2:00 in got my like based purely on your Why/How concept. Always been my motto

Hi John I live in Perth Australia, work for the local government as Compliance Officer, and just started an advance Diploma of Building Surveying. Your videos has given me an amazing understanding how building material designed to preform, and a great insight into the way the BC was written. I do understand the BC in Australia may differ, however much of the principle should be the same. I sincerely congratulate you on a very informative and much needed videos, watching your videos has quenched my thirst on the subject. Wishing you nothing but the very best from downunder, and God bless.

You are a natural John. Gonna link these videos to our chapter website.

This experience has been Very educational for me. Your video opened up my eyes. Thank You very much

Really good stuff,,,, thank you from Palo Alto Plan Check Division

I agree with you on the MASA straps… my house was built with these during the Bubble back in 2005-2006…walls were delivered pre framed that’s why they used them. I prefer 5/8” HDG A.B. or Epoxy set RTF. (Retro fit bolts)

awesome, i'm an owner/builder doing my own designs, and watching this is a lot easier than reading the code, great tips for home builders

Awesome presentation. Thank you. What's the best study guide to pass ICC exam for Building safety / Building Maintenance

Do building codes vary from state to state or is it all governed by a national or international body?

Its like using a super invincible padlock on a flimsy little latch.

It's gone all blurry, I can't make out the pictures or the writing. Can you do one up to date of 2018 and in focus? Thanks. I have never build a house before and I have to gut and rebuild my childhood home. I want to make sure I do it correctly. I will try to listen to as much of this topic as I can before I get started. My foundation is cinder blocks, no basement. I saw how one was done, I just need to find out if it is correct. I hate to spend time and get it all wrong. I didn't realize that every step they have to come out and check. It makes sense. I will get someone who has done it to help me to do the right stuff.

i still dont get it maybe im just not cut out for this

how old is this come on folks lets get these codes brought up to date.

I think architectural engineers must know the basics of the structure. The design is not sufficient unless you know the basic structure.
