Hi, What does the codes say about stairs and child safety? Here in Norway (Europe) we have codes regulating the opening/rise between the steps. In an open staircase one would have to limit the opening to around 4"ish.
@@cney2125 the horizontal balusters (at least in the USA) WHERE outlawed by the code in the early 2000's (I wanna say the 2003 IRC off the top of my head) but either the 2009 or 2012 IRC brought them back to being OK, but as for that massive opening of the riser that fails the 4" sphere test I don't know who they paid off to get away with that, no way is that code compliant.
I keep thinking, "I shouldn't watch these, I'm from the UK!", but the presentation and info is well done, I can't help myself. Keep up the good work....The Buuuuuuuild Show.
beautiful!! but i dont get the lead coated copper? why not using sheet zinc? i googled it, bc i did not know it at all here in austria. lead isnt allowed here anymore for roofing things... (except church buildings or other preservation orders)
Well built to be sure. Bravo. But as for design, it seems so dead. It's more beige than a Toyota dealer. And the patina on all that lumber will take it closer to the grave.
I'm in the same boat as @Elias Ziel in this one; Why cover up the natural beauty of copper with boring gray lead? As copper ages it gets that beautiful greenish patina too. Mmm 😍 Why not use galvanized instead of copper on this house? Obviously they could afford copper but if you're going to cover it up, why bother? Am I missing something?
Presently 80% of America cannot even afford a 'bonsai-version' of that house! Breath-taking though, must be something else to live in a place like that!
Lead makes for so really great flashing material around chimney stacks and roof lines. Maybe a visit to England on your next road trip - see some more of these style windows over there.
no, the windows do not open "in the wrong direction". if the window opened in what you apparently consider to be "the right direction", the window sash would hit the lift and slide door on the perpendicular wall.
They are installed correctly. See www.innotech-windows.com/windows-doors/windows/tilt-turn-windows Maybe the Polish builders installed your windows the wrong way. These European style windows swing this way so you can clean them from inside the room.
Ed Surowiec I think I saw roof vents in some of the drone footage; look closely at the end of the video. But, vents aren’t really necessary... in 1988 my cousin and I did all the plumbing for a 3 bedroom log cabin and because of the challenges of running plumbing vent stacks through the log walls and roof we used one-way “air admittance vents” rather than traditional through the roof vents, and while using *only* AAVs with *no* vent to outside air is not recommended (or allowed by code) their use can greatly declutter the roofline.

@@250P I appreciate the explanation, but I believe Ancients Nox is asking about the wisdom of deliberately using a highly toxic heavy metal on our homes.

@Matt I really like the flush vent registers in this video but I am not able to find the same to buy. Could you provide details on this product. Thanks.
Nice "Mechanical Corral"... but why not cover it with an awning, or extend the roof over it? A couple of 4x4 posts on the 2 outer corners and you could extend a cover over it and not have it exposed to the elements as badly. Would suck to work on it during bad weather or extremely sunny day. Shade makes it better! (And if you want to get fancy, you can go for a louvered patio cover, and open & close it with the push of a button).
yes thats not smart at all in a home if you have babys learning how to walk or craw they well fall and get hurt or worse kill them selfs. steeps like that should only be used outside of a house like for upper decks or so on but in the end its still not a good idea to have it open at all you asking for something to go worng so it should NOT be doing that as much as it looks nice its not worth the real price it can cost. by the end of the day you putting some one in harms way.
truly spectacular and meticulous detail construction. My critique, tho, is that overall the house does not present a unified appearance. It doesn't look like a specific place, it's more like a sample set.
Honestly lead isn’t a risk as long as it’s not in your water supply, or around kids and flaking. Plus it’s great for outside construction, especially flashing
Aloha Matt what a awesome video and great ideas. I was wondering with all the heavy weather the states have been going through like flooding ect. When building new homes or remodeling homes do you think having a higher foundation to raise the home to maybe better protecting the home from flooding be standard now? Keep up all the hard work.
The windows were tilt and turn. We're the doors too? My place in Switzerland has tilt and turn patio doors and one giant tilt and slide patio door. All exterior doors and windows had exterior roll up metal shades too.
A ton of modern-esq style. Love the concrete wood wall. Clearly they put a lot of thought and money into the house. And ran out of money when it came to the driveway.
You mentioned the name of the company that makes those sconces - can you point me to their website? I LOVE their design, and have been looking for new ones for my house. Thanks!
The gate sagging on the corral that little bit throws the whole look off. It suprises me how people cant figure out gate bracing. If they put the brace in the right way there wouldnt been a problem with the gate lining up with the rest of the gate (atleast for 5 to 10 years till it gets old.)
Even birds are dying of lead poisoning. Yellowstone National Park recorded the death of a Bald Eagle as the result of eating lead contaminated meat, but hey, lets use lead in our water source. Flint Michigan anyone?
When I lived in Europe my government built apartment had those tilt windows. (Well a cheap version of them back in the 90s) my point is that latch mechanism has been around a looooooong time.

