Lol. I do concrete and I laughed at your reaction to finding a crack in the slab 😂
Drama Ma'am for sure
🤣 foreal
🤣🤣🤣
Drama Queen!
Yea WTH was that reaction haha my man acting like he can see the earths core through that crack
My uncle told me this joke about concrete there is some truth to it
There are three guarantee with concrete
1: it won't catch fire
2: no one will steal it
3: it will crack
😂😂
Absolutely and if it hasn’t dropped or spread apart it’s fine just epoxy the crack and continue.
Over 55 years of building and remodeling I’ve seen it all.
Amen concrete will always crack you just never know when and never nowhere
Use that saying allll the time 😂
🤣😂🤣 this is funny, especially considering I’m South African and we only ever build our houses with concrete. Cry with me 🤣😂😭😭
@@danbailey96 sure you and your 55 years of roblox experience
There’s two types of concrete.... Cracked. And waiting to crack
Why? Eventually do they all crack but is it one of those scenarios where it might be a year maybe a hundred years
Roman
😂yep
Literally exactly what any concrete company will tell you 👌
what if you pour epoxy on top? Will it crack along with it?
Damn man those cracks are not saveable. Your house will fall any minute. Might as well sell it to me for cheap.
Lmao
Lol
I will give them a dollar more then any offer you give them.. 😂😂
My first house I freaked out over these cracks, too. Eventually I realized almost every slab has something like this going on and it eventually stops and doesn’t mean a thing :)
Literally just searched your channel to see if a new video dropped, saw nothing, then this showed up on my feed a second later
Oh I’m already in love with this transformation!!! Can’t wait to see the process this project!
YES!!! New House. "DEMO DAYS" from the ground up!!! This house is going to be so rad!
Everyone in the south: "Umm... is the foundation not supposed to look like that?..."
Lmaooo you ain’t lying I do foundation repair here in Texas and it just looks so normal to me now
@@miguelalonso3481 I've owned 2 houses in DFW TX. 1st wasn't too bad. Our current has a 3.5in difference from one side to the other. House is still standing, we good lol
Can confirm
Glad I live up North where we actually have basements. Crack in a basement floor doesn't matter as much as a house with only a slab.
My heart stopped when you found that crack. I'm so HAPPY it was ok. Great job so far!
All houses eventually get cracks as they settle. Just depends on where and how much is when to worry.
what if they pour epoxy on top? will it break too?
@@eveliinatistelgren172 I’m assuming like an epoxy coating/paint? Yes, still will have some cracks. It’s just a coating.
When talking about the load-bearing pillar check I thought he was going to say "If you start cutting with your recip-saw here and your house falls down then you know that it's load bearing" 😂 Great work, I love your videos and style so keep it up!
That is one way to know. Of course, you house may not fall down right away. It could actually take weeks, months or even years if you remove a load bearing wall.
You guys teamwork is heaven...
@mr. build it if you ever look at fixing that crack problem I don’t recommend using push piles to level your house because in a couple of years the ground under the piles will move and you’ll just be in the same place. I would recommend using helical piles because you typically drive them to solid ground/rock and that will hold longer
Great beginning, looking forward to following along with your remodel / repair!
so excited to see how the house is going to be reno'd 💗💗💗💗
Ugh I'm living for that entry way before and after. Way to go.
You and Reality Renovision / Home Renovision DIY should collab on the house you are working on. He does the same thing and would benefit both channels.
This project is so exciting.
2:44 Using the drywall scraper as a backing for the prybar is an excellent tip.
3 guarantees in life. Death, taxes and concrete will crack! Doesn't look serious. Pumped for the build!
I don't know how but I've only just found your channel and I absolutely love it! Keep up the incredible work!
Damn that's a dream tile demo job! I wish all the tiles I removed came out like that!
Brother, I feel your pain. I’m a retired Navy Officer, and retired federal Law Enforcement. When dealing with stressful situations, I tend to meet it head on, working to keep my head while others around me go bonkers. But recently, my basement walls and deck, in my 12 year old home in western Massachusetts, is showing some cracking. Yikes. I’m still maintaining my cool, but I have to admit, it is freaking me out a bit! Bravo-Zulu, brother….a great, value-added video.
someone installed tiles on my sister's house and last year during an earthquake they all started popping out lol
the tiles in my kitchen just started making popping noises one day and they all came loose that night. IDK what made them do it. But... after 2 weeks of them making hollow sounds when I walked on them they settled and look just like they used to, except with dome grout missing in some places. At least I know it will be easy to remove them once that day comes lol :D
@@MissySimpleM that can happen when the foundation wasn’t leveled before installing the tiles
Just a tip for your viewers: if removing tile that is on properly and hard to get off with a chisel, you can heat them up a lot with a propane torch (be careful) and they come off easier
Also, cracks in the slab are normal, like you said. Your slab should have tension wires running through it to keep it together. Not all builders do that but most do
Love it! This is going to be an awesome series.
