  what
• 2:28
  you're

  doing

  out

  there

  is
• 2:30
  this
• 2:31
  dark
• 2:31
  underworld
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  foundation
• 2:33
  repair
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  don't
• 2:33
  want
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  go
• 2:34
  out
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  hammer
• 2:34
  on
• 2:34
  an
• 2:34
  industry
• 2:35
  out
• 2:35
  there.
• 2:36
  There's
• 2:36
  a
• 2:36
  lot
• 2:36
  of
• 2:36
  great
• 2:37
  people
• 2:37
  out
• 2:37
  there,
• 2:38
  but
• 2:38
  there's
• 2:38
  also
• 2:39
  a
• 2:39
  lot
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  one,
• 2:40
  a
• 2:40
  lot
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  people
• 2:40
  out
• 2:41
  there
• 2:41
  that
• 2:41
  are
• 2:42
  making
• 2:42
  millions
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  dollars
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  year
• 2:43
  with
• 2:43
  fear
• 2:44
  and
• 2:44
  lack
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  knowledge
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  homeowners.
• 2:47
  And
• 2:47
  they're
• 2:47
  getting
• 2:48
  rich
• 2:48
  off
• 2:49
  an
• 2:49
  unfortunate
• 2:49
  situation.
• 2:50
  That's
• 2:51
  exactly
• 2:51
  right.
• 2:52
  It's
• 2:53
  just
• 2:53
  shocking
• 2:53
  how
• 2:54
  much
• 2:54
  it
• 2:54
  is.
• 2:54
  We
• 2:54
  see
• 2:55
  people
• 2:55
  out
• 2:55
  there
• 2:55
  with
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  duct
• 2:56
  cleaning
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  that
• 2:56
  kind
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  stuff.
• 2:57
  But
• 2:57
  I
• 2:58
  think
• 2:58
  our
• 2:58
  number
• 2:59
  one
• 2:59
  thing
• 3:00
  that's
• 3:00
  fleecing
• 3:00
  homeowners
• 3:01
  these
• 3:01
  days
• 3:02
  is
• 3:03
  broken
• 3:03
  foundations,
• 3:04
  cracks
• 3:04
  in
• 3:04
  the
• 3:05
  foundation,
• 3:05
  or
• 3:05
  even
• 3:05
  water
• 3:06
  in
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  basement.
• 3:07
  And
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  love
• 3:08
  what
• 3:09
  you've
• 3:09
  been
• 3:09
  doing.
• 3:10
  And
• 3:10
  it
• 3:10
  seemed
• 3:11
  like
• 3:11
  you've
• 3:11
  been
• 3:11
  doing
• 3:11
  this
• 3:12
  for
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  long
• 3:12
  time.
• 3:13
  Yeah,
• 3:13
  35
• 3:14
  years.
• 3:15
  And
• 3:15
  there's,
• 3:16
  there
• 3:16
  is
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  tremendous,
• 3:17
  as
• 3:17
  you
• 3:17
  pointed
• 3:17
  out,
• 3:17
  there's
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  tremendous
• 3:18
  amount
• 3:18
  of
• 3:19
  myths
• 3:19
  in

  can
• 3:21
  talk
• 3:21
  about
• 3:22
  some
• 3:22
  of
• 3:22
  those.

• 3:23
  won't
• 3:23
  get
• 3:23
  through
• 3:24
  them
• 3:24
  all
• 3:24
  because
• 3:24
  it'd

  like

• 4:25
  40
• 4:26
  years
• 4:26
  ago,
• 4:27
  they
• 4:27
  realized
• 4:28
  that
• 4:28
  all
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  storm
• 4:28
  drains
• 4:29
  coming
• 4:29
  off
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  people's
• 4:29
  gutters
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  they
• 4:30
  put
• 4:30
  into
• 4:30
  the
• 4:31
  sewer
• 4:31
  system,
• 4:32
  it
• 4:32
  was
• 4:32
  overwhelming
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  sewer
• 4:33
  system
• 4:33
  when
• 4:33
  you
• 4:34
  get
• 4:34
  our
• 4:34
  rains.
• 4:34
  So
• 4:34
  they
• 4:34
  paid
• 4:35
  people
• 4:35
  with
• 4:35
  tax
• 4:36
  rebates
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  disconnect
• 4:37
  those
• 4:38
  downspouts
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  drop
• 4:39
  those.
• 4:40
  Didn't
• 4:41
  tell
• 4:41
  them
• 4:41
  they
• 4:41
  had
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  do
• 4:41
  it.
• 4:41
  Right.
• 4:42
  They
• 4:42
  just
• 4:42
  capped
• 4:42
  off
• 4:43
  the.
• 4:43
  Put
• 4:43
  a
• 4:44
  lead
• 4:44
  seal
• 4:44
  and
• 4:44
  capped
• 4:45
  off
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  sewer
• 4:45
  drain
• 4:46
  there
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  dropped
• 4:47
  them
• 4:47
  right
• 4:47
  next
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  foundation.
• 4:48
  Now
• 4:49
  we
• 4:49
  got
• 4:49
  100,000
• 4:50
  plus
• 4:50
  homes
• 4:50
  out
• 4:50
  there
• 4:51
  with
• 4:51
  foundation
• 4:51
  issues.
• 4:52
  Yep.
• 4:53
  Yeah.
• 4:53
  Water
• 4:54
  is
• 4:54
  a
• 4:54
  catalyst
• 4:54
  for
• 4:55
  sure.
• 4:55
  It
• 4:55
  is
• 4:56
  shocking.
• 4:56
  I
• 4:57
  have
• 4:57
  been
• 4:57
  down
• 4:57
  in
• 4:57
  these
• 4:58
  homes
• 4:58
  before
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  could
• 4:59
  get
• 5:00
  down
• 5:00
  there
• 5:00
  with
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  ballpoint
• 5:02
  pen
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  if
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  took
• 5:03
  15
• 5:04
  minutes
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  could
• 5:04
  dig
• 5:05
  through
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  exterior
• 5:05
  of
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  house.
• 5:06
  It's
• 5:07
  shocking.
• 5:07
  With
• 5:07
  what
• 5:08
  one
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  the
• 5:08
  biggest
• 5:08
  myths
• 5:09
  out
• 5:09
  there
• 5:09
  that
• 5:09
  I
• 5:09
  think
• 5:10
  we
• 5:10
  see
• 5:10
  is
• 5:10
  people
• 5:10
  go,
• 5:11
  dirt's
• 5:11
  dirt
• 5:12
  doesn't
• 5:12
  matter.
• 5:12
  Right.
• 5:13
  Let's
• 5:13
  talk
• 5:13
  about.
• 5:14
  Right.
• 5:14
  Because
• 5:14
  it's
• 5:14
  a
• 5:15
  huge
• 5:15
  issue.
• 5:16
  It's
• 5:16
  a
• 5:16
  lot
• 5:16
  more
• 5:17
  complicated
• 5:17
  than
• 5:17
  people
• 5:18
  realize
• 5:18
  because
• 5:19
  dirt
• 5:19
  gets
• 5:20
  deposited
• 5:20
  in
• 5:20
  layers
• 5:21
  and
• 5:22
  these
• 5:22
  layers,
• 5:22
  there
• 5:23
  could
• 5:23
  be
• 5:23
  10,
• 5:23
  20,
• 5:24
  30
• 5:24
  layers
• 5:24
  within
• 5:25
  a
• 5:25
  30
• 5:25
  foot
• 5:25
  depth.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:26
  each
• 5:26
  of
• 5:27
  them
• 5:27
  is
• 5:27
  a
• 5:27
  different
• 5:27
  mineral
• 5:28
  content,
• 5:28
  different
• 5:28
  affinities
• 5:29
  for
• 5:29
  water,
• 5:30
  different
• 5:30
  densities,
• 5:31
  different
• 5:31
  reactions
• 5:31
  to
• 5:32
  water.
• 5:32
  And
• 5:33
  they're
• 5:33
  not
• 5:33
  even
• 5:34
  layers.
• 5:34
  Some
• 5:34
  are
• 5:35
  fat,
• 5:35
  some
• 5:35
  are
• 5:35
  skinny.
• 5:36
  They
• 5:36
  Move,
• 5:36
  they
• 5:37
  die
• 5:37
  out.
• 5:37
  There's
• 5:37
  rocks.
• 5:38
  It's
• 5:39
  very
• 5:39
  complicated.
• 5:40
  And
• 5:40
  there's
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  lot
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  things
• 5:41
  going
• 5:41
  on
• 5:41
  in
• 5:41
  each
• 5:42
  of
• 5:42
  these
• 5:42
  layers
• 5:42
  all
• 5:43
  at
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  same
• 5:43
  time.
• 5:44
  So
• 5:44
  that's
• 5:45
  why
• 5:45
  you
• 5:45
  really
• 5:45
  need
• 5:45
  geotechnical
• 5:46
  engineers.
• 5:47
  They
• 5:47
  understand
• 5:47
  this
• 5:48
  better
• 5:48
  than
• 5:48
  anybody
• 5:48
  else.
• 5:49
  Well,
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  think
• 5:50
  one
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  worst
• 5:50
  things
• 5:50
  is
• 5:51
  if
• 5:51
  you
• 5:51
  have
• 5:51
  a
• 5:51
  fat
• 5:51
  layer
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  clay
• 5:52
  on
• 5:52
  one
• 5:52
  side
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  house
• 5:53
  and
• 5:54
  not
• 5:54
  on
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  other
• 5:54
  side.
• 5:55
  Right.
• 5:55
  You
• 5:55
  got
• 5:55
  that
• 5:56
  ground
• 5:56
  expanding
• 5:56
  and
• 5:57
  contracting
• 5:58
  at
• 5:58
  way
• 5:58
  too
• 5:58
  different
• 5:59
  rates,
• 5:59
  which
• 6:00
  leads
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  foundation
• 6:01
  issues.
• 6:01
  Yep,
• 6:02
  that's
• 6:02
  right.
• 6:02
  Clays
• 6:03
  can
• 6:03
  be
• 6:03
  a
• 6:04
  very
• 6:04
  problematic
• 6:05
  source
• 6:05
  of
• 6:05
  problems.
• 6:06
  And
• 6:06
  as
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  mentioned,
• 6:07
  they.
• 6:07
  They
• 6:08
  can
• 6:08
  contract
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  expand.
• 6:09
  If
• 6:09
  you
• 6:10
  have
• 6:10
  wet
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  dry
• 6:10
  seasons,
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  key
• 6:13
  is
• 6:13
  changes
• 6:13
  in
• 6:14
  moisture.
• 6:14
  If
• 6:14
  you
• 6:14
  see
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  change
• 6:15
  in
• 6:15
  moisture,
• 6:16
  you're
• 6:16
  going
• 6:16
  to
• 6:16
  have
• 6:16
  problems.
• 6:17
  If
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  have
• 6:17
  clays,
• 6:18
  it's
• 6:18
  one
• 6:18
  of.
• 6:18
  The
• 6:18
  things
• 6:18
  that
• 6:19
  happens
• 6:19
  around
• 6:19
  my
• 6:19
  area
• 6:19
  in
• 6:19
  the
• 6:20
  summertime
• 6:20
  here
• 6:20
  we
• 6:21
  have.
• 6:21
  We
• 6:21
  are
• 6:21
  very
• 6:22
  much
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  wet
• 6:22
  and
• 6:23
  dry
• 6:23
  season.
• 6:24
  Summertime,
• 6:24
  it's
• 6:25
  totally
• 6:25
  dry.
• 6:25
  We
• 6:25
  don't
• 6:25
  get
• 6:26
  rain
• 6:26
  and
• 6:27
  people's
• 6:27
  yards.
• 6:27
  You'll
• 6:27
  see
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  cracks
• 6:28
  in
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  clay.
• 6:29
  It
• 6:29
  looks
• 6:29
  like
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  dry
• 6:30
  lake
• 6:30
  bed.
• 6:30
  Yep.
• 6:31
  So
• 6:31
  I've
• 6:31
  been
• 6:31
  out
• 6:32
  with
• 6:32
  engineers
• 6:32
  and
• 6:32
  said,
• 6:33
  hey,
• 6:33
  can
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  make
• 6:33
  sure
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  water
• 6:34
  your
• 6:34
  flower
• 6:34
  beds
• 6:35
  around
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  outside
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35
  your
• 6:36
  lawn?
• 6:36
  It's
• 6:36
  probably
• 6:37
  going
• 6:37
  to
• 6:37
  save
• 6:37
  your
• 6:38
  foundation
• 6:38
  or
• 6:39
  at
• 6:39
  least
• 6:39
  help
• 6:39
  it.
• 6:40
  You
• 6:40
  know,
• 6:40
  that's
• 6:40
  interesting
• 6:41
  because
• 6:41
  that's
• 6:41
  what
• 6:41
  they
• 6:42
  do
• 6:42
  in
• 6:42
  Houston
• 6:43
  now,
• 6:43
  in
• 6:43
  Phoenix,
• 6:44
  where
• 6:44
  it's
• 6:44
  a
• 6:44
  desert,
• 6:45
  you
• 6:45
  would
• 6:45
  never
• 6:45
  do
• 6:45
  that.
• 6:46
  So
• 6:47
  you
• 6:47
  have
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  talk
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  engineers
• 6:48
  and
• 6:49
  see
• 6:50
  what
• 6:50
  their
• 6:50
  recommendations
• 6:51
  are
• 6:52
  for
• 6:52
  that,
• 6:52
  because
• 6:53
  regionally
• 6:54
  they're
• 6:54
  going
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  change
• 6:55
  depending
• 6:55
  on
• 6:56
  annual
• 6:56
  rainfall,
• 6:57
  depending
• 6:58
  on
• 6:58
  soil
• 6:58
  conditions,
• 6:59
  depending
• 6:59
  on
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  lot
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  things.
• 7:01
  And
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  can
• 7:01
  save
• 7:01
  yourself
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  lot
• 7:02
  of
• 7:02
  trouble
• 7:02
  just
• 7:03
  with
• 7:03
  a
• 7:04
  smart
• 7:04
  conversation
• 7:05
  with
• 7:05
  a
• 7:05
  good
• 7:05
  geotechnical
• 7:06
  engineer
• 7:07
  and
• 7:07
  listen
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  their
• 7:07
  recommendations.
• 7:09
  That
• 7:09
  has
• 7:09
  always
• 7:10
  been
• 7:10
  my
• 7:10
  first
• 7:10
  thing.
• 7:11
  If
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  notice
• 7:11
  cracks
• 7:12
  in
• 7:12
  your
• 7:12
  foundation,
• 7:13
  cracks
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  the
• 7:14
  drywall,
• 7:15
  doors
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  stuff
• 7:16
  not
• 7:16
  opening,
• 7:17
  I've
• 7:17
  always
• 7:17
  said
• 7:17
  before,
• 7:18
  you
• 7:18
  call
• 7:19
  that
• 7:19
  foundation
• 7:20
  company,
• 7:20
  call
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  engineer
• 7:21
  first
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  get
• 7:22
  their
• 7:22
  recommendations.
• 7:22
  What
• 7:23
  do
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  think
• 7:23
  about
• 7:23
  that?
• 7:23
  Is
• 7:23
  my
• 7:24
  number
• 7:24
  one
• 7:24
  recommendation,
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  I'll
• 7:25
  tell
• 7:25
  you
• 7:26
  why.
• 7:26
  There's
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  bunch
• 7:27
  of
• 7:27
  reasons,
• 7:27
  but
• 7:27
  let's
• 7:28
  just
• 7:28
  take
• 7:28
  Susie's
• 7:29
  Q
• 7:29
  homeowner.
• 7:30
  She
• 7:30
  calls
• 7:30
  out
• 7:30
  three
• 7:31
  contractors.
• 7:31
  One
• 7:32
  contractor
• 7:32
  says,
• 7:32
  oh,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:33
  need
• 7:33
  15
• 7:33
  pairs
• 7:33
  on
• 7:34
  this
• 7:34
  side
• 7:34
  of
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  house.
• 7:34
  The
• 7:34
  other
• 7:35
  one
• 7:35
  says
• 7:35
  you
• 7:35
  need,
• 7:35
  oh,
• 7:35
  no,
• 7:35
  you
• 7:35
  need
• 7:36
  12
• 7:36
  on
• 7:36
  this
• 7:36
  side
• 7:36
  of
• 7:36
  the
• 7:37
  house.
• 7:37
  And
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  other
• 7:37
  one
• 7:37
  says,
• 7:38
  no,
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  need
• 7:38
  25
• 7:39
  all
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  way
• 7:39
  around.
• 7:40
  Now,
• 7:40
  as
• 7:40
  a
• 7:40
  homeowner,
• 7:41
  how
• 7:42
  would
• 7:42
  you
• 7:42
  know?
• 7:42
  You
• 7:43
  don't.
• 7:43
  You're
• 7:43
  not
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  professional.
• 7:44
  You
• 7:44
  have
• 7:44
  no
• 7:44
  idea.
• 7:45
  And
• 7:46
  that's
• 7:47
  what
• 7:47
  these
• 7:47
  companies
• 7:47
  bank
• 7:48
  on.
• 7:48
  They're
• 7:48
  banking
• 7:49
  on
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  fact
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  their
• 7:50
  proposal
• 7:50
  is
• 7:51
  different
• 7:51
  so
• 7:51
  they
• 7:51
  don't
• 7:51
  have
• 7:51
  to
• 7:52
  compare
• 7:52
  apples
• 7:52
  to
• 7:53
  apples.
• 7:53
  And
• 7:54
  so
• 7:54
  then
• 7:54
  in
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  end,
• 7:55
  you
• 7:55
  just
• 7:55
  end
• 7:56
  up
• 7:56
  going
• 7:56
  with
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  guy
• 7:56
  you're
• 7:57
  most
• 7:57
  comfortable
• 7:57
  with,
• 7:57
  which
• 7:58
  is
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  best
• 7:58
  salesman,
• 7:59
  which
• 7:59
  probably
• 8:00
  is
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  least
• 8:01
  qualified
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  act
• 8:02
  as
• 8:02
  an
• 8:02
  engineer,
• 8:02
  because
• 8:03
  that's
• 8:03
  what
• 8:03
  these
• 8:03
  sales
• 8:03
  consultants
• 8:04
  are
• 8:04
  doing.
• 8:05
  They're
• 8:05
  doing
• 8:05
  geotechnical
• 8:06
  and
• 8:06
  structural
• 8:07
  engineering
• 8:07
  without
• 8:07
  a
• 8:08
  license.
• 8:08
  Basically,
• 8:09
  yeah.
• 8:09
  And
• 8:09
  if
• 8:10
  you've
• 8:10
  got
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  clay
• 8:10
  soil
• 8:11
  issue,
• 8:11
  maybe
• 8:11
  those
• 8:12
  piles
• 8:12
  are
• 8:12
  not
• 8:12
  the
• 8:13
  answer.
• 8:14
  Right.
• 8:14
  It
• 8:14
  could
• 8:14
  be
• 8:14
  a
• 8:15
  heat
• 8:15
  problem
• 8:15
  and
• 8:16
  it
• 8:16
  may
• 8:16
  not
• 8:16
  need
• 8:17
  underpinning
• 8:17
  at
• 8:17
  all.
• 8:18
  You
• 8:18
  may
• 8:18
  just
• 8:18
  need
• 8:19
  to
• 8:19
  fix
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  drainage.
• 8:19
  There's
• 8:20
  lots
• 8:20
  of
• 8:20
  things.
• 8:20
  I
• 8:21
  need
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  monitor
• 8:21
  it.
• 8:21
  One
• 8:22
  of
• 8:22
  the,
• 8:22
  one
• 8:22
  of
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  myths
• 8:22
  is,
• 8:23
  ah,
• 8:23
  we
• 8:23
  got
• 8:23
  cracks,
• 8:23
  we
• 8:24
  got
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  underpin
• 8:24
  it
• 8:24
  right
• 8:24
  away.
• 8:25
  No,
• 8:25
  that's
• 8:25
  not
• 8:25
  true.
• 8:26
  You
• 8:26
  can
• 8:26
  monitor
• 8:27
  it.
• 8:27
  Get
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  good
• 8:27
  geotechnical
• 8:28
  engineer,
• 8:28
  a
• 8:29
  forensic
• 8:29
  engineer
• 8:30
  out
• 8:30
  there.
• 8:30
  You
• 8:31
  may
• 8:31
  say,
• 8:31
  hey,
• 8:32
  yeah,
• 8:32
  you've
• 8:32
  got
• 8:33
  some
• 8:33
  problems,
• 8:33
  but
• 8:34
  it's
• 8:34
  not
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  end
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  world.
• 8:35
  Or
• 8:36
  hey,
• 8:36
  let's
• 8:36
  monitor
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  for
• 8:37
  six
• 8:37
  months
• 8:38
  to
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  year
• 8:38
  and
• 8:38
  see
• 8:38
  how
• 8:38
  much
• 8:39
  it's
• 8:39
  still
• 8:39
  moving.
• 8:39
  It
• 8:40
  may
• 8:40
  be
• 8:40
  all
• 8:40
  done
• 8:40
  moving.
• 8:41
  Those
• 8:41
  are
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  kinds
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  things
• 8:42
  that
• 8:42
  you're
• 8:42
  going
• 8:42
  to
• 8:43
  get
• 8:43
  from
• 8:43
  engineers.
• 8:44
  Now,
• 8:44
  engineer
• 8:45
  is
• 8:45
  not
• 8:45
  going
• 8:45
  to
• 8:45
  be
• 8:45
  free.
• 8:46
  Foundation
• 8:47
  repair
• 8:47
  companies,
• 8:47
  they're
• 8:48
  going
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  send
• 8:48
  out
• 8:48
  their
• 8:49
  analysis,
• 8:50
  which
• 8:50
  is
• 8:50
  basically
• 8:51
  a
• 8:51
  sales
• 8:51
  pitch
• 8:51
  disguised
• 8:52
  as
• 8:52
  analysis
• 8:53
  for
• 8:53
  free.
• 8:54
  But
• 8:54
  look
• 8:54
  at
• 8:54
  it
• 8:54
  this
• 8:55
  way.
• 8:55
  Would
• 8:55
  you
• 8:55
  go
• 8:55
  to
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  doctor
• 8:56
  and
• 8:56
  pay
• 8:57
  good
• 8:57
  money
• 8:57
  if
• 8:57
  you
• 8:57
  had
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  serious
• 8:58
  problem,
• 8:59
  or
• 8:59
  would
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  go
• 8:59
  for
• 9:00
  free
• 9:00
  to
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  pharmaceutical
• 9:01
  rep?
• 9:01
  That's
• 9:02
  about
• 9:02
  what
• 9:02
  it
• 9:02
  turns
• 9:02
  into.
• 9:03
  You're
• 9:03
  right.
• 9:04
  And
• 9:04
  you
• 9:04
  know
• 9:04
  what?
• 9:05
  If
• 9:05
  you
• 9:05
  get
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  good
• 9:06
  geotechnical
• 9:06
  engineer
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  he
• 9:07
  says,
• 9:08
  okay,
• 9:08
  yeah,
• 9:09
  it's
• 9:09
  still
• 9:09
  moving.
• 9:10
  Yeah,
• 9:10
  we
• 9:10
  need
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  fix
• 9:10
  it,
• 9:11
  we
• 9:11
  need
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  underpin
• 9:12
  it.
• 9:12
  Now,
• 9:13
  he'll
• 9:13
  say,
• 9:13
  he'll
• 9:14
  give
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  a
• 9:14
  plan
• 9:14
  that
• 9:15
  says,
• 9:15
  put
• 9:15
  in
• 9:16
  13
• 9:17
  peers
• 9:17
  right
• 9:17
  here.
• 9:18
  No
• 9:18
  more,
• 9:19
  no
• 9:19
  less.
• 9:19
  Well,
• 9:19
  now,
• 9:20
  that's
• 9:20
  right.
• 9:21
  And
• 9:21
  you
• 9:21
  can
• 9:21
  go
• 9:21
  get
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  three
• 9:22
  bids.
• 9:23
  And
• 9:23
  guess
• 9:23
  what?
• 9:23
  All
• 9:24
  those
• 9:24
  guys
• 9:24
  are
• 9:24
  going
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  sharpen
• 9:25
  their
• 9:25
  pencil
• 9:25
  because
• 9:25
  they
• 9:25
  know
• 9:26
  they're
• 9:26
  bidding
• 9:26
  apples
• 9:26
  to
• 9:27
  apples.
• 9:27
  You're
• 9:27
  probably
• 9:28
  going
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  save
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  money
• 9:29
  that
• 9:29
  you
• 9:29
  spent
• 9:30
  and
• 9:30
  more
• 9:31
  with
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  engineer.
• 9:32
  And
• 9:32
  the
• 9:33
  beautiful
• 9:33
  thing
• 9:33
  is,
• 9:34
  if
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  go
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  sell
• 9:34
  that
• 9:35
  house
• 9:35
  one
• 9:35
  day,
• 9:35
  you
• 9:35
  go,
• 9:36
  here's
• 9:36
  the
• 9:36
  engineer's
• 9:37
  report
• 9:37
  stamped,
• 9:38
  and
• 9:39
  here's
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  fix
• 9:40
  that
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  had
• 9:40
  done.
• 9:40
  It
• 9:41
  is
• 9:41
  good
• 9:41
  to
• 9:41
  gold
• 9:42
  versus
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  foundation
• 9:44
  salesperson
• 9:44
  talked
• 9:45
  me
• 9:45
  into
• 9:45
  doing.
• 9:46
  Well.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  let
• 9:47
  me
• 9:47
  tell
• 9:47
  you,
• 9:47
  all
• 9:48
  these
• 9:48
  foundation
• 9:48
  repair
• 9:49
  companies,
• 9:49
  they
• 9:49
  give
• 9:49
  a
• 9:49
  lifetime
• 9:50
  warranty,
• 9:50
  right?
• 9:51
  That's
• 9:51
  not
• 9:51
  worth
• 9:51
  the
• 9:52
  paper
• 9:52
  it's
• 9:52
  written
• 9:52
  on.
• 9:53
  There
• 9:53
  are
• 9:53
  so
• 9:54
  many
• 9:54
  get
• 9:54
  out
• 9:54
  of
• 9:54
  jail
• 9:55
  free
• 9:55
  cards
• 9:55
  in
• 9:55
  that
• 9:55
  thing.
• 9:56
  I'll
• 9:56
  give
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  an
• 9:56
  example.
• 9:57
  So
• 9:58
  five
• 9:58
  years
• 9:58
  later,
• 9:58
  the
• 9:59
  homeowner
• 9:59
  calls
• 9:59
  the
• 10:00
  contractor
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  says,
• 10:00
  oh,
• 10:01
  yeah,
• 10:02
  my
• 10:02
  house
• 10:02
  is
• 10:02
  cracking
• 10:03
  all
• 10:03
  up
• 10:03
  again.
• 10:03
  Your
• 10:04
  foundation
• 10:04
  fix
• 10:04
  isn't
• 10:05
  working.
• 10:05
  Come
• 10:05
  out
• 10:05
  here
• 10:05
  and
• 10:05
  honor
• 10:06
  your
• 10:06
  lifetime
• 10:06
  warranty.
• 10:07
  So
• 10:07
  then
• 10:08
  the
• 10:08
  foundation
• 10:08
  repair
• 10:09
  salesman
• 10:09
  or
• 10:10
  contractor
• 10:10
  sends
• 10:11
  out
• 10:11
  a
• 10:11
  really
• 10:11
  experienced
• 10:12
  guy,
• 10:12
  and
• 10:13
  he
• 10:13
  says,
• 10:13
  oh,
• 10:14
  well,
• 10:14
  this
• 10:15
  problem
• 10:15
  is

