    More detail on test conditions would be lovely.

    Notice that the front door's failure at 0:08 caused the entire house to fail less than 5 seconds later. Could you guys do another test on the standard construction but this time with impact doors and windows to see how much wind the frame itself can withstand?

    This shows very realistically what happens during a hurricane. Cheap construction will not stand up to a major storm. I've worked at least 5 hurricanes.

    Yea, that's pretty convincing. What is the price difference though?

    Bias..the first house was built without the same standards of house 2. In addition the house1 had more direct wind pressure force than house2

    Try putting in nails. Correctly.

      Right I was thinking the same thing. This video could be from the 1800s , narrated in that old timey voice .. "the house on the right was built with a new product called metal Nails", while the house on the right was built with strings.

      The house on the right was built with Simpson strong ties and the one on the left used conventional nails. Nails suck, they pull loose in storms.
