    My Main Takeaway: I should have found and paid for higher skilled labor to complete this custom detail, who have extensive experience in completing the exact custom detail. My mistake was that I tried to complete this challenging detail as a beginner builder by asking subcontractors to try it for the first time. I set myself up for failure. Never the less, let's learn together and do better on the next one. Thanks for 100K. Road to 1 Million!

      That is exactly right my man, this a $1M+ home, it’s another league in this game, you needed capo de capos for this build, I would’ve invested in higher skilled labor and have my people or I learned from them every single step so that I can use it for all my future build. You gotta pay to learn somehow. Keep it up brother love these series!

      Yea high end carpenter/contractor here small biz custom work I have not done the flush base except for kitchen cabinets.But I think
      Run drywall long
      Scribe base
      Snap line on drywall
      Cut install a trim
      Nail off base

    We are currently working on a new construction home in Southern California. We are doing a similar shadow reveal detail above the baseboard and around all the door jambs. I advised the builder we are working with to install the baseboard first, and then we would install the shadow bead above the finished baseboard. Another builder we worked with had another drywall contractor install the shadow bead before the baseboard, and he got the same results (uneven reveal above the baseboard). He spent thousands ripping it off and redoing this detail. I learned from his mistake. Many builders have asked me to install the shadow bead before the baseboard, and I always tell them about the story of what happened to that builder. It works every time.

    I'll be the first to admit, this is an extremely long video, and I found myself fast forward and skipping around. But PLEASE do not let that beginning statement deter or undermine what you're doing. First, bro you're YOUNG and the fact you're doing a custom build is absolutely amazing! Many kudos on that front alone! Second, thank you for sharing your experiences, especially the failures. Without failure we will never learn. If we never share those failures, how will others learn? With that said you have a bright career/future in both building and TH-cam. It speaks volumes to your work ethic and character how much all these little details matter, which in your trade, they should!
    I absolutely look forward to seeing a V2 of this and how you're going to tackle things differently.

    For the gap under the flush baseboard, increase your shadow gap a bit and scribe the baseboard against the floor.

    The last house I did about 5 years ago we did a flush base with ringlet, and we lasered in. We put a strip of plywood and I think we put a metal flashing on it and set sheetrock into it, then level 5 walls with veneer plaster and scribet the base to leave a 1/4" space between on polished cement floors coated with Rydax. I think we notched the top of the base to give the shadow line.

    I am a real estate broker and agent for 35 years. I thought I knew it all but lost so much on needles things and things that had to be redone. So I feel your pain. I probably threw away $15,000 easily. I learned what not to do and there will be a next time. I was too ambitious and costs kept ticking up. Thanks for being honest and showing fails. I am sure in the end, the home will be beautiful. I think that door trim won't look like a mistake. It should look fine.

    I would have installed temporary spacers full length everywhere laser leveled but leaving a small 1/4 +/- gap below to allow for out of level variations at the finished floor. Then after removing these & adding your plastic reveal strips, each and every piece of base *must* be scribed to fit. Takes a lot longer to do, but high-end contemporary details require this level of attention.

    I know you are probably done in the garage but you should insulate the walls. It will make it much nicer in warmer or colder weather. Because maybe later down the road you might want to add a mini split. Also you could run cable on internet so you can add a tv and stereo

    As a high end carpenter. I would of told you day one you are going to have gaps at the bottom of trim on a polished concrete floor. those will never be perfectly level. Im not even at that part of the video. But I was wondering how you were gonna get away without shoemold without floors in. Then you answered my question. With the doors, he should of asked for your drywall finish so he could of dialed it in before fully installing the door. He should of also full finished corners with osb to help the drywall guys out, it also didnt help he didnt lazer line all temp trim around. He could of scribed to the floor if he didnt set it to high.

    Modern Contemporary homes with clean lines are the hardest to build.. You can't hide errors. It has to be perfect. Yes, you have to hire very skilled tradesmen that understand fine details. Your baseboard ledger should have been laser leveled and then scribe the baseboard to the concrete.