  Heave.
• 10:16
  And

  right
• 10:17
  here
• 10:17
  in
• 10:18
  our
• 10:18
  contract
• 10:18
  that
• 10:18
  our.
• 10:19
  Our
• 10:19
  peers
• 10:19
  can't
• 10:19
  fix
• 10:20
  Heave.
• 10:20
  So,
• 10:20
  hey,
• 10:20
  have
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  nice
• 10:21

  is,
• 10:23
  oh,
• 10:23
  now
• 10:23
  what?
• 10:24
  And
• 10:24
  if
• 10:25
  they're
• 10:25
  really
• 10:25
  smart,
• 10:25
  they
• 10:25
  might
• 10:26
  go,
• 10:26
  hey,
• 10:26
  wait,
• 10:26
  wait.
• 10:27
  If
• 10:27
  it's

  heave,

  didn't
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  diagnose
• 10:29
  it

  wrong
• 10:30
  in
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  first
• 10:30
  place?
• 10:31
  And
• 10:32
  the
• 10:32
  contractor
• 10:33
  says,
• 10:33
  hey,
• 10:33
  what
• 10:33
  do
• 10:34
  we
• 10:34
  know?
• 10:35
  We're
• 10:35
  not
• 10:35
  engineers.
• 10:36
  We're
• 10:36
  just
• 10:36
  stupid
• 10:36
  contractors.
• 10:37
  See
• 10:37
  ya.
• 10:38
  It's
• 10:38
  like
• 10:39
  house
• 10:39
  inspections.

  When

  You're

  From

  make
• 12:28
  sure
• 12:29
  he
• 12:29
  does

  the
• 12:29
  right
• 12:29

  Board

  something
• 12:35
  wrong,

  He's

  Nothing.

  this

  is
• 12:52
  where

  I

  think

  homeowners

  become

  the
• 12:54
  victim
• 12:55
  here,

  I

  lot

  of
• 12:56
  great
• 12:57
  people
• 12:57
  out

  there
• 12:57
  that
• 12:58
  are
• 12:58
  going
• 12:58
  in
• 12:58
  and
• 12:58
  doing
• 12:58
  it
• 12:58
  honestly.
• 12:59
  But
• 12:59
  in
• 13:00
  my
• 13:00
  area,
• 13:00
  there's
• 13:00
  a

  couple

  ultimate

  Yep.

  Go

  you're
• 13:08
  there
• 13:08
  for
• 13:08
  90
• 13:08
  minutes.

