      I dont remember when they (or if they) said it was built but building codes are a relatively recent thing in some places (50's-60's) for some and I think where I live they weren't around until like 86.
      Before that it was mostly left to individual cities to decide if they wanted to codify anything or mostly just trust that the tradesmen/architect's/engineers were doing what was needed: That's part of why it used to be such a huge deal if an architect's/engineers house/building/bridge or whatever had issues or collapsed because you basically trusted that they did things the right way and it was proven wrong. That's also why older buildings were so "overbuilt" because they didn't have the data we do now and computer modeling to set tolerances tight enough to build things "just right" so some things might be 2x or 3x stronger than needed in some cases which is most likely what kept this house standing with all that damage and shoddy workmanship.

      I used to have a poisonous toad living in the bushes at a previous house. That house had severe ant problems (pantry raiders, not carpenters) until she showed up. Finding a few toad poops confirmed what I thought: she was our new pest control lady. Despite being a danger to the dogs, I felt she more than paid her rent for her home in those bushes. Likely Jenna's new non-dangerous lizard friend is just being her new pest control guy, too.

    Nicky, Jenna, u guys rock! In the early 70's my dad dismantled a 5 building complex in conner Montana, called the Happy Hen Hatchery. He gave away 2 buildings, 40 feet by 60 feet, 2 stories, and took down 2 more that size and one 5 story. Not many 5 story wooden structures were built in Montana in the 1920s. He ended up with over 100,000 board feet of lumber. Even salvaged the nails. He built a shop and added on to their little farmhouse, my husband and I built our first house as well.

      Those nails were into end-grain, and nails have little holding power in end-grain. But, they do provide shear resistance, and keep things from moving sideways. The roof has enough weight to keep the wall from coming apart vertically. That's why those metal joist hangers are used, as it keeps all structural nailing away from the end-grain.

      @carolynkoster7311 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Agreed… Using Nick’s “fun fact “ analogy… Consider checking your local building code requirements for exterior walls . We did a similar rebuild thinking we were saving money and helping the planet by keeping the original structure and studs (preserving/salvaging what we could), only to find out way too far down the road that in our area, all exterior walls must be at least 6” thick to accommodate current insulation code regulations. The original structure had 2x4s like yours. It was a very expensive mistake to fix after the fact. The choices we were giving to remedy when it came time to proceed with insulation permit was to either replace all exterior walls or add 2” scab to all exterior studs. Since the entire house was pretty much built and ready for insulation at this point, we were screwed. Sharing so you can avoid a similar mishap now before you’re as far down the road as we were. Best wishes to you both! I really enjoy your channel.

    • @gnowland
      @gnowland 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Oh contraire, mon ami!!! The reason the wood is poorer today than back in the day is that we finally realized the amount of destruction we were inflicting on the environment and passed regulation requiring a more sustainable way to harvest lumber. Conventional lumber nowadays is mostly "new growth" because the loggers now repeatedly plant and harvest trees from a designated plot in a cycle -- the lumber is lesser quality, but the environmental impact is also far less. I'll take slightly crappier wood for less deforestation any day! :)

    • @connornelson100
      @connornelson100 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

I was awake and took off my eye mask and gave him a look and said calmly “You’re fired!” He said his usual “yeah, yeah, yeah” and laughed.

      Considering the buildings age and location it might not have even have been within the city's true borders at construction, but at the same time building codes are relatively new in the history of building things with many cities not having them (or having only a few) since like the 60's-80's. But if this was county land when built I can pretty much guarantee there was little to no codes/inspections they needed to follow.

      So the west coast of the north american continent is part of the pacific ring of fire. This means a much higher likelihood of deadly earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Wood buildings can flex when the earth moves. Stone does not. Also, we have a crap ton of trees. Why not use them?

    I always look forward to watching your videos come out! I admire how much hard work you guys are putting into this, it's amazing. It'll be so cool to watch you put the house back together after spending so much time taking it apart!
