$1.1 million dollar new construction pre-drywall inspection. You be the judge! #predrywallinspection #homeinspection #homeinspectionfails #newbuild #badbuilder
It looks like they were trying to straighten out a bunch of bowed studs. Carpenters often cut a kerf almost thru the stud at the most bowed point, push in on the stud to close up the kerf then nail a sister to it to reinforce it. That many cut 2x4s is unbelievable as are the stacked scrap wood and uneven stud lengths. 👎
Just reject the load of wood from the lumber yard. But this is probably a box store delivery (new builder?). Crap wood. Lumber yards put that crap to the side to discount. Or sneak to the new builder / diy'er (bad thinking but diy'ers are not there bread and butter).
I once saw a job where the farmers built a number of stud walls, and left them laying flat and exposed on the top deck of the building. At some point it rained before they put them up, and next thing you know, multiple walls were warped, and the framers cut all the studs and put in gussets and plates to try and cover it up. Guys had to tear out each cut stud and put in fresh lumber.
Foreigners without proper training im not saying all of them because a lot of them do good work but the language barrier is difficult that is just my personal experience but i would also never install lumber that isnt straight i just toss it aside and grab another
That is exactly what our stylecraft home looked like when they were building it. They were not happy when we told them that we would not be buying the house. Luckily I have helped build homes and noticed all the problems. Stay away from mass builders like dr Horton, stylecraft and the like.
Banks criminal financial investing behind criminal developers. Plus they get you on the loan. No conflict of interest here? Diamond loans on Lemon homes. They win, you lose.
Even if built to code. With superior workmanship. It would still be a POS! That house wouldn’t outlive the mortgage. Contractors build their own homes to commercial specs. As an old HVAC installer I’ve worked in a couple and what a difference! It was built like a bank! Poured basement walls. Southern Yellow Pine floor joists. Even under construction you couldn’t just yell from one floor to another. Solid as a tank! THAT is an investment property. Not the toothpick construction you see everywhere. Nobody but Americans build with such shoddy specifications. It’s allowed because it’s cheap. At $1M+ it’s no longer cheap!
Split studs are a poor job of stud straightening. You need to straighten studs prior to dry walling so you get flat beautiful walls. These guys obviously didn't cut and straighten properly, and had to sister a second stud along side.
The funny thing is that this house isn't being built by a low cost General Contractor it's being built by a General contractor who knows how to market quality without actually delivering it. Unfortunately most buyers care about what they can see. So the General contractor will make sure the home has whatever the latest design tend is. They will also skip on the mechanicals putting in HVAC equipment that will last at best 10 years because buyers don't care about mechanical equipment even though they should
Probably. It doesn't take much to make a2x4 warp even in place. Making a relief cut and attaching a sister stud is how to cure that issue. There's nothing wrong with that. These home inspector tik tokers just whip up hysteria for clicks then people in the industry have to deal with all the "experts"
Back in the mid 80s til early 2000s I worked for a great mason and he joked about the bricks holding the house up, after seeing your clips I think he is right.😵😵😵
I lived in Florida and saw a house with just lumber on the roof, then it poured rain all day , after the rain stopped they put the paper and shingles on and kept going. Cannot imagine what it was like after a year.
Kinda scary that "professional" contractors accept government work more readily than I have when I was just fixing stuff around work. Even worse that it's common knowledge throughout the industry and just accepted.