  Oh,
• 13:12
  more
• 13:12
  than
• 13:12
  90
• 13:12
  minutes.
• 13:12
  Sometimes
• 13:13
  there
• 13:13
  for
• 13:14
  three
• 13:14
  hours.
• 13:15
  It
• 13:15
  gets
• 13:16
  crazy,
• 13:17
  and
• 13:17
  the
• 13:18
  homeowner
• 13:18
  is
• 13:18
  totally
• 13:19
  scared,
• 13:19
  and
• 13:19
  they
• 13:19
  got
• 13:19
  to
• 13:20
  think
• 13:20
  about
• 13:20
  right.
• 13:21
  What
• 13:21
  to
• 13:21
  do.
• 13:22
  And.
• 13:22
  Right.
• 13:22
  It's
• 13:23
  absolutely
• 13:23
  insane.
• 13:25
  As
• 13:25
  long
• 13:25
  as
• 13:25
  we're
• 13:25
  talking
• 13:26
  about
• 13:26
  engineers
• 13:27
  and
• 13:28
  warranties,
• 13:29
  let
• 13:29
  me.
• 13:29
  Let
• 13:29
  me
• 13:29
  bring
• 13:29
  up
• 13:30
  one
• 13:30
  more
• 13:30
  important
• 13:30
  point.
• 15:12
  One
• 15:12
  of
• 15:13
  the.
• 15:13
  One
• 15:13
  of
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  pernicious
• 15:14
  mistruths
• 15:15
  that
• 15:15
  is
• 15:16
  told
• 15:16
  out
• 15:16
  there
• 15:17
  is
• 15:17
  that,
• 15:17
  hey,
• 15:18
  don't
• 15:18
  worry,
• 15:19
  when
• 15:19
  we
• 15:19
  pull
• 15:19
  permits,
• 15:20
  we're
• 15:21
  going
• 15:21
  to
• 15:21
  have
• 15:21
  the
• 15:21
  engineer
• 15:21
  look
• 15:22
  this
• 15:22
  over
• 15:22
  and
• 15:22
  make
• 15:22
  sure
• 15:23
  everything's
• 15:23
  good.
• 15:24
  That
• 15:24
  is
• 15:24
  absolutely
• 15:25
  not
• 15:25
  true,
• 15:25
  and
• 15:26
  I'll
• 15:26
  tell
• 15:26
  you
• 15:26
  why.
• 15:27
  Because
• 15:27
  an
• 15:27
  engineer
• 15:28
  cannot
• 15:29
  put
• 15:29
  his
• 15:29
  seal
• 15:30
  to
• 15:30
  anything
• 15:30
  that
• 15:31
  he
• 15:31
  did
• 15:31
  not
• 15:31
  gather
• 15:31
  the
• 15:32
  data
• 15:32
  for,
• 15:32
  or
• 15:33
  somebody
• 15:34
  under
• 15:34
  his
• 15:34
  direct
• 15:34
  employee
• 15:35
  gathered
• 15:36
  the
• 15:36
  data
• 15:36
  for,
• 15:36
  which
• 15:36
  means
• 15:37
  if
• 15:37
  somebody
• 15:37
  from
• 15:38
  another
• 15:38
  company
• 15:38
  gathered
• 15:39
  the
• 15:39
  data,
• 15:39
  the
• 15:39
  engineer
• 15:40
  cannot
• 15:40
  put
• 15:40
  his
• 15:40
  seal
• 15:41
  to
• 15:41
  it.
• 15:41
  So,
• 15:42
  in
• 15:42
  fact,
• 15:42
  when
• 15:43
  you
• 15:43
  go
• 15:43
  to
• 15:43
  pull
• 15:43
  permits,
• 15:44
  the
• 15:44
  only
• 15:44
  requirement
• 15:45
  that
• 15:45
  the
• 15:45
  city
• 15:46
  has
• 15:46
  for
• 15:47
  the
• 15:47
  engineer
• 15:47
  to
• 15:47
  put
• 15:48
  his
• 15:48
  seal
• 15:48
  to
• 15:49
  is
• 15:49
  a
• 15:49
  spacing
• 15:50
  calculation
• 15:50
  for
• 15:51
  piers.
• 15:51
  All
• 15:51
  they
• 15:51
  want
• 15:51
  to
• 15:52
  do
• 15:52
  is
• 15:52
  make
• 15:52
  sure
• 15:52
  you're
• 15:52
  not
• 15:52
  putting
• 15:53
  them
• 15:53
  too
• 15:53
  far
• 15:53
  apart
• 15:53
  so
• 15:54
  that
• 15:54
  the
• 15:54
  house
• 15:54
  droops
• 15:55
  between
• 15:55
  the
• 15:55
  piers.
• 15:55
  It's
• 15:56
  not
• 15:56
  that
• 15:56
  hard
• 15:56
  to
• 15:57
  do.
• 15:57
  A
• 15:57
  monkey
• 15:57
  could
• 15:58
  do
• 15:58
  that
• 15:58
  calculation.
• 15:59
  It's
• 15:59
  super
• 16:00
  easy
• 16:00
  Most
• 16:00
  of
• 16:00
  the
• 16:01
  time
• 16:01
  it's
• 16:01
  either
• 16:01
  6ft
• 16:02
  or
• 16:02
  8ft,
• 16:02
  unless
• 16:02
  it's
• 16:03
  a
• 16:03
  really
• 16:03
  old
• 16:03
  house
• 16:03
  without
• 16:04
  rebar
• 16:04
  in
• 16:04
  the
• 16:04
  footings
• 16:04
  or
• 16:05
  something.
• 16:05
  But
• 16:06
  the
• 16:06
  fact
• 16:06
  of
• 16:06
  the
• 16:06
  matter
• 16:07
  is,
• 16:07
  you
• 16:07
  could
• 16:08
  have
• 16:08
  peers
• 16:09
  on
• 16:09
  the
• 16:09
  wrong
• 16:09
  side
• 16:10
  of
• 16:10
  the
• 16:10
  house.
• 16:10
  You
• 16:10
  could
• 16:10
  have
• 16:10
  too
• 16:11
  many
• 16:11
  peers.
• 16:11
  You
• 16:11
  could
• 16:12
  have
• 16:12
  peers
• 16:12
  that
• 16:12
  aren't
• 16:12
  needed
• 16:13
  at
• 16:13
  all.
• 16:14
  There's
• 16:14
  nothing
• 16:14
  in
• 16:14
  the
• 16:15
  Permian
• 16:15
  process
• 16:15
  that
• 16:16
  corrects
• 16:16
  for
• 16:16
  any
• 16:16
  of
• 16:16
  those
• 16:17
  errors
• 16:17
  at
• 16:17
  all.
• 16:18
  And
• 16:18
  the
• 16:18
  engineer
• 16:19
  will
• 16:19
  not
• 16:19
  be
• 16:19
  able
• 16:19
  to
• 16:19
  fix
• 16:20
  any
• 16:20
  of
• 16:20
  those
• 16:20
  because
• 16:21
  he
• 16:21
  did
• 16:21
  not
• 16:21
  gather
• 16:21
  the
• 16:22
  data,
• 16:22
  he
• 16:22
  didn't
• 16:23
  understand
• 16:23
  the
• 16:23
  problem,
• 16:24
  and
• 16:24
  he
• 16:24
  didn't
• 16:25
  design
• 16:25
  the
• 16:25
  fix
• 16:25
  to
• 16:26
  the
• 16:26
  problem.
• 16:26
  Let
• 16:27
  me
• 16:27
  give
• 16:27
  you
• 16:27
  an
• 16:27
  example.
• 16:28
  I
• 16:28
  had
• 16:28
  a
• 16:28
  homeowner
• 16:29
  up
• 16:29
  here
• 16:29
  in
• 16:29
  Show
• 16:29
  Low
• 16:30
  who.
• 16:31
  They
• 16:31
  had
• 16:31
  a
• 16:31
  block
• 16:32
  stem
• 16:32
  wall
• 16:33
  that
• 16:33
  never
• 16:33
  got
• 16:33
  grouted,
• 16:35
  and
• 16:36
  it
• 16:36
  had
• 16:36
  moved
• 16:37
  out
• 16:37
  from
• 16:38
  the
• 16:38
  house,
• 16:38
  and
• 16:39
  the
• 16:39
  house
• 16:39
  was
• 16:39
  sitting
• 16:40
  on,
• 16:40
  like,
• 16:40
  the
• 16:41
  last
• 16:41
  inch
• 16:41
  and
• 16:42
  a
• 16:42
  half
• 16:42
  of
• 16:42
  block.
• 16:43
  And
• 16:43
  so
• 16:43
  the
• 16:44
  foundation
• 16:44
  company
• 16:44
  told
• 16:45
  her,
• 16:45
  oh,
• 16:46
  yeah,
• 16:46
  when
• 16:46
  we
• 16:46
  underpin
• 16:47
  this,
• 16:47
  we're
• 16:47
  going
• 16:47
  to
• 16:47
  rotate
• 16:47
  that
• 16:48
  right
• 16:48
  back
• 16:48
  into
• 16:48
  place.
• 16:49
  Well,
• 16:50
  they
• 16:50
  underpinned
• 16:50
  it,
• 16:51
  and
• 16:51
  it
• 16:51
  didn't
• 16:52
  rotate
• 16:52
  back
• 16:52
  into
• 16:53
  place.
• 16:53
  And
• 16:53
  so
• 16:53
  then
• 16:54
  they.
• 16:54
  And
• 16:54
  they
• 16:54
  pulled
• 16:54
  a
• 16:55
  permit.
• 16:55
  They
• 16:55
  had
• 16:56
  an
• 16:56
  engineer
• 16:56
  put
• 16:56
  a
• 16:56
  seal
• 16:57
  on
• 16:57
  the
• 16:57
  drawings,
• 16:58
  the
• 16:58
  whole
• 16:59
  ball
• 16:59
  of
• 16:59
  wax.
• 17:00
  But
• 17:00
  when
• 17:00
  she
• 17:00
  said,
• 17:01
  hey,
• 17:01
  the
• 17:02
  reason
• 17:02
  I
• 17:02
  called
• 17:02
  you
• 17:03
  is
• 17:03
  for
• 17:03
  this.
• 17:03
  Can
• 17:04
  you.
• 17:04
  What
• 17:04
  happened?
• 17:05
  And
• 17:05
  they're
• 17:05
  like,
• 17:05
  well,
• 17:06
  if
• 17:06
  you
• 17:06
  really
• 17:06
  want
• 17:07
  that
• 17:07
  fixed,
• 17:07
  we're
• 17:07
  going
• 17:08
  to
• 17:08
  have
• 17:08
  to
• 17:08
  hire
• 17:09
  a
• 17:09
  mason
• 17:09
  contractor.
• 17:10
  It's
• 17:11
  going
• 17:11
  to
• 17:11
  cost
• 17:11
  you
• 17:11
  another
• 17:12
  $27,000.
• 17:13
  And
• 17:13
  she's
• 17:13
  so
• 17:14
  I
• 17:14
  called
• 17:14
  the
• 17:14
  engineer,
• 17:15
  I
• 17:15
  said,
• 17:15
  hey,
• 17:16
  so
• 17:16
  what's
• 17:16
  the
• 17:16
  deal?
• 17:16
  How
• 17:17
  come
• 17:17
  you
• 17:17
  didn't
• 17:17
  address
• 17:17
  this
• 17:18
  problem?
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  he's.
• 17:18
  I
• 17:19
  didn't
• 17:19
  even
• 17:19
  know
• 17:19
  about
• 17:19
  that
• 17:20
  problem.
• 17:20
  They
• 17:20
  just
• 17:21
  told
• 17:21
  me
• 17:21
  they
• 17:21
  wanted
• 17:21
  piers
• 17:22
  at
• 17:22
  a
• 17:22
  certain
• 17:22
  spot,
• 17:22
  and
• 17:22
  I
• 17:23
  did
• 17:23
  the
• 17:23
  spacing
• 17:23
  calc.
• 17:24
  And
• 17:24
  that's
• 17:24
  exactly
• 17:25
  what
• 17:25
  happens.
• 17:26
  Ah,
• 17:27
  that's
• 17:27
  brutal.
• 17:27
  And
• 17:28
  I
• 17:28
  tell
• 17:28
  you
• 17:28
  what,
• 17:28
  I
• 17:28
  have
• 17:29
  had
• 17:29
  more
• 17:29
  issues,
• 17:30
  especially
• 17:30
  in
• 17:31
  my
• 17:31
  area
• 17:31
  where
• 17:31
  it's
• 17:31
  wet
• 17:32
  with
• 17:32
  CMU
• 17:33
  block
• 17:33
  foundations
• 17:33
  like
• 17:34
  that,
• 17:34
  concrete
• 17:34
  block
• 17:34
  foundations.
• 17:35
  Because
• 17:36
  many
• 17:36
  times
• 17:37
  here
• 17:37
  in
• 17:37
  our
• 17:37
  area,
• 17:37
  when
• 17:38
  they
• 17:38
  built
• 17:38
  these
• 17:38
  homes,
• 17:39
  especially
• 17:39
  20,
• 17:40
  30,
• 17:40
  40,
• 17:40
  50
• 17:41
  years
• 17:41
  ago,
• 17:41
  whatever
• 17:41
  they
• 17:42
  were,
• 17:42
  the
• 17:42
  inside
• 17:43
  of
• 17:43
  those
• 17:43
  hollow
• 17:43
  blocks
• 17:44
  didn't
• 17:44
  get
• 17:44
  filled
• 17:44
  up.
• 17:45
  And
• 17:45
  so
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  can
• 17:45
  have
• 17:45
  a
• 17:45
  leak
• 17:46
  someplace
• 17:46
  on
• 17:47
  the
• 17:47
  other
• 17:47
  side
• 17:47
  of
• 17:47
  the
• 17:47
  house.
• 17:48
  Yep.
• 17:48
  And
• 17:49
  it
• 17:49
  just
• 17:49
  leaks
• 17:49
  through
• 17:50
  and
• 17:50
  comes
• 17:50
  out
• 17:50
  on
• 17:51
  the
• 17:51
  other
• 17:51
  side
• 17:51
  of
• 17:51
  the
• 17:51
  house
• 17:51
  over
• 17:52
  there.
• 17:52
  The
• 17:53
  only
• 17:53
  way
• 17:53
  you
• 17:54
  can
• 17:54
  waterproof
• 17:54
  that
• 17:55
  foundation
• 17:55
  is
• 17:55
  from
• 17:55
  the
• 17:56
  outside,
• 17:56
  because
• 17:56
  otherwise
• 17:57
  you're
• 17:57
  chasing
• 17:58
  it
• 17:58
  forever.
• 17:58
  It's.
• 17:59
  It's
• 17:59
  impossible.
• 18:00
  Right,
• 18:00
  I
• 18:00
  agree.
• 18:01
  It's
• 18:01
  just
• 18:02
  I.
• 18:02
  Every
• 18:02
  time
• 18:02
  I
• 18:02
  see
• 18:03
  those,
• 18:03
  I
• 18:03
  go,
• 18:03
  oh,
• 18:04
  man,
• 18:04
  if
• 18:05
  that
• 18:05
  thing
• 18:05
  starts
• 18:05
  leaking,
• 18:06
  it's
• 18:07
  an
• 18:07
  excavation
• 18:07
  project,
• 18:08
  it
• 18:08
  is
• 18:09
  a
• 18:09
  problem.
• 18:10
  So
• 18:10
  what
• 18:10
  do
• 18:10
  you
• 18:10
  see
• 18:10
  out
• 18:11
  there?
• 18:11
  When.
• 18:12
  What.
• 18:12
  What's
• 18:12
  the
• 18:12
  best
• 18:13
  mode
• 18:14
  for
• 18:14
  people
• 18:14
  to
• 18:14
  go
• 18:14
  down?
• 18:15
  When
• 18:15
  they
• 18:15
  go,
• 18:15
  okay,
• 18:16
  I
• 18:16
  think
• 18:16
  I
• 18:16
  have
• 18:16
  a
• 18:17
  problem.
• 18:17
  Whether
• 18:17
  it's
• 18:18
  a
• 18:18
  house
• 18:19
  sinking
• 18:20
  or
• 18:20
  appears
• 18:21
  to
• 18:21
  be
• 18:21
  sinking
• 18:22
  or
• 18:23
  any
• 18:23
  of
• 18:23
  these
• 18:24
  kind
• 18:24
  of
• 18:24
  problems
• 18:24
  with
• 18:25
  foundation
• 18:25
  issues.
• 18:25
  Of
• 18:26
  course,
• 18:26
  we
• 18:26
  start
• 18:26
  out
• 18:26
  with
• 18:26
  the
• 18:27
  engineer,
• 18:28
  but
• 18:28
  is
• 18:28
  there
• 18:29
  anything
• 18:29
  people
• 18:29
  should
• 18:29
  be
• 18:30
  looking
• 18:30
  for
• 18:30
  when
• 18:30
  they're
• 18:30
  out
• 18:31
  finding,
• 18:31
  looking
• 18:31
  for
• 18:32
  that
• 18:32
  contractor
• 18:32
  out
• 18:33
  there
• 18:33
  that
• 18:33
  you
• 18:33
  recommend?
• 18:34
  Well,
• 18:34
  let
• 18:34
  me
• 18:34
  just
• 18:35
  say
• 18:35
  this
• 18:35
  because
• 18:35
  I
• 18:35
  like

  pretty
• 18:52
  good

  job.
• 18:53
  And
• 18:53
  honestly,
• 18:54
  the
• 18:55
  thing
• 18:55
  that
• 18:55
  you
• 18:55
  need
• 18:55
  to
• 18:55
  be
• 18:55
  careful
• 18:56
  of
• 18:56
  is
• 18:56
  the
• 18:56
  diagnosis.
• 18:57
  Once
• 18:57
  you.
• 18:58
  Once
• 18:58
  you
• 18:58
  get
• 18:58
  a
• 18:58
  plan,
• 18:59
  what.
• 19:00
  One
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  the
• 19:00
  things
• 19:00
  that
• 19:00
  I
• 19:01
  would
• 19:01
  do,
• 19:01
  because
• 19:02
  most
• 19:03
  of
• 19:03
  the
• 19:03
  time,
• 19:03
  city
• 19:03
  inspectors
• 19:04
  don't
• 19:04
  really
• 19:05
  understand
• 19:05
  what's
• 19:05
  going
• 19:05
  on
• 19:06
  with
• 19:06
  this
• 19:06
  kind
• 19:06
  of
• 19:06
  stuff.
• 19:07
  And
• 19:07
  so
• 19:07
  then
• 19:07
  they
• 19:07
  hire.
• 19:08
  They
• 19:08
  want
• 19:08
  you
• 19:08
  to
• 19:08
  hire
• 19:09
  a
• 19:09
  special
• 19:09
  inspector.
• 19:10
  Well,
• 19:10
  a
• 19:10
  lot
• 19:10
  of
• 19:10
  times
• 19:11
  the
• 19:11
  city
• 19:12
  leaves
• 19:12
  it
• 19:12
  up,
• 19:12
  the
• 19:12
  contractor
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  hire
• 19:13
  their
• 19:13
  own
• 19:13
  special
• 19:14
  inspector.
• 19:14
  Well,
• 19:14
  that's
• 19:14
  like
• 19:14
  the
• 19:15
  fox
• 19:15
  guarding
• 19:15
  the
• 19:15
  henhouse.
• 19:16
  That's
• 19:16
  dumb.
• 19:17
  Why
• 19:17
  would
• 19:17
  you
• 19:17
  do
• 19:17
  that?
• 19:18
  The
• 19:18
  better
• 19:18
  way
• 19:19
  is
• 19:19
  to
• 19:19
  have
• 19:19
  the
• 19:19
  engineer
• 19:20
  that
• 19:20
  designs
• 19:20
  the
• 19:20
  plan
• 19:21
  be
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  special
• 19:22
  inspector.
• 19:22
  He's
• 19:22
  the
• 19:23
  one
• 19:23
  that
• 19:23
  holds
• 19:23
  the
• 19:23
  contractor
• 19:24
  accountable.
• 19:25
  And.
• 19:25
  And
• 19:25
  if
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  contractor
• 19:26
  doesn't
• 19:26
  get
• 19:26
  something
• 19:26
  right,
• 19:27
  he's
• 19:27
  going
• 19:27
  to
• 19:27
  insist
• 19:28
  because
• 19:28
  he's
• 19:28
  going
• 19:28
  to
• 19:28
  put
• 19:29
  his
• 19:29
  seal
• 19:29
  on
• 19:29
  it.
• 19:29
  Right.
• 19:30
  And
• 19:30
  guess
• 19:30
  what?
• 19:31
  Here's
• 19:31
  what
• 19:31
  happens.
• 19:32
  A
• 19:32
  lot
• 19:32
  of
• 19:32
  times
• 19:32
  you
• 19:32
  get
• 19:33
  halfway
• 19:33
  through
• 19:33
  the
• 19:34
  project,
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  what
• 19:35
  happens?
• 19:36
  Oh,
• 19:36
  Mr.
• 19:37
  Jones.
• 19:37
  Yeah.
• 19:38
  We're
• 19:38
  going
• 19:38
  to
• 19:38
  need
• 19:39
  to
• 19:39
  add
• 19:39
  five
• 19:39
  more
• 19:39
  peers
• 19:40
  to
• 19:40
  your
• 19:40
  project.
• 19:41
  How's
• 19:42
  the
• 19:42
  homeowner
• 19:42
  know
• 19:42
  that?
• 19:43
  They're
• 19:43
  like,
• 19:43
  you
• 19:43
  have
• 19:43
  no
• 19:43
  idea.
• 19:44
  If
• 19:44
  they
• 19:44
  push
• 19:44
  back
• 19:45
  and
• 19:45
  go,
• 19:46
  well,
• 19:46
  no,

  I

• 19:47
  to
• 19:47
  add
• 19:47
  five
• 19:47
  peers.
• 19:47
  Then
• 19:48
  the
• 19:48
  contractor
• 19:48
  says,
• 19:48
  well,
• 19:49
  okay,

  extra
• 19:54
  $25,000.
• 19:55
  And
• 19:55
  the
• 19:56
  fact
• 19:56
  of
• 19:56
  the
• 19:56
  matter
• 19:56
  is,
• 19:57
  if

  the
• 20:00
  contractor
• 20:00
  comes

  says,

  to
• 20:08
  be
• 20:08
  a
• 20:08
  lot
• 20:09
  more
• 20:09
  careful.
• 20:10
  And
• 20:10
  you