  • @maxmerchasin7365
    @maxmerchasin7365 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I think you approached the process incorrectly from the start.
    1. I would suggest on the next build to use a laser to achieve straight revel line
    2. If the floor is not levelled, you should have a professional finish carpenter to scribe the floor line into the baseboard.
    Your only mistake was using the plywood and not a simple laser based chock line as a reference for the drywallers.

    i love the flushless baseboards butg wehy is there the shadow reveal on everyones installs? just have them flush or add led lights. not adding lighting is a huge missed opportunity in all these installs ( not just yours) imo.

  • @kevinlondon8340
    @kevinlondon8340 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Next time flush mount the door on one side, by installing it even with the wall. and on the inside use the same trim gap as the baseboard.
    Or buy the wood and have the carpenter build you door jams you probably could have had him do it for a few hundred.

  • @porcusmisanthropicus5659
    @porcusmisanthropicus5659 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A decent finish carpenter could make the baseboard work with uneven floors. You'd just have to scribe the bottom of the baseboard to the floor. Pretty standard stuff, not that difficult and definitely cheaper than installing 8" baseboard over 6" :)

    • @albertilagan
      @albertilagan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @JB-ej2qy
    @JB-ej2qy 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    To start don’t use pocket doors. Level 5 is not a smooth surface. It’s just the opposite. You want a inconsistent surface so your eye can’t follow a straight line. Also use a J channel on drywall returns. You could have scribed the base board to the floor. It’s very time consuming. Just because something is trending and may look good doesn’t mean it’s better.

    BASEBOARDS - you should have purchased 1x8 and acribbed the base to the concrete and any experienced finish carpenter could have done that. Yes it would have cost you double plus because of the extra labor scribbing the base to the floor & This Old House did the treatment you wanted in their 2005 season where they did that modern no trim around the windows and doors and the inset base trim. They brought in a special Italian (yes from Italy) plaster contractor - that modern house back in 2005 in Boston area cost at the time over 5 million that's about 8.5 million today's money. If they still had their episodes on here I'd shoot you that link but they don't

    honestly, not a fan. Makes it look like low income housing or a psych ward. Ornate trim is what made homes look high class in years past. Look at castles and royal palaces in old European countries. Trim was a symbol of status and they went out of their way to make it look amazing, not try and make it unnoticeable.

  • @mylifeintexas
    @mylifeintexas 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Planning is key. Don’t remember if you said you ordered stock sized doors but you should’ve returned them to order the custom doors instead. Don’t know if you knew that most suppliers will take back stock especially if they are basic doors. That would have been my suggestion. Sure it would have set you back a bit but it’s your home not a customer’s home. As for the flooring, yeah since you used that ply material to protect your polished floors, I’m sure it screwed up the measurements. That and did the guy take the time to throw a laser level all around, did the Sheetrock crew understand the importance of keeping that bottom piece squared up? Looks and sounds like they just dropped it on the spacers and didn’t take the time to get it right. I would have and have done in the past hired a guy who would have cut the bottom of the drywall off to size off a laser level to get the straightest square possible for the best reveal. Like used 5” off cuts and then cut it square at 6.5” for the perfect 1/2 reveal all around.
    Live and learn. Good job btw. I know these storms have kept us busy for sure. 👍🏼

  • @gennaro
    @gennaro 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think you could have accomplished the baseboards correctly if you had:
    1. Cut the cardboard off the floor
    2. Laid out a full set of temporary baseboards resembling the EXACT shape (or the exact shape + the shadow space) of the ones you intended to put in. Not just partial boards every few feet. This would allow you to compensate everywhere that there are imperfections.
    I believe it would all allow the drywallers and finishers to complete their work and do their damage to the temporary boards, and then you could just swap them out with the permanent ones.
    In my head this works out -- but correct me if I'm wrong :)
    Also I'd personally go with metal door frames :D

      A builder is the correct name for what he is. To do what he is doing at least in my state, you have to get your “home builders license”. A “General Contractor” is the name for someone who does the same thing but commercial wise. People here get offended by calling builders, general contractors because there is a big difference. You are a laborer if you do all the physical labor. Theres a good in between if you do a lot of the finishes yourself but leave the framing and foundation to the cheap labor. No point in doing everything yourself when someone can do it faster and cheaper, and you dont lift a finger.
