  what

  you're

  there

  this
• 2:24
  dark
• 2:25
  underworld
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  foundation
• 2:26
  repair
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  I
• 2:27
  don't
• 2:27
  want
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  go
• 2:27
  out
• 2:27
  and
• 2:28
  hammer
• 2:28
  on
• 2:28
  an
• 2:28
  industry
• 2:29
  out
• 2:29
  there.
• 2:29
  There's
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  lot
• 2:30
  of
• 2:30
  great
• 2:30
  people
• 2:31
  out
• 2:31
  there,
• 2:32
  but
• 2:32
  there's
• 2:32
  also
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  lot
• 2:33
  of
• 2:33
  one,
• 2:33
  a
• 2:34
  lot
• 2:34
  of
• 2:34
  people
• 2:34
  out
• 2:34
  there
• 2:35
  that
• 2:35
  are
• 2:35
  making
• 2:36
  millions
• 2:36
  of
• 2:36
  dollars
• 2:36
  a
• 2:37
  year
• 2:37
  with
• 2:37
  fear
• 2:38
  and
• 2:38
  lack
• 2:38
  of
• 2:39
  knowledge
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  homeowners
• 2:40
  and
• 2:41
  they're
• 2:41
  getting
• 2:41
  rich
• 2:42
  off
• 2:42
  an
• 2:43
  unfortunate
• 2:43
  situation.
• 2:44
  That's
• 2:44
  exactly
• 2:45
  right.
• 2:46
  It's
• 2:46
  just
• 2:46
  shocking
• 2:47
  how
• 2:47
  much
• 2:48
  it
• 2:48
  is.
• 2:48
  We
• 2:48
  see
• 2:48
  people
• 2:48
  out
• 2:49
  there
• 2:49
  with
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  duct
• 2:49
  cleaning
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  that
• 2:50
  kind
• 2:50
  of
• 2:50
  stuff.
• 2:51
  But
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  think
• 2:52
  our
• 2:52
  number
• 2:52
  one
• 2:53
  thing
• 2:53
  that's
• 2:54
  fleecing
• 2:54
  homeowners
• 2:55
  these
• 2:55
  days
• 2:56
  is
• 2:57
  broken
• 2:57
  foundations,
• 2:58
  cracks
• 2:58
  in
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  foundation
• 2:59
  or
• 2:59
  even
• 2:59
  water
• 3:00
  in
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  basement.
• 3:01
  And
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  love
• 3:02
  what
• 3:02
  you've
• 3:03
  been
• 3:03
  doing,
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  it
• 3:04
  seemed
• 3:04
  like
• 3:05
  you've
• 3:05
  been
• 3:05
  doing
• 3:05
  this
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  a
• 3:06
  long
• 3:06
  time.
• 3:07
  Yeah,
• 3:07
  35
• 3:07
  years.
• 3:08
  And
• 3:09
  there's.
• 3:09
  There
• 3:09
  is
• 3:10
  a
• 3:10
  tremendous.
• 3:10
  As
• 3:10
  you
• 3:11
  pointed
• 3:11
  out,
• 3:11
  there's
• 3:11
  a
• 3:11
  tremendous
• 3:12
  amount
• 3:12
  of
• 3:12
  myths
• 3:13

  about
• 3:15
  some
• 3:16

  won't
• 3:17
  get
• 3:17
  through
• 3:17
  them
• 3:17
  all
• 3:18
  because
• 3:18

  homes
• 4:01
  here
• 4:02
  in
• 4:02
  my
• 4:02
  Portland,
• 4:02
  Oregon,
• 4:03
  metro
• 4:03
  area
• 4:04
  that
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  city
• 4:04
  of
• 4:05
  Portland
• 4:05
  did
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  disservice
• 4:06
  to.
• 4:07
  We
• 4:07
  have
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  bunch
• 4:07
  of
• 4:08
  homes
• 4:08
  between
• 4:09
  19
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10
  1930
• 4:12
  where
• 4:12
  they
• 4:12
  weren't
• 4:13
  washing
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  sand
• 4:15
  and
• 4:16
  just
• 4:16
  horrible
• 4:17
  concrete.
• 4:18
  And
• 4:18
  then
• 4:18
  about
• 4:19
  30
• 4:19
  or
• 4:19
  40
• 4:20
  years
• 4:20
  ago,
• 4:20
  they
• 4:21
  realized
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  all
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  storm
• 4:22
  drains
• 4:22
  coming
• 4:23
  off
• 4:23
  of
• 4:23
  people's
• 4:23
  gutters
• 4:24
  that
• 4:24
  they
• 4:24
  put
• 4:24
  into
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  sewer
• 4:25
  system,
• 4:26
  it
• 4:26
  was
• 4:26
  overwhelming
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  sewer
• 4:27
  system
• 4:27
  when
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  get
• 4:27
  our
• 4:28
  rains.
• 4:28
  So
• 4:28
  they
• 4:28
  paid
• 4:28
  people
• 4:29
  with
• 4:29
  tax
• 4:29
  rebates
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  disconnect
• 4:31
  those
• 4:31
  downspouts
• 4:33
  and
• 4:33
  drop
• 4:33
  those.
• 4:34
  Didn't
• 4:34
  tell
• 4:35
  them
• 4:35
  they
• 4:35
  had
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  do
• 4:35
  it.
• 4:35
  Right.
• 4:35
  They
• 4:36
  just
• 4:36
  capped
• 4:36
  off
• 4:36
  the.
• 4:37
  Put
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  lead
• 4:37
  seal
• 4:38
  and
• 4:38
  capped
• 4:38
  off
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  sewer
• 4:39
  drain
• 4:39
  there
• 4:40
  and
• 4:40
  dropped
• 4:40
  them
• 4:41
  right
• 4:41
  next
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  foundation.
• 4:42
  Now
• 4:42
  we
• 4:43
  got
• 4:43
  100,000
• 4:43
  plus
• 4:44
  homes
• 4:44
  out
• 4:44
  there
• 4:44
  with
• 4:45
  foundation
• 4:45
  issues.
• 4:46
  Yep.
• 4:47
  Yeah.
• 4:47
  Water
• 4:47
  is
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  catalyst
• 4:48
  for
• 4:48
  sure.
• 4:49
  It
• 4:49
  is
• 4:49
  shocking.
• 4:50
  I
• 4:50
  have
• 4:50
  been
• 4:51
  down
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  these
• 4:51
  homes
• 4:52
  before,
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  I
• 4:53
  could
• 4:53
  get
• 4:53
  down
• 4:54
  there
• 4:54
  with
• 4:54
  a
• 4:55
  ballpoint
• 4:55
  pen,
• 4:56
  and
• 4:56
  if
• 4:56
  I
• 4:57
  took
• 4:57
  15
• 4:57
  minutes,
• 4:58
  I
• 4:58
  could
• 4:58
  dig
• 4:58
  through
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  exterior
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  house.
• 5:00
  It's
• 5:00
  shocking.
• 5:01
  With
• 5:01
  what
• 5:01
  One
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  biggest
• 5:02
  myths
• 5:03
  out
• 5:03
  there
• 5:03
  that
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  think
• 5:03
  we
• 5:03
  see
• 5:04
  is
• 5:04
  people
• 5:04
  go,
• 5:04
  oh,
• 5:04
  dirt's
• 5:05
  dirt.
• 5:05
  Doesn't
• 5:06
  matter.
• 5:06
  Right.
• 5:06
  Let's
• 5:07
  talk
• 5:07
  about
• 5:07
  it.
• 5:07
  Right.
• 5:08
  It's
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  huge
• 5:09
  issue.
• 5:09
  It's
• 5:10
  a
• 5:10
  lot
• 5:10
  more
• 5:10
  complicated
• 5:11
  than
• 5:11
  people
• 5:11
  realize
• 5:12
  because
• 5:13
  dirt
• 5:13
  gets
• 5:13
  deposited
• 5:14
  in
• 5:14
  layers
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  These
• 5:16
  layers,
• 5:16
  there
• 5:16
  could
• 5:17
  be
• 5:17
  10,
• 5:17
  20,
• 5:17
  30
• 5:18
  layers
• 5:18
  within
• 5:18
  a
• 5:19
  30
• 5:19
  foot
• 5:19
  depth.
• 5:20
  And
• 5:20
  each
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  them
• 5:20
  is
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  different
• 5:21
  mineral
• 5:21
  content,
• 5:22
  different
• 5:22
  affinities
• 5:23
  for
• 5:23
  water,
• 5:23
  different
• 5:24
  densities,
• 5:24
  different
• 5:25
  reactions