  somebody

  orders

  Half

  You

• 20:24
  change
• 20:24
  orders

• 21:34
  nobody's
• 21:35
  going
• 21:35
  to
• 21:35
  do
• 21:35
  that.
• 21:35
  Nobody's
• 21:36
  going
• 21:36
  to
• 21:36
  spend
• 21:36
  that
• 21:36
  kind
• 21:36
  of
• 21:36
  money
• 21:37
  unless
• 21:37
  you're
• 21:37
  in
• 21:37
  a
• 21:37
  really
• 21:37
  rocky
• 21:38
  situation.
• 21:39
  I
• 21:39
  have
• 21:39
  a
• 21:39
  friend
• 21:40
  who
• 21:40
  owns
• 21:40
  a
• 21:40
  business
• 21:40
  up
• 21:41
  there
• 21:41
  in
• 21:41
  Reno,
• 21:41
  and
• 21:41
  it's
• 21:41
  all
• 21:42
  rock,
• 21:42
  so
• 21:42
  that's
• 21:42
  mostly
• 21:43
  what
• 21:43
  they
• 21:43
  do.
• 21:43
  But
• 21:44
  other
• 21:44
  than
• 21:44
  that,
• 21:44
  push
• 21:45
  piers,
• 21:45
  helical
• 21:45
  piers
• 21:46
  are
• 21:46
  going
• 21:46
  to
• 21:46
  work
• 21:46
  great.
• 21:46
  The
• 21:47
  question
• 21:47
  is,
• 21:47
  is
• 21:48
  that
• 21:48
  fix
• 21:48
  the
• 21:48
  problem
• 21:49
  if
• 21:49
  you've
• 21:49
  got
• 21:49
  a
• 21:50
  heat
• 21:50
  problem?
• 21:50
  Well,
• 21:51
  now
• 21:51
  what?
• 21:51
  Well,
• 24:20
  I
• 24:20
  developed
• 24:21
  a
• 24:21
  patented
• 24:21
  system
• 24:22
  that
• 24:23
  dries
• 24:23
  out
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  clays
• 24:25
  underneath
• 24:25
  the
• 24:25
  foundation
• 24:26
  called
• 24:26
  the
• 24:26
  moisture
• 24:27
  level
• 24:27
  system.
• 24:28
  And
• 24:28
  it
• 24:28
  runs
• 24:28
  air
• 24:29
  through
• 24:29
  the
• 24:29
  gravel
• 24:29
  layer
• 24:30
  that's
• 24:30
  right
• 24:30
  under
• 24:30
  the
• 24:31
  concrete,
• 24:31
  and
• 24:31
  then
• 24:32
  it
• 24:32
  dries
• 24:32
  out
• 24:32
  those
• 24:33
  clays
• 24:33
  over
• 24:33
  time.
• 24:34
  And
• 24:35
  the
• 24:35
  idea
• 24:35
  is
• 24:35
  to
• 24:36
  keep
• 24:36
  them
• 24:36
  from.
• 24:37
  To
• 24:37
  stop
• 24:37
  them
• 24:37
  from
• 24:37
  swelling.
• 24:38
  Right.
• 24:39
  And
• 24:39
  it
• 24:40
  does
• 24:40
  work.
• 24:40
  It
• 24:41
  removed
• 24:41
  about
• 24:42
  26
• 24:43
  gallons
• 24:43
  of
• 24:43
  water
• 24:44
  every
• 24:44
  day
• 24:45
  on
• 24:45
  the
• 24:45
  average.
• 24:46
  Pretty
• 24:46
  good
• 24:46
  little
• 24:47
  system.
• 24:47
  Another
• 24:48
  innovation
• 24:48
  that
• 24:48
  I'm
• 24:49
  working
• 24:49
  on
• 24:50
  is
• 24:50
  interior
• 24:51
  floor
• 24:51
  slabs.
• 24:52
  If
• 24:52
  you
• 24:52
  want
• 24:52
  to
• 24:53
  raise
• 24:53
  up
• 24:53
  an
• 24:53
  interior
• 24:53
  floor
• 24:54
  slab,
• 24:54
  let's
• 24:54
  say
• 24:54
  it's
• 24:54
  on
• 24:55
  clays,
• 24:55
  and
• 24:55
  you
• 24:55
  don't
• 24:55
  want
• 24:55
  to
• 24:56
  put
• 24:56
  a
• 24:56
  foam
• 24:56
  underneath
• 24:57
  there.
• 24:57
  Well,
• 24:58
  you
• 24:58
  raise
• 24:58
  it
• 24:58
  up
• 24:58
  with
• 24:59
  foam,
• 24:59
  and
• 24:59
  now
• 25:00
  those
• 25:00
  clays
• 25:00
  get
• 25:00
  wet.
• 25:01
  Oh,
• 25:02
  man.
• 25:02
  Now
• 25:02
  you're
• 25:02
  Going
• 25:02
  to
• 25:03
  really
• 25:03
  heave
• 25:03
  like
• 25:03
  crazy.
• 25:04
  Right.
• 25:04
  So
• 25:04
  that's
• 25:04
  a
• 25:04
  scary
• 25:05
  situation.
• 25:05
  You
• 25:05
  don't
• 25:05
  want
• 25:06
  to
• 25:06
  do
• 25:06
  that.
• 25:06
  But
• 25:07
  if
• 25:07
  you
• 25:07
  have
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  put
• 25:07
  in
• 25:07
  piers,
• 25:08
  you
• 25:09
  have
• 25:09
  to
• 25:09
  core
• 25:09
  in
• 25:10
  8
• 25:10
  inch
• 25:10
  holes
• 25:11
  in
• 25:11
  the
• 25:11
  slab
• 25:12
  every
• 25:12
  4ft
• 25:12
  on
• 25:13
  center.
• 25:13
  You
• 25:14
  just
• 25:14
  destroyed
• 25:14
  the,
• 25:15
  the
• 25:15
  integrity
• 25:15
  of
• 25:16
  the
• 25:16
  slab.
• 25:17
  And
• 25:17
  you
• 25:17
  spent
• 25:18
  about
• 25:19
  $300,000
• 25:20
  just
• 25:20
  to
• 25:21
  raise
• 25:21
  up
• 25:21
  a
• 25:21
  floor
• 25:21
  slab.
• 25:22
  Nobody's
• 25:22
  going
• 25:22
  to
• 25:22
  do
• 25:22
  that.
• 25:23
  Well,
• 25:24
  I've
• 25:24
  developed
• 25:24
  a
• 25:25
  system
• 25:25
  where
• 25:25
  you
• 25:25
  can
• 25:25
  core
• 25:26
  an
• 25:26
  inch
• 25:26
  and
• 25:26
  a
• 25:26
  half
• 25:26
  hole
• 25:27
  and
• 25:27
  use
• 25:28
  that
• 25:28
  to
• 25:28
  raise
• 25:28
  up
• 25:28
  a
• 25:29
  slab.
• 25:29
  Super
• 25:30
  cheap
• 25:30
  battery
• 25:31
  driven
• 25:31
  equipment,
• 25:32
  no
• 25:32
  hydraulics
• 25:33
  needed,
• 25:34
  and
• 25:35
  super
• 25:35
  cheap,
• 25:35
  super
• 25:36
  fast.
• 25:37
  And
• 25:37
  stay
• 25:38
  tuned.
• 25:38
  We're
• 25:38
  doing
• 25:38
  the
• 25:38
  testing
• 25:39
  on
• 25:39
  this
• 25:39
  system
• 25:39
  right
• 25:40
  now.
• 25:40
  That
• 25:41
  is
• 25:41
  awesome.
• 25:41
  That
• 25:42
  is
• 25:42
  awesome.
• 25:43
  You
• 25:43
  just
• 25:43
  reminded
• 25:44
  me
• 25:44
  of
• 25:44
  the
• 25:44
  worst
• 25:45
  foundation
• 25:46
  nightmare
• 25:46
  I
• 25:47
  had
• 25:47
  walked
• 25:47
  into.
• 25:48
  And
• 25:48
  you've
• 25:49
  probably
• 25:49
  seen
• 25:49
  this
• 25:49
  before,
• 25:50
  but
• 25:50
  for
• 25:50
  me
• 25:50
  is
• 25:51
  only
• 25:51
  a
• 25:51
  couple
• 25:51
  of
• 25:51
  years
• 25:52
  in
• 25:52
  the
• 25:52
  industry.
• 25:53
  Somebody
• 25:53
  had
• 25:53
  put
• 25:53
  in
• 25:54
  a
• 25:54
  trough
• 25:54
  drain
• 25:54
  system
• 25:55
  around
• 25:55
  the
• 25:55
  house,
• 25:55
  one
• 25:56
  of
• 25:56
  those
• 25:56
  systems
• 25:56
  around
• 25:57
  the
• 25:57
  basement.
• 25:58
  And
• 25:58
  they
• 25:58
  kept
• 25:58
  going
• 25:59
  through
• 25:59
  sump
• 25:59
  pumps,
• 26:00
  but
• 26:00
  they
• 26:00
  were
• 26:00
  going
• 26:01
  through
• 26:01
  good
• 26:01
  sump
• 26:01
  pumps
• 26:01
  like
• 26:01
  zoellers
• 26:02
  every
• 26:02
  couple
• 26:02
  of
• 26:02
  years.
• 26:03
  And
• 26:03
  I'm
• 26:03
  like,
• 26:03
  oh,
• 26:04
  something's
• 26:04
  up.
• 26:05
  So
• 26:05
  go
• 26:05
  in
• 26:05
  there
• 26:05
  and
• 26:05
  I
• 26:06
  look
• 26:06
  it
• 26:06
  up
• 26:06
  and
• 26:06
  I'm
• 26:06
  like,
• 26:06
  well,
• 26:07
  you
• 26:07
  got
• 26:07
  a
• 26:07
  lot
• 26:07
  of
• 26:07
  dirt
• 26:07
  in
• 26:07
  the
• 26:08
  bottom
• 26:08
  of
• 26:08
  this.
• 26:08
  So
• 26:08
  I
• 26:09
  went
• 26:09
  around
• 26:09
  and
• 26:09
  peeled
• 26:10
  stuff
• 26:10
  back,
• 26:11
  put
• 26:11
  my
• 26:11
  inspection
• 26:12
  cam
• 26:12
  under
• 26:12
  the
• 26:13
  foundation
• 26:13
  wall
• 26:13
  and
• 26:14
  they
• 26:14
  had
• 26:14
  a
• 26:14
  12
• 26:14
  by
• 26:15
  24
• 26:15
  inch
• 26:15
  void
• 26:16
  under
• 26:17
  the
• 26:17
  entire
• 26:18
  foundation
• 26:19
  wall.
• 26:19
  This
• 26:19
  1920s
• 26:20
  home.
• 26:20
  Wow.
• 26:21
  Water
• 26:21
  had
• 26:21
  been
• 26:22
  coming
• 26:22
  in
• 26:22
  underneath
• 26:23
  that
• 26:23
  and
• 26:24
  just
• 26:24
  washing
• 26:25
  it
• 26:25
  out.
• 26:25
  Yeah,
• 26:26
  washing
• 26:26
  it
• 26:26
  out.
• 26:27
  So
• 26:27
  the
• 26:27
  only
• 26:28
  thing
• 26:28
  holding
• 26:29
  up
• 26:29
  this
• 26:30
  was
• 26:30
  the
• 26:30
  tension
• 26:31
  from
• 26:31
  the
• 26:31
  dirt
• 26:31
  outside
• 26:32
  and
• 26:33
  the
• 26:33
  slab
• 26:33
  that
• 26:33
  was
• 26:34
  holding
• 26:34
  things,
• 26:34
  were
• 26:35
  they
• 26:35
  there?
• 26:35
  And
• 26:35
  I
• 26:35
  just
• 26:35
  went,
• 26:36
  man,
• 26:36
  you
• 26:36
  got
• 26:37
  a
• 26:37
  huge
• 26:37
  problem
• 26:37
  here
• 26:38
  and
• 26:38
  you
• 26:38
  need
• 26:38
  to
• 26:38
  go
• 26:39
  talk
• 26:39
  to
• 26:39
  an
• 26:40
  engineer
• 26:40
  and
• 26:40
  an
• 26:40
  attorney
• 26:41
  at
• 26:41
  the
• 26:41
  same
• 26:41
  time.
• 26:42
  Yep,
• 26:42
  exactly
• 26:43
  right.
• 26:43
  Because
• 26:44
  you
• 26:44
  got
• 26:44
  a
• 26:44
  big
• 26:44
  problem.
• 26:44
  Because.
• 26:45
  What
• 26:45
  do
• 26:45
  you
• 26:45
  mean?
• 26:45
  I
• 26:45
  go
• 26:45
  look
• 26:45
  at
• 26:45
  my
• 26:46
  camera
• 26:46
  right
• 26:46
  here.
• 26:46
  And
• 26:46
  that
• 26:46
  inspection
• 26:47
  camera
• 26:47
  told
• 26:47
  so
• 26:48
  many
• 26:48
  things.
• 26:48
  I'm
• 26:48
  like,
• 26:48
  there
• 26:49
  is.
• 26:49
  Your
• 26:50
  house
• 26:50
  is
• 26:50
  floating
• 26:50
  on
• 26:51
  air
• 26:51
  right
• 26:51
  now
• 26:51
  and
• 26:52
  if
• 26:52
  we
• 26:52
  have
• 26:52
  a
• 26:52
  small
• 26:53
  earthquake,
• 26:54
  those
• 26:54
  posts
• 26:55
  are
• 26:55
  on
• 26:55
  the
• 26:55
  slab.
• 26:55
  So
• 26:55
  it's
• 26:56
  going
• 26:56
  to
• 26:56
  push
• 26:56
  up
• 26:56
  that
• 26:57
  foot.
• 26:57
  So
• 26:57
  you're
• 26:57
  gonna
• 26:57
  have
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  serious
• 26:58
  problem.
• 26:58
  And
• 26:58
  I
• 26:58
  didn't,
• 26:59
  don't
• 26:59
  know
• 26:59
  what
• 26:59
  happened
• 26:59
  after
• 27:00
  that,
• 27:00
  but
• 27:00
  I
• 27:00
  felt
• 27:00
  bad
• 27:01
  because
• 27:01
  that
• 27:01
  was
• 27:02
  probably
• 27:02
  a
• 27:02
  house
• 27:02
  that
• 27:03
  needed
• 27:03
  a
• 27:03
  new
• 27:03
  foundation.
• 27:04
  Yeah.
• 27:04
  And
• 27:05
  that's
• 27:05
  a
• 27:05
  total
• 27:05
  rebuild.
• 27:06
  You
• 27:06
  know,
• 27:06
  that's
• 27:06
  not
• 27:07
  a
• 27:07
  cheap
• 27:07
  fix.
• 27:08
  You
• 27:08
  know,
• 27:08
  I've
• 27:08
  done
• 27:09
  in
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  past
• 27:09
  on
• 27:10
  those
• 27:10
  situations.
• 27:10
  I
• 27:10
  don't
• 27:10
  know
• 27:11
  if
• 27:11
  you've
• 27:11
  ever
• 27:11
  done
• 27:11
  this
• 27:11
  before.
• 27:12
  We
• 27:12
  did
• 27:12
  new
• 27:13
  interior
• 27:13
  foundations.
• 27:14
  Have
• 27:14
  you
• 27:14
  ever
• 27:14
  seen
• 27:14
  that
• 27:15
  done?
• 27:15
  Yeah,
• 27:15
  I
• 27:16
  haven't
• 27:16
  done
• 27:16
  too
• 27:16
  much
• 27:16
  of
• 27:17
  that.
• 27:17
  One
• 27:17
  of
• 27:17
  the
• 27:17
  things
• 27:17
  that
• 27:18
  we
• 27:18
  did
• 27:18
  is
• 27:18
  we
• 27:18
  used
• 27:19
  a
• 27:19
  modified
• 27:19
  push
• 27:20
  pier
• 27:20
  and
• 27:21
  drove
• 27:21
  it
• 27:21
  down
• 27:22
  on
• 27:22
  the
• 27:23
  interior
• 27:23
  in
• 27:23
  the
• 27:23
  crawl
• 27:24
  space.
• 27:24
  And
• 27:24
  that
• 27:24
  worked
• 27:25
  pretty
• 27:25
  dang
• 27:25
  good.
• 27:26
  Yeah.
• 27:26
  Nice.
• 27:27
  We've
• 27:27
  done
• 27:27
  those
• 27:28
  in
• 27:28
  the
• 27:28
  past
• 27:28
  where
• 27:28
  it's
• 27:29
  maybe
• 27:30
  a
• 27:30
  historical
• 27:30
  building
• 27:31
  and
• 27:31
  it's
• 27:31
  brick
• 27:31
  on
• 27:32
  the
• 27:32
  outside,
• 27:32
  and
• 27:32
  it's
• 27:33
  all
• 27:33
  coming
• 27:33
  apart.
• 27:34
  And
• 27:34
  you
• 27:34
  still
• 27:35
  try
• 27:35
  to.
• 27:35
  Had
• 27:35
  to.
• 27:35
  Instead
• 27:36
  of
• 27:36
  them
• 27:36
  coming
• 27:36
  in
• 27:36
  and
• 27:37
  lifting
• 27:37
  the
• 27:37
  house
• 27:37
  up
• 27:37
  and
• 27:38
  doing
• 27:38
  the
• 27:38
  brick
• 27:38
  because
• 27:38
  it
• 27:38
  was
• 27:39
  historical,
• 27:40
  doing
• 27:40
  it
• 27:40
  on
• 27:40
  the
• 27:40
  inside
• 27:41
  to
• 27:41
  do
• 27:41
  it.
• 27:41
  But
• 27:41
  the
• 27:41
  problem
• 27:41
  is,
• 27:42
  one,
• 27:42
  you
• 27:42
  got
• 27:42
  to
• 27:42
  gut
• 27:42
  the
• 27:43
  house
• 27:43
  down
• 27:43
  there,
• 27:43
  take
• 27:44
  all
• 27:44
  the
• 27:44
  H
• 27:44
  vac
• 27:44
  or
• 27:45
  whatever's
• 27:45
  in
• 27:45
  the
• 27:45
  basement,
• 27:46
  and
• 27:46
  it's
• 27:46
  a
• 27:46
  quite
• 27:46
  the
• 27:47
  big
• 27:47
  project.
• 27:47
  But
• 27:48
  better
• 27:48
  than
• 27:48
  jacking
• 27:48
  the
• 27:49
  house
• 27:49
  up
• 27:49
  and
• 27:49
  moving
• 27:49
  everybody
• 27:49
  out
• 27:50
  of
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  house,
• 27:50
  right?
• 27:51
  Yeah,
• 27:51
  that's
• 27:51
  right.
• 27:52
  What
• 27:52
  do
• 27:52
  you
• 27:53
  think
• 27:53
  of
• 27:53
  carbon
• 27:53
  fiber
• 27:54
  as
• 27:54
  a
• 27:54
  repair
• 27:54
  tool
• 27:55
  out
• 27:55
  there
• 27:55
  for
• 27:55
  cracks?
• 27:56
  Have
• 27:56
  you
• 27:56
  used
• 27:56
  that
• 27:56
  a
• 27:57
  lot?
• 27:57
  Sure,
• 27:58
  yeah.
• 27:58
  Carbon
• 27:58
  fiber
• 27:59
  is
• 27:59
  a
• 27:59
  great
• 27:59
  tool.
• 28:00
  You
• 28:00
  just
• 28:00
  got
• 28:00
  to
• 28:00
  know
• 28:00
  when
• 28:00
  to
• 28:01
  use
• 28:01
  it.
• 28:01
  Right.
• 28:01
  Sometimes
• 28:02
  people
• 28:02
  think
• 28:02
  it's
• 28:02
  great
• 28:02
  for
• 28:03
  everything,
• 28:03
  and
• 28:03
  it's
• 28:03
  not.
• 28:04
  It's
• 28:04
  a
• 28:05
  very
• 28:05
  strong
• 28:05
  product,
• 28:06
  10
• 28:06
  times
• 28:06
  stronger
• 28:07
  than
• 28:07
  steel
• 28:07
  for
• 28:07
  the
• 28:07
  weight,
• 28:08
  and
• 28:09
  it.
• 28:09
  It
• 28:09
  works
• 28:09
  great.
• 28:10
  I
• 28:10
  have
• 28:10
  a
• 28:10
  3D
• 28:10
  printer
• 28:11
  that
• 28:11
  prints
• 28:11
  3D
• 28:12
  carbon
• 28:12
  fiber
• 28:13
  pieces,
• 28:14
  and
• 28:14
  that's
• 28:14
  for
• 28:14
  another
• 28:14
  system
• 28:15
  that
• 28:15
  I'm
• 28:15
  working
• 28:15
  on.
• 28:16
  But,
• 28:16
  yeah,
• 28:17
  it's
• 28:17
  great.
• 28:18
  I
• 28:18
  used
• 28:18
  it
• 28:18
  in
• 28:18
  slabs
• 28:19
  a
• 28:19
  lot.
• 28:19
  So
• 28:19
  I
• 28:20
  would
• 28:20
  use
• 28:20
  a
• 28:20
  laminate,
• 28:21
  which
• 28:21
  is
• 28:21
  like
• 28:21
  a
• 28:21
  16th
• 28:22
  of
• 28:22
  an
• 28:22
  inch
• 28:23
  by
• 28:23
  18
• 28:24
  inches
• 28:24
  long
• 28:24
  by
• 28:25
  2
• 28:25
  inches
• 28:25
  tall.
• 28:26
  And.
• 28:26
  And
• 28:27
  it's
• 28:27
  extruded.
• 28:28
  So
• 28:28
  it's
• 28:28
  more
• 28:28
  carbon
• 28:29
  fiber
• 28:29
  than
• 28:29
  epoxy,
• 28:29
  which,
• 28:30
  strangely
• 28:31
  enough,
• 28:31
  makes
• 28:31
  it
• 28:31
  stronger
• 28:31
  because
• 28:32
  the.
• 28:32
  The
• 28:32
  carbon
• 28:32
  fiber
• 28:33
  is
• 28:33
  stronger
• 28:33
  than
• 28:33
  the
• 28:33
  epoxy.
• 28:34
  Exactly.
• 28:35
  So
• 28:35
  when
• 28:35
  you
• 28:35
  extrude
• 28:35
  it,
• 28:36
  you
• 28:36
  get
• 28:36
  about