Triple glazed windows in Texas. Impressive! I have yet to install any in Canada. This summer will be my first time. Building my own house. Good job Wade
@@hans8902 Eh, nothing wrong with lead in the proper application. Paint was an issue because old paint flaked and kids were exposed. Here? not a problem. Just like we still use asbestos today. In the proper application naturally.
Why worry about it when energy is so cheap? I can't handle 900 dollar windows. There's no guarantee my neighborhood won't fail and I'm forced to move before the windows even pay for themselves.
Saddle gate hardware is standard by region, in the USA. When I lived in Michigan, every chain link fence automobile split gate had them. When I moved to Ohio, they had no idea what we were talking about.
@@ladykoh4678 It does change in the UK too but obliviously we are a much smaller country, so variation isn't as likely. I love rural gate hardware in the UK because they often make it themselves. For example a small gate where a walking trail crosses a field may have a large stone on a chain to pull the gate shut to stop animals escaping. Maybe I should take pictures for a hipster coffee table book
Those are all some beautiful details, but when you walked into that utility space outside I noticed that the fence doors are braced backwards and it shows in that the door is starting to sag. How is it possible that on such a high end build that simple mistake was allowed?
Money and effort was put into this construction but it's over-stating for the guys to call this true 'high-end' detail. But to your question...I work in 10-30mill home build market and even these have imperfections, if you know what you're looking for.
When is someone going to build a inexpensive vinyl version of these German triple glazed windows for those of us with limited budgets? As much as I hate regulation, I suspect it won't happen until codes require a better U factor for windows
If you watch one of Matts earlier videos where he was in a German home building store, they had triple glaze, triple seal windows for $130 (after USD conversion). I was blown away by the price for such a high quality window. I don't understand why in USA we have such junk windows manufactured here.
I see this mistake SOOOooooo often. The doors in half the Hollywood westerns are done this way. The diagonal support on the gate is going the wrong direction. It should extend down to the lower hinge to support the falling weight of the door or gate to the hinged side.

The second hanger puts those bolts in shear. The fabricated hanger should support the wood independent of the bolts.
I imagine they used shoulder bolts so it's not just clamping force supporting it.
Not much weight on them, just a patio
Basically it's holding the weight of the individual beam and the cross boards. Cedar is not that heavy. If it had a roof, I would be worried.

If you watch one of Matts earlier videos where he was in a German home building store, they had triple glaze, triple seal windows for $130 (after USD conversion). I was blown away by the price for such a high quality window. I don't understand why in USA we have such junk windows manufactured here.
The cross beams (Z) on the gate are the wrong direction.
Nice...nice
"2x3 'square' downspouts..." Are you sure there boss?
i'm pretty sure they are oval and coated in lead
Those steps are illegal a.f. where I'm from
how many millions it costs... I just wonder?
No way those stairs are code!
“Galvanized so it’s not going to rust” everyone in the North cringed hearing this.
@matt DRAWED? Really? The word you use for past tense is DRAWN. /grammar Nazi
He's a builder, cut him some slack 😊
BadWolfy you're a terrible grammar Nazi! The past tense is this case would be DREW. "Detailed it, drew it" not "Detailed it, drawn it/drawed it"
I see this mistake SOOOooooo often. The doors in half the Hollywood westerns are done this way. The diagonal support on the gate is going the wrong direction. It should extend down to the lower hinge to support the falling weight of the door or gate to the hinged side.