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  water.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:27
  they're
• 5:27
  not
• 5:27
  even
• 5:27
  layers.
• 5:28
  Some
• 5:28
  are
• 5:28
  fat,
• 5:29
  some
• 5:29
  are
• 5:29
  skinny,
• 5:29
  they
• 5:30
  move,
• 5:30
  they
• 5:30
  die
• 5:31
  out.
• 5:31
  There's
• 5:31
  rocks,
• 5:32
  it's
• 5:32
  very
• 5:33
  complicated.
• 5:33
  And
• 5:34
  there's
• 5:34
  a
• 5:34
  lot
• 5:34
  of
• 5:34
  things
• 5:34
  going
• 5:35
  on
• 5:35
  in
• 5:35
  each
• 5:35
  of
• 5:36
  these
• 5:36
  layers
• 5:36
  all
• 5:36
  at
• 5:36
  the
• 5:37
  same
• 5:37
  time.
• 5:38
  So
• 5:38
  that's
• 5:38
  why
• 5:39
  you
• 5:39
  really
• 5:39
  need
• 5:39
  geotechnical
• 5:40
  engineers.
• 5:40
  They
• 5:41
  understand
• 5:41
  this
• 5:41
  better
• 5:41
  than
• 5:42
  anybody
• 5:42
  else.
• 5:43
  Well,
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  think
• 5:43
  one
• 5:43
  of
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  worst
• 5:44
  things
• 5:44
  is
• 5:44
  if
• 5:44
  you
• 5:45
  have
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  fat
• 5:45
  layer
• 5:45
  of
• 5:45
  clay
• 5:46
  on
• 5:46
  one
• 5:46
  side
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  house
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  not
• 5:47
  on
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  other
• 5:48
  side.
• 5:48
  Right.
• 5:49
  You've
• 5:49
  got
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  ground
• 5:50
  expanding
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  contracting,
• 5:51
  but
• 5:51
  at
• 5:52
  way
• 5:52
  too
• 5:52
  different
• 5:52
  rates,
• 5:53
  which
• 5:53
  leads
• 5:54
  to
• 5:54
  foundation
• 5:54
  issues.
• 5:55
  Yep,
• 5:56
  that's
• 5:56
  right.
• 5:56
  Clays
• 5:57
  can
• 5:57
  be
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  very
• 5:58
  problematic
• 5:58
  source
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  problems.
• 6:00
  And
• 6:00
  as
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  mentioned,
• 6:01
  they,
• 6:01
  they
• 6:01
  can
• 6:02
  contract
• 6:02
  and
• 6:02
  expand.
• 6:03
  If
• 6:03
  you
• 6:03
  have
• 6:03
  wet
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  dry
• 6:04
  seasons,
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  key
• 6:06
  is
• 6:07
  changes
• 6:07
  in
• 6:07
  moisture.
• 6:08
  If
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  see
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  change
• 6:09
  in
• 6:09
  moisture,
• 6:09
  you're
• 6:10
  going
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  have
• 6:10
  problems.
• 6:10
  If
• 6:10
  you
• 6:11
  have
• 6:11
  clays,
• 6:11
  it's
• 6:12
  one
• 6:12
  of.
• 6:12
  The
• 6:12
  things
• 6:12
  that
• 6:12
  happens
• 6:13
  around
• 6:13
  my
• 6:13
  area.
• 6:13
  In
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  summertime
• 6:14
  here
• 6:14
  we
• 6:14
  have,
• 6:14
  we
• 6:15
  are
• 6:15
  very
• 6:15
  much
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  wet
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  dry
• 6:17
  season.
• 6:17
  Summertime,
• 6:18
  it's
• 6:18
  totally
• 6:19
  dry.
• 6:19
  We
• 6:19
  don't
• 6:19
  get
• 6:19
  rain
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  people's
• 6:21
  yards.
• 6:21
  You'll
• 6:21
  see
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  cracks
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  clay.
• 6:22
  It
• 6:23
  looks
• 6:23
  like
• 6:23
  a
• 6:23
  dry
• 6:23
  lake
• 6:24
  bed.
• 6:24
  Yep.
• 6:25
  So
• 6:25
  I've
• 6:25
  been
• 6:25
  out
• 6:25
  with
• 6:26
  engineers
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  said,
• 6:26
  hey,
• 6:27
  can
• 6:27
  you
• 6:27
  make
• 6:27
  sure
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  water
• 6:28
  your
• 6:28
  flower
• 6:28
  beds
• 6:28
  around
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  outside
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  lawn?
• 6:30
  It's
• 6:30
  probably
• 6:31
  going
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  save
• 6:31
  your
• 6:31
  foundation
• 6:32
  or
• 6:32
  at
• 6:32
  least
• 6:33
  help
• 6:33
  it.
• 6:34
  You
• 6:34
  know,
• 6:34
  that's
• 6:34
  interesting
• 6:35
  because
• 6:35
  that's
• 6:35
  what
• 6:35
  they
• 6:35
  do
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  Houston
• 6:36
  now
• 6:37
  in
• 6:37
  Phoenix,
• 6:38
  where
• 6:38
  it's
• 6:38
  a
• 6:38
  desert,
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  would
• 6:39
  never
• 6:39
  do
• 6:39
  that.
• 6:40
  So
• 6:40
  you
• 6:41
  have
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  talk
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  the
• 6:42
  engineers
• 6:42
  and
• 6:43
  see
• 6:43
  what
• 6:44
  their
• 6:44
  recommendations
• 6:45
  are
• 6:45
  for
• 6:46
  that.
• 6:46
  Because
• 6:47
  regionally
• 6:47
  they're
• 6:48
  going
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  change
• 6:48
  depending
• 6:49
  on
• 6:49
  annual
• 6:50
  rainfall,
• 6:51
  depending
• 6:51
  on
• 6:51
  soil
• 6:52
  conditions,
• 6:52
  depending
• 6:53
  on
• 6:53
  a
• 6:53
  lot
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  things.
• 6:54
  And
• 6:55
  you
• 6:55
  can
• 6:55
  save
• 6:55
  yourself
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  lot
• 6:56
  of
• 6:56
  trouble
• 6:56
  just
• 6:56
  with
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  smart
• 6:58
  conversation
• 6:58
  with
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  good
• 6:59
  geotechnical
• 7:00
  engineer
• 7:00
  and
• 7:01
  listen
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  their
• 7:01
  recommendations.
• 7:02
  That
• 7:03
  has
• 7:03
  always
• 7:03
  been
• 7:04
  my
• 7:04
  first
• 7:04
  thing.
• 7:04
  If
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  notice
• 7:05
  cracks
• 7:06
  in
• 7:06
  your
• 7:06
  foundation,
• 7:06
  cracks
• 7:07
  in
• 7:07
  the
• 7:08
  drywall,
• 7:08
  doors
• 7:09
  and
• 7:09
  stuff
• 7:09
  not
• 7:10
  opening,
• 7:11
  I've
• 7:11
  always
• 7:11
  said
• 7:11
  before,
• 7:11
  you
• 7:12
  call
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  foundation
• 7:13
  company,
• 7:14
  call
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  engineer
• 7:15
  first
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  get
• 7:15
  their
• 7:15
  recommendations.
• 7:16
  What
• 7:16
  do
• 7:16
  you
• 7:17
  think
• 7:17
  about
• 7:17
  that?
• 7:17
  That
• 7:17
  is
• 7:17
  my
• 7:17
  number
• 7:18
  one
• 7:18
  recommendation
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  I'll
• 7:19
  tell
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  why.
• 7:20
  There's
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  bunch
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  reasons.
• 7:21
  But
• 7:21
  let's
• 7:21
  just
• 7:22
  take
• 7:22
  Susie's
• 7:23
  Q
• 7:23
  homeowner.
• 7:23
  She
• 7:24
  calls
• 7:24
  out
• 7:24
  three
• 7:25
  contractors.
• 7:25
  One
• 7:25
  contractor
• 7:26
  says,
• 7:26
  oh,
• 7:26
  you
• 7:26
  need
• 7:27
  15