• 28:37
  seven
• 28:37
  times
• 28:37
  the
• 28:38
  strength
• 28:38
  of
• 28:38
  regular
• 28:38
  carbon
• 28:39
  fiber.
• 28:39
  And
• 28:40
  what
• 28:40
  you
• 28:40
  do
• 28:40
  is
• 28:41
  if
• 28:41
  you
• 28:41
  have
• 28:41
  a
• 28:41
  crack
• 28:41
  that
• 28:42
  snakes
• 28:42
  across
• 28:42
  the
• 28:43
  floor,
• 28:43
  you
• 28:44
  saw
• 28:44
  cut
• 28:45
  these
• 28:45
  channels
• 28:46
  in
• 28:46
  and
• 28:46
  you
• 28:46
  just
• 28:46
  slip
• 28:47
  them
• 28:47
  in.
• 28:47
  The
• 28:47
  old
• 28:47
  way
• 28:48
  is
• 28:48
  to
• 28:48
  cut
• 28:49
  it
• 28:49
  a
• 28:49
  1
• 28:50
  inch,
• 28:50
  chisel
• 28:51
  it
• 28:51
  out,
• 28:51
  throw
• 28:51
  a
• 28:52
  rebar
• 28:52
  in
• 28:52
  there,
• 28:52
  and
• 28:52
  epoxy
• 28:53
  it
• 28:53
  in.
• 28:54
  Yeah,
• 28:54
  that's
• 28:54
  really
• 28:55
  a
• 28:55
  really
• 28:56
  difficult
• 28:57
  and
• 28:57
  odd.
• 28:57
  We
• 28:58
  would
• 28:58
  just
• 28:58
  saw.
• 28:58
  Cut
• 28:59
  it,
• 28:59
  slide
• 29:00
  these
• 29:00
  in,
• 29:01
  and
• 29:01
  we
• 29:01
  would
• 29:01
  use
• 29:01
  a
• 29:02
  polyurea
• 29:02
  instead
• 29:03
  of
• 29:03
  an
• 29:03
  epoxy.
• 29:03
  And
• 29:03
  a
• 29:03
  polyurea
• 29:04
  sets
• 29:04
  up
• 29:05
  very
• 29:05
  quickly.
• 29:06
  And
• 29:06
  it's
• 29:07
  so
• 29:07
  thin,
• 29:07
  it's
• 29:08
  like
• 29:08
  thinner
• 29:08
  than
• 29:09
  water
• 29:09
  almost.
• 29:09
  It's
• 29:10
  about
• 29:10
  the
• 29:10
  same,
• 29:10
  I
• 29:11
  think,
• 29:11
  20
• 29:11
  center
• 29:11
  points.
• 29:12
  And
• 29:12
  it
• 29:13
  soaks
• 29:13
  into
• 29:13
  the
• 29:14
  concrete
• 29:14
  around
• 29:15
  it
• 29:15
  when
• 29:15
  it
• 29:15
  goes
• 29:15
  into
• 29:16
  the
• 29:16
  channels
• 29:17
  and
• 29:18
  creates
• 29:19
  a
• 29:19
  bond
• 29:21
  that
• 29:21
  is
• 29:21
  super,
• 29:22
  super
• 29:22
  strong.
• 29:23
  And
• 29:24
  epoxy
• 29:25
  is
• 29:25
  stronger
• 29:26
  than
• 29:26
  polyureas,
• 29:27
  but
• 29:27
  it
• 29:28
  doesn't
• 29:28
  go
• 29:28
  into
• 29:28
  the
• 29:29
  pores.
• 29:29
  And
• 29:30
  so
• 29:30
  you
• 29:30
  have
• 29:30
  a
• 29:31
  failure
• 29:31
  of
• 29:31
  adhesion.
• 29:32
  Yeah.
• 29:33
  You
• 29:33
  can
• 29:33
  grab
• 29:34
  10
• 29:34
  times
• 29:34
  the
• 29:35
  concrete.
• 29:35
  Right,
• 29:36
  right.
• 29:37
  And
• 29:37
  the
• 29:37
  key
• 29:38
  is
• 29:38
  to
• 29:38
  put
• 29:38
  these
• 29:38
  in,
• 29:39
  not
• 29:39
  parallel,
• 29:39
  but
• 29:40
  skew
• 29:40
  them.
• 29:41
  And
• 29:41
  that
• 29:41
  way
• 29:41
  they
• 29:41
  can't
• 29:42
  slide.
• 29:43
  And
• 29:43
  I'm
• 29:44
  gonna
• 29:44
  tell
• 29:44
  you,
• 29:44
  that's
• 29:44
  a
• 29:44
  great
• 29:45
  system.
• 29:45
  It's
• 29:45
  worked
• 29:46
  great.
• 29:46
  I
• 29:46
  had
• 29:47
  very
• 29:47
  few
• 29:47
  problems
• 29:48
  with
• 29:48
  those
• 29:48
  over
• 29:48
  35
• 29:49
  years.
• 29:50
  All
• 29:50
  you're
• 29:50
  doing
• 29:50
  is
• 29:50
  basically
• 29:51
  stitching
• 29:52
  it
• 29:52
  back
• 29:52
  together.
• 29:53
  Right.
• 29:53
  That
• 29:53
  is
• 29:54
  brilliant.
• 29:54
  That
• 29:54
  is
• 29:55
  brilliant.
• 29:55
  I've
• 29:55
  used.
• 29:56
  A
• 29:56
  couple
• 29:56
  times,
• 29:56
  I've
• 29:57
  used
• 29:57
  the
• 29:57
  little
• 29:57
  barbell,
• 29:58
  you
• 29:58
  know,
• 29:58
  the.
• 29:59
  Oh,
• 29:59
  yeah,
• 30:00
  that
• 30:00
  stuff
• 30:01
  before.
• 30:02
  And
• 30:02
  those
• 30:02
  worked.
• 30:02
  Okay.
• 30:03
  But
• 30:03
  your
• 30:03
  system
• 30:03
  is
• 30:04
  way
• 30:04
  better
• 30:04
  than
• 30:04
  that.
• 30:05
  Yeah,
• 30:05
  I
• 30:05
  know
• 30:05
  what
• 30:06
  your
• 30:06
  system
• 30:06
  you're
• 30:06
  referring
• 30:06
  to.
• 30:07
  They
• 30:07
  copied
• 30:07
  my
• 30:07
  system.
• 30:08
  Did
• 30:09
  they?
• 30:09
  Okay,
• 30:09
  that's
• 30:10
  probably
• 30:10
  where
• 30:11
  they
• 30:11
  got
• 30:11
  it.
• 30:11
  I
• 30:11
  get
• 30:11
  it.
• 30:12
  Yeah.
• 30:13
  That's
• 30:13
  crazy.
• 30:13
  Canadians.
• 30:14
  But
• 30:15
  I've
• 30:15
  used
• 30:15
  it
• 30:15
  a
• 30:15
  few
• 30:16
  times,
• 30:16
  and
• 30:16
  there's
• 30:16
  a
• 30:16
  product
• 30:17
  that
• 30:17
  I've
• 30:17
  been
• 30:17
  using.
• 30:18
  I
• 30:18
  did
• 30:18
  it
• 30:18
  on
• 30:18
  one
• 30:18
  project.
• 30:19
  It
• 30:19
  was
• 30:19
  probably
• 30:19
  the
• 30:20
  hardest
• 30:20
  material
• 30:21
  I've
• 30:21
  ever
• 30:21
  worked
• 30:21
  with.
• 30:22
  And
• 30:22
  Simpson
• 30:22
  Strong
• 30:23
  tie
• 30:23
  had
• 30:23
  came
• 30:23
  out
• 30:23
  with
• 30:24
  it.
• 30:24
  And
• 30:24
  I
• 30:24
  don't
• 30:24
  know
• 30:24
  if
• 30:25
  you've
• 30:25
  seen
• 30:25
  this
• 30:25
  before
• 30:26
  out
• 30:26
  there.
• 30:26
  It
• 30:26
  is
• 30:27
  a.
• 30:27
  If
• 30:28
  you've
• 30:28
  got
• 30:28
  a.
• 30:28
  Like
• 30:29
  a
• 30:29
  brick
• 30:29
  building
• 30:29
  and
• 30:30
  you
• 30:30
  want
• 30:30
  to
• 30:30
  make
• 30:30
  it
• 30:30
  where.
• 30:31
  Or
• 30:31
  a
• 30:31
  brick
• 30:31
  foundation,
• 30:32
  you
• 30:32
  want
• 30:32
  to
• 30:32
  make
• 30:32
  it
• 30:32
  so
• 30:33
  it's
• 30:33
  going
• 30:33
  to
• 30:33
  hold
• 30:33
  up
• 30:34
  to
• 30:34
  an
• 30:34
  earthquake.
• 30:35
  There's
• 30:35
  that
• 30:35
  carbon
• 30:36
  fiber
• 30:37
  spray
• 30:37
  that
• 30:37
  they
• 30:38
  spray
• 30:38
  on
• 30:38
  with.
• 30:39
  It's
• 30:39
  got
• 30:40
  carbon
• 30:40
  fiber
• 30:41
  concrete,
• 30:41
  and
• 30:42
  then
• 30:42
  they
• 30:42
  put
• 30:42
  a
• 30:42
  carbon
• 30:43
  fiber
• 30:43
  mesh
• 30:44
  on
• 30:44
  it.
• 30:44
  Oh,
• 30:44
  yeah.
• 30:45
  And
• 30:45
  so
• 30:46
  then
• 30:46
  they
• 30:46
  plaster
• 30:46
  it
• 30:47
  to
• 30:47
  the
• 30:47
  wall.
• 30:47
  There's
• 30:50
  a
• 30:50
  good
• 30:51
  case
• 30:51
  for
• 30:51
  that
• 30:51
  because
• 30:51
  what
• 30:52
  it
• 30:52
  does
• 30:52
  is
• 30:52
  it
• 30:52
  puts
• 30:53
  everything
• 30:53
  in
• 30:54
  confinement
• 30:55
  and
• 30:55
  hold
• 30:56
  and
• 30:56
  keeps
• 30:56
  it
• 30:56
  all
• 30:57
  together.
• 30:57
  So
• 30:58
  I
• 30:58
  would
• 30:58
  say
• 30:58
  that
• 30:59
  if
• 30:59
  it's
• 30:59
  done
• 30:59
  right,
• 31:00
  that's
• 31:00
  probably
• 31:00
  a
• 31:01
  good
• 31:01
  system.
• 31:02
  But
• 31:02
  really,
• 31:02
  to
• 31:02
  be
• 31:03
  done
• 31:03
  right,
• 31:03
  you
• 31:03
  need
• 31:03
  to
• 31:03
  do
• 31:03
  it
• 31:04
  on
• 31:04
  both
• 31:04
  sides,
• 31:04
  which
• 31:04
  is
• 31:05
  probably
• 31:05
  hard
• 31:05
  to
• 31:05
  do.
• 31:06
  Yeah.
• 31:06
  And
• 31:06
  I
• 31:06
  tell
• 31:06
  you
• 31:06
  what,
• 31:07
  there
• 31:07
  is
• 31:07
  not
• 31:08
  a
• 31:08
  harder
• 31:08
  material
• 31:09
  I've
• 31:09
  ever
• 31:09
  worked
• 31:09
  with
• 31:10
  than
• 31:10
  that.
• 31:11
  Yeah.
• 31:11
  I
• 31:11
  can
• 31:12
  get
• 31:13
  the
• 31:13
  mix
• 31:13
  incorrectly.
• 31:14
  And
• 31:15
  that
• 31:15
  carbon
• 31:15
  fiber
• 31:16
  being
• 31:16
  so
• 31:17
  fibrous,
• 31:17
  it
• 31:17
  loves
• 31:18
  to
• 31:18
  plug
• 31:18
  everything
• 31:18
  up.
• 31:19
  Yep.
• 31:19
  We
• 31:20
  sat
• 31:20
  outside
• 31:20
  for
• 31:21
  about
• 31:21
  eight
• 31:21
  hours
• 31:21
  one
• 31:21
  day
• 31:22
  with
• 31:22
  the
• 31:22
  right
• 31:22
  sprayer
• 31:23
  and
• 31:23
  everything
• 31:23
  else,
• 31:23
  and
• 31:23
  I'm
• 31:24
  like,
• 31:24
  this
• 31:24
  is
• 31:24
  the
• 31:25
  most
• 31:25
  frustrating
• 31:25
  product
• 31:26
  I've
• 31:26
  ever
• 31:26
  worked
• 31:26
  with.
• 31:27
  And
• 31:27
  I'm
• 31:27
  sure
• 31:27
  they've
• 31:28
  got
• 31:28
  it
• 31:28
  better.
• 31:28
  Now
• 31:28
  is
• 31:28
  when
• 31:29
  it
• 31:29
  was
• 31:29
  first
• 31:29
  coming
• 31:29
  on
• 31:29
  the
• 31:29
  market.
• 31:30
  So
• 31:30
  this
• 31:30
  was
• 31:30
  a
• 31:30
  number
• 31:30
  of
• 31:31
  years
• 31:31
  ago,
• 31:31
  but
• 31:32
  anytime
• 31:33
  that
• 31:33
  we
• 31:33
  can
• 31:33
  come
• 31:33
  up
• 31:33
  with
• 31:33
  a
• 31:33
  product
• 31:34
  that's
• 31:34
  going
• 31:34
  to
• 31:34
  help
• 31:34
  people
• 31:35
  in
• 31:35
  earthquake
• 31:35
  or
• 31:35
  hurricane
• 31:36
  areas
• 31:36
  like
• 31:36
  that,
• 31:37
  to
• 31:37
  be
• 31:37
  able
• 31:37
  to
• 31:37
  hold
• 31:37
  up
• 31:37
  to
• 31:38
  Older
• 31:39
  brick
• 31:39
  buildings.
• 31:39
  I
• 31:39
  think
• 31:39
  it's
• 31:40
  great.
• 31:40
  I
• 31:40
  think,
• 31:41
  speaking
• 31:41
  of
• 31:41
  that,
• 31:42
  quite
• 31:42
  often
• 31:43
  have
• 31:43
  you
• 31:44
  been
• 31:44
  to
• 31:44
  a.
• 31:44
  Like
• 31:45
  a
• 31:45
  stem
• 31:45
  wall
• 31:45
  and
• 31:45
  you
• 31:46
  see
• 31:46
  a
• 31:46
  horizontal
• 31:46
  crack
• 31:47
  right
• 31:47
  above
• 31:47
  the
• 31:47
  dirt.
• 31:48
  Okay.
• 31:49
  And
• 31:49
  that
• 31:50
  is
• 31:50
  the
• 31:50
  rebar
• 31:51
  rusting.
• 31:51
  It's
• 31:51
  called
• 31:52
  rust
• 31:52
  jacking.
• 31:53
  And
• 31:53
  so
• 31:53
  what
• 31:53
  you
• 31:54
  really
• 31:54
  need
• 31:54
  to
• 31:54
  do
• 31:55
  is
• 31:55
  take
• 31:55
  that
• 31:55
  rebar
• 31:56
  out
• 31:56
  and
• 31:56
  put
• 31:56
  a
• 31:56
  composite
• 31:57
  rebar
• 31:57
  in
• 31:57
  its
• 31:57
  place,
• 31:58
  which
• 31:58
  is
• 31:58
  easy
• 31:58
  to
• 31:58
  do.
• 31:59
  Anybody
• 31:59
  can
• 31:59
  do
• 31:59
  it,
• 32:00
  right?
• 32:00
  Yeah.
• 32:00
  But
• 32:01
  now
• 32:01
  what
• 32:01
  do
• 32:01
  you
• 32:01
  do
• 32:02
  when
• 32:02
  you
• 32:02
  get
• 32:03
  to
• 32:03
  the
• 32:03
  hold
• 32:03
  down
• 32:03
  straps?
• 32:04
  Right.
• 32:04
  Because
• 32:05
  those
• 32:05
  are
• 32:05
  made
• 32:05
  of
• 32:05
  galvanized.
• 32:06
  They're
• 32:06
  steel
• 32:07
  with
• 32:07
  a
• 32:07
  little
• 32:07
  galvanized
• 32:08
  coating
• 32:08
  on
• 32:08
  them.
• 32:09
  And
• 32:09
  that
• 32:09
  galvanized
• 32:09
  coating
• 32:10
  is
• 32:10
  gone
• 32:10
  after
• 32:11
  two
• 32:11
  years.
• 32:12
  And.
• 32:13
  And
• 32:13
  now
• 32:13
  those
• 32:13
  straps
• 32:14
  are
• 32:14
  super
• 32:14
  thin.
• 32:15
  I've
• 32:15
  never
• 32:16
  seen
• 32:16
  any
• 32:16
  of
• 32:16
  them
• 32:16
  last
• 32:16
  more
• 32:17
  than
• 32:17
  a
• 32:17
  couple
• 32:17
  of
• 32:17
  years.
• 32:18
  And
• 32:19
  how
• 32:19
  do
• 32:19
  you
• 32:19
  replace
• 32:20
  them?
• 32:20
  Well,
• 32:20
  that
• 32:20
  means
• 32:21
  if
• 32:21
  it's
• 32:21
  a
• 32:21
  frame
• 32:21
  stucco
• 32:22
  house,
• 32:22
  you
• 32:23
  got
• 32:23
  to
• 32:23
  go
• 32:24
  up
• 32:24
  the
• 32:24
  stucco,
• 32:25
  peel
• 32:25
  back
• 32:25
  the
• 32:26
  lath
• 32:26
  and
• 32:26
  the
• 32:26
  wire,
• 32:27
  remove
• 32:28
  the
• 32:28
  old
• 32:28
  strap,
• 32:28
  put
• 32:29
  a
• 32:29
  new
• 32:29
  strap
• 32:29
  in,
• 32:29
  put
• 32:30
  the
• 32:30
  wire
• 32:30
  and
• 32:30
  paper
• 32:30
  back,
• 32:31
  stucco
• 32:31
  it
• 32:32
  to
• 32:32
  match.
• 32:32
  Hard
• 32:33
  to
• 32:33
  do.
• 32:33
  Paint
• 32:34
  it
• 32:34
  to
• 32:34
  match.
• 32:34
  Hard
• 32:34
  to
• 32:35
  do.
• 32:35
  And
• 32:36
  then
• 32:36
  put
• 32:36
  all
• 32:36
  that
• 32:37
  back
• 32:37
  in
• 32:37
  and
• 32:38
  hope
• 32:38
  that
• 32:38
  it
• 32:38
  lasts
• 32:38
  another
• 32:39
  three
• 32:39
  years,
• 32:39
  which
• 32:39
  is
• 32:40
  crazy.
• 32:40
  So
• 32:41
  what
• 32:41
  I
• 32:41
  did
• 32:42
  is
• 32:42
  I
• 32:42
  developed
• 32:42
  a
• 32:42
  carbon
• 32:43
  fiber
• 32:43
  product
• 32:44
  called
• 32:44
  the
• 32:44
  Never
• 32:44
  Rust
• 32:45
  that
• 32:46
  goes
• 32:46
  from
• 32:46
  the
• 32:46
  underside.
• 32:47
  It
• 32:48
  has
• 32:48
  screws
• 32:48
  that
• 32:49
  go
• 32:49
  up
• 32:49
  through
• 32:49
  the
• 32:50
  base
• 32:50
  plate
• 32:50
  and
• 32:50
  into
• 32:51
  the
• 32:51
  studs
• 32:51
  on
• 32:51
  an
• 32:51
  angle.
• 32:52
  They
• 32:52
  cross
• 32:52
  each
• 32:52
  other,
• 32:53
  and
• 32:54
  then
• 32:54
  this
• 32:54
  hangs
• 32:55
  down
• 32:55
  inside
• 32:55
  the
• 32:56
  concrete.
• 32:56
  And
• 32:57
  the
• 32:57
  fiberglass
• 32:58
  rebar
• 32:58
  that
• 32:58
  runs
• 32:58
  through
• 32:59
  it
• 33:00
  has
• 33:00
  holes
• 33:00
  that
• 33:00
  runs
• 33:01
  through
• 33:01
  it.
• 33:01
  So
• 33:01
  now
• 33:01
  the
• 33:01
  rebar,
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  fiberglass
• 33:03
  rebar,
• 33:03
  is
• 33:03
  part
• 33:03
  of
• 33:03
  the
• 33:03
  hold
• 33:04
  down
• 33:04
  system,
• 33:05
  and
• 33:05
  really
• 33:05
  slick,
• 33:06
  really
• 33:06
  sharp.
• 33:07
  And
• 33:07
  I'm
• 33:08
  hoping
• 33:08
  that
• 33:08
  as
• 33:09
  people
• 33:09
  start
• 33:09
  to
• 33:09
  realize
• 33:10
  that
• 33:10
  this
• 33:10
  is
• 33:10
  a
• 33:10
  problem,
• 33:11
  that
• 33:11
  they'll
• 33:12
  figure
• 33:12
  out
• 33:12
  this
• 33:12
  is
• 33:12
  a.
• 33:12
  Good
• 33:13
  solution
• 33:13
  for
• 33:13
  it,
• 33:14
  especially
• 33:14
  in
• 33:14
  coastal
• 33:15
  areas
• 33:15
  where
• 33:15
  it's
• 33:16
  not
• 33:16
  even
• 33:16
  going
• 33:16
  to
• 33:16
  last
• 33:16
  that
• 33:17
  long.
• 33:17
  Right.
• 33:17
  You
• 33:17
  get
• 33:17
  that
• 33:17
  salt
• 33:18
  water
• 33:18
  out
• 33:18
  there.
• 33:18
  Yep.
• 33:19
  That
• 33:19
  galvanized
• 33:20
  doesn't
• 33:20
  have.
• 33:21
  There's
• 33:21
  a
• 33:21
  reason
• 33:21
  why
• 33:22
  roofing
• 33:22
  companies
• 33:22
  say
• 33:23
  in
• 33:23
  coastal
• 33:23
  areas
• 33:23
  to
• 33:24
  use
• 33:24
  stainless
• 33:24
  steel
• 33:24
  nails,
• 33:25
  because
• 33:26
  1.
• 33:27
  And
• 33:27
  then
• 33:27
  you
• 33:27
  want
• 33:27
  to
• 33:27
  use
• 33:27
  something
• 33:28
  structural
• 33:29
  that
• 33:29
  is
• 33:29
  brilliant,
• 33:29
  and
• 33:30
  it
• 33:30
  doesn't
• 33:30
  care
• 33:30
  if
• 33:30
  it's
• 33:31
  salt
• 33:31
  water
• 33:31
  or
• 33:31
  not,
• 33:32
  Right?
• 33:32
  Yeah.
• 33:33
  That
• 33:33
  makes
• 33:33
  no
• 33:33
  difference,
• 33:34
  right,
• 33:34
  Bob,
• 33:35

