wow i cant believe you tested the ABS system with air!!! YOU are nuts!! that stuff shatters under air pressure and becomes like razor sharp pieces when it explodes.. I am a plumber the work you did looks good if not better than most plumbers i see install waste lines but testing with air is a no no.. IT even says on the pipe itself its not rated for air.. You need to fill the system with water with a 10 foot stand pipe filled to the top for a head test. But like i said you did a good job on the install nice.
Inspectors here Don't like OWNER/BUILDERS but I think your work is solid. You went at it right, I always disarm the EGO by putting the Inspector in a Teaching Position. Most Inspectors if they have an audience need to show they are in Control. This Guy was Cool. Because it is different everywhere, I learned from this video Martin. Just another reason why I want to move there. Cool Inspector(state right). Thanks and Congrats. Well done.
Hi Martin, good job on the plumbing. Tip: spray paint the placement of the studs on the floor. They tend to disappear when you install the dry wall on your walls. M
Hi again guys please accept my apologies i thought you had piped your drainage incorrectly it seems what you call a clean out is what we call a rodding point in the uk and you have an 18" rise to the clean out but at the other side of the subfloor you have the soil pipe exiting at low level heading for the septic tank. A uk / us misunderstanding and as a diy'er i am impressed with your skills well done mate :)
Glad to see that you passed inspection . Inspection day can be nerve racking . Most inspections the inspector will always find a small fault but will pass you anyways . These are good guys . Smart in picking his brain and asking questions . Where are you going to put your hot water tank . Is it going to be propane ?
Good news about passing your inspection with minimal recommendations and perhaps even better news that your trusses are coming next week. Pex is nice to work with so you should breeze through that. Only problem with it in the crawlspace is potential for lines freezing. You'll need to account for that, either with insulating wraps or keeping the crawlspace above freezing. As ever looking forward to your next video. Thanks for bring us along on your journey.
My thought on PEX in wall or in crawlspace. Crawlspace will free and you'll have to Elect.Tape it. Inside walls won't freeze. I'm really excited that your trusses are finally arriving next week! I hope you've lined up friends to help out with them! Congrats on the approval!
Congrats on the passed inspection. Can you show a lot of how you are going to run your PEX. I'm about to run PEX through my house and could use some good video of how you decided to run it and connect it. Thanks :)
Curious what one of the roof trusses where the loft would be and compared to the normal trusses without the livable space above. I plan to build and use attic roof trusses.
I were wondering about the trace line as well. It was explained you didnt need it if you can get a snake down the pipe, but why do you need it elsewhere ? Congrats on passing the plumbing inspection, inspector seemed like a nice fellow..
Surprised you passed with a water line and septic line intersecting . Normally they have to enter the house on opposite ends or 25 ft separate at parallel going into house.
HOWdy JOHNSON's it appears that you may have replace a LOT of SHARP 90 Degree ELBOWS with more gradual "SWEEPS" in your 4" & 3" Waste PIPES than the last time I viewed your VIDEOS ? COOP ...
My inspectors wants me to put laundry san tee not higher than 6 “ this looks like higher and that point missing seafty plate looks like less then 1” Driwall nail may gets there I’m doing plumbing 19 years I see lots of inspections And I was surprise Venting not done completely and all the way to roof so he should come again to get test or what? Another air test? I wait until roof plywood done so I go to done my part one inspection rest you done all was good
+MrDarren5012 different states different rules I guess. He did say the poly couldn’t come into the house but trusted me to fix it. Which I did. You will see it in future videos.
4;07 count on video some inspector hands in pockets all the time looks like a rough guy i think yes you will pass .so lets see,6;09 approved congratulations,
Off grid means not connected to public utilities not no inspections. Sad I know. But that is they way it is. Check with the building department where you live or want to live.
Congrads on your Inspection! Be sure to do everything he suggested. He let you slide "assumimg" that you would correct any issues. He is a good man.

I’m glad he was cool.
It's always a good feeling when an Inspector says everything is ok.
Hi Martin, good job on the plumbing. Tip: spray paint the placement of the studs on the floor. They tend to disappear when you install the dry wall on your walls. M
Sage advice.
I like that idea!
Before you backfill around the outside of the foundation consider a perimeter footing drain system and a perimeter downspout collection drain system.
I think we are going to collect rainwater for household use.
Nice! Congratulations on the inspection pass! Our backfil was done just a few days ago. It makes such a HUGE difference!
Ours is done now too should be the next video. Our house looks a lot shorter now.
Congrats Pak Martin for passing the inspection 👍👍👏👏👏
At last some excellent news. Well done for withstanding all the delays and struggles. It should give you a lift to knock down the next set of issues.

