I could live with that. For some reason the thing has the drain and the TP outlet in a vertical line. For me, it is the fact that the TP valve doesn't empty into a Smitty pan or outside the wall outdoors.
Wow you guys are the coolest team ever like I said before big huge fan you're the greatest you're the coolest I love what you do I watch you guys' videos all the time huge fan
comically that little signature of his name in the concrete and the fact he did it, may have upped that properties resale value. the fact that theres documented proof he was there overseeing the rehab of the garage would let people know that it will stand for decades to come.
Mike, I know you're in Canada but I really need help. I live in Ohio. Bought a house 2 years ago. It's an older house but since I moved in I've had multiple issues. Small septic tank that over fills with drainage water, flooded yard that smells like sewage, bedroom floor collapsed because the floor joists had rusted nails and no joist hangers. Floors are all wavy, toilet stack is cracked, no insulation in walls or ceiling, no ground wire on electrical plugs, old windows that leak water when it rains, shallow crawl space, no furnace only wall mount propane heaters. In the garage all the sill plates and studs are rotted out, garage is leaning, concrete is cracked and crumbly, old style ceramic fuses in garage, no ground plugs, ceiling is sagging, garage door has 2" cracks on both sides, too low to get my van into. I know I should have gotten an inspection but that was a condition of the cash only sale. I did take my dad and an Amish contractor to look at the place but they both agreed that it was a good investment. I bought what I could afford and now I'm living in a house that's crumbling. There has to be something you can do to help me. I'm not married, 54 yrs old and disabled. no kids except my 2 GSDs. They love the fenced in half acre but the yard is so muddy right now that when they come inside they are caked with mud. The mud creates dust and I breathe it in. Since it smells like sewage I don't know what I'm breathing in. I have to wear a CPAP at night and I have to change the filter once every 2-3 days. Please Mike, I need help and don't know where to turn. Some have suggested tearing the house down and starting over but I don't have any money to do that.
Wow, this poor guy fighting for five years to get his garage built. Yet he pulled all of the permits that were supposed to make it all legal and yet the government kept stopping the job. Glad the mayor finally said, enough! We all know Mike Holmes and the crew would build it properly with the best materials. If only the world had more contractors with the ethics of Mike Holmes to make it right.
Seems to me like he wanted to build a separate dwelling but tried to slip it in under the guise of a "garage". How many garages have kitchens in them? I'm willing to bet this is the root of the problem. I doubt anyone cares if he dry walled the interior, but if the by-laws have guidelines surrounding that and you ask someone from the govt they are never going to tell you to ignore the guidelines. Plenty of technical infractions are tolerated because they are harmless. If you ask a cop if your tyres are too bald and he sees they are bald would you expect him to ignore that? Guy tried a bit hard to play the victim.
I had a 30x40 four bay garage built (three in front and one on the side). When it came to get the electrical inspected the new building inspector stopped the permit. He didn't inspect it doncha know! Guy knew nothing about post frame buildings. We went back and forth in email for two weeks then I finally called him and asked him to actually come and inspect the effing building. He did and was instantly satisfied. What this guy here went through is criminal. He should have sued the town/city.
No that concrete siding can be a do it yourself, we did it when we resided our garage. Dang heavy stuff, wore us all out. But I didn't have to fix dinner and holds up well during a hurricane. We removed the cedar siding, which had held up pretty good.
Seem like he was trying to build a separate dwelling rather than a garage, but wanted to bypass the regs for that by calling it a garage, which is why he really had problems. At the end there it looked like a separate house.
Ok. I'm only saying this dear Stella because your a Mike Holmes fan as I am, Well maybe in another way for you other then I because I'm looking more at Pinky then Mike or the others of his crew, LOL! but because your also a believer in making it right you must start pointing your camera in the right way and getting the entire show with in the frame other then cutting off the 4 corners of the said show. Other then that thx for posting Mikes show. I respect Mike and his lead staff whom all insist on a job done right. Thanks again!
16:11. Not perfect, or even close, in MHO. What those guys did is lay a base coat and nail it down. Mistake #1, puncturing the membrane. Mistake #2, the right way to do it is to Soprema tar the plywood, and torch the base layer down. If a tornado rolled through, one loose edge or corner and the whole thing is gone. Mistake #3 3 layers is just not done on a residential garage. 2 layers is basically impenetrable, and you're still getting the same 30 years out of it. 23:28 No you don't, you need to splurge the $100 for a set of PacTool International SA903 2-Piece Gecko Gauge Hardi Board Siding Gauges. You level your first row, clip these on, and they hold all the following rows in place. 24:14 How is that better than the standard laser? It just means you now have to keep track of an accessory.
It really appears to me that the councilman was in somebody's back pocket or on their payroll. Just too much interference and refusing to do what he was elected to do....represent the people!
I'm sure he has far more pressing things then someones drywall in the garage. His position was probably that the city has rules and everyone has to follow them, no exemptions for someone with too much money trying to build a dwelling but calling it a garage.
It's a tactic to defeat the RU-vid bots. Just go to the gear icon in the corner of the screen and change Playback speed from "normal" to 75%. Then it will look and sound normal
That's Shawn Morren, original assistant and right hand man. He gradually trained Damon Bennett over the course of many seasons, and when he left after season 5, Damon stepped up.