  One

  the

  things
• 33:41
  that
• 33:41
  I
• 33:42
  think
• 33:42
  is
• 33:43
  problematic
• 33:44
  and
• 33:44
  I'm
• 33:45
  gonna.
• 33:45
  I'm
• 33:45

  I

  have
• 33:52
  a
• 33:52
  picture

  I

  real
• 33:54
  estate
• 33:54
  agent's
• 33:54
  name
• 33:55
  off.
• 33:55
  There
• 33:56
  was
• 33:56
  a
• 33:56
  crack
• 33:56
  in
• 33:56
  this
• 33:56
  old
• 33:57
  house.
• 33:57
  Foundation
• 33:58
  that
• 33:58
  someone
• 33:58
  had
• 33:59
  nicely
• 33:59
  painted
• 33:59
  up
• 34:00
  to
• 34:00
  look
• 34:00
  really
• 34:00
  pretty,
• 34:01
  that
• 34:01
  I
• 34:01
  could
• 34:01
  put
• 34:01
  my
• 34:02
  fingers
• 34:02
  in
• 34:02
  the
• 34:02
  hole
• 34:03
  all
• 34:03
  the
• 34:03
  way
• 34:03
  down.
• 34:04
  And
• 34:04
  they
• 34:04
  had
• 34:04
  printed
• 34:04
  up
• 34:04
  a
• 34:05
  nice
• 34:05
  little
• 34:05
  sign
• 34:05
  that
• 34:06
  says,
• 34:06
  this
• 34:06
  crack
• 34:06
  has
• 34:06
  been
• 34:06
  here
• 34:07
  for
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  entire
• 34:07
  lifetime
• 34:08
  of
• 34:08
  the
• 34:08
  house,
• 34:08
  has
• 34:08
  caused
• 34:08
  no
• 34:09
  problems.
• 34:09
  And
• 34:10
  I'm
• 34:10
  like,
• 34:11
  yeah,
• 34:11
  really?
• 34:12
  I,
• 34:13
  you
• 34:13
  know,
• 34:13
  I
• 34:13
  do
• 34:13
  the
• 34:14
  training
• 34:14
  for
• 34:14
  home
• 34:14
  inspectors
• 34:15
  and
• 34:15
  for

  realtors
• 34:16
  for
• 34:16
  their
• 34:16
  license
• 34:17
  renewals.
• 34:18
  And
• 34:18
  the
• 34:19
  first
• 34:19
  thing
• 34:19
  I
• 34:19
  tell
• 34:19
  realtors
• 34:20
  is
• 34:20
  never
• 34:20
  opine
• 34:21
  about
• 34:21
  any
• 34:21
  crack.
• 34:22
  Never
• 34:22
  try
• 34:23
  to
• 34:23
  characterize
• 34:23
  it.
• 34:24
  Never
• 34:24
  try
• 34:24
  to
• 34:24
  say
• 34:25
  it's
• 34:25
  normal.
• 34:25
  Never.
• 34:26
  Don't
• 34:26
  talk
• 34:26
  about
• 34:26
  that.
• 34:26
  I
• 34:27
  had
• 34:27
  one
• 34:27
  realtor
• 34:27
  say,
• 34:28
  well,
• 34:28
  if
• 34:28
  a
• 34:28
  crack
• 34:29
  is
• 34:29
  horizontal,
• 34:30
  it's
• 34:30
  bad.
• 34:30
  If
• 34:30
  it's
• 34:30
  stair
• 34:31
  step,
• 34:31
  it's
• 34:31
  normal.
• 34:31
  I'm
• 34:32
  like,
• 34:32
  don't
• 34:32
  be
• 34:32
  doing
• 34:33
  that,
• 34:33
  putting
• 34:34
  your
• 34:34
  livelihood
• 34:35
  at
• 34:35
  risk.
• 34:35
  Don't
• 34:35
  opine
• 34:36
  about
• 34:36
  that.
• 34:37
  The
• 34:37
  best
• 34:37
  thing,
• 34:38
  the
• 34:38
  best
• 34:38
  advice
• 34:38
  I
• 34:38
  give
• 34:39
  to
• 34:39
  realtors
• 34:39
  is,
• 34:40
  hey,
• 34:40
  look,
• 34:40
  if
• 34:41
  you're
• 34:41
  starting
• 34:41
  to
• 34:41
  list
• 34:41
  a
• 34:42
  house
• 34:42
  and
• 34:42
  you
• 34:42
  walk
• 34:42
  around
• 34:43
  in
• 34:43
  cracks,
• 34:44
  doors
• 34:44
  that
• 34:45
  are
• 34:45
  pinched,
• 34:45
  fat
• 34:46
  on
• 34:46
  one
• 34:46
  side,
• 34:46
  pinched
• 34:46
  on
• 34:47
  the
• 34:47
  other,
• 34:47
  sloping
• 34:48
  floors,
• 34:48
  windows
• 34:49
  that
• 34:49
  maybe
• 34:49
  might
• 34:50
  be
• 34:50
  pinched,
• 34:50
  if
• 34:50
  you
• 34:50
  see
• 34:50
  this
• 34:51
  in
• 34:51
  a
• 34:51
  pattern,
• 34:51
  in
• 34:51
  a
• 34:52
  grouping,
• 34:52
  don't
• 34:53
  try
• 34:53
  to
• 34:54
  sneak
• 34:54
  through
• 34:55
  the
• 34:55
  escrow.
• 34:56
  Because
• 34:56
  what's
• 34:56
  going
• 34:57
  to
• 34:57
  happen
• 34:57
  is
• 34:58
  you're
• 34:58
  going
• 34:58
  to
• 34:58
  get
• 34:58
  an
• 34:58
  inspector
• 34:59
  that
• 34:59
  calls
• 34:59
  it
• 34:59
  out,
• 35:00
  and
• 35:00
  guess
• 35:00
  what?
• 35:01
  Then
• 35:01
  they're
• 35:01
  going
• 35:01
  to
• 35:01
  call
• 35:01
  a
• 35:01
  foundation
• 35:02
  repair
• 35:02
  company.
• 35:03
  Because
• 35:03
  that's
• 35:03
  when
• 35:03
  you
• 35:03
  Google
• 35:04
  it,
• 35:04
  that's
• 35:04
  who
• 35:04
  comes
• 35:04
  up,
• 35:05
  right?
• 35:05
  In
• 35:06
  a
• 35:06
  hurry,
• 35:06
  60
• 35:07
  come
• 35:07
  out,
• 35:08
  and
• 35:08
  they're
• 35:08
  going
• 35:08
  to
• 35:08
  say,
• 35:08
  yeah,
• 35:09
  you
• 35:09
  need
• 35:09
  $60,000
• 35:10
  in
• 35:10
  peers.
• 35:11
  And
• 35:11
  then
• 35:11
  the
• 35:11
  whole
• 35:12
  escrow
• 35:12
  blows
• 35:12
  apart.
• 35:13
  Everybody
• 35:13
  goes
• 35:13
  their
• 35:13
  separate
• 35:14
  ways.
• 35:14
  And
• 35:14
  guess
• 35:14
  what?
• 35:15
  The
• 35:15
  listing
• 35:15
  agent
• 35:16
  gets
• 35:16
  fired.
• 35:16
  And
• 35:16
  I'll
• 35:17
  tell
• 35:17
  you
• 35:17
  why
• 35:17
  they
• 35:17
  get
• 35:17
  fired.
• 35:18
  Because
• 35:18
  the
• 35:19
  homeowner
• 35:19
  cannot
• 35:20
  ask
• 35:20
  the
• 35:20
  listing
• 35:20
  agent
• 35:21
  to
• 35:21
  lie
• 35:21
  about
• 35:21
  it.
• 35:21
  So
• 35:22
  they
• 35:22
  fire
• 35:22
  the
• 35:22
  listing
• 35:23
  agent.
• 35:23
  They
• 35:23
  go
• 35:24
  in
• 35:24
  and
• 35:24
  patch
• 35:24
  everything
• 35:24
  up
• 35:25
  the
• 35:25
  best
• 35:25
  they
• 35:25
  can.
• 35:25
  They
• 35:26
  hire
• 35:26
  a
• 35:26
  new
• 35:26
  listing
• 35:26
  agent.
• 35:27
  That's
• 35:27
  not
• 35:28
  the
• 35:28
  right
• 35:28
  way
• 35:28
  to
• 35:28
  do
• 35:28
  it.
• 35:29
  The
• 35:29
  best
• 35:29
  way
• 35:29
  is
• 35:29
  for
• 35:30
  the
• 35:30
  listing
• 35:30
  agent.
• 35:30
  You
• 35:31
  see
• 35:31
  these
• 35:31
  problems.
• 35:32
  Get
• 35:32
  to
• 35:32
  know
• 35:33
  some
• 35:33
  good
• 35:34
  forensic
• 35:35
  engineers
• 35:35
  in
• 35:35
  your
• 35:36
  area.
• 35:37
  And
• 35:37
  if
• 35:37
  you
• 35:37
  go
• 35:37
  to
• 35:37
  my
• 35:37
  website,
• 35:38
  Foundation
• 35:38
  Repair
• 35:39
  Secrets,
• 35:39
  there's
• 35:39
  a
• 35:39
  directory
• 35:40
  of
• 35:41
  engineers
• 35:41
  for
• 35:41
  every
• 35:42
  state.
• 35:42
  Go
• 35:43
  into
• 35:43
  that
• 35:43
  directory
• 35:44
  and
• 35:44
  find
• 35:44
  some
• 35:44
  good
• 35:44
  engineers.
• 35:45
  Get
• 35:45
  to
• 35:45
  know
• 35:45
  them,
• 35:45
  take
• 35:46
  them
• 35:46
  to
• 35:46
  lunch,
• 35:46
  get
• 35:46
  their
• 35:47
  opinion.
• 35:47
  And
• 35:48
  then
• 35:48
  when
• 35:48
  the
• 35:48
  time
• 35:48
  is
• 35:48
  right,
• 35:49
  you
• 35:49
  can
• 35:49
  call
• 35:49
  on
• 35:50
  them
• 35:50
  to
• 35:50
  come
• 35:50
  out
• 35:50
  and
• 35:51
  take
• 35:51
  a
• 35:51
  look
• 35:51
  at
• 35:51
  this.
• 35:52
  And
• 35:52
  they'll
• 35:52
  do
• 35:52
  one
• 35:52
  of
• 35:53
  two
• 35:53
  things.
• 35:53
  They'll
• 35:53
  say,
• 35:54
  it's
• 35:54
  probably
• 35:54
  fine,
• 35:55
  and
• 35:55
  here's
• 35:55
  a
• 35:55
  sealed.
• 35:56
  Or
• 35:56
  they
• 35:57
  may
• 35:57
  say,
• 35:57
  oh,
• 35:57
  yeah,
• 35:58
  we
• 35:58
  might
• 35:58
  need
• 35:59
  to
• 35:59
  fix
• 35:59
  it.
• 35:59
  And
• 35:59
  here's
• 36:00
  a
• 36:00
  plan.
• 36:01
  Now
• 36:01
  you
• 36:01
  can
• 36:01
  get
• 36:01
  it
• 36:01
  fixed
• 36:02
  and
• 36:02
  he'll
• 36:02
  supervise
• 36:02
  it,
• 36:03
  make
• 36:03
  sure
• 36:03
  it's
• 36:03
  done,
• 36:03
  put
• 36:03
  a
• 36:04
  seal
• 36:04
  on
• 36:04
  the
• 36:04
  end.
• 36:05
  And
• 36:05
  now
• 36:05
  when
• 36:06
  the
• 36:06
  inspector
• 36:06
  brings
• 36:07
  these
• 36:07
  problems
• 36:07
  up,
• 36:07
  you
• 36:08
  have
• 36:08
  a
• 36:08
  seal
• 36:08
  either
• 36:08
  way
• 36:09
  that
• 36:09
  says
• 36:09
  it's
• 36:10
  groovy
• 36:11
  and
• 36:11
  all.
• 36:11
  Those
• 36:11
  fears
• 36:12
  are
• 36:12
  alleviated.
• 36:14
  It
• 36:14
  always
• 36:14
  seems
• 36:15
  it's
• 36:15
  that
• 36:15
  inspection
• 36:16
  process.
• 36:16
  Right.
• 36:17
  That
• 36:17
  this
• 36:17
  stuff
• 36:17
  comes
• 36:17
  up.
• 36:18
  And
• 36:18
  there's
• 36:18
  this.
• 36:19
  When
• 36:19
  I
• 36:19
  was
• 36:19
  working
• 36:19
  for
• 36:20
  that
• 36:20
  foundation
• 36:20
  company,
• 36:21
  we
• 36:21
  had
• 36:21
  two
• 36:21
  people
• 36:21
  that
• 36:22
  were
• 36:22
  in
• 36:22
  sales
• 36:22
  that
• 36:22
  just
• 36:23
  dealt
• 36:23
  with
• 36:23
  realtors.
• 36:25
  It
• 36:25
  was
• 36:25
  just.
• 36:26
  You
• 36:26
  didn't
• 36:27
  know
• 36:27
  where
• 36:27
  you're
• 36:27
  going
• 36:27
  tomorrow,
• 36:28
  but
• 36:28
  it
• 36:28
  was
• 36:28
  like
• 36:29
  you
• 36:29
  were
• 36:29
  filling
• 36:30
  in,
• 36:30
  just
• 36:30
  going.
• 36:31
  Yeah.
• 36:31
  And
• 36:31
  usually
• 36:32
  what
• 36:32
  happens
• 36:32
  is
• 36:33
  foundation
• 36:33
  repair
• 36:34
  companies
• 36:34
  have
• 36:34
  figured
• 36:34
  out
• 36:34
  that
• 36:35
  very
• 36:35
  few
• 36:35
  of
• 36:35
  those
• 36:36
  turn
• 36:36
  into
• 36:36
  sales.
• 36:36
  So
• 36:37
  what
• 36:37
  they
• 36:37
  do
• 36:37
  is
• 36:37
  they
• 36:37
  charge
• 36:38
  for
• 36:38
  those
• 36:38
  appointments,
• 36:39
  which
• 36:39
  is
• 36:39
  crazy
• 36:40
  because
• 36:40
  now
• 36:40
  they're
• 36:41
  really
• 36:41
  violating
• 36:41
  engineering
• 36:42
  laws.
• 36:42
  They're
• 36:42
  providing
• 36:43
  engineering
• 36:43
  advice
• 36:43
  for
• 36:44
  a
• 36:44
  price.
• 36:45
  And
• 36:45
  you
• 36:45
  know
• 36:45
  what?
• 36:46
  They're
• 36:46
  going
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  go
• 36:47
  out
• 36:47
  there
• 36:47
  and
• 36:47
  they're
• 36:47
  going
• 36:47
  to
• 36:48
  give
• 36:48
  you
• 36:48
  a
• 36:49
  little
• 36:49
  report
• 36:50
  with
• 36:50
  pictures
• 36:51
  and
• 36:51
  an
• 36:51
  estimate
• 36:52
  and
• 36:52
  a
• 36:52
  plan,
• 36:53
  maybe
• 36:54
  even
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  floor
• 36:54
  level,
• 36:54
  if
• 36:55
  you're
• 36:55
  lucky,
• 36:55
  floor
• 36:56
  level
• 36:56
  survey.
• 36:57
  But
• 36:57
  no,
• 36:58
  nothing
• 36:58
  written.
• 36:59
  No.
• 36:59
  No
• 36:59
  opinions
• 36:59
  written.
• 37:00
  Because
• 37:01
  that
• 37:01
  would
• 37:01
  just
• 37:01
  be
• 37:02
  too
• 37:02
  scary
• 37:03
  for
• 37:03
  them
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  do.
• 37:03
  Right,
• 37:04
  doctor
• 37:05
  Doing,
• 37:05
  you
• 37:05
  know,
• 37:05
  doing
• 37:06
  brain
• 37:06
  surgery
• 37:07
  in
• 37:07
  a
• 37:07
  storage
• 37:07
  unit.
• 37:08
  Yeah,
• 37:08
  right.
• 37:09
  Yeah,
• 37:10
  exactly.
• 37:11
  Shouldn't
• 37:11
  be
• 37:11
  happening.
• 37:12
  Shouldn't
• 37:12
  be
• 37:12
  happening.
• 37:13
  And
• 37:13
  that's
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  bad
• 37:14
  part
• 37:14
  with.
• 37:14
  And
• 37:15
  I
• 37:15
  wanted
• 37:15
  to
• 37:15
  talk
• 37:15
  about
• 37:15
  this,
• 37:16
  too,
• 37:16
  and
• 37:16
  it's
• 37:16
  something
• 37:16
  that's
• 37:17
  going
• 37:17
  around
• 37:17
  out
• 37:17
  there
• 37:18
  with
• 37:18
  these
• 37:18
  foundation
• 37:19
  repair
• 37:19
  companies.
• 37:20
  Many
• 37:21
  times
• 37:21
  the
• 37:21
  ones
• 37:22
  with
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  biggest
• 37:22
  advertising
• 37:23
  budget
• 37:24
  that
• 37:24
  show
• 37:25
  up
• 37:25
  on
• 37:25
  the
• 37:25
  Google
• 37:25
  searches
• 37:26
  with
• 37:26
  all
• 37:26
  the
• 37:26
  paid
• 37:26
  ads
• 37:27
  that
• 37:27
  are
• 37:27
  showing
• 37:27
  up
• 37:27
  on
• 37:27
  your.
• 37:28
  Maybe
• 37:29
  they're
• 37:29
  not
• 37:29
  the
• 37:29
  ones
• 37:30
  you're
• 37:30
  supposed
• 37:30
  to
• 37:31
  call.
• 37:31
  Well,
• 37:32
  that's
• 37:32
  exactly
• 37:32
  right.
• 37:33
  Think
• 37:33
  about
• 37:33
  it.
• 37:33
  There's
• 37:34
  been
• 37:34
  a
• 37:34
  big
• 37:34
  thing
• 37:35
  going
• 37:35
  on
• 37:35
  in
• 37:35
  the
• 37:35
  industry
• 37:36
  where
• 37:36
  private
• 37:36
  equity
• 37:37
  companies,
• 37:37
  or
• 37:38
  even
• 37:38
  just
• 37:38
  large
• 37:39
  companies
• 37:39
  have
• 37:39
  been
• 37:40
  going
• 37:40
  around
• 37:40
  and
• 37:40
  buying
• 37:41
  up
• 37:41
  small
• 37:42
  mom
• 37:42
  and
• 37:42
  pops.
• 37:43
  Well,
• 37:44
  guess
• 37:44
  what?
• 37:45
  You
• 37:46
  got
• 37:46
  a
• 37:46
  problem
• 37:46
  with
• 37:46
  the
• 37:46
  mom
• 37:47
  and
• 37:47
  pop.
• 37:48
  They're
• 37:48
  probably
• 37:48
  going
• 37:48
  to
• 37:48
  listen
• 37:49
  to
• 37:49
  you.
• 37:49
  I
• 37:50
  owned
• 37:50
  a
• 37:50
  company
• 37:50
  for
• 37:51
  35
• 37:51
  years.
• 37:51
  I
• 37:51
  sold
• 37:52
  two
• 37:52
  years
• 37:52
  ago,
• 37:53
  and
• 37:53
  I
• 37:53
  see
• 37:53
  the
• 37:54
  way
• 37:54
  the
• 37:54
  company
• 37:54
  behaves
• 37:55
  now
• 37:55
  versus
• 37:55
  when
• 37:56
  it
• 37:56
  was
• 37:56
  my
• 37:56
  company.
• 37:57
  Big
• 37:57
  difference.
• 37:58
  You're
• 37:58
  a
• 37:59
  big
• 37:59
  company
• 37:59
  and
• 38:00
  you're
• 38:00
  millions
• 38:01
  or
• 38:01
  billions
• 38:01
  of
• 38:02
  dollars
• 38:02
  in
• 38:02
  sales
• 38:02
  all
• 38:03
  over
• 38:03
  America.
• 38:04
  You're
• 38:05
  not
• 38:05
  going
• 38:05
  to
• 38:06
  really
• 38:06
  care
• 38:06
  that
• 38:06
  much
• 38:07
  about
• 38:07
  some
• 38:07
  dinky
• 38:08
  little
• 38:08
  homeowner
• 38:08
  that's
• 38:09
  not
• 38:09
  happy.
• 38:09
  It's
• 38:10
  just
• 38:10
  not
• 38:10
  going
• 38:10
  to
• 38:10
  happen.
• 38:11
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  Where
• 38:12
  you're
• 38:12
  losing
• 38:13
  a
• 38:13
  $30,000
• 38:14
  deal
• 38:14
  due
• 38:14
  to
• 38:15
  a
• 38:15
  complaint.
• 38:16
  Right.
• 38:16
  Something
• 38:16
  like
• 38:16
  that.
• 38:17
  You
• 38:18
  have
• 38:18
  Mr.
• 38:18
  Or
• 38:18
  Mrs.
• 38:19
  Homeowner
• 38:20
  upset
• 38:21
  and
• 38:21
  that
• 38:21
  business
• 38:22
  owner
• 38:22
  is
• 38:23
  all
• 38:23
  over
• 38:23
  it
• 38:24
  because
• 38:24
  that
• 38:25
  one
• 38:25
  Google
• 38:26
  Review
• 38:26
  could
• 38:27
  kill
• 38:27
  them.
• 38:27
  And
• 38:28
  think
• 38:28
  about
• 38:28
  it.
• 38:28
  Let's
• 38:29
  just
• 38:29
  suppose
• 38:29
  that
• 38:29
  you
• 38:30
  decide
• 38:30
  to
• 38:30
  sue
• 38:31
  the
• 38:31
  company,
• 38:31
  okay?
• 38:32
  Now,
• 38:32
  if
• 38:32
  you're
• 38:33
  suing
• 38:33
  a
• 38:33
  mom
• 38:33
  and
• 38:33
  pop,
• 38:34
  they're
• 38:34
  going
• 38:34
  to
• 38:34
  take
• 38:34
  it
• 38:34
  seriously.
• 38:35
  You're
• 38:35
  suing
• 38:35
  a
• 38:36
  billion
• 38:36
  dollar
• 38:36
  company,
• 38:37
  they
• 38:37
  don't
• 38:37
  care.
• 38:38
  They're
• 38:39
  going
• 38:39
  to
• 38:39
  drag
• 38:39
  it
• 38:39
  out
• 38:39
  for
• 38:40
  four
• 38:40
  years
• 38:40
  and
• 38:40
  make
• 38:41
  and
• 38:42
  grind
• 38:42
  you
• 38:42
  down
• 38:42
  with
• 38:43
  $300,000
• 38:44
  in
• 38:45
  expert
• 38:45
  testimony.
• 38:47
  They
• 38:47
  don't
• 38:47
  care.
• 38:48
  No.
• 38:48
  And
• 38:48
  they
• 38:48
  got
• 38:48
  their
• 38:49
  own
• 38:49
  legal
• 38:49
  team
• 38:49
  that's
• 38:49
  on
• 38:50
  staff.
• 38:50
  Oh,
• 38:50
  yeah.
• 38:51
  So
• 38:51
  they're
• 38:51
  gonna
• 38:51
  spend
• 38:52
  your
• 38:52
  money.
• 38:53
  Oh,
• 38:53
  yeah.
• 38:53
  You
• 38:54
  know,
• 38:54
  absolutely
• 38:55
  insane
• 38:56
  how
• 38:56
  bad
• 38:56
  that
• 38:56
  goes.
• 38:57
  It's
• 38:58
  just
• 38:58
  crazy.
• 38:58
  And
• 38:59
  so
• 38:59
  that's
• 38:59
  one
• 38:59
  of
• 38:59
  the
• 38:59
  things
• 39:00
  that's
• 39:00
  a
• 39:00
  little
• 39:00
  disheartening
• 39:01
  about
• 39:01
  that
• 39:01
  out
• 39:01
  there
• 39:02
  is
• 39:02
  I'm
• 39:03
  much
• 39:03
  more
• 39:03
  about
• 39:03
  the
• 39:03
  mom
• 39:04
  and
• 39:04
  pops
• 39:04
  than
• 39:05
  some
• 39:05
  of
• 39:05
  these
• 39:05
  bigger
• 39:06
  companies.
• 39:06
  So
• 39:06
  just
• 39:07
  because
• 39:07
  they
• 39:07
  show
• 39:07
  up
• 39:07
  at
• 39:07
  the