  peers
• 7:27
  on
• 7:27
  this
• 7:28
  side
• 7:28
  of
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  house.
• 7:28
  The
• 7:28
  other
• 7:28
  one
• 7:28
  Says,
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  need.
• 7:29
  Oh,
• 7:29
  no,
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  need
• 7:29
  12
• 7:30
  on
• 7:30
  this
• 7:30
  side
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  house.
• 7:31
  And
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  other
• 7:31
  one
• 7:31
  says,
• 7:31
  no,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  need
• 7:32
  25
• 7:32
  all
• 7:32
  the
• 7:33
  way
• 7:33
  around.
• 7:33
  Now,
• 7:34
  as
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  homeowner,
• 7:35
  how
• 7:36
  would
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  know?
• 7:36
  You
• 7:36
  don't.
• 7:37
  You're
• 7:37
  not
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  professional.
• 7:38
  You
• 7:38
  have
• 7:38
  no
• 7:38
  idea.
• 7:40
  And
• 7:40
  that's
• 7:40
  what
• 7:40
  these
• 7:41
  companies
• 7:41
  bank
• 7:41
  on.
• 7:42
  They're
• 7:42
  banking
• 7:43
  on
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  fact
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  their
• 7:43
  proposal
• 7:44
  is
• 7:44
  different
• 7:45
  so
• 7:45
  they
• 7:45
  don't
• 7:45
  have
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  compare
• 7:46
  apples
• 7:46
  to
• 7:46
  apples.
• 7:47
  And
• 7:47
  so
• 7:47
  then
• 7:48
  in
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  end,
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  just
• 7:49
  end
• 7:49
  up
• 7:49
  going
• 7:50
  with
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  guy
• 7:50
  you're
• 7:50
  most
• 7:50
  comfortable
• 7:51
  with,
• 7:51
  which
• 7:51
  is
• 7:51
  the
• 7:52
  best
• 7:52
  salesman,
• 7:53
  which
• 7:53
  probably
• 7:54
  is
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  least
• 7:54
  qualified
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  act
• 7:55
  as
• 7:55
  an
• 7:56
  engineer,
• 7:56
  because
• 7:56
  that's
• 7:57
  what
• 7:57
  these
• 7:57
  sales
• 7:57
  consultants
• 7:58
  are
• 7:58
  doing.
• 7:58
  They're
• 7:59
  doing
• 7:59
  geotechnical
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  structural
• 8:01
  engineering
• 8:01
  without
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  license.
• 8:02
  Basically,
• 8:03
  yeah.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  if
• 8:03
  you've
• 8:04
  got
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  clay
• 8:04
  soil
• 8:04
  issue,
• 8:05
  maybe
• 8:05
  those
• 8:05
  piles
• 8:06
  are
• 8:06
  not
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  answer.
• 8:07
  Right.
• 8:08
  It
• 8:08
  could
• 8:08
  be
• 8:08
  a
• 8:08
  heat
• 8:09
  problem
• 8:09
  and
• 8:09
  it
• 8:10
  may
• 8:10
  not
• 8:10
  need
• 8:10
  underpinning
• 8:11
  at
• 8:11
  all.
• 8:12
  You
• 8:12
  may
• 8:12
  just
• 8:12
  need
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  fix
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  drainage.
• 8:13
  There's
• 8:13
  lots
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  things.
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  need
• 8:14
  to
• 8:15
  monitor
• 8:15
  it.
• 8:15
  One
• 8:15
  of
• 8:16
  the,
• 8:16
  one
• 8:16
  of
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  myths
• 8:16
  is,
• 8:16
  ah,
• 8:17
  we
• 8:17
  got
• 8:17
  cracks,
• 8:17
  we
• 8:17
  gotta
• 8:18
  underpin
• 8:18
  it
• 8:18
  right
• 8:18
  away.
• 8:18
  No,
• 8:19
  that's
• 8:19
  not
• 8:19
  true.
• 8:20
  You
• 8:20
  can
• 8:20
  monitor
• 8:20
  it.
• 8:21
  Get
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  good
• 8:21
  geotechnical
• 8:22
  engineer,
• 8:22
  a
• 8:22
  forensic
• 8:23
  engineer
• 8:23
  out
• 8:23
  there.
• 8:24
  He
• 8:24
  may
• 8:25
  say,
• 8:25
  hey,
• 8:26
  yeah,
• 8:26
  you've
• 8:26
  got
• 8:26
  some
• 8:27
  problems,
• 8:27
  but
• 8:27
  it's
• 8:28
  not
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  end
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  world.
• 8:29
  Or,
• 8:29
  hey,
• 8:30
  let's
• 8:30
  monitor
• 8:30
  it
• 8:30
  for
• 8:31
  six
• 8:31
  months
• 8:31
  to
• 8:31
  a
• 8:32
  year
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  see
• 8:32
  how
• 8:32
  much
• 8:32
  it's
• 8:33
  still
• 8:33
  moving.
• 8:33
  It
• 8:33
  may
• 8:33
  be
• 8:34
  all
• 8:34
  done
• 8:34
  moving.
• 8:35
  Those
• 8:35
  are
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  kinds
• 8:35
  of
• 8:36
  things
• 8:36
  that
• 8:36
  you're
• 8:36
  going
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  get
• 8:36
  from
• 8:37
  engineers.
• 8:37
  Now,
• 8:38
  engineer
• 8:38
  is
• 8:39
  not
• 8:39
  going
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  be
• 8:39
  free.
• 8:40
  Foundation
• 8:40
  repair
• 8:41
  companies,
• 8:41
  they're
• 8:41
  going
• 8:41
  to
• 8:41
  send
• 8:42
  out
• 8:42
  their
• 8:43
  analysis,
• 8:43
  which
• 8:44
  is
• 8:44
  basically
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  sales
• 8:45
  pitch
• 8:45
  disguised
• 8:46
  as
• 8:46
  analysis
• 8:46
  for
• 8:47
  free.
• 8:47
  But
• 8:48
  look
• 8:48
  at
• 8:48
  it
• 8:48
  this
• 8:48
  way.
• 8:49
  Would
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  go
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  a
• 8:49
  doctor
• 8:50
  and
• 8:50
  pay
• 8:50
  good
• 8:51
  money
• 8:51
  if
• 8:51
  you
• 8:51
  had
• 8:51
  a
• 8:51
  serious
• 8:52
  problem,
• 8:52
  or
• 8:53
  would
• 8:53
  you
• 8:53
  go
• 8:53
  for
• 8:53
  free
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  a
• 8:54
  pharmaceutical
• 8:54
  rep?
• 8:55
  That's
• 8:55
  about
• 8:56
  what
• 8:56
  it
• 8:56
  turns
• 8:56
  into.
• 8:57
  You're
• 8:57
  right.
• 8:58
  And
• 8:58
  you
• 8:58
  know
• 8:58
  what?
• 8:58
  If
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  get
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  good
• 8:59
  geotechnical
• 9:00
  engineer
• 9:00
  and
• 9:01
  he
• 9:01
  says,
• 9:01
  okay,
• 9:02
  yeah,
• 9:02
  it's
• 9:03
  still
• 9:03
  moving,
• 9:03
  yeah,
• 9:04
  we
• 9:04
  need
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  fix
• 9:04
  it,
• 9:04
  we
• 9:05
  need
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  underpin
• 9:05
  it.
• 9:06
  Now
• 9:06
  he'll
• 9:07
  say,
• 9:07
  he'll
• 9:07
  give
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  a
• 9:08
  plan
• 9:08
  that
• 9:08
  says,
• 9:09
  put
• 9:09
  in
• 9:10
  13
• 9:10
  peers
• 9:11
  right
• 9:11
  here.
• 9:12
  No
• 9:12
  more,
• 9:12
  no
• 9:12
  less.
• 9:13
  Well,
• 9:13
  now,
• 9:13
  that's
• 9:14
  right.
• 9:14
  And
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  can
• 9:15
  go
• 9:15
  get
• 9:15
  that
• 9:16
  three
• 9:16
  bids,
• 9:16
  and
• 9:17
  guess
• 9:17
  what?
• 9:17
  All
• 9:17
  those
• 9:17
  guys
• 9:18
  are
• 9:18
  going
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  sharpen
• 9:18
  their
• 9:19
  pencil
• 9:19
  because
• 9:19
  they
• 9:19
  know
• 9:19
  they're
• 9:19
  bidding
• 9:20
  apples
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  apples.
• 9:21
  You're
• 9:21
  probably
• 9:21
  going
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  save
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  money
• 9:22
  that
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  spent
• 9:23
  and
• 9:23
  more
• 9:24
  with
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  engineer.
• 9:26
  And
• 9:26
  the
• 9:26
  beautiful
• 9:27
  thing
• 9:27
  is,
• 9:27
  if
• 9:27
  you
• 9:28
  go
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  sell
• 9:28
  that
• 9:28
  house
• 9:29
  one
• 9:29
  day,
• 9:29
  you
• 9:29
  go,
• 9:29
  here's
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  engineer's
• 9:30
  report
• 9:31
  stamped,
• 9:32
  and
• 9:33
  here's
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  fix
• 9:33
  that
• 9:34
  I
• 9:34
  had
• 9:34
  done.
• 9:34
  It
• 9:34
  is
• 9:35
  good
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  gold
• 9:36
  versus
• 9:37
  the
• 9:37
  foundation
• 9:37
  salesperson
• 9:38
  talked
• 9:39
  me
• 9:39
  into
• 9:39
  doing.
• 9:40
  Well.
• 9:40
  And
• 9:40
  let
• 9:40
  me
• 9:40
  tell
• 9:41
  you,
• 9:41
  all
• 9:41
  these
• 9:41
  foundation
• 9:42
  repair
• 9:42
  companies,
• 9:42
  they
• 9:43
  give
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  lifetime
• 9:43
  warranty,
• 9:44
  right?
• 9:45
  That's
• 9:45
  not
• 9:45
  worth
• 9:45
  the
• 9:45
  paper
• 9:46
  it's
• 9:46
  written
• 9:46
  on.
• 9:46
  There
• 9:47
  are
• 9:47
  so
• 9:47
  many
• 9:47
  get
• 9:48
  out
• 9:48
  of
• 9:48
  jail
• 9:48
  free
• 9:48
  cards
• 9:49
  in
• 9:49
  that
• 9:49
  thing.
• 9:49
  I'll
• 9:50
  give
• 9:50
  you
• 9:50
  an
• 9:50
  example.
• 9:51
  So
• 9:51
  five
• 9:52
  years
• 9:52
  later,
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  homeowner
• 9:53
  calls
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  contractor
• 9:54
  and
• 9:54
  says,
• 9:54
  hello,
• 9:55
  yeah,
• 9:55
  my
• 9:56
  house
• 9:56
  is
• 9:56
  cracking
• 9:56
  all
• 9:57
  up
• 9:57
  again.
• 9:57
  Your
• 9:57
  foundation
• 9:58
  fix
• 9:58
  isn't
• 9:58
  working.
• 9:59
  Come
• 9:59
  out
• 9:59
  here
• 9:59
  and
• 9:59
  honor
• 9:59
  your
• 10:00
  lifetime
• 10:00
  warranty.
• 10:01
  So
• 10:01
  then
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  foundation
• 10:02
  repair
• 10:02
  salesman
• 10:03
  or
• 10:03
  contractor
• 10:04
  sends
• 10:04
  out
• 10:05
  a
• 10:05
  really
• 10:05
  experienced
• 10:06
  guy,
• 10:06
  and
• 10:06
  he
• 10:07
  says,
• 10:07
  oh,
• 10:08
  well,
• 10:08
  this
• 10:08
  problem
• 10:09
  is
• 10:09
  from
• 10:09
  heave.
• 10:10
  And
• 10:10
  it
• 10:11
  says
• 10:11
  right
• 10:11
  here
• 10:11
  in
• 10:11
  our
• 10:11
  contract
• 10:12
  that
• 10:12
  our
• 10:12
  peers
• 10:13
  can't
• 10:13
  fix
• 10:13
  Heave.
• 10:14
  So,
• 10:14
  hey,
• 10:14
  have
• 10:14
  a
• 10:14
  nice
• 10:15
  life.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:16
  the
• 10:16
  whole
• 10:16
  one
• 10:16
  is,
• 10:17
  oh,
• 10:17
  now
• 10:17
  what?
• 10:18
  And
• 10:18
  if
• 10:18
  they're
• 10:19
  really
• 10:19
  smart,
• 10:19
  they
• 10:19
  might
• 10:19
  go,
• 10:20
  hey,
• 10:20
  wait,
• 10:20
  wait.
• 10:21
  If
• 10:21
  it's
• 10:21
  heave,
• 10:22
  didn't
• 10:23
  you
• 10:23
  diagnose
• 10:23
  it
• 10:23
  wrong
• 10:24
  in
• 10:24
  the
• 10:24
  first
• 10:24
  place?
• 10:25
  Correct.
• 10:25
  And
• 10:25
  the
• 10:26
  contractor
• 10:26
  says,
• 10:27
  hey,
• 10:27
  what
• 10:27
  do
• 10:27
  we
• 10:27
  know?
• 10:28
  We're
• 10:29
  not
• 10:29
  engineers.
• 10:29
  We're
• 10:30
  just
• 10:30
  stupid
• 10:30
  contractors.
• 12:12
  See
• 10:31
  ya.
• 12:13
  It's
• 12:13
  like
• 12:13
  house
• 12:14
  inspections.
• 12:14
  When

