perfect.

... 2 words.... tread mill ...

If you are going to have an RV garage, have a sewer connection and use the RV as a guest house when parked in the garage. Drain for washing car 220 EV chargers / welding / compressor, etc. Skylights AND windows Tons of LED lights

The thing I love most about buying houses outside of America is that our walls are made of wall. Like, the entire wall - it's just wall-to-wall wall instead of specific little narrow strips.

Thank you sir.