  mean
• 39:10
  they're
• 39:10
  the
• 39:10
  right
• 39:10
  company.
• 39:11
  Yep,
• 39:11
  I
• 39:11
  would
• 39:11
  agree
• 39:11
  with
• 39:12
  that
• 39:12
  100%.
• 39:14
  What
• 39:14
  other

  advice
• 39:15
  can

  Bob,

  maintaining

• 39:23
  when

  a

  walking

  on
• 39:25
  things?
• 39:26
  Well,
• 39:27
  the
• 39:27
  name
• 39:27
  of
• 39:27
  the
• 39:27
  game
• 39:28
  is
• 39:29
  changes
• 39:29
  in
• 39:30
  moisture.
• 39:30
  Okay?
• 39:31
  So
• 39:31
  what
• 39:32
  you
• 39:32
  want
• 39:32
  to
• 39:32
  do
• 39:32
  is
• 39:32
  try
• 39:33
  to
• 39:33
  keep
• 39:33
  moisture
• 39:34
  as
• 39:34
  constant
• 39:35
  as
• 39:35
  you
• 39:36
  can.
• 39:36
  So
• 39:37
  if
• 39:37
  you're
• 39:37
  in
• 39:37
  a
• 39:37
  dry
• 39:38
  area,
• 39:38
  you
• 39:38
  want
• 39:38
  to
• 39:38
  keep
• 39:39
  it
• 39:39
  dry.
• 39:39
  If
• 39:39
  you're
• 39:39
  in
• 39:39
  a
• 39:39
  wet
• 39:40
  area,
• 39:40
  you
• 39:40
  want
• 39:40
  to
• 39:40
  keep
• 39:40
  it
• 39:40
  wet.
• 39:41
  Now
• 39:41
  the
• 39:41
  problem
• 39:41
  is,
• 39:42
  what
• 39:42
  do
• 39:42
  you
• 39:42
  do
• 39:43
  in
• 39:43
  an
• 39:43
  area
• 39:43
  that's
• 39:44
  wet
• 39:44
  half
• 39:45
  the
• 39:45
  time
• 39:45
  and
• 39:45
  dry
• 39:46
  half
• 39:46
  the
• 39:46
  time?
• 39:46
  You
• 39:47
  want
• 39:47
  to
• 39:47
  try
• 39:47
  to
• 39:47
  even
• 39:48
  that
• 39:48
  out.
• 39:48
  I
• 39:49
  had
• 39:49
  a
• 39:49
  house
• 39:49
  in
• 39:50
  Flagstaff,
• 39:50
  which
• 39:50
  is
• 39:51
  northern
• 39:51
  Arizona,
• 39:52
  very
• 39:52
  snowy,
• 39:53
  Big
• 39:53
  pine
• 39:53
  trees
• 39:54
  and
• 39:54
  a
• 39:55
  lot
• 39:55
  of
• 39:55
  clays.
• 39:55
  There's
• 39:56
  a
• 39:56
  volcano
• 39:56
  there
• 39:57
  and.
• 39:58
  Or
• 39:58
  a
• 39:58
  dead
• 39:58
  volcano.
• 39:59
  And
• 40:00
  the
• 40:00
  problem
• 40:01
  was,
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  make
• 40:02
  a
• 40:02
  long
• 40:02
  story
• 40:02
  short,
• 40:03
  the
• 40:03
  problem
• 40:04
  was
• 40:04
  that
• 40:04
  in
• 40:04
  the
• 40:05
  winter,
• 40:05
  the
• 40:06
  snows
• 40:06
  would
• 40:07
  come,
• 40:07
  they
• 40:07
  would
• 40:08
  melt,
• 40:08
  the
• 40:09
  water
• 40:09
  would
• 40:09
  go
• 40:10
  underneath
• 40:10
  the
• 40:10
  house
• 40:10
  and
• 40:11
  wet
• 40:11
  all
• 40:11
  those
• 40:11
  clays.
• 40:12
  And
• 40:12
  in
• 40:12
  the
• 40:13
  summertime,
• 40:13
  there
• 40:13
  was
• 40:13
  these
• 40:14
  huge
• 40:14
  trees
• 40:14
  that
• 40:15
  would
• 40:15
  suck
• 40:15
  all
• 40:15
  that
• 40:15
  soil
• 40:16
  back
• 40:16
  out.
• 40:16
  So
• 40:17
  there
• 40:17
  was
• 40:17
  this
• 40:17
  huge
• 40:19
  action
• 40:19
  going
• 40:19
  on.
• 40:20
  And
• 40:21
  to
• 40:21
  boot,
• 40:22
  this
• 40:22
  happens
• 40:22
  a
• 40:23
  lot.
• 40:23
  They
• 40:23
  put
• 40:24
  the
• 40:24
  guttering
• 40:24
  system
• 40:24
  in
• 40:25
  and
• 40:25
  they
• 40:25
  piped
• 40:25
  it
• 40:25
  down
• 40:26
  into
• 40:26
  a
• 40:26
  perforated
• 40:27
  drain.
• 40:27
  Drain.
• 40:28
  They
• 40:28
  wanted,
• 40:29
  they
• 40:29
  wanted
• 40:29
  to
• 40:29
  make
• 40:29
  the
• 40:30
  French
• 40:30
  drain
• 40:30
  and
• 40:30
  the
• 40:30
  drain
• 40:31
  for
• 40:31
  the
• 40:31
  gutters
• 40:31
  all
• 40:31
  in
• 40:32
  one,
• 40:32
  which
• 40:32
  is.
• 40:33
  Okay,
• 40:33
  we're
• 40:34
  gonna
• 40:34
  just
• 40:34
  put
• 40:34
  a
• 40:35
  super
• 40:35
  highway
• 40:35
  down
• 40:35
  to
• 40:35
  the
• 40:36
  drain.
• 40:37
  Awesome.
• 40:37
  A
• 40:38
  super
• 40:38
  high
• 40:38
  pressure
• 40:38
  injection
• 40:39
  system.
• 40:40
  Yeah.
• 40:40
  You
• 40:40
  know,
• 40:40
  and
• 40:40
  that
• 40:41
  just
• 40:41
  made
• 40:41
  it
• 40:41
  worse.
• 40:41
  But
• 40:42
  bottom
• 40:42
  line
• 40:42
  is,
• 40:43
  one
• 40:43
  of
• 40:43
  the
• 40:43
  things
• 40:43
  that
• 40:43
  I
• 40:43
  developed
• 40:44
  for
• 40:44
  this
• 40:45
  project
• 40:45
  was
• 40:45
  A
• 40:46
  drying
• 40:46
  system
• 40:46
  that
• 40:47
  would
• 40:47
  go
• 40:47
  through
• 40:47
  those
• 40:47
  sands
• 40:48
  underneath
• 40:48
  the
• 40:48
  house
• 40:49
  and
• 40:49
  there
• 40:49
  would
• 40:49
  be
• 40:50
  a
• 40:50
  switch.
• 40:50
  You
• 40:50
  just
• 40:51
  flick
• 40:51
  the
• 40:51
  switch
• 40:51
  on
• 40:53
  in
• 40:53
  the
• 40:53
  winter
• 40:53
  to
• 40:54
  keep
• 40:54
  it
• 40:54
  dry.
• 40:54
  You
• 40:55
  turn
• 40:55
  it
• 40:55
  off
• 40:55
  in
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  summer
• 40:56
  and
• 40:56
  that
• 40:56
  kept
• 40:57
  the
• 40:57
  constant.
• 40:58
  That
• 40:58
  is
• 40:58
  awesome.
• 40:59
  Boy.
• 40:59
  Nowadays
• 40:59
  with
• 41:00
  smart
• 41:00
  home
• 41:00
  tech,
• 41:00
  you
• 41:00
  could
• 41:01
  just
• 41:01
  put
• 41:01
  a
• 41:01
  switch
• 41:01
  on
• 41:02
  that.
• 41:02
  Right.
• 41:02
  And
• 41:03
  say,
• 41:03
  okay,
• 41:03
  on
• 41:04
  December
• 41:05
  1st
• 41:05
  or
• 41:05
  whatever,
• 41:05
  that's
• 41:06
  going
• 41:06
  to
• 41:06
  turn
• 41:06
  on
• 41:06
  for
• 41:06
  this
• 41:06
  many
• 41:07
  hours
• 41:07
  a
• 41:07
  week
• 41:07
  and.
• 41:08
  Oh
• 41:08
  yeah.
• 41:08
  Or
• 41:08
  you
• 41:09
  could
• 41:09
  even
• 41:09
  make
• 41:09
  a
• 41:10
  moisture
• 41:10
  sensitive
• 41:11
  switch.
• 41:12
  Yeah.
• 41:12
  Just
• 41:12
  like
• 41:12
  you'd
• 41:13
  have
• 41:13
  a
• 41:13
  bath
• 41:13
  fan
• 41:13
  or
• 41:13
  something.
• 41:14
  Yep.
• 41:15
  Simple.
• 41:15
  I
• 41:16
  like
• 41:16
  it.
• 41:17
  That
• 41:17
  is
• 41:17
  smart.
• 41:18
  And
• 41:18
  that's
• 41:18
  one
• 41:18
  of
• 41:18
  the
• 41:18
  things
• 41:19
  that
• 41:19
  we
• 41:19
  see
• 41:19
  a
• 41:20
  lot
• 41:20
  here
• 41:20
  in
• 41:20
  our
• 41:20
  area,
• 41:20
  because
• 41:21
  we
• 41:21
  are
• 41:21
  that
• 41:21
  in
• 41:22
  my
• 41:22
  area
• 41:22
  at
• 41:22
  least
• 41:22
  that's
• 41:22
  that
• 41:23
  six
• 41:23
  months
• 41:23
  of
• 41:23
  the
• 41:24
  year
• 41:24
  it's
• 41:24
  raining.
• 41:24
  We're
• 41:24
  raining
• 41:25
  here
• 41:25
  till
• 41:25
  June
• 41:25
  and
• 41:26
  then
• 41:26
  it's
• 41:26
  dead
• 41:27
  dry.
• 41:28
  Right.
• 41:28
  It's
• 41:28
  the
• 41:29
  biggest
• 41:29
  cause
• 41:29
  of
• 41:29
  our
• 41:29
  foundation
• 41:30
  issues
• 41:30
  around
• 41:30
  here.
• 41:31
  And
• 41:31
  I
• 41:32
  can
• 41:32
  just
• 41:32
  drive
• 41:32
  down
• 41:32
  the
• 41:32
  street
• 41:33
  and
• 41:33
  see
• 41:33
  the
• 41:34
  white
• 41:34
  lawns
• 41:34
  in
• 41:35
  July
• 41:35
  and
• 41:35
  go,
• 41:36
  problems,
• 41:37
  problems.
• 41:38
  I
• 41:38
  could
• 41:38
  be,
• 41:38
  I
• 41:38
  could
• 41:38
  walk
• 41:39
  down
• 41:39
  that
• 41:39
  with
• 41:39
  door
• 41:40
  hangers
• 41:40
  if
• 41:40
  I
• 41:40
  was
• 41:40
  a
• 41:40
  foundation
• 41:41
  guy.
• 41:41
  Yeah.
• 41:42
  You
• 41:42
  just
• 41:43
  know
• 41:43
  what's
• 41:43
  going
• 41:43
  on
• 41:43
  without
• 41:43
  even
• 41:44
  looking
• 41:44
  at
• 41:44
  it.
• 41:44
  And
• 41:45
  the
• 41:45
  shame
• 41:45
  about
• 41:45
  that
• 41:46
  is
• 41:46
  that
• 41:47
  half
• 41:47
  of
• 41:47
  those
• 41:48
  problems
• 41:48
  might
• 41:48
  be
• 41:48
  he
• 41:49
  problems,
• 41:49
  not
• 41:49
  settlement
• 41:50
  problems.
• 41:50
  Right?
• 41:51
  Yeah,
• 41:51
  absolutely.
• 41:53
  Absolutely.
• 41:54
  I
• 41:54
  had
• 41:54
  one
• 41:55
  house
• 41:55
  that,
• 41:55
  that
• 41:55
  I'd
• 41:56
  seen.
• 41:56
  And
• 41:56
  you,
• 41:57
  you
• 41:57
  could,
• 41:57
  you
• 41:57
  probably
• 41:58
  should
• 41:58
  write
• 41:58
  a
• 41:58
  book
• 41:58
  on
• 41:58
  the
• 41:59
  crazy
• 41:59
  things
• 41:59
  you've
• 41:59
  seen
• 41:59
  out
• 42:00
  there
• 42:00
  with
• 42:00
  pictures
• 42:00
  if
• 42:00
  you've
• 42:01
  got
• 42:01
  them.
• 42:01
  Oh
• 42:01
  yeah,
• 42:02
  I'm
• 42:02
  sure
• 42:02
  you've
• 42:02
  got
• 42:02
  those.
• 42:03
  I
• 42:03
  had
• 42:04
  one
• 42:04
  where
• 42:05
  middle
• 42:05
  of
• 42:05
  winter,
• 42:06
  I
• 42:06
  got
• 42:06
  called
• 42:06
  out
• 42:07
  and
• 42:07
  again,
• 42:07
  this
• 42:08
  was
• 42:09
  someone
• 42:09
  missing
• 42:10
  maintenance
• 42:10
  day.
• 42:11
  Right.
• 42:12
  So
• 42:12
  in,
• 42:13
  in
• 42:14
  respect
• 42:14
  to
• 42:14
  the
• 42:14
  homeowner,
• 42:15
  his
• 42:15
  kids
• 42:15
  were
• 42:16
  living
• 42:16
  at
• 42:16
  home
• 42:16
  and
• 42:16
  they
• 42:16
  were
• 42:17
  adult
• 42:17
  kids.
• 42:17
  He
• 42:17
  was
• 42:18
  a
• 42:18
  long
• 42:18
  haul
• 42:18
  truck
• 42:18
  driver.
• 42:19
  So
• 42:19
  he
• 42:20
  comes
• 42:20
  home
• 42:20
  and
• 42:20
  goes,
• 42:20
  what
• 42:20
  happened
• 42:21
  to
• 42:21
  the
• 42:21
  kitchen?
• 42:21
  The
• 42:22
  refrigerator's
• 42:23
  bound
• 42:23
  up
• 42:23
  against
• 42:24
  the
• 42:24
  refrigerator
• 42:25
  wall.
• 42:26
  And
