I agree with with you on this. Where I live they are required to be there by state laws and if a contractor builds something like this they install the anchors.
Per their website, prefabbed walls (which are min 9-1/16" thick) have at least a 2-1/2" space for running that (see tektoniks.com/building-systems-components/)
In most cases you plan your house where everything needs to go, bathroom, sinks, toilets, showers, bath tubs for the plumbing and the places for the outlets. They put the electrical and plumbing in when they produce it in the factory. Everything is connected inside of the wall, so they only need to make the connections coming out of the wall, and that's happening on the construction site when they assemble the parts to get the whole house. They also got some standards, and as everywhere, the more you deviate from the standard by ordering special requests, the more expensive the house will become.
Tommy, not sure if anyone else noticed...but I believe you installed the swing hanger bolts 90° rotation from where the small hinge eyehooks swivel with swinging motion...
@@Yaketyyak21 Hey Yaco21, I hope that nothing has happened to him, but my gut feeling is telling me that something is not right concerning Norm Abram, you know, it's like your sixth sense, or like, there's a disturbance in the force concerning Norm Abram.

Man that home builder dodged that question like a ninja "Are they taking away jobs from people" "well we like to think of things differently.... " rambles on some more about non-related stuff, and there ya go.
He did dodge it but he is right, factory built home do raise the quality controls and the quality of life of the workers . You would find it weird if your new car was being assembled by your local mechanic, factory conditions are ideal.
Mike B it was a poor answer, he could have said “No way we are employing x number of people with full benefits and better working conditions!” But it’s also a dumb question. No one asked Xerox if they were putting secretaries out of business even though they definitely where.
Will jobs be taken away? Well the consumer gets a better quality product like it was from a factory just like most other products Americans buy, except it is a house. Avoiding the question like a true politician.
“Is this taking away jobs” blah blah talk around the question! Yes it’s takes away a lot of jobs! They keep doing this and nobody will be able to afford the products they automate!
20:15 yes but soon they will have babu in bangladesh do it remotely instead of hiring someone from America. Until American's are guaranteed they don't have to compete globally for jobs and housing nothing will get better.
Tommy with kids is so wholesome
I saw not a single goat.
10:27 how happy he is that he made down the big boy slide!
That swing-set segment is so good. Tommy is so great.
Seeing Tommy in grandpa mode is so refreshing 😊
The excitement in Charlie's face. ♥
I want Tommy as a grandfather....
In the factory house, how are electrical, ducting, and plumbing later run in already insulated and sealed walls?
22:06 How to dodge the question like a pro lol
Charlie's one happy little guy.
I hinged my slide to mow under it.
I'm just glad everything was so "ackerit" in that assembly plant.
My sawhorses are made out of 2x4 with one on top to make a flat surface on top, and instead of Paracord I use chain, same basic idea though.
Mama's pretty good with that hammer!
Those saw horses are awesome
dame Tom is the man
I'm surprised that they don't also print a QR code on each part. Then you can just scan it at the job site or in the fab to learn where it goes.
"Are you taking jobs away from carpenters?"
"Well... yeah"
soo true he just side stepped the question with some bs statement lol
Factory automation has been eliminating old jobs for centuries

We all know the answer to that. He could have been a little more honest about it though.

Wonder how much of that plastic wrap ends up in a landfill.
Hey Zac we got bad news. We just purchased a glue gun robot. Thanks for coming.
No anchors for the swing set?

Hi TOH , I want a transformer like house , just like the movie ! 👍😁❤
Haven't I seen this episode before?
How do they do the electrical and pluming with those prefabbed walls? If they're already full of insulation.
Per their website, prefabbed walls (which are min 9-1/16" thick) have at least a 2-1/2" space for running that (see tektoniks.com/building-systems-components/)

@@Marcel_Germann yeah but minimum you'd put an outlet on every wall and the example there wasn't any
@@Greg8872 but it's full of loose insulation, maybe the inside walls wouldn't but still
@@SwiftHelix Its not FULL of insulation, there is at least a 2-1/2" section that is without it between the 7/16" OSB and the 5/8" interior finish.

Does anyone know the 2019 update on Norm Abram, is he ok?
LENOVOVO what happened norm..
He's 70 years old, he just might be in pension

He wont care if it means more money for him
22:08 for reference 👌
@@gerardoandrade6966 And for the average consumer if it saves them money, they won't care either.