Inspection and off-grid seem to be the antonym of each other
Sounds like it but it is a reality.
Nice work Martin. I am trying to learn how to plumb my 200 sq ft shed to cottage conversion. Wish me luck! LOL

The water tank will likely go in the laundry room.

Thanks. I’ve been 🤔 in the pex. Not 💯 % sure which way we will go yet.

Thank you. We should have plenty of people to help
So glad y'all made it thought he inspection with just a few things to tidy up... Congrats !
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Congrats on the passed inspection. Can you show a lot of how you are going to run your PEX. I'm about to run PEX through my house and could use some good video of how you decided to run it and connect it. Thanks :)
Yes. But I think the roof will have to come first. These tents are starting to get cold. 🥶
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving It's getting chilly here also. :)
Yahoo GREAT job all of you.
Selamat Pak Martin atas kelulusan inspeksinya...👍
WooHoo on inspection. Congrads. cant wait to see trusses going up.
Way to gooooooo Mr. Johnson so very proud of you!!!!
Thank you very much.
Curious what one of the roof trusses where the loft would be and compared to the normal trusses without the livable space above. I plan to build and use attic roof trusses.
Congrats on passing... HUGE STEP in your continued success....
Tank you. Can’t wait to get the roof on.
Congratulations....onward & upward!!!!

Thanks. I hope so.
Congrats..this shows your hard work..
what was that pressure guage for on the pipe?
@3:50 some inspectors will not climb ladders . They require stairs with a hand rail ! Congrats on the passed plumbing inspection.
Congratulations on the pass Another hurtle cleared. 😀
Amen.
Hi .. pak martin, kenapa tidak pasang atap dulu... sebelum pipa?
Great job!👍👍👍
Congrats on the pass. What is a tracer line for?
I were wondering about the trace line as well. It was explained you didnt need it if you can get a snake down the pipe, but why do you need it elsewhere ? Congrats on passing the plumbing inspection, inspector seemed like a nice fellow..
Yes sir and by the way I'm new here 😊 watching from the Bahamas

Wooohooo. Congrats Martin. I want to get those two construction books you have. Can I get them at Home Depot?
Surprised you passed with a water line and septic line intersecting . Normally they have to enter the house on opposite ends or 25 ft separate at parallel going into house.
nice job man
The inspector is coming today guys!
Mr. Martin Johnson, I am still concerning your well, does it work normally, if there is plenty of clear water?
Not yet. I’ll make an update video when thangs change.
Muito bom

" MANTAB FULL " sukses 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well done all the family one inspection out of the way, onwards to the next stage of your dream build ?
and the water well, what happened, I already drilled a new one.
Hi nice video thumbs-up from me thx for sharing
My state the plumbing would have failed due to the poly water main coming into house and also the laundry p trap with the bottom cleanout
+MrDarren5012 different states different rules I guess. He did say the poly couldn’t come into the house but trusted me to fix it. Which I did. You will see it in future videos.
Congratulations

How much did permits and inspection cost to date
We will give you an update in a few months with all the expenses to get the cabin dried in.
TOOLS : Just a Suggestion labels for tools location so everyone know where to put them
are you guys building a basement too?
No. Just a crawl space.
If it's off grid. why do you need an inspection?
Selamat malam pak martin 😁
👍
Seth and his sendal jepit.
Yes you will pass unless there a leak

You will definitely pass as long as there are no leaks. I would make a recommendation though to go with cpvc instead of pex.
Scott Johns No way. Cpvc is trash.
Class A pex is the ONLY way to go, it can freeze and not break whereas cpvc shatters! FYI, the ONLY Class A pex on the market is Wirsbo/Uponor.
T K ok I’m here in north Florida and the only people that use pex are water municipalities and mobile home manufacturers.
@@jiggjohns1028 At least you have 2 smart outfits using pex.
@@jiggjohns1028 You obviously have no knowledge of pex while i have been using it since the 60's.
😯👏👏👏👍👍👍👌👍
What's wrong with your left hand Mr. Johnson?
I scratched it.
Kamar tamu ? 🤔
Do you mean a bedroom for guests or what we call a living room where you meet guests and hang out.?
Looks like you'll pass.;
Thanks.
Your inspector should have failed you...
Your water line should not be under your sewer line this is a cross connection.