  professional

  engineer

• 15:18
  absolutely
• 15:19
  not
• 15:19
  true.
• 15:19
  And
• 15:20
  I'll
• 15:20
  tell
• 15:20
  you
• 15:20
  why.
• 15:21
  Because
• 15:21
  an
• 15:21
  engineer
• 15:22
  cannot
• 15:23
  put
• 15:23
  his
• 15:23
  seal
• 15:24
  to
• 15:24
  anything
• 15:24
  that
• 15:25
  he
• 15:25
  did
• 15:25
  not
• 15:25
  gather
• 15:25
  the
• 15:25
  data
• 15:26
  for,
• 15:26
  or
• 15:27
  somebody
• 15:27
  under
• 15:28
  his
• 15:28
  direct
• 15:28
  employee
• 15:29
  gathered
• 15:29
  the
• 15:30
  data
• 15:30
  for,
• 15:30
  which
• 15:30
  means
• 15:31
  if
• 15:31
  somebody
• 15:31
  from
• 15:31
  another
• 15:32
  company
• 15:32
  gathered
• 15:33
  the
• 15:33
  data,
• 15:33
  the
• 15:33
  engineer
• 15:34
  cannot
• 15:34
  put
• 15:34
  his
• 15:34
  seal
• 15:35
  to
• 15:35
  it.
• 15:35
  So,
• 15:36
  in
• 15:36
  fact,
• 15:36
  when
• 15:37
  you
• 15:37
  go
• 15:37
  to
• 15:37
  pull
• 15:37
  permits,
• 15:38
  the
• 15:38
  only
• 15:38
  requirement
• 15:39
  that
• 15:39
  the
• 15:39
  city
• 15:40
  has
• 15:41
  for
• 15:41
  the
• 15:41
  engineer
• 15:41
  to
• 15:41
  put
• 15:41
  his
• 15:42
  seal
• 15:42
  to
• 15:43
  is
• 15:43
  a
• 15:43
  spacing
• 15:44
  calculation
• 15:44
  for
• 15:44
  piers.
• 15:45
  All
• 15:45
  they
• 15:45
  want
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  do
• 15:46
  is
• 15:46
  make
• 15:46
  sure
• 15:46
  you're
• 15:46
  not
• 15:46
  putting
• 15:46
  them
• 15:47
  too
• 15:47
  far
• 15:47
  apart
• 15:47
  so
• 15:48
  that
• 15:48
  the
• 15:48
  house
• 15:48
  droops
• 15:48
  between
• 15:49
  the
• 15:49
  piers.
• 15:49
  It's
• 15:50
  not
• 15:50
  that
• 15:50
  hard
• 15:50
  to
• 15:50
  do.
• 15:51
  A
• 15:51
  monkey
• 15:51
  could
• 15:52
  do
• 15:52
  that
• 15:52
  calculation.
• 15:53
  It's
• 15:53
  super
• 15:54
  easy.
• 15:54
  Most
• 15:54
  of
• 15:54
  the
• 15:54
  time
• 15:55
  it's
• 15:55
  either
• 15:55
  6ft
• 15:55
  or
• 15:56
  8ft,
• 15:56
  unless
• 15:56
  it's
• 15:57
  a
• 15:57
  really
• 15:57
  old
• 15:57
  house
• 15:57
  without
• 15:57
  rebar
• 15:58
  in
• 15:58
  the
• 15:58
  footings
• 15:58
  or
• 15:59
  something.
• 15:59
  But
• 15:59
  the
• 16:00
  fact
• 16:00
  of
• 16:00
  the
• 16:00
  matter
• 16:00
  is,
• 16:01
  you
• 16:01
  could
• 16:02
  have
• 16:02
  piers
• 16:03
  on
• 16:03
  the
• 16:03
  wrong
• 16:03
  side
• 16:03
  of
• 16:04
  the
• 16:04
  house.
• 16:04
  You
• 16:04
  could
• 16:04
  have
• 16:04
  too
• 16:05
  many
• 16:05
  piers.
• 16:05
  You
• 16:05
  could
• 16:05
  have
• 16:06
  piers
• 16:06
  that
• 16:06
  aren't
• 16:06
  needed
• 16:07
  at
• 16:07
  all.
• 16:08
  There's
• 16:08
  nothing
• 16:08
  in
• 16:08
  the
• 16:08
  Permian
• 16:09
  process
• 16:09
  that
• 16:10
  corrects
• 16:10
  for
• 16:10
  any
• 16:10
  of
• 16:10
  those
• 16:10
  errors
• 16:11
  at
• 16:11
  all.
• 16:11
  And
• 16:12
  the
• 16:12
  engineer
• 16:12
  will
• 16:13
  not
• 16:13
  be
• 16:13
  able
• 16:13
  to
• 16:13
  fix
• 16:14
  any
• 16:14
  of
• 16:14
  those
• 16:14
  because
• 16:14
  he
• 16:15
  did
• 16:15
  not
• 16:15
  gather
• 16:15
  the
• 16:15
  data,
• 16:16
  he
• 16:16
  didn't
• 16:17
  understand
• 16:17
  the
• 16:17
  problem,
• 16:18
  and
• 16:18
  he
• 16:18
  didn't
• 16:18
  design
• 16:19
  the
• 16:19
  fix
• 16:19
  to
• 16:20
  the
• 16:20
  problem.
• 16:20
  Let
• 16:21
  me
• 16:21
  give
• 16:21
  you
• 16:21
  an
• 16:21
  example.
• 16:22
  I
• 16:22
  had
• 16:22
  a
• 16:22
  homeowner
• 16:23
  up
• 16:23
  here
• 16:23
  in
• 16:23
  Show
• 16:23
  Low
• 16:24
  who
• 16:25
  they
• 16:25
  had
• 16:25
  a
• 16:25
  block
• 16:26
  stem
• 16:26
  wall
• 16:26
  that
• 16:27
  never
• 16:27
  got
• 16:27
  grouted,
• 16:29
  and
• 16:29
  it
• 16:30
  had
• 16:30
  moved
• 16:31
  out
• 16:31
  from
• 16:32
  the
• 16:32
  house,
• 16:32
  and
• 16:33
  the
• 16:33
  house
• 16:33
  was
• 16:33
  sitting
• 16:34
  on
• 16:34
  like,
• 16:34
  the.
• 16:35
  The
• 16:35
  last
• 16:35
  inch
• 16:35
  and
• 16:35
  a
• 16:36
  half
• 16:36
  of
• 16:36
  block.
• 16:37
  And
• 16:37
  so
• 16:37
  the
• 16:37
  foundation
• 16:38
  company
• 16:38
  told
• 16:39
  her,
• 16:39
  oh,
• 16:39
  yeah,
• 16:40
  when
• 16:40
  we
• 16:40
  underpinned
• 16:40
  this,
• 16:41
  we're
• 16:41
  going
• 16:41
  to
• 16:41
  rotate
• 16:41
  that
• 16:41
  right
• 16:42
  back
• 16:42
  into
• 16:42
  place.
• 16:43
  Well,
• 16:43
  they
• 16:44
  underpinned
• 16:44
  it
• 16:45
  and
• 16:45
  it
• 16:45
  didn't
• 16:46
  rotate
• 16:46
  back
• 16:46
  into
• 16:47
  place.
• 16:47
  And
• 16:47
  so
• 16:47
  then
• 16:47
  they.
• 16:48
  And
• 16:48
  they
• 16:48
  pulled
• 16:48
  a
• 16:48
  permit.
• 16:49
  They
• 16:49
  had
• 16:49
  an
• 16:50
  engineer
• 16:50
  put
• 16:50
  a
• 16:50
  seal
• 16:51
  on
• 16:51
  the
• 16:51
  drawings,
• 16:52
  the
• 16:52
  whole
• 16:53
  ball
• 16:53
  of
• 16:53
  wax.
• 16:53
  But
• 16:54
  when
• 16:54
  she
• 16:54
  said,
• 16:54
  hey,
• 16:55
  the
• 16:55
  reason
• 16:56
  I
• 16:56
  called
• 16:56
  you
• 16:56
  is
• 16:57
  for
• 16:57
  this.
• 16:57
  Can
• 16:58
  you.
• 16:58
  What
• 16:58
  happened?
• 16:58
  And
• 16:59
  they're
• 16:59
  like,
• 16:59
  well,
• 16:59
  if
• 17:00
  you
• 17:00
  really
• 17:00
  want
• 17:00
  that
• 17:01
  fixed,
• 17:01
  we're
• 17:01
  going
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  have
• 17:02
  to
• 17:02
  hire
• 17:03
  a
• 17:03
  mason
• 17:03
  contractor.
• 17:04
  It's
• 17:04
  going
• 17:05
  to
• 17:05
  cost
• 17:05
  you
• 17:05
  another
• 17:05
  $27,000.
• 17:07
  And
• 17:07
  she's.
• 17:07
  So
• 17:08
  I
• 17:08
  called
• 17:08
  the
• 17:08
  engineer,
• 17:09
  I
• 17:09
  said,
• 17:09
  hey,
• 17:10
  so
• 17:10
  what's
• 17:10
  the
• 17:10
  deal?
• 17:10
  How
• 17:11
  come
• 17:11
  you
• 17:11
  didn't
• 17:11
  address
• 17:11
  this
• 17:12
  problem?
• 17:12
  And
• 17:12
  he's.
• 17:12
  I
• 17:12
  didn't
• 17:13
  even
• 17:13
  know
• 17:13
  about
• 17:13
  that
• 17:13
  problem.
• 17:14
  They
• 17:14
  just
• 17:14
  told
• 17:15
  me
• 17:15
  they
• 17:15
  wanted
• 17:15
  peers
• 17:16
  at
• 17:16
  a
• 17:16
  certain
• 17:16
  spot,
• 17:16
  and
• 17:16
  I
• 17:16
  did
• 17:17
  the
• 17:17
  spacing
• 17:17
  calc.
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  that's
• 17:18
  exactly
• 17:19
  what
• 17:19
  happens.
• 17:20
  Ah,
• 17:21
  that's
• 17:21
  brutal.
• 17:21
  And
• 17:21
  I
• 17:22
  tell
• 17:22
  you
• 17:22
  what,
• 17:22
  I
• 17:22
  have
• 17:22
  had
• 17:23
  more
• 17:23
  issues,
• 17:24
  especially
• 17:24
  in
• 17:24
  my
• 17:25
  area
• 17:25
  where
• 17:25
  it's
• 17:25
  wet
• 17:26
  with
• 17:26
  CMU
• 17:26
  block
• 17:27
  foundations
• 17:27
  like
• 17:27
  that,
• 17:28
  concrete
• 17:28
  block
• 17:28
  foundations.
• 17:29
  Because
• 17:30
  many
• 17:30
  times
• 17:31
  here
• 17:31
  in
• 17:31
  our
• 17:31
  area,
• 17:31
  when
• 17:31
  they
• 17:32
  built
• 17:32
  these
• 17:32
