Dissed by The Building Inspector! #fail

good morning evening afternoon you guys well it's the start of a brand new day and the start of a brand new job and we're already not quite off to the start we want because we're dumping dirt in the street and that needs to be up and into the yard we're not the city we're working in we're not allowed to technically dump dirt in the street so first thing we got to do is get a broom and get that street cleaned up but let's go see what we've got going on this one is a bit of a doozy we're gonna be demoing a swimming pool but this is tough working conditions this is our opening right here and he's alex is starting it and i'll be taking this one over [Music] so he's crawling down right now into the bottom of that swimming pool and getting the materials out of the bottom now if those can if the conditions were any worse he could have had a hard time getting back up that's a gun night bottom [Applause] so here's the way we do these swimming pools we remove everything except except for the material in the bottom which then gets broken into a powder let me actually show you what that material is like this is the material that's in the bottom it just crumples if it was dry this would turn into a powder so we go through we remove the side walls we remove the vinyl liner we remove the two toads in the bottom three four five six toads in the bottom [Music] hey throw me up them toads will ya [Music] hey one more hey two more right here too i think that's all of them so we'll be putting everything up here and then filling in the bottom and then doing the rest of the removals because we need a safe work zone the beak comes in amazingly handy we also made our own version of this called the monkey claw it's a much heavier duty version of this and it's more for massive demolition the beak which is uh not not saying it's light duty by any means it's just kind of like perfectly balanced for a skid loader and nice for a job like this i was just telling these guys about the monkey claw that's really for heavy heavy duty stuff the monkey claw's pretty heavy too so yeah when you get a lot of concrete on there you can't carry as much as this one can to dump it into the dump truck right but boy that thing is built to built to smash plywood oh it's a plywood uh backed swimming pool you know what they call that oh my god hey do you know what they call a plywood back swimming pool i don't know not crap oh this is our customer bill they call a plywood back swimming pool a buster crab swimming pool that's the that's the official name of it a buster crab swimming pool i didn't know that but some some old timer he was he was a olympic swimming pool champion he was telling me about all the different swimming pools buster crap that was the original version of it buster crab [Music] um okay what's the deal with the inspections i'm just waiting to hear back from you now so wait a minute we gotta have two inspections clear this up for me so there's two separate permits holders one for the natural resources and there's one for the building permit one for the silt fence yeah essentially the silk fence and like erosion control and silt socks up in the front i'm sure they're probably going to want to see a sewer outlet protection you know right there okay so i i'm trying to get a hold of the guy but no one answers their printed phone so i got two voicemails left to him but i just want to know if i got to get that offensive before he comes out here or what you know okay so then the other inspection is for the actual pool itself you you best let him know we got to do it this way because we don't have the space to do it any other way the actual building inspector yeah i got a voicemail into both of them okay well they'll let you know by tomorrow but we're that's why we'll film so if we have to we'll just show them this video to prove how we did it and what we're doing oh hey i got i got a line on a guy bringing in uh dirt for us for free and when i went to home depot there were these guys that they had a monster load of tin on their truck i would have never sent anybody down the road like that but it was all metal oh crap we got no metal in here right just a little bit i swear that stuff i pulled off first was 10. yeah but this is a buster crab right here yeah it is right there yeah so yeah we we can i can call these guys and they'll take all the 10. that's all they do is 10. they're scrappers but i got their number if you get a load of scrap you don't have to put it on johnny but are you going to save that to the end most likely that's usually how we do it yeah we'll just save it to the end and then we'll throw it on the throw it on them guys or throw it on john one way or another that's not what i put in here's what i put in is nice and firm still soil i got you're gonna bridge just fine you're gonna bridge just fine that little bit of something we put a house on on a spot where the middle was like jello like legit jello and i called the engineer out i called a different engineer because i didn't like the first engineer's opinion because he's like no it's fine and i'm like that in my my opinion that can't be okay i call the second engineer out he came out and he's like yeah what's the problem like it's doing it's doing this but it was it was non-organic and the footings weren't on it and i learned i learned a pretty good lesson about bridging and soil composition and that's where i think you're going to be [Music] i question everything especially from engineers and architects and people that have very specific skill sets that i can then borrow that knowledge from on potential future projects the this house that we put over this questionable soils is still there today and still has zero issues and one of the things i learned was about something and pumping when you're in less than favorable conditions but still using optimum soils let me kind of break this down having a little bit of deflection in that soil as long as it's a non-organic material can sometimes with caution and understanding be an okay thing but you can mess that soil up if you over compact what happens is you'll get water down below and then if you're using a vibratory compactor and you're pounding the soil above it that water will actually wick up into your soil and disintegrate your results but if you use the right amount of compression compaction and you just gently squish that soil over the questionably questionable areas you can actually use the soil above it to create a bridging effect [Music] well we're off to a good start jason's bleeding he's working worked about 13 seconds so i got him checking the pre-check and uh while he's doing that there's something i want to show you probably oh yeah this is something i'm going to show you this this is interesting this is interesting so let's cover up the address now as we look at this that is right there 554 and take a guess what that's for that 554 dollar permit fee is just for silt fence and erosion inspections it's not for the job you want to see what the job fee is the job the job fee on this project is 98 so the actual permit to do the deconstruction of the swimming pool is 98. but they charge 550 to come out and inspect a silt fence and that's on every single job and we're not in a big town this is not a big town this is a little tiny town so you want to talk to me about what i feel is a waste of money geez so let me so we're here's the best part there's the silt fence and we're up we're down in a hole behind a retaining wall we don't have it spiked in and we told the guy look you know we're it's not going to rain we're going to be here for a day they're charging us 550 to do this and he's like well if there he's going to come out and he's going to inspect it you can probably see him in just a few minutes because i'm going to film him and he he warned us that if he saw any sediment in the neighbor's yard we're going to have to come back and figure out a way to shovel that back over the fence so we have two permits the one to do the job is only 98 dollars but the one inspect that piece of silt fence is 550. jesus yeah that's crazy that just that torques me it is ignition but as it doesn't have a key for the ignition [Music] [Applause] [Music] what happened the inspector drove by again again twice now didn't stop didn't stop just looks just kind of goes by does he even wave like hi oh he does yeah all right well it's better than he looks kind of like a heavy fella a little bit big you know yeah smiling and waving hey you how are you how are you doing today you're so pretty yes you are yes you are all right so here's what's happening with this job site i've got jason stationed out in the front yard keeping an eye open because the silt silt fence inspector is supposed to be there that morning and he drives right by and i'm looking at jason and jason looks at me and we're both jumping up and down hey over here maybe he missed the site then he comes by about an hour later and he drives by again he just looks at us and just keeps going won't even stop twice he just went blew right past us for a 554 dollar inspection fee i would at least hope to get some face time with the guy but the next inspector the building inspector he does stop and that gets pretty interesting and that's coming up in the next two part the next the next three part series that we got coming down the pipeline so i hope you guys like these series and uh i hope you guys hit that subscribe button and stick around god bless you guys we'll catch you on the next one
