    Very kind and generous of you to share your experience, with video examples of them. Please continue with the great job.
  • Love your videos, I’ve had the opportunity to train many new inspectors in the last couple of years and now I always direct them to your videos as they are really informative and chalk full of real world examples in a short easy to digest manner. Keep up the great work it very appreciated!!!!

    Nicely done with the video! Great coverage on key elements to make darn sure are done correctly and to code. Keep up the good fight man! Cheers from the PNW!

    Enjoy a lot of the info you are able to provide. I'm currently working on getting my inspectors license and I really like seeing common things that other inspectors come across.

    Seeing those nice pretty, finished stairs that now have to be ripped out completely and redone makes me feel bad for the homeowner.

    As someone who is 6'4", I really appreciate the staircase headroom code. Nailed my head many times on those. 6'4" is really the tallest "average" person you will run into regularly. There's plenty far taller than me but you don't run into them often. I feel for those people!

    Great video! Learning you don’t have 6’8” clearance on final inspection is brutal. lol

    I have a question about basement with garage door using 2018 IRC. We just found out that if we put garage door in basement the ceiling would have to be drywalled. We don't want to do that, so could we just wall off a 12x20 area for the garage and leave the rest unfinished? Would the ceilings and walls both have to have fire rated drywall? 5/8" drywall? Does anything else special need to be done there?

    Very good video. I like the way that you show whats wrong. If you use framing language you might want to point out exactly what you are talking about such as the bolts and straps in the end plate.

    You ever check for notches in floor joists that plumbers make for running DWV?