  homes,
• 17:33
  especially
• 17:33
  20,
• 17:34
  30,
• 17:34
  40,
• 17:34
  50
• 17:35
  years
• 17:35
  ago,
• 17:35
  whatever
• 17:35
  they
• 17:35
  were,
• 17:36
  the
• 17:36
  inside
• 17:37
  of
• 17:37
  those
• 17:37
  hollow
• 17:37
  blocks
• 17:37
  didn't
• 17:38
  get
• 17:38
  filled
• 17:38
  up.
• 17:38
  And
• 17:39
  so
• 17:39
  you
• 17:39
  can
• 17:39
  have
• 17:39
  a
• 17:39
  leak
• 17:40
  someplace
• 17:40
  on
• 17:40
  the
• 17:41
  other
• 17:41
  side
• 17:41
  of
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  house.
• 17:42
  Yep.
• 17:42
  And
• 17:42
  it
• 17:43
  just
• 17:43
  leaks
• 17:43
  through
• 17:44
  and
• 17:44
  comes
• 17:44
  out
• 17:44
  on
• 17:45
  the
• 17:45
  other
• 17:45
  side
• 17:45
  of
• 17:45
  the
• 17:45
  house
• 17:45
  over
• 17:46
  there.
• 17:46
  The
• 17:47
  only
• 17:47
  way
• 17:47
  you
• 17:48
  can
• 17:48
  waterproof
• 17:48
  that
• 17:48
  foundation
• 17:49
  is
• 17:49
  from
• 17:49
  the
• 17:50
  outside,
• 17:50
  because
• 17:50
  otherwise
• 17:51
  you're
• 17:51
  chasing
• 17:52
  it
• 17:52
  forever.
• 17:52
  It's
• 17:53
  impossible.
• 17:54
  Right,
• 17:54
  I
• 17:54
  agree.
• 17:55
  It's
• 17:55
  just
• 17:56
  every
• 17:56
  time
• 17:56
  I
• 17:56
  see
• 17:56
  those,
• 17:57
  I
• 17:57
  go,
• 17:57
  oh,
• 17:57
  man,
• 17:58
  if
• 17:59
  that
• 17:59
  thing
• 17:59
  starts
• 17:59
  leaking,
• 18:00
  it's
• 18:01
  an
• 18:01
  excavation
• 18:01
  project.
• 18:02
  It
• 18:02
  is
• 18:03
  a
• 18:03
  problem.
• 18:03
  So
• 18:04
  what
• 18:04
  do
• 18:04
  you
• 18:04
  see
• 18:04
  out
• 18:05
  there
• 18:05
  when.
• 18:05
  What.
• 18:06
  What's
• 18:06
  the
• 18:06
  best
• 18:07
  mode
• 18:08
  for
• 18:08
  people
• 18:08
  to
• 18:08
  go
• 18:08
  down
• 18:09
  when
• 18:09
  they
• 18:09
  go,
• 18:09
  okay,
• 18:10
  I
• 18:10
  think
• 18:10
  I
• 18:10
  have
• 18:10
  a
• 18:10
  problem.
• 18:11
  Whether
• 18:11
  it's
• 18:12
  a
• 18:12
  house
• 18:12
  sinking
• 18:14
  or
• 18:14
  appears
• 18:14
  to
• 18:15
  be
• 18:15
  sinking
• 18:16
  or
• 18:17
  any
• 18:17
  of
• 18:17
  these
• 18:18
  kind
• 18:18
  of
• 18:18
  problems
• 18:18
  with
• 18:18
  foundation
• 18:19
  issues.
• 18:19
  Of
• 18:19
  course,
• 18:20
  we
• 18:20
  start
• 18:20
  out
• 18:20
  with
• 18:20
  the
• 18:20
  engineer,
• 18:22
  but
• 18:22
  is
• 18:22
  there
• 18:22
  anything
• 18:23
  people
• 18:23
  should
• 18:23
  be
• 18:23
  looking
• 18:24
  for
• 18:24
  when
• 18:24
  they're
• 18:24
  out
• 18:25
  finding,
• 18:25
  looking
• 18:25
  for
• 18:26
  that
• 18:26
  contractor
• 18:26
  out
• 18:26
  there
• 18:27
  that
• 18:27
  you
• 18:27
  recommend?
• 18:28
  Well,
• 18:28
  let
• 18:28
  me
• 18:28
  just
• 18:28
  say
• 18:29
  this
• 18:29
  because
• 18:29
  I
• 18:29
  like
• 18:29
  to
• 18:29
  beat
• 18:30
  on
• 18:30
  the
• 18:30
  industry
• 18:30
  a
• 18:30
  lot,
• 18:31
  but
• 18:31
  the
• 18:31
  fact
• 18:31
  of
• 18:31
  the
• 18:31
  matter
• 18:32
  is
• 18:32
  that
• 18:32
  most
• 18:33
  of
• 18:33
  the
• 18:33
  time
• 18:34
  when
• 18:34
  somebody's
• 18:35
  putting
• 18:35
  in
• 18:35
  peers,
• 18:36
  they're
• 18:36
  doing
• 18:37
  a
• 18:37
  pretty
• 18:37
  good
• 18:37
  job.
• 18:38
  The
• 18:38
  peers
• 18:39
  are
• 18:39
  good
• 18:39
  products
• 18:40
  for
• 18:40
  the
• 18:40
  most
• 18:41
  part,
• 18:41
  and
• 18:41
  the
• 18:41
  contractors
• 18:42
  putting
• 18:42
  them
• 18:43
  in
• 18:43
  do
• 18:43
  a
• 18:43
  pretty
• 18:44
  good
• 18:44
  job.
• 18:44
  I'm
• 18:44
  not
• 18:44
  saying
• 18:44
  they're
• 18:45
  perfect,
• 18:45
  but
• 18:45
  they
• 18:45
  do
• 18:46
  a
• 18:46
  pretty
• 18:46
  good
• 18:46
  job.
• 18:47
  And
• 18:47
  honestly,
• 18:48
  the
• 18:48
  thing
• 18:49
  that
• 18:49
  you
• 18:49
  need
• 18:49
  to
• 18:49
  be
• 18:49
  careful
• 18:49
  of
• 18:50
  is
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  diagnosis
• 18:52
  once
• 18:52
  you
• 18:52
  get
• 18:52
  a
• 18:52
  plan.
• 18:54
  One
• 18:54
  of
• 18:54
  the
• 18:54
  things
• 18:54
  that
• 18:54
  I
• 18:54
  would
• 18:55
  do,
• 18:55
  because
• 18:56
  most
• 18:57
  of
• 18:57
  the
• 18:57
  time,
• 18:57
  city
• 18:57
  inspectors
• 18:58
  don't
• 18:58
  really
• 18:58
  understand
• 18:59
  what's
• 18:59
  going
• 18:59
  on
• 19:00
  with
• 19:00
  this
• 19:00
  kind
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  stuff.
• 19:00
  And
• 19:01
  so
• 19:01
  then
• 19:01
  they
• 19:01
  hire.
• 19:02
  They
• 19:02
  want
• 19:02
  you
• 19:02
  to
• 19:02
  hire
• 19:03
  a
• 19:03
  special
• 19:03
  inspector.
• 19:04
  Well,
• 19:04
  a
• 19:04
  lot
• 19:04
  of
• 19:04
  times
• 19:05
  the
• 19:05
  city
• 19:05
  leaves
• 19:06
  it
• 19:06
  up
• 19:06
  the
• 19:06
  contractor
• 19:07
  to
• 19:07
  hire
• 19:07
  their
• 19:07
  own
• 19:07
  special
• 19:07
  inspector.
• 19:08
  Well,
• 19:08
  that's
• 19:08
  like
• 19:08
  the
• 19:09
  fox
• 19:09
  guarding
• 19:09
  the
• 19:09
  henhouse.
• 19:10
  That's
• 19:10
  dumb.
• 19:10
  Why
• 19:11
  would
• 19:11
  you
• 19:11
  do
• 19:11
  that?
• 19:12
  The
• 19:12
  better
• 19:12
  way
• 19:12
  is
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  have
• 19:13
  the
• 19:13
  engineer
• 19:14
  that
• 19:14
  designs
• 19:14
  the
• 19:14
  plan
• 19:15
  be
• 19:15
  the
• 19:15
  special
• 19:15
  inspector.
• 19:16
  He's
• 19:16
  the
• 19:17
  one
• 19:17
  that
• 19:17
  holds
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  contractor
• 19:18
  accountable.
• 19:18
  And.
• 19:19
  And
• 19:19
  if
• 19:19
  the
• 19:19
  contractor
• 19:20
  doesn't
• 19:20
  get
• 19:20
  something
• 19:20
  right,
• 19:21
  he's
• 19:21
  going
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  insist
• 19:22
  because
• 19:22
  he's
• 19:22
  going
• 19:22
  to
• 19:22
  put
• 19:22
  his
• 19:23
  seal
• 19:23
  on
• 19:23
  it.
• 19:23
  Right.
• 19:24
  And
• 19:24
  guess
• 19:24
  what?
• 19:25
  Here's
• 19:25
  what
• 19:25
  happens.
• 19:26
  A
• 19:26
  lot
• 19:26
  of
• 19:26
  times
• 19:26
  you
• 19:26
  get
• 19:26
  halfway
• 19:27
  through
• 19:27
  the
• 19:27
  project,
• 19:29
  and
• 19:29
  what
• 19:29
  happens,
• 19:30
  oh,
• 19:30
  Mr.
• 19:30
  Jones.
• 19:31
  Yeah.
• 19:32
  We're
• 19:32
  going
• 19:32
  to
• 19:32
  need
• 19:32
  to
• 19:33
  add
• 19:33
  five
• 19:33
  more
• 19:33
  peers
• 19:34
  to
• 19:34
  your
• 19:34
  project.
• 19:35
  How's
• 19:36
  the
• 19:36
  homeowner
• 19:36
  know
• 19:36
  that?
• 19:37
  They're
• 19:37
  like,
• 19:37
  you
• 19:37
  have
• 19:37
  no
• 19:37
  idea.
• 19:38
  If
• 19:38
  they
• 19:38
  push
• 19:38
  back
• 19:39
  and
• 19:39
  go,
• 19:39
  well,
• 19:40
  no,
• 19:40
  I
• 19:40
  don't
• 19:40
  want
• 19:40
  to
• 19:41
  add
• 19:41
  five
• 19:41
  peers.
• 19:41
  Then
• 19:42
  the
• 19:42
  contractor
• 19:42
  says,
• 19:42
  well,
• 19:43
  okay,
• 19:43
  then
• 19:43
  we
• 19:43
  can't
• 19:44
  warranty
• 19:44
  your