As an assistant superintendent building homes, there are steps that must be taken to make sure the subcontractors are doing the work per plan through quality checks. Each floor of framing needs to be quality assured before calling a city inspection. Construction 101.
It's not the workers' fault. They should know better, but they don't. Now, the builders and the owners of the trade companies have to know better and can be held accountable both in criminal and civil courts.
When you see studs cut like that, it’s typically because the stud is bowing out. So they will cut it about 3/4 - 7/8 of the way through to straighten it out. And instead of wasting time replacing it, just sister another one to it. You might see it typically on 1 or 2 studs here and there, but several of them in a row like that is kinda a red flag.
@@fishy2939 You missed my point that's obvious. Mistakes happen, and because we know people make them we have steps to take along the way to catch them and correct them. But, to post mistakes to the Internet with such a smug attitude is bad.
These people should be called out. These are not mistakes. This is shoddy work done by a contractor cutting corners or hiring unqualified people to make more money. How would you feel if you paid a million dollars for this home and ten years from now you are stuck spending 10's of thousands of dollars, if not 100+, of your own money to correct all these problems when you house starts caving in.
@@tsixclerk You are obviously young, because nothing is different, it's the way it is. But, I'm speaking of the guys smug attitude. He's probably never had to do anything critical but he can easily run his mouth! And since I'm a builder, I don't need some highschool punk kid pointing out anything, fully capable of doing it myself. Unlike you obviously, who has to have others do it for you.
Young? I'm probably old enough to be your dad. I'm an older geezer who has been burnt and seen other people burnt by crappy work way too much in my life. If this was a house you built for me, his attitude would be nothing compared to what you would get from me for charging way too much for substandard work.
@@tsixclerk. I assure you you are not old enough to be my dad unless you're pushing 100! And maybe you should have learned to do things on your own then to trust others. And this crap has always gone on, it's nothing new.
Once the wallboard goes in and painted no one will know years later a remodel might show that, I worked for a builder few years ago that had shoddy work like this, not by me, I wouldn't have done shit work like that.
"They dont build em like they used to" Boomers should see my house that was built in the 60s. My utility room's plumbing looks like that Windows 95 screensaver.

Who bought the material and supervised the job? Maybe a non foreign person?
@@billganahl7151he’s right though bro those foreigners have 0 fs weather they build a nice home or not they just want to get to the next one

Those studs were bowed.
That's how you fix them. Cut then, straight it. Sister in a piece.

Did you notice the hackjob plumbing rough in? What a joke.
Sheet rock will hide all that shitty framing, plumbing, electrical, and others.
Must be how Mc Mansions are built 😏
My guess is the studs were left out and became warped. They Installed them anyway, then cut them to try to take out the warp.

@@HarryDirtay Except, if they have to put in a sister stud, they don't need the warped stud anymore and might as a well toss it.@HarryDirtay
this guy should spend some time with a tool belt on. extra on the tool
The quantity of ignorant goofballs who eat up this shit content is amazing. Now i know why I run into so many experts😂

This blows my mind! Wow! 😮
That’s what happens when you got a superintendent that walks around being everyone’s friend
That looks like a David Weekley home in the Carolinas
When cost does not equal value
This house looks like a purposeful account of what not to do in every area of framing a house
This is what happens when companies try to go cheap and pay shitty employees
I still waiting for the union to call me lol
Straight to jail! No Parole!
Menace to Society!
There version of rough framing 😂
It looks like they were attempting to build a million dollar house with scrap they pulled out of dumpsters…
Looks like a Toll Brothers home.
Looks like a tear down. Hope the property value is worth it. 😮😢
After deducting the extra working hours and extra materials the house is worth 460k 😂
Reroofing million dollar homes you see these way too often. Sheets of Osb, not even one nail in them. 8/12, 9/12, 10/12 pitch. Shitty workmanship
I would guess the cut studs were done by an unpaid worker.
Wow. Just, wow.
Kinda scary that "professional" contractors accept government work more readily than I have when I was just fixing stuff around work. Even worse that it's common knowledge throughout the industry and just accepted.
Put down the crack pipe sir
I'd refuse to buy that trash.

Shoddy work but I've seen worse than this.
Had to cut it off five seconds in…can’t handle the cringe. The man is literally unworthy of my ear. Rigged elections have consequences.
This is why you never hire the lowest bidder.
The guys who do it right charge more for a reason.
Looks like a cobble job to me
When you see a new home being built, and there is no 2x4 scrap...run!
Looks like the 3 Stooges built it.

Construction 101.
Where do these fucking hackers come from???? My God ! Tear it down… please!
They need more licensing … I swear this is getting worse

You're being hysterical.😂 "tear the house down"? Sure thing sweetheart
@@HarryDirtay you buy it then. Hysterical….coming from the guy who built it I bet! . You can Sweetheart up on this …
Why cut wall studs?

Yikes!
It's way to easy now a days to criticize others, people love it. Especially those people that have never made a mistake. Sicking behavior.

Those $15 an hr McDonalds employees moonlighting in construction
appropriate, because they are building McMansions.
Don't most people who start out in construction start at minimum wage?

Well, someone could be reading the metric side of the tape when measuring and cutting.
I don't know what to say. But your fired!!!!!!! And no!!! You are not getting paid
Cool, beach of contract, leave your deposit at the door😂
MEXICANS 😂
Nope! A complete redo and a fine would be acceptable. Especially since they will pay all costs to have it redone. Period!
Looks like Mexican framing when they first came here
