Spary it with bleach ...come on dont be silly

Your framers are idiots. You deserve it, bud. You hired them. That’s a conversation that starts before.

Correct me if I’m stupid but couldn’t you just tie into the slab there and pour to the frame?

I’m just a dumb electrician, but at some point doesn’t someone say- “hey come take a look at this”… as they do it and it’s not matching up?

So what is the fix for the space under the driveway?

Mold doesn’t die, so whoever told Clown Man that is full of it, the spores last for a long, long, LONG time, and you have to use a mold prohibitor after you treat what you can see with bleach or something.

You need to change all those pipes hack

The glue board is the biggest mistake i see,2x3 junk wont last 50 years,not without major upkeep,one flood or mild hurricane or tornado and the thing will fall down,USA home of huge garbage pos overpriced speedy Gonzalez built homes

Every house has mold new and old. There is no escaping it. And it’s not that big of a deal

Framers ... 😂😂

Those base studs are going to rot out anyway

Cmon it’s from the framers. If the wall isn’t plum it will need face nails.

😂😂 framers did their job…your issue is with the concrete contractor.

It was probably a mudholeout there and you want to be picky about the mud . Really bro?

Buy treated and kiln dried timber.

That's what they make a sledge hammers for. Just Hammer the shit out of it back in place. Nothing to it😂😂😂

So everyone saying the framers did this without letting the general contractor know? So you all think the contractor in charge hasn’t been by in a couple weeks and doesn’t already know about this? Do you think there hasn’t already been calls between the builder and the concrete company? I’d bet a good lunch at a reasonable restaurant that the inspector is the only person seeing this for the first time.

The builder messed up for not pulling a tape and checking before the pour lol.

Where’s the general contractor, project manager…this can be avoided…oversight is the key to great project and bs like that does not have to occur….it doesn’t on my projects!

Unless you saw and documented that mold as it came off the truss manufacturer’s truck or very shortly after (within a day or so), the mold developed on your site and it’s your responsibility. Mix up 50/50 bleach and water into an insecticide pump sprayer and spray it down; the mold will disappear. Allow it to dry and proceed with the build.

They expand

Cantilevered Base Plates? Not sure if that is code compliant. 😂. Somebody is going to be losing a LOT of money.

Only out by an inch and a half😂

Douglas fir has mold spores in it naturally. It's just what is. Always treat it even if you don't see any mold.

I’m gonna let you know… concrete finishers don’t really do form works… this is part of the framing work and the layout guy came a little short with their measurement… it’s only bearing mistake for the outside load bearing wall but an easy fix… don’t cause problems with your eyes… use them to find solutions… better working environment…😂😂❤!!

If I had a dollar for every time I work on a house without wood like this, I would need to get a third job.

That's what you get with cheaper worker

That's what happens when you use engineers and blueprints.

Both would be sued. One for laying the wrong sized foundation and the carpenters for being stupid enough to build on top of it knowing damn well it wasn’t right

The problem is accountability if you don't do a good job you don't get paid you contracted the framing then you have to pay your guys whether they do the job right or not I don't have to pay you you come on to my project and do some bullshit like that we're going to fight you understand

Spray w bleach 3x a day for 3 days...dead and gone

Where is this. Seems like a rainy location.

Every hardy siding ive ever seen have been caulked on every nail hole and seam, and its still looking good 20yrs later. Theres no excuse for the foot prints on the walls, how did they even walk around up there?!

Id spray id with mold killer before sealing it up but im not a professional builder so i also make sure walls are straight and level and things are done the right way versus the "professional builder" way where it just gets built however

States without union labor or strict building regulations.

😂 the MADE IN USA is getting embarrassing and this are multi million dollar contractors and companies WOW.

You have to face nail the joints. The hardie will move. And it doesn't always stay flat at the joints.

Who the fuck kept framing the entire house?

I like how he tells us how to get rid of the mold ...😂😂

Guessing the framers and the foundation crew don't get along you have to call the gc before you frame this while thing I would.blow my stack if I was gc on this. Wouldn't if someone would have called first

All the studs are crowned out the walls are nowhere straight the stuff doesn't lay flat you gotta surface name it or you gotta home everywhere

Spray with detergent Nd bleach rhen power wash and let dry is all you can do after install.

Try harder next time

They poured the footers too small. The framers made the house to the dimensions on the blueprints. It happens a lot. Concrete guys are underpaid and always in a hurry, doing spotty work.

Those nails are because the hardy was stored improperly for more time than allowed in wet environment not stacked properly... causing an actual warp in the plank. This is why it is all muddy. The only way to make it install flat is the extra nails.

Looks good to me.. we gotta get to next garage.

How would you resolve this?

Mistakes layered on mistakes. Everyone messed up. But I promise this phone call happened: the GC called framer and said the foundation is ready to frame on. The framers showed up and framed. Even though they shouldn’t have. Waiting a week or two to start a housecould be a cost in the tens of thousands of dollars if they don’t have another job lined up immediately.

Even those likely in this scenario that the concrete guys messed up. The framers messed up big time. Honestly, the GC should’ve caught this after the foundation was done, but they check stuff like that. If the framers show up to a house with six guys and they can’t start on that day, I schedule talking about a loss potentially a couple thousand dollars for the framing crew if they have to go home and wait a few days

As a framer, I’ll start by blaming the concrete guys. They probably got it wrong. The framers made a really poor decision though should not have framed it the way they did. Simple solution is probably just to shrink the house. Yes it is possible as long as all the lines are straight.