• 42:26
  I'm
• 42:26
  like,
• 42:26
  oh,
• 42:27
  well,
• 42:27
  let
• 42:27
  me
• 42:27
  get
• 42:27
  down
• 42:27
  in
• 42:27
  the
• 42:27
  crawl
• 42:28
  space
• 42:28
  and
• 42:28
  take
• 42:28
  a
• 42:28
  look.
• 42:29
  It's
• 42:29
  a
• 42:29
  30
• 42:29
  degree
• 42:30
  day
• 42:30
  outside.
• 42:30
  I
• 42:30
  pull
• 42:31
  the
• 42:31
  crawl
• 42:31
  space
• 42:31
  over
• 42:32
  cover
• 42:32
  off
• 42:33
  in
• 42:33
  steam.
• 42:34
  I'm
• 42:34
  just
• 42:34
  running
• 42:35
  out.
• 42:35
  Oh,
• 42:35
  no.
• 42:36
  I
• 42:36
  got
• 42:37
  down
• 42:37
  there
• 42:37
  in
• 42:37
  the
• 42:38
  cast.
• 42:38
  Actually.
• 42:39
  The
• 42:39
  galvanized
• 42:40
  pipe
• 42:40
  that
• 42:40
  was
• 42:41
  coming
• 42:41
  off
• 42:41
  the
• 42:41
  washing
• 42:42
  machine,
• 42:42
  off
• 42:42
  the
• 42:43
  drain
• 42:43
  had
• 42:44
  broken
• 42:44
  and
• 42:45
  was
• 42:45
  just.
• 42:45
  And
• 42:46
  they
• 42:46
  had
• 42:46
  a
• 42:46
  50
• 42:46
  gallon
• 42:47
  washing
• 42:47
  machine.
• 42:48
  It's
• 42:48
  an
• 42:48
  old
• 42:48
  top
• 42:48
  load.
• 42:49
  Every
• 42:49
  time
• 42:50
  they
• 42:50
  do
• 42:50
  a
• 42:50
  load
• 42:50
  of
• 42:50
  laundry,
• 42:51
  50
• 42:52
  gallons
• 42:52
  of
• 42:52
  hot
• 42:52
  water
• 42:52
  go
• 42:53
  down
• 42:53
  there.
• 42:53
  And
• 42:54
  there
• 42:54
  was
• 42:55
  three
• 42:55
  feet
• 42:55
  under
• 42:56
  the
• 42:56
  foundation
• 42:57
  right
• 42:57
  at
• 42:57
  the
• 42:57
  kitchen
• 42:58
  wall.
• 42:58
  And
• 42:58
  that
• 42:58
  whole
• 42:59
  kitchen
• 42:59
  had
• 42:59
  just
• 42:59
  sunk.
• 43:00
  You
• 43:00
  can
• 43:00
  see
• 43:00
  it
• 43:00
  in
• 43:00
  the
• 43:00
  roof
• 43:01
  line.
• 43:01
  Wow.
• 43:02
  And
• 43:04
  for
• 43:04
  them,
• 43:04
  I
• 43:04
  said,
• 43:05
  you
• 43:05
  Know
• 43:05
  a
• 43:05
  couple
• 43:05
  things.
• 43:06
  I
• 43:06
  talked
• 43:07
  to
• 43:07
  your
• 43:07
  insurance
• 43:07
  company
• 43:08
  first
• 43:08
  that
• 43:09
  actually
• 43:09
  might
• 43:10
  be
• 43:10
  an
• 43:11
  insurance
• 43:11
  issue.
• 43:12
  You
• 43:12
  might
• 43:12
  be
• 43:12
  able
• 43:13
  to
• 43:13
  get
• 43:13
  away
• 43:13
  with
• 43:13
  that,
• 43:13
  and
• 43:13
  that's
• 43:14
  rare
• 43:14
  with
• 43:14
  foundations.
• 43:15
  Right.
• 43:15
  Well,
• 43:16
  I'll
• 43:16
  tell
• 43:16
  you,
• 43:16
  I've.
• 43:17
  Here's
• 43:17
  the
• 43:18
  key.
• 43:18
  If
• 43:19
  you
• 43:19
  have
• 43:19
  a
• 43:19
  floor
• 43:20
  level
• 43:20
  survey,
• 43:21
  you
• 43:21
  know,
• 43:21
  as
• 43:22
  a
• 43:22
  baseline,
• 43:23
  and
• 43:23
  now
• 43:23
  an
• 43:23
  event
• 43:24
  comes
• 43:24
  along
• 43:25
  like
• 43:25
  this
• 43:25
  and
• 43:25
  happens,
• 43:26
  and
• 43:26
  you
• 43:26
  can
• 43:27
  show
• 43:27
  that,
• 43:27
  okay,
• 43:28
  this
• 43:28
  was
• 43:28
  sudden
• 43:28
  and
• 43:29
  catastrophic.
• 43:29
  It
• 43:30
  occurred
• 43:30
  after
• 43:30
  the
• 43:31
  pipe
• 43:31
  break.
• 43:31
  It
• 43:31
  was
• 43:31
  caused
• 43:32
  by
• 43:32
  the
• 43:32
  pipe
• 43:32
  break.
• 43:33
  You
• 43:34
  can
• 43:34
  probably
• 43:34
  have
• 43:35
  a
• 43:35
  fighting
• 43:35
  chance
• 43:36
  to
• 43:36
  get
• 43:36
  the
• 43:36
  insurance
• 43:37
  to
• 43:37
  cover
• 43:37
  it.
• 43:37
  I
• 43:37
  actually
• 43:37
  had
• 43:38
  insurance
• 43:38
  cover
• 43:38
  one
• 43:38
  of
• 43:38
  my
• 43:39
  rental
• 43:39
  houses
• 43:39
  that
• 43:39
  way
• 43:40
  and
• 43:41
  had
• 43:41
  all
• 43:41
  the
• 43:41
  documentation,
• 43:42
  had
• 43:42
  everything
• 43:43
  planned.
• 43:43
  One
• 43:43
  of
• 43:44
  the
• 43:44
  things
• 43:44
  that
• 43:44
  we
• 43:44
  do
• 43:44
  is
• 43:45
  we
• 43:45
  have
• 43:45
  a
• 43:45
  software
• 43:45
  that
• 43:46
  we
• 43:46
  provide
• 43:46
  for
• 43:47
  both
• 43:47
  engineers,
• 43:47
  contractors,
• 43:48
  and
• 43:48
  we're
• 43:49
  starting
• 43:49
  to
• 43:49
  train
• 43:49
  home
• 43:50
  inspectors
• 43:51
  that
• 43:51
  when
• 43:51
  you
• 43:51
  take
• 43:52
  the
• 43:52
  floor
• 43:52
  level
• 43:52
  survey,
• 43:53
  it
• 43:53
  pops
• 43:54
  it
• 43:54
  right
• 43:54
  into
• 43:54
  the
• 43:54
  computer
• 43:55
  program
• 43:55
  and
• 43:56
  does
• 43:56
  a
• 43:56
  colored
• 43:56
  3D
• 43:57
  model
• 43:57
  that
• 43:57
  shows
• 43:58
  you
• 43:58
  where
• 43:58
  it's
• 43:58
  high
• 43:58
  and
• 43:59
  where
• 43:59
  it's
• 43:59
  low.
• 44:00
  Cool.
• 44:00
  It's
• 44:00
  really
• 44:01
  cool.
• 45:23
  And
• 45:24
  now,
• 45:24
  guess
• 45:24
  what,
• 45:24
  Five
• 45:25
  years
• 45:25
  from
• 45:25
  now,
• 45:26
  you
• 45:26
  can
• 45:26
  take
• 45:27
  the
• 45:27
  first
• 45:27
  values,
• 45:28
  subtract
• 45:28
  them
• 45:28
  from
• 45:29
  the
• 45:29
  second
• 45:29
  values,
• 45:30
  and
• 45:30
  it
• 45:30
  prints
• 45:30
  you
• 45:31
  a
• 45:31
  model
• 45:31
  of
• 45:31
  how
• 45:31
  it's
• 45:32
  moved
• 45:33
  in
• 45:33
  the
• 45:33
  intervening
• 45:34
  time.
• 45:35
  And
• 45:35
  that's
• 45:35
  super
• 45:36
  valuable.
• 45:36
  And
• 45:37
  so
• 45:37
  we're.
• 45:37
  We're
• 45:38
  seeing
• 45:38
  a
• 45:39
  lot
• 45:39
  of
• 45:39
  people
• 45:39
  using
• 45:39
  this
• 45:40
  technology
• 45:40
  and
• 45:40
  benefiting
• 45:41
  from
• 45:41
  it.
• 45:42
  Wow.
• 45:42
  And
• 45:42
  if
• 45:42
  you
• 45:42
  do
• 45:43
  that
• 45:43
  seasonally,
• 45:43
  you
• 45:44
  can
• 45:44
  really
• 45:44
  see
• 45:45
  where
• 45:46
  shrinkage
• 45:46
  heaves
• 45:47
  or
• 45:47
  whatever
• 45:47
  else
• 45:47
  is
• 45:48
  happening.
• 45:48
  Yeah.
• 45:49
  Because
• 45:49
  the
• 45:49
  old
• 45:49
  argument
• 45:50
  is,
• 45:50
  hey,
• 45:51
  it's
• 45:51
  low
• 45:51
  on
• 45:51
  this
• 45:51
  one
• 45:51
  side.
• 45:52
  Well,
• 45:52
  maybe
• 45:52
  it
• 45:52
  was
• 45:52
  poured
• 45:53
  that
• 45:53
  way.
• 45:53
  Or
• 45:54
  how
• 45:54
  do
• 45:54
  we
• 45:54
  know?
• 45:55
  Well,
• 45:55
  guess
• 45:55
  what?
• 45:56
  If
• 45:56
  six
• 45:56
  months
• 45:56
  ago
• 45:57
  it
• 45:57
  was
• 45:57
  this
• 45:57
  way
• 45:58
  and
• 45:58
  now
• 45:58
  it's
• 45:58
  this
• 45:59
  way,
• 45:59
  you
• 45:59
  can
• 45:59
  pretty
• 46:00
  well
• 46:00
  see
• 46:00
  a
• 46:00
  pattern
• 46:01
  of
• 46:01
  what's
• 46:01
  going
• 46:01
  on,
• 46:02
  right?
• 46:02
  Yeah.
• 46:03
  And
• 46:03
  sometimes
• 46:04
  dropping
• 46:04
  down
• 46:05
  pushes
• 46:05
  up
• 46:05
  over
• 46:05
  here,
• 46:06
  and
• 46:06
  so
• 46:06
  you
• 46:06
  get
• 46:06
  to
• 46:07
  figure
• 46:07
  out
• 46:07
  what's
• 46:07
  going
• 46:07
  on.
• 46:08
  Oh,
• 46:08
  yeah,
• 46:08
  absolutely.
• 46:09
  It's
• 46:09
  a
• 46:09
  bit
• 46:09
  of
• 46:09
  an
• 46:10
  art
• 46:10
  to
• 46:10
  understand
• 46:10
  a
• 46:11
  floor
• 46:11
  level
• 46:11
  survey
• 46:11
  because
• 46:12
  there's
• 46:13
  no
• 46:13
  benchmark.
• 46:13
  So
• 46:14
  all
• 46:14
  you're
• 46:14
  doing
• 46:14
  is
• 46:14
  looking
• 46:15
  at
• 46:15
  relative
• 46:16
  elevations
• 46:17
  and
• 46:17
  trying
• 46:17
  to
• 46:17
  figure
• 46:17
  out,
• 46:18
  okay,
• 46:18
  what
• 46:18
  went
• 46:18
  up
• 46:18
  and
• 46:19
  what
• 46:19
  went
• 46:19
  down.
• 46:19
  And
• 46:20
  there's
• 46:20
  a
• 46:20
  bit
• 46:20
  of
• 46:20
  an
• 46:20
  art
• 46:20
  to
• 46:21
  it.
• 46:21
  And,
• 46:21
  you
• 46:21
  know,
• 46:21
  having
• 46:22
  that
• 46:22
  first
• 46:22
  one
• 46:22
  and
• 46:23
  the
• 46:23
  second
• 46:23
  one
• 46:23
  really
• 46:23
  helps
• 46:24
  with
• 46:24
  that
• 46:24
  ambiguity.
• 46:25
  Man,
• 46:26
  that
• 46:26
  is
• 46:26
  awesome.
• 46:27
  That
• 46:27
  is
• 46:27
  awesome.
• 46:28
  Well,
• 46:28
  Bob,
• 46:28
  we're
• 46:28
  running
• 46:29

• 47:05
  the
• 47:05
  easiest
• 47:06
  way.
• 47:06
  But
• 47:07
  you
• 47:07
  can
• 47:07
  find
• 47:07
  me
• 47:07
  all
• 47:08
  over
• 47:08
  social
• 47:08
  media.
• 47:08
  Is
• 47:09
  the
• 47:09
  Dirt
• 47:09
  Whisperer.
• 47:10
  And
• 47:11
  reach
• 47:11
  out
• 47:11
  to
• 47:11
  me.
• 47:11
  I'm
• 47:12
  happy
• 47:12
  to
• 47:12
  talk.
• 47:12
  I'm.
• 47:13
  I'm
• 47:13
  retired,
• 47:14
  basically.
• 47:15
  Almost,
• 47:15
  maybe,
• 47:16
  but
• 47:16
  I'll
• 47:16
  respond
• 47:17
  to
• 47:17
  people
• 47:18
  all
• 47:18
  the
• 47:18
  time
• 47:18
  that
• 47:18
  have
• 47:19
  questions
• 47:19
  and
• 47:19
  concerns.
• 47:20
  Yeah,
• 47:21
  you're
• 47:21
  retired,
• 47:21
  but
• 47:21
  you're
• 47:22
  inventing
• 47:22
  all
• 47:22
  these
• 47:22
  cool
• 47:22
  things
• 47:23
  and
• 47:23
  writing
• 47:23
  books,
• 47:23
  right?
• 47:24
  Exactly.
• 47:26
  Not
• 47:26
  sure
• 47:26
  if
• 47:26
  that's
• 47:26
  retirement
• 47:27
  or
• 47:27
  not.
• 47:28
  I
• 47:28
  never
• 47:28
  sit
• 47:28
  still.
• 47:29
  That's
• 47:29
  the
• 47:29
  problem.
• 47:30
  That's
• 47:30
  my
• 47:30
  problem
• 47:31
  as
• 47:31
  well.
• 47:31
