A video with both Jonathan and Jeremy? I always thought they were the same person. Jonathan was Clark Kent and Jeremy Superman? This was a really great explanation of how things are shipped and set. I really appreciate you taking the time to film, edit, and post this.
Maybe a better analogy would be Donald Blake and Thor. Blake, an average citizen, summons the Almighty Thor to save the day. They can exist in the same place and time, but one is clearly superior to the other.
I mean I'm not trying to be rude or hateful but that looks very cheap and chintzy I would prefer a steel I-beam going all the way across the basement to support that. And I would also prefer to have a 9-ft basement to accommodate that I-beam being ran from one end to the other end for more of a structural support
This basement height is actually 10'! Typically doing an i-beam can remove half the load bear columns, but not always. Sometimes the point load is too much to redistribute and remove the post.
@@Buffalomodularso could you still have an I-beam put in. And that's wonderful that the basement height is 10 ft . Now what keeps the snakes and rats and things like that from entering the basement between the connection of the home and the foundation and one other quick question is this bolted to the foundation
Most houses are designed to not need an ibeam. This owner was considering one, but upon further review with the engineer, decided against it because it wasn't going to remove enough columns to be worth it.
Customer reviews can really help bring clarity to the full spectrum of experiences you can have. You'll have some that are high praise and other that let you know what a terrible experience it is. It seems you rarely see a review that says something was satisfactory. I've found it helpful to sometimes see if those folks have left other reviews on things and what they say about other experiences. There's also never really one side to a story. We've had people say that they know that they are terrible customers, but we have felt like it was a pleasure to work with them! It's always a good idea to do your homework for sure and not go into something as big as building a home with the blinders on. You want to know what you're getting in to for sure!
I understand the house came in 2 sections and by looking at the long section it does need all the post supports but seems like a lot of wasted basement space. A better solution would be to design in the use of LVL beam and use one post support. I know as a homeowner the additional $1k or even $2k is minimal

@@Buffalomodular yes!
@Buffalomodularhomes I absolutely love this comment! Totally hilarious. All jokes aside it is great to see Jeremy.

Love the patience and grace you display. Keep it classy BMH.@@Buffalomodular
How come that marriage line isn't sitting on a steel I-beam

Was considering this co. for my next build, but then started reading customer reviews.
@@mattp4079 what type of reviews what's given. And where did you find these reviews cuz I don't see any reviews

There's a variety of ways you can look at removing posts, but this will be up to the engineers discretion and what the owner is looking for.
We had an engineer do this very thing so we could have a bigger living space in our basement