  Oh,

  no,
• 19:46
  okay,
• 19:46
  well,
• 19:47
  I'll
• 19:47
  spend
• 19:47
  the
• 19:47
  extra
• 19:48
  $25,000.
• 19:49
  And
• 19:49
  the
• 19:49
  fact
• 19:50
  of
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50
  matter
• 19:50
  is,
• 19:50
  if
• 19:51
  you
• 19:51
  have
• 19:51
  an
• 19:51
  engineer
• 19:52
  who
• 19:52
  designed
• 19:52
  the
• 19:53
  plan,
• 19:53
  and
• 19:53
  now
• 19:54
  the
• 19:54
  contractor
• 19:54
  comes
• 19:54
  and
• 19:55
  says,
• 19:55
  hey,
• 19:55
  we
• 19:56
  need
• 19:56
  to
• 19:56
  add
• 19:56
  five
• 19:56
  Peers.
• 19:57
  And
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  engineer
• 19:57
  is
• 19:57
  going
• 19:57
  to
• 19:58
  say,
• 19:58
  all
• 19:58
  right,
• 19:59
  hog
• 19:59
  breath,
• 19:59
  explain
• 20:00
  this
• 20:00
  to
• 20:00
  me.
• 20:00
  Justify
• 20:01
  it
• 20:01
  to
• 20:01
  me.
• 20:02
  They're
• 20:02
  going
• 20:02
  to
• 20:02
  be
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  lot
• 20:03
  more
• 20:03
  careful.
• 20:04
  And
• 20:04
  you
• 20:04
  got
• 20:04
  somebody
• 20:05
  that
• 20:05
  knows
• 20:05
  what
• 20:05
  they're
• 20:06
  doing,
• 20:06
  watching
• 20:07
  out
• 20:07
  for
• 20:07
  change
• 20:07
  orders
• 20:08
  that
• 20:08
  are
• 20:08
  not
• 20:08
  authorized.
• 20:09
  I'd
• 20:09
  say,
• 20:10
  at
• 20:10
  least
• 20:11
  in
• 20:11
  my
• 20:11
  area
• 20:12
  of
• 20:12
  experience,
• 20:13
  half
• 20:13
  the
• 20:13
  projects
• 20:13
  that
• 20:14
  get
• 20:14
  installed
• 20:14
  have
• 20:14
  change
• 20:15
  orders.
• 20:16
  That's
• 20:16
  incredible.
• 20:17
  You
• 20:17
  think
• 20:17
  about
• 20:17
  how
• 20:18
  many
• 20:18
  change
• 20:18
  orders
• 20:18
  that
• 20:19
  is
• 20:19
  because
• 20:19
  they
• 20:19
  dive
• 20:20
  into
• 20:20
  it,
• 20:20
  and

  Yeah,

  Whatever.