Lol I love your videos, I’m a flooring installer for years now ... those cracks are some clickbait 😂😂
i thought the same thing! but hey he needs traffic to his videos right? the youtube money and sponsors are paying for his demolition and remodel of his new house.
Alex is on another Level now!!! Congrats on your success!!!
He blew up this last year
Making hard work look easy ! Keep up the great videos wish you best.
Brother!! Love your work and the beats you use are on point!!! Keep doing what you do!! Much love! Cheers!
Closing an another house for my 2nd reno in 2 weeks. Looking forward to more progress
Man... cracks in a slap are 100% normal and nothing to freak out about! Hahaha
What if it rise up a little bit after crack ?
Please dont become like this HGTV manufactured drama bs. Not what I come here for.
Lol. I thought the same thing when he started freaking out over the cracks.
The only difference is at the time it was a legit concern of his because he didnt know it was normal. He did his research and calmed down.
@@pred7six7 he not that good of an actor, you can tell he was acting.
The real question is, will he love it or will he list it?
@@jadem187111 hahaha
Cant wait for the next episode!!!
Keep it up. More vids as you go. Thanks
Glad to see someone working on his own for so long but when someone else comes with an Idea he doesn’t steal his shine
That's the only good thing I saw from this guy
Love your videos man, really really helpful learning experience
Always love your content. It’s just awesome!:)
This was interesting! Super informative
TIP: you could have bought 1 or 2 cheap square plastic fans and placed it on a window{s} as an exhaust. That would have taking care of all that dust in the air and help not allowing it to settle back onto the floor again. About the cracks, 90 percent of homes have them in South Florida they all have them due to the sandy soil. In Texas is also a sure thing due to soil composition and settlement. The Earth is in constant movement and rain water does not help either. We just don't want those cracks to AFFECT the integrity of walls once that crack line runs up your walls on brick/Stucco/Cinder-block depending if its a hairline it can be costly to repair.
30 seconds in and I'm super anxious.. anyone else...
Nope. Just me.... great....
Hope everything goes well the rest of the way thru the new house!!
Great 👍 work gentlemen
Bought a second floor condo and im seeing this in my 3rd bedroom on redoing my floor in Florida, oh boy
you guys got super lucky with that tile demo
Seriously enjoying the content mate, looking forward to the next few videos 😂 I WAS enjoying 24 now I’m waiting for your friggan updates like a Game of Thrones FanBoy 🤘keep em coming dude.
Great job Alex. WIsh I saw the carpet trick a week ago.
Concrete cracks :P
Would be every house in certain parts of the country with nice clay soils.
Its funny seeing people say they were so worried when he saw the crack, not knowing their concrete looks the same lol
Subscribed‼️ Alot of useful information. Thanks, looking forward to this rehab💪🏾
Love it! ✨✨✨
Things are getting exciting! Not only did you kill it on a sweet demo, but my Courage & Sweat T-shirt came in the mail! My wife opened it and was impressed with the cool design. Thanks Mr. Build It👍👍👍
LOL! Tyler needs his own show. 🤣
Do you mind telling me where you rented the thinset removal machine? I’ve been trying to find a rental place with the kind that you can hook a vacuum up to!! Thanks
wow that floating tile system is impressive lol
Kick ass man!
Let Ariat know you're doing an excellent job in those jeans! lol
Why not pull baseboards, then paint, then do floors? If you are replacing all the flooring you save time and don't have to protect the floors? At least that's always what I've been told and have done.
Was thinking the same thing. No need for prep time and materials.
Definitely agree. Saves a lot of time and material.
Its a huge nuisance getting the floors perfectly under the baseboards and you end up having to cut them and they get damaged in the process.
@@meowk5812 remove the baseboards is step 1. paint everything, remove old floor, install new floor, install new baseboard. No damage to anything.
@@rmedoc24a gotcha, I thought you meant install the new baseboards and paint it before flooring.
Amazing construction moments here wowoww 👏👏👏😂😂
When tackstrip is attached to concrete the easiest way to get it up is to use a pry bar exactly where the nail is and hold a little downward pressure
Love the intro!
Woop woop! Love stuff brotha!!!
hi from Romania !!!!!
Had the same issue with my house, turned out, it was the electrical wiring running in conduit in the slab, you could clearly see it run from the one outlet to the next.
my man is knocking those pillars like FBI's going through someone's home holy moly.
Even with the cracked foundation, that's still a nicer fixer upper then the one I got. Honestly, it's didn't even look like a fixer upper to me 😆
He acts like this is a real problem lol
There are houses with crumbling foundations, so not unheard of... Some states like Massachusetts had over 2000 homes with crumbling foundations and it cost hundreds of millions to fix. So it's not something you want to find as the usual fix is to remove the house and redo the foundation, add the house can't always be salvaged so can need to be rebuilt too...
