You should think about getting several industrial size fans and run them in your house to make sure that all the water from the rain has been dealt with before you start closing in your walls and floors. If there is still some damp in the walls or floorboards, it could lead to serious mould problems down the line.

I’m a 36year owner of a Contracting Business… came across this video quite by accident but I feel the need to give you a helpful perspective…. DO NOT SHEET THAT ROOF UNTIL ALL LAYERS AND TRUSSES/GABLES HAVE COMPLETELY DRIED… mold and mildew spores will be trapped in all layers if you cap it with metal to soon. Large project and possibly the most important, your roof, to be RU-vid guided. Hope all works out

@sueschoers4974 Год назад

Max, New South Wales has a duty of disclosure for sellers of property. They must disclose that the building has asbestos upon selling. I would pursue recourse with both the seller & building inspector. The cost of rectifying should not be at your expense.

@jessngo2634 Год назад

Hi Max! Great video- showed my tradie husband and he has a few concerns about your roof. Here are his thoughts- when the foam deteriorates the wind is going to blow the rain straight up over the sheets. also that 90 degree lip on either side of the ridge capping is meant to stay at that angle instead of what you’ve done which is bend them out and bolt them straight into the roof. this is possible when you cut the corrugated profile into the lip so the capping will sit flush on top of the roofing and you’ll then be able to bolt it from the top. the capping also looks a little skimpy on the width. after seeing your downpour, would have doubled the width of the wings. your existing one looks about 200mm on either side. would go about 400mm on either side. also, the bolts seal the capping but because you’ve bolted so close to the edge, there’s nothing sealing the bolt hole on the roof sheeting. a little wind and rain would cause a slow leak

@le_th_ Год назад

Those are TRUE FRIENDS who are helping you put your roof on. Be sure to reciprocate when they need help. These are the kind of people you want to keep in your life as long as possible because they're there for you when you need them, which means they are true friends. Even Occy eventually recognized that Max was helping his daddy fix his new dog house so it wouldn't leak anymore. Wishing you smooth sailing from here on out. Safe travels~

@queens6583 Год назад

What a great community of friends you have Max. All of you are a wonderful collection of people. The roof looks so fresh and clean and my back was definitely aching for you. The previous owner may have been a nice, but he had to know some of the problems because he just covered some of them up. Maybe he didn't have the funds to address the issues or he just was lazy, but the price of the home should have reflected the cost of fixing the problems. In the end, he's not your friend and selling the house to you was a business transaction and the inspector should have told you about these issues.

@le_th_ Год назад

I've had to *really* hold back from stating exactly what you said. The previous own didn't give him a good deal... He did not "see [himself] in Max, as he claimed...he saw an opportunity. Nice guys are the people you need to avoid like the plague because their charm can cover up the fact that they have no conscience...and no moral compass. The previous homeowner was either predatory or opportunistic...and neither is good. The malfeasance of the inspector is just...actually, I have no words for this level of incompetency. If he is licensed, the board that oversees that licensing needs to review his competency. I hate to seem negative, but the facts of this situation need to be brought to the attention of others so that others don't fall prey to these conscienceless individuals. It's infuriating to know so many scam artists walk amongst us.

@MirneDerks Год назад

it was not the previous owner's responsibility to tell the new owner what the problems of the property were/are. he just wanted to sell the property. it is the new owner's responsibility to ensure that he takes all the necessary steps to see what the condition of the property is in. Max did that - he employed a professional inspector. The professional inspector failed in his job. The termite damage should be have been noted, as well as the asbestos. Max should contact the inspector and sue for negligence and damages. That the inspector is a "nice guy" is irrelevant - Max is seriously out of pocket because of him. Worse even, this useless inspector could be causing this negligence elsewhere!

@MagiMayet Год назад

@@MirneDerks I agree .. it's the inspector that it all falls on

Have you thought about having a dehumidifier running to dry out the house. Northern rivers is notorious for mould and with all that water, I’d highly suggest taking care of your hard work and health with running the dehumidifiers.

Did you have a "survey" or an "inspection?" I believe a "survey" is for property lines & structure measurements. "Inspection is for structure conditions; electrical, plumbing, termites, foundation, roof, walls, asbestos etc. Don't know for fact, & differs from country to country.

@tj8114 Год назад

I am not sure if it works in Oz the way it does in the US, but here, full disclosure of all hazardous materials, flaws etc. are required by law. If the previous owner doesn’t do full disclosure, and/or the home inspector missed huge problems, you are legally entitled to compensation from both. It would help offset your costs considerably. Good luck. I, myself once purchased a money pit, and as a female, it was twice as bad. Luckily, you have friends and family to help you. You and Occy have each other, and he is such a calming, peaceful soul. Bless you all. Best wishes.