• 21:18
  a
• 21:19
  one
• 21:19
  fix
• 21:19
  all.
• 21:19
  But
• 21:19
  what's
• 21:20
  your
• 21:20
  favorite
• 21:20
  way?
• 21:21
  Honestly,
• 21:22
  if
• 21:22
  you're
• 21:22
  going
• 21:22
  to
• 21:22
  put
• 21:23
  a
• 21:23
  pier
• 21:23
  in
• 21:23
  the
• 21:23
  ground
• 21:24
  to
• 21:24
  fix
• 21:24
  a
• 21:25
  foundation,
• 21:25
  a
• 21:25
  helical
• 21:26
  pier
• 21:26
  or
• 21:26
  a
• 21:26
  push
• 21:26
  pier,
• 21:27
  you
• 21:27
  could
• 21:27
  do
• 21:27
  a
• 21:28
  micropile,
• 21:28
  but
• 21:28
  nobody's
• 21:29
  going
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  do
• 21:29
  that.
• 21:29
  Nobody's
• 21:30
  going
• 21:30
  to
• 21:30
  spend
• 21:30
  that
• 21:30
  kind
• 21:30
  of
• 21:30
  money
• 21:31
  unless
• 21:31
  you're
• 21:31
  in
• 21:31
  a
• 21:31
  really
• 21:31
  rocky
• 21:32
  situation.
• 21:33
  I
• 21:33
  have
• 21:33
  a
• 21:33
  friend
• 21:33
  who
• 21:34
  owns
• 21:34
  a
• 21:34
  business
• 21:34
  up
• 21:34
  there
• 21:35
  in
• 21:35
  Reno,
• 21:35
  and
• 21:35
  it's
• 21:35
  all
• 21:36
  rock,
• 21:36
  so
• 21:36
  that's
• 21:36
  mostly
• 21:37
  what
• 21:37
  they
• 21:37
  do.
• 21:37
  But
• 21:37
  other
• 21:38
  than
• 21:38
  that,
• 21:38
  push
• 21:39
  piers,
• 21:39
  helical
• 21:39
  piers
• 21:40
  are
• 21:40
  going
• 21:40
  to
• 21:40
  work
• 21:40
  great.
• 21:40
  The
• 21:41
  question
• 21:41
  is,
• 21:41
  is
• 21:42
  that
• 21:42
  fix
• 21:42
  the
• 21:42
  problem
• 21:43
  if
• 21:43
  you've
• 21:43
  got
• 21:43
  a
• 21:43
  heat
• 21:44
  problem?
• 21:44
  Well,
• 21:44
  now
• 21:45
  what?
• 21:45
  Well,
• 21:45
  I
• 21:46
  developed
• 21:46
  a
• 21:46
  patented
• 21:47
  system
• 21:48
  that
• 21:48
  dries
• 21:49
  out
• 21:49
  the
• 21:49
  clays
• 21:50
  underneath
• 21:51
  the
• 21:51
  foundation
• 21:51
  called
• 21:52
  the
• 21:52
  moisture
• 21:52
  level
• 21:52
  system,
• 21:53
  and
• 21:53
  it
• 21:53
  runs
• 21:54
  air
• 21:54
  through
• 21:54
  the
• 21:54
  gravel
• 21:55
  layer
• 21:55
  that's
• 21:55
  right
• 21:56
  under
• 21:56
  the
• 21:56
  concrete,
• 21:57
  and
• 21:57
  then
• 21:57
  it
• 21:57
  dries
• 21:58
  out
• 21:58
  those
• 21:58
  clays
• 21:59
  over
• 21:59
  time.
• 22:00
  And
• 22:00
  the
• 22:00
  idea
• 22:01
  is
• 22:01
  to
• 22:01
  keep
• 22:01
  them
• 22:01
  from.
• 22:02
  To
• 22:02
  stop
• 22:02
  them
• 22:03
  from
• 22:03
  swelling.
• 22:03
  Right.
• 22:04
  And
• 22:05
  it
• 22:05
  does
• 22:06
  work.
• 22:06
  It
• 22:06
  removed
• 22:07
  about
• 22:07
  26
• 22:08
  gallons
• 22:08
  of
• 22:09
  water
• 22:09
  every
• 22:09
  day
• 22:10
  on
• 22:10
  the
• 22:11
  average.
• 22:11
  Pretty
• 22:12
  good
• 22:12
  little
• 22:12
  system.
• 24:09
  Another
• 24:09
  innovation
• 24:10
  that
• 24:10
  I'm
• 24:10
  working
• 24:11
  on
• 24:11
  is
• 24:12
  interior
• 24:13
  floor
• 24:13
  Slab.
• 24:13
  If
• 24:14
  you
• 24:14
  want
• 24:14
  to
• 24:14
  raise
• 24:14
  up
• 24:14
  an
• 24:15
  interior
• 24:15
  floor
• 24:15
  slab,
• 24:16
  let's
• 24:16
  say
• 24:16
  it's
• 24:16
  on
• 24:16
  clays
• 24:17
  and
• 24:17
  you
• 24:17
  don't
• 24:17
  want
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  put
• 24:17
  a
• 24:17
  foam
• 24:18
  underneath
• 24:18
  there.
• 24:19
  Well,
• 24:19
  you
• 24:19
  raise
• 24:20
  it
• 24:20
  up
• 24:20
  with
• 24:20
  foam
• 24:21
  and
• 24:21
  now
• 24:21
  those
• 24:21
  clays
• 24:22
  get
• 24:22
  wet.
• 24:23
  Oh,
• 24:23
  man.
• 24:23
  Now
• 24:24
  you're
• 24:24
  going
• 24:24
  to
• 24:24
  really
• 24:24
  heave
• 24:25
  like
• 24:25
  crazy.
• 24:25
  Right.
• 24:25
  So
• 24:26
  that's
• 24:26
  a
• 24:26
  scary
• 24:26
  situation.
• 24:27
  You
• 24:27
  don't
• 24:27
  want
• 24:27
  to
• 24:27
  do
• 24:27
  that.
• 24:28
  But
• 24:28
  if
• 24:28
  you
• 24:28
  have
• 24:29
  to
• 24:29
  put
• 24:29
  in
• 24:29
  piers,
• 24:30
  you
• 24:30
  have
• 24:30
  to
• 24:30
  core
• 24:31
  in
• 24:31
  8
• 24:32
  inch
• 24:32
  holes
• 24:32
  in
• 24:32
  the
• 24:33
  slab
• 24:33
  every
• 24:33
  4ft
• 24:34
  on
• 24:34
  center.
• 24:35
  You
• 24:35
  just
• 24:35
  destroyed
• 24:36
  the
• 24:37
  integrity
• 24:37
  of
• 24:37
  the
• 24:37
  slab.
• 24:38
  And
• 24:39
  you
• 24:39
  spent
• 24:39
  about
• 24:40
  $300,000
• 24:42
  just
• 24:42
  to
• 24:42
  raise
• 24:42
  up
• 24:43
  a
• 24:43
  floor
• 24:43
  slab.
• 24:43
  Nobody's
• 24:44
  going
• 24:44
  to
• 24:44
  do
• 24:44
  that.
• 24:45
  Well,
• 24:45
  I've
• 24:46
  developed
• 24:46
  a
• 24:46
  system
• 24:46
  where
• 24:47
  you
• 24:47
  can
• 24:47
  core
• 24:47
  an
• 24:47
  inch
• 24:48
  and
• 24:48
  a
• 24:48
  half
• 24:48
  hole
• 24:49
  and
• 24:49
  use
• 24:49
  that
• 24:49
  to
• 24:50
  raise
• 24:50
  up
• 24:50
  a
• 24:50
  slab.
• 24:51
  Super
• 24:51
  cheap
• 24:52
  battery
• 24:52
  driven
• 24:53
  equipment,
• 24:54
  no
• 24:54
  hydraulics
• 24:55
  needed
• 24:56
  and
• 24:56
  super
• 24:57
  cheap,
• 24:57
  super
• 24:57
  fast.
• 24:58
  And
• 24:59
  stay
• 24:59
  tuned,
• 24:59
  we're
• 25:00
  doing
• 25:00
  the
• 25:00
  testing
• 25:00
  on
• 25:01
  this
• 25:01
  system
• 25:01
  right
• 25:01
  now.
• 25:02
  That
• 25:02
  is
• 25:02
  awesome.
• 25:03
  That
• 25:03
  is
• 25:03
  awesome.
• 25:04
  You
• 25:04
  just
• 25:05
  reminded
• 25:05
  me
• 25:05
  of
• 25:06
  the
• 25:06
  worst
• 25:07
  foundation
• 25:07
  nightmare
• 25:08
  I
• 25:08
  had
• 25:08
  walked
• 25:09
  into.
• 25:10
  And
• 25:10
  you've
• 25:10
  probably
• 25:11
  seen
• 25:11
  this
• 25:11
  before,
• 25:11
  but
• 25:12
  for
• 25:12
  me
• 25:12
  is
• 25:12
  only
• 25:13
  a
• 25:13
  couple
• 25:13
  of
• 25:13
  years
• 25:13
  in
• 25:13
  the
• 25:13
  industry.
• 25:14
  Somebody
• 25:15
  had
• 25:15
  put
• 25:15
  in
• 25:15
  a
• 25:15
  trough
• 25:16
  drain
• 25:16
  system
• 25:16
  around
• 25:16
  the
• 25:17
  house,
• 25:17
  one
• 25:17
  of
• 25:17
  those
• 25:17
  systems
• 25:18
  around
• 25:18
  the
• 25:18
  basement.
• 25:19
  And
• 25:19
  they
• 25:20
  kept
• 25:20
  going
• 25:20
  through
• 25:20
  sump
• 25:21
  pumps,
• 25:21
  but
• 25:22
  they
• 25:22
  were
• 25:22
  going
• 25:22
  through
• 25:22
  good
• 25:22
  sump
• 25:23
  pumps
• 25:23
  like
• 25:23
  zoellers
• 25:24
  every
• 25:24
  couple
• 25:24
  of
• 25:24
  years.
• 25:24
  And
• 25:24
  I'm
• 25:25
  like,
• 25:25
  oh,
• 25:25
  something's
• 25:26
  up.
• 25:26
  So
• 25:27
  go
• 25:27
  in
• 25:27
  there
• 25:27
  and
• 25:27
  I
• 25:27
  look
• 25:27
  it
• 25:28
  up
• 25:28
  and
• 25:28
  I'm
• 25:28
  like,
• 25:28
  well,
• 25:28
  you
• 25:28
  got
• 25:28
  a
• 25:29
  lot
• 25:29
  of
• 25:29
  dirt
• 25:29
  in
• 25:29
  the
• 25:29
  bottom
• 25:29
  of
• 25:30
  this.
• 25:30
  So
• 25:30
  I
• 25:30
  went
• 25:30
  around
• 25:31
  and
• 25:31
  peeled
• 25:31
  stuff
• 25:32
  back,
• 25:33
  put
• 25:33
  my
• 25:33
  inspection
• 25:33
  cam
• 25:34
  under
• 25:34
  the
• 25:34
  foundation
• 25:35
  wall
• 25:35
  and
• 25:35
  they
• 25:35
  had
• 25:35
  a
• 25:36
  12
• 25:36
  by
• 25:36
  24
• 25:37
  inch
• 25:37
  void
• 25:38
  under
• 25:38
  the
• 25:39
  entire
• 25:40
  foundation
• 25:40
  wall.
• 25:41
  This
• 25:41
  1920s
• 25:41
  home.
• 25:42
  Wow.
• 25:43
  Water
• 25:43
  had
• 25:43
  been
• 25:43
  coming
• 25:43
  in
• 25:44
  underneath
• 25:44
  that
• 25:45
  and
• 25:45
  just
• 25:46
  washing
• 25:46
  it
• 25:46
  out.
• 25:47
  Yeah,
• 25:47
  washing
• 25:48
  it
• 25:48
  out.
• 25:48
  So
• 25:49
  the
• 25:49
  only
• 25:49
  thing
• 25:50
  holding
• 25:50
  up
• 25:51
  this
• 25:51
  was
• 25:52
  the
• 25:52
  tension
• 25:52
  from
• 25:52
  the
• 25:53
  dirt
• 25:53
  outside
• 25:54
  and
• 25:54
  the
• 25:54
  slab
• 25:55
  that
• 25:55
  was
• 25:55
  holding
• 25:56
  things,
• 25:56
  were
• 25:56
  they
• 25:56
  there?
• 25:57
  And
• 25:57
  I
• 25:57
  just
• 25:57
  went,
• 25:57
  man,
• 25:58
  you
• 25:58
  got
• 25:58
  a
• 25:58
  huge
• 25:59
  problem
• 25:59
  here
• 26:00
  and
• 26:00
  you
• 26:00
  need
• 26:00
  to
• 26:00
  go
• 26:00
  talk
• 26:01
  to
• 26:01
  an
• 26:01
  engineer
