How do people get away with this. My guess? Corruption!

Been there. Seen it. Tore it down.

The OSB is there probably because the engineer called for it on a that shear wall. Sorry but the house not racking is pretty important. Also, the engineer determines the amount of ventilation required. (FYI is still inclined to double check, the sq/ft is listed on the plans, permit, sales sheets, and probably on the inspection work order. No need for calculations) Oh and the engineer who designed the tub probably required the plywood for reinforcing that thin acrylic/fiberglass tub bottom on that elevated tub with a pre pitched support so it drains properly (hence the resin you see adhering it). The fabric tie offs are supposed to be cut and disposed of when the roofer is done because they will degrade over time and possibly be a liability for the homeowner in the future if anyone tied off to them. Bubbles? Okay There is nothing wrong with drywall that has been installed behind the tub. Probably there as a rigid air barrier against that wall that appears to be garage exterior wall. Notice it is behind the tub. Not on top of the tub. Whatever backer will be used will be installed on top of drywall sitting directly on the top of the tub. Not behind it like it is in the video. Good catch on the joist hangers though 👍

A gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds

Tom!!!! We miss you!!!

Hey I'm actually impressed they at least used metal post base brackets and joist hangers. Most hack jobs just toenail everything.

One gallon of water weights 8.33 pounds. You are welcome.

I've actually had to convince a "framer" that joist hangers aren't supposed to be installed this way. He had been doibg it like that "for years," he said, and he was taught that by a "real" framer. He also wanted to argue about the proper rough opening size for interior doors. He eas adding 1" to the called out door widths. Needless yo say, he didn't last long on that job. 😅😂

Great information Tom, thanks for posting.

When done properly, they look easy to do. I would be terrified

I think you've used the wrong terminology unless I misunderstand your role. You say you've "condemned" this deck. What is your authority to do such a thing?

2 year warranty? is this some kind of American joke that I'm too European to understand?

Just do some basic research. This is embarrassing.

at least its easy to fix

did you say just get bathroom fan and grab so paint and paint that area with new paint that it no tear out

it's unsafe but yet you walk up the stairs..lol DOH!

You see incompetence, carelessness, and code violations. I see ingenuity, stupid buyers, and a culture incapable of commercial accountability.

Oversized wire is in absolutely no way a hazard.

With all the info on how to build a deck on the internet, no excuse to build a piece of crap

How do people get this stupid?

Terrible stain job too

Funny , I helped a client after our deck was installed, they stated never install railings with top mount posts, The decking compay was pissed at me bur what every , This would be the results lol and yes in BC, canada

its sad yet funny how someone can walk on that thing and not realize in how much danger they really are in each time. get 3-4 people on that thing and you have a potential death on your hands.

Where is this?

I know that this is a relatively old video, and I’m an architectural designer for like 15 years now. I have never seen a combined shower and bathtub unit that is all one piece like that where the standup shower is from the tub yet all molded in the same form. That just blew my mind.

Thank you

#SMMFH!! 🙄

We’re can I get that moisture meter?

That handrail is a failure, you can't grab a flat board. The whole thing is a botch job from Hello.

Nobody like people hanging out on their deck for to long.

where are you getting your water? Last time I checked water weighs just over 8 pounds per gallon. Not 10 pounds.

Takes a brave man to walk up those stairs and stand on that deck, knowing they're both junk.

Boo hoo! 😨😨😨

I love it when plumbers come in and ruin the structural integrity of a house.

FYI: re: that exterior staircase, water can’t “whisk up” the stringers. That’s because water would “wick up” those stringers. JFC!

Sorry but our houses in Europa are castles if you compare to these houses. Looks like a kids build

The flashing needs a primer applied before the torch down as well.

Is the water entering the cinder blocks from the top roof flashing?

Building that close to the ground is ridiculous anyways

Fun fact: All inspectors are failed contractors that inherited their business from dad and drove it in the ground

Thats not diy, thats do it wrong. Imagine having to pay someone to tell you this deck is a joke

So OSB is great for exterior use, but not inside...? I mean... I wouldn't do it either, but...?

Maybe the Deck was built by a DIY PERSON WHO THOUGHT THEY KNEW HOW TO BUILD ONE.

Notched handrail posts not code either.

Also risers on the stairs cannot be open any more.

easy to tear down anyway. just knock that center post out and watch it fold like a house of cards. probably take the front of the house off too but it looks like a shithole anyway.