Telling the difference isn't something most people who never dealt with concrete would know but he lucked out and it wasn't a problem...
hahahah
I think it was clickbait
Finally some concrete
Great video.
This is awesome
Florida home owner here. Concrete slabs always crack here. We build on sand so settlement is common. 2850 plus garage single story. We have a few running down the middle of the house. No different then a stucco crack
Hey Alex what made you go from all of your Dewalt tools to all of the ryobi ones?
The quick cut handle technique is key
you sir are truly an amazing person. would love to work with you.
Thought this was a soap opera opening...... little dramatic bud. 😂😂
Great vid as always 👍🏽🇺🇸
Love the content
In the UK we don't put it onto concrete, we have the foundation of concrete yes but we have wooden boards hiding insulation, then the foam stuff and then carpet.
Check out Leggari's patcher paste. I used it to repair some cracks in my garage slab. It is bulletproof!!
This is epic
Here in central California almost all houses are on a slab. It doesn’t freeze so it’s not a problem. All your cracks seem fine you can throw a level across it just to make sure. I had to use some self leveler on mine before we installed laminate flooring because it wasn’t level in one large spot and I’m not worried about it.
CenCal role call! Haha
Nice home! What did you repair the cracks with?
Hey Mr. Panic, those are normal cracks. The kind you don't want are off set cracks, where one side is higher than the other or if one is much wider than its other end. Just seal up the cracks and move on with your day.
Here I am in Florida and all I see cracked concrete slabs in every garage and house when the flooring is removed lol
Hey where did you rent that mastic remover thingy? The people that built my house did the same thing and need to do my kitchen floors!
Would that helical head tool thing be safe on subfloor or a little too aggressive?
You are best Bro
Do you have any suggestions about patching drywall? We just moved into our new house and our drywall is super thin (I guess it is 🤦♀️) because it scratches easily. We already have gouges from our dressers and furniture. We also have a big hole in my son's wall since the previous owners never installed a door stop and the door got opened all the way and the knob went through the drywall 🤦♀️. So easy diy drywall repair?
There are tons of videos on CZcams on how to repair drywall. But I have found the best way to “strengthen” a door hole like that is to put a 1x2 block behind the hole, secure it on either side, and patch or mud over the hole. It’ll add a little rigidity to the wall behind the doorknob so that won’t happen again. In our last house the drywall was 1/4” thick, throughout the entire house. 🤦♂️ but I guess it was a way to save on building costs.
@mr. build it Hi, i wanted to ask, that did you guys sell your old house or kept it
Hi from Taiwan 🇹🇼
Would u do a video on ur tattoos as to what you they are or mean and how you keep them looking fresh? Or what you do to make them pop
Those cracks are not bad I’ve seen new houses get poured in Wilmington nc with cracks and it has to be wider than half a inch to be a issue
Bro this is a nice house why you re doing everything 😂 I do concrete coatings and I laughed as well
10:31 that has got to be the easiest tile demo I’ve ever seen. Bad install = easy demo👍🏻
What pants and shoes are you wearing in episodes 2 and 1? THANK YOU :D
Where did you rent the concrete sander and how did it do?
Where did you rent the thin set grinding thing with the vacuum?
Divorcing and selling house, chilling with IPA and bourbon grateful that my wife and I are not hating and even better tonight is SELLERS market I am getting much more than it's worth. Why did I post that? because it was cool watching this and by the way the ending when u rented a floor buffer (sarcastic) was great looked great too good work fellas!
Just glue down some crack prevention membrane.. so if floor moves crack don’t go to your tiles... Depends on manufacturer I believe it’s up to 3/8 to 1/2 inch of concrete movement
I thought his reaction to the cracks was fake at first lol I was like what? I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a crack! Lol
CLICKBAIT CRACKS LOL, All concrete cracks, slabs don't have control joints.
Definitely clickbait. Just like on the HGTV shows they always find a huge problem that could ruin the project. Just "reality" tv bull. I hope this isn't a sign of what the channel will become.
@@MarcDS985 Go back to his original videos and see whats different then and now. Sadly everyone has to make $$ some how and now every video he trying to sell you pants.
Where is the clickbait? The foundation is indeed cracked.
@@BernardAguiar Think people forget he's a DIY'er and not a professional tradesman. There are foundations where you find cracks it can indicate serious problems, including a foundation that is crumbling and can make the whole house a total loss, but the average person who has never worked with concrete isn't going to be able to tell the difference. Assuming the worse is actually a normal reaction for most people... and he did Google and get pros to tell him the difference rather than just assuming his initial reaction was correct. So problem solved and he won't make that mistake again...