• 26:02
  and
• 26:02
  an
• 26:02
  attorney
• 26:02
  at
• 26:02
  the
• 26:03
  same
• 26:03
  time.
• 26:03
  Yep,
• 26:04
  exactly
• 26:04
  right.
• 26:05
  Because
• 26:05
  you
• 26:05
  got
• 26:06
  a
• 26:06
  big
• 26:06
  problem.
• 26:06
  Because.
• 26:06
  What
• 26:06
  do
• 26:06
  you
• 26:06
  mean?
• 26:07
  I
• 26:07
  go
• 26:07
  look
• 26:07
  at
• 26:07
  my
• 26:07
  camera
• 26:07
  right
• 26:08
  here
• 26:08
  and
• 26:08
  that
• 26:08
  inspection
• 26:08
  camera
• 26:09
  told
• 26:09
  so
• 26:09
  many
• 26:09
  things.
• 26:10
  I'm
• 26:10
  like,
• 26:10
  there
• 26:10
  is.
• 26:11
  Your
• 26:11
  house
• 26:11
  is
• 26:12
  floating
• 26:12
  on
• 26:12
  air
• 26:12
  right
• 26:13
  now
• 26:13
  and
• 26:13
  if
• 26:13
  we
• 26:14
  have
• 26:14
  a
• 26:14
  small
• 26:14
  earthquake,
• 26:16
  those
• 26:16
  posts
• 26:16
  are
• 26:16
  on
• 26:16
  the
• 26:17
  slab.
• 26:17
  So
• 26:17
  it's
• 26:17
  going
• 26:17
  to
• 26:17
  push
• 26:18
  up
• 26:18
  that
• 26:18
  foot.
• 26:18
  So
• 26:19
  you're
• 26:19
  going
• 26:19
  to
• 26:19
  have
• 26:19
  a
• 26:19
  serious
• 26:20
  problem.
• 26:20
  And
• 26:20
  I
• 26:20
  didn't,
• 26:20
  don't
• 26:21
  know
• 26:21
  what
• 26:21
  happened
• 26:21
  after
• 26:21
  that,
• 26:21
  but
• 26:22
  I
• 26:22
  felt
• 26:22
  bad
• 26:22
  because
• 26:23
  that
• 26:23
  was
• 26:23
  probably
• 26:24
  house
• 26:24
  that
• 26:24
  needed
• 26:24
  a
• 26:25
  new
• 26:25
  foundation.
• 26:26
  Yeah.
• 26:26
  And
• 26:26
  That's
• 26:26
  a
• 26:27
  total
• 26:27
  rebuild.
• 26:27
  You
• 26:28
  know,
• 26:28
  that's
• 26:28
  not
• 26:28
  a
• 26:28
  cheap
• 26:29
  fix.
• 26:29
  You
• 26:29
  know,
• 26:30
  I've
• 26:30
  done
• 26:30
  in
• 26:30
  the
• 26:31
  past
• 26:31
  on
• 26:31
  those
• 26:31
  situations.
• 26:32
  I
• 26:32
  don't
• 26:32
  know
• 26:32
  if
• 26:32
  you've
• 26:32
  ever
• 26:32
  done
• 26:33
  this
• 26:33
  before.
• 26:33
  We
• 26:34
  did
• 26:34
  new
• 26:34
  interior
• 26:35
  foundations.
• 26:35
  Have
• 26:36
  you
• 26:36
  ever
• 26:36
  seen
• 26:36
  that
• 26:36
  done?
• 26:37
  Yeah,
• 26:37
  I
• 26:37
  haven't
• 26:37
  done
• 26:38
  too
• 26:38
  much
• 26:38
  of
• 26:38
  that.
• 26:38
  One
• 26:39
  of
• 26:39
  the
• 26:39
  things
• 26:39
  that
• 26:39
  we
• 26:39
  did
• 26:39
  is
• 26:40
  we
• 26:40
  used
• 26:40
  a
• 26:40
  modified
• 26:41
  push
• 26:41
  pier
• 26:42
  and
• 26:42
  drove
• 26:43
  it
• 26:43
  down
• 26:44
  on
• 26:44
  the
• 26:44
  interior
• 26:45
  in
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  crawl
• 26:45
  space.
• 26:46
  And
• 26:46
  that
• 26:46
  worked
• 26:46
  pretty
• 26:46
  dang
• 26:47
  good.
• 26:47
  Yeah,
• 26:48
  nice.
• 26:48
  We've
• 26:49
  done
• 26:49
  those
• 26:49
  in
• 26:49
  the
• 26:49
  past
• 26:50
  where
• 26:50
  it's
• 26:50
  a.
• 26:51
  Maybe
• 26:51
  a
• 26:51
  historical
• 26:52
  building
• 26:52
  and
• 26:52
  it's
• 26:53
  brick
• 26:53
  on
• 26:53
  the
• 26:53
  outside
• 26:54
  and
• 26:54
  it's
• 26:54
  all
• 26:54
  coming
• 26:55
  apart.
• 26:55
  And
• 26:56
  you
• 26:56
  still
• 26:56
  try
• 26:56
  to
• 26:56
  head
• 26:57
  instead
• 26:57
  of
• 26:57
  them
• 26:58
  coming
• 26:58
  in
• 26:58
  and
• 26:58
  lifting
• 26:59
  the
• 26:59
  house
• 26:59
  up
• 26:59
  and
• 26:59
  doing
• 26:59
  the
• 27:00
  brick,
• 27:00
  because
• 27:00
  it
• 27:00
  was
• 27:00
  historical,
• 27:01
  doing
• 27:02
  it
• 27:02
  on
• 27:02
  the
• 27:02
  inside
• 27:02
  to
• 27:02
  do
• 27:03
  it.
• 27:03
  But
• 27:03
  the
• 27:03
  problem
• 27:03
  is
• 27:03
  one,
• 27:03
  you
• 27:04
  got
• 27:04
  to
• 27:04
  gut
• 27:04
  the
• 27:04
  house
• 27:04
  down
• 27:05
  there,
• 27:05
  take
• 27:05
  all
• 27:05
  the
• 27:06
  H
• 27:06
  vac
• 27:06
  or
• 27:06
  whatever's
• 27:07
  in
• 27:07
  the
• 27:07
  basement,
• 27:07
  and
• 27:08
  it's
• 27:08
  a
• 27:08
  quite
• 27:08
  the
• 27:08
  big
• 27:08
  project.
• 27:09
  But
• 27:09
  better
• 27:10
  than
• 27:10
  jacking
• 27:10
  the
• 27:10
  house
• 27:10
  up
• 27:10
  and
• 27:11
  moving
• 27:11
  everybody
• 27:11
  out
• 27:11
  of
• 27:11
  the
• 27:11
  house,
• 27:12
  right?
• 27:12
  Yeah,
• 27:13
  that's
• 27:13
  right.
• 27:14
  What
• 27:14
  do
• 27:14
  you
• 27:14
  think
• 27:14
  of
• 27:14
  carbon
• 27:15
  fiber
• 27:15
  as
• 27:16
  a
• 27:16
  repair
• 27:16
  tool
• 27:16
  out
• 27:16
  there
• 27:17
  for
• 27:17
  cracks?
• 27:17
  Have
• 27:17
  you
• 27:18
  used
• 27:18
  that
• 27:18
  a
• 27:18
  lot?
• 27:19
  Sure,
• 27:19
  yeah.
• 27:20
  Carbon
• 27:20
  fiber
• 27:20
  is
• 27:20
  a
• 27:20
  great
• 27:21
  tool.
• 27:21
  You
• 27:21
  just
• 27:21
  got
• 27:22
  to
• 27:22
  know
• 27:22
  when
• 27:22
  to
• 27:22
  use
• 27:22
  it.
• 27:22
  Right.
• 27:23
  Sometimes
• 27:23
  people
• 27:23
  think
• 27:24
  it's
• 27:24
  great
• 27:24
  for
• 27:24
  everything,
• 27:24
  and
• 27:25
  it's
• 27:25
  not.
• 27:26
  It's
• 27:26
  a
• 27:26
  very
• 27:26
  Strong
• 27:27
  product.
• 27:27
  It's
• 27:27
  10
• 27:28
  times
• 27:28
  stronger
• 27:28
  than
• 27:28
  steel
• 27:29
  for
• 27:29
  the
• 27:29
  weight,
• 27:30
  and
• 27:30
  it
• 27:31
  works
• 27:31
  great.
• 27:31
  I
• 27:31
  have
• 27:31
  a
• 27:32
  3D
• 27:32
  printer
• 27:32
  that
• 27:32
  prints
• 27:33
  3D
• 27:33
  carbon
• 27:34
  fiber
• 27:35
  pieces,
• 27:35
  and
• 27:35
  that's
• 27:36
  for
• 27:36
  another
• 27:36
  system
• 27:36
  that
• 27:36
  I'm
• 27:37
  working
• 27:37
  on.
• 27:37
  But
• 27:38
  yeah,
• 27:39
  it's
• 27:39
  great.
• 27:39
  I
• 27:39
  used
• 27:40
  it
• 27:40
  in
• 27:40
  slabs
• 27:41
  a
• 27:41
  lot.
• 27:41
  So
• 27:41
  I
• 27:41
  would
• 27:41
  use
• 27:42
  a
• 27:42
  laminate,
• 27:42
  which
• 27:43
  is
• 27:43
  like
• 27:43
  a
• 27:43
  16th
• 27:43
  of
• 27:44
  an
• 27:44
  inch
• 27:44
  by
• 27:45
  18
• 27:45
  inches
• 27:46
  long
• 27:46
  by
• 27:46
  2
• 27:46
  inches
• 27:47
  tall.
• 27:48
  And
• 27:48
  it's
• 27:48
  extruded,
• 27:49
  so
• 27:49
  it's
• 27:50
  more
• 27:50
  carbon
• 27:50
  fiber
• 27:51
  than
• 27:51
  epoxy,
• 27:51
  which,
• 27:52
  strangely
• 27:52
  enough,
• 27:52
  makes
• 27:52
  it
• 27:53
  stronger.
• 27:53
  Because
• 27:53
  the
• 27:54
  carbon
• 27:54
  fiber
• 27:54
  is
• 27:54
  stronger
• 27:55
  than
• 27:55
  the
• 27:55
  epoxy.
• 27:56
  Exactly.
• 27:56
  So
• 27:56
  when
• 27:56
  you
• 27:57
  extrude
• 27:57
  it,
• 27:58
  you
• 27:58
  get
• 27:58
  about
• 27:58
  seven
• 27:59
  times
• 27:59
  the
• 27:59
  strength
• 27:59
  of
• 28:00
  regular
• 28:00
  carbon
• 28:00
  fiber.
• 28:01
  And
• 28:01
  what
• 28:02
  you
• 28:02
  do
• 28:02
  is
• 28:02
  if
• 28:02
  you
• 28:03
  have
• 28:03
  a
• 28:03
  crack
• 28:03
  that
• 28:03
  snakes
• 28:04
  across
• 28:04
  the
• 28:04
  floor,
• 28:05
  you
• 28:05
  saw
• 28:06
  cut
• 28:06
  these
• 28:07
  channels
• 28:07
  in
• 28:07
  and
• 28:08
  you
• 28:08
  just
• 28:08
  slip
• 28:08
  them
• 28:08
  in.
• 28:09
  The
• 28:09
  old
• 28:09
  way
• 28:10
  is
• 28:10
  to
• 28:10
  cut
• 28:10
  it
• 28:11
  a
• 28:11
  1
• 28:11
  inch,
• 28:12
  chisel
• 28:12
  it
• 28:12
  out,
• 28:13
  throw
• 28:13
  a
• 28:13
  rebar
• 28:14
  in
• 28:14
  there,
• 28:14
  and
• 28:14
  epoxy
• 28:14
  it
• 28:15
  in.
• 28:15
  Yeah,
• 28:16
  that's
• 28:16
  really
• 28:16
  a
• 28:17
  really
• 28:18
  difficult
• 28:18
  and
• 28:18
  odd.
• 28:19
  We
• 28:19
  would
• 28:19
  just
• 28:20
  saw,
• 28:20
  cut
• 28:20
  it,
• 28:21
  slide
• 28:21
  these
• 28:22
  in,
• 28:22
  and
• 28:22
  we
• 28:23
  would
• 28:23
  use
• 28:23
  a
• 28:23
  polyurea
• 28:24
  instead
• 28:24
  of
• 28:24
  an
• 28:24
  epoxy.
• 28:25
  And
• 28:25
  a
• 28:25
  polyurea
• 28:26
  sets
• 28:26
  up
• 28:26
  very
• 28:26
  quickly.
• 28:27
  And
• 28:28
  it's
• 28:28
  so
• 28:29
  thin,
• 28:29
  it's
• 28:29
  like
• 28:30
  thinner
• 28:30
  than
• 28:30
  water
• 28:31
  almost.
• 28:31
  It's
• 28:31
  about
• 28:31
  the
• 28:32
  same,
• 28:32
  I
• 28:32
  think,
• 28:32
  20
• 28:33
  center
• 28:33
  poise.
• 28:34
  And
• 28:34
  it
• 28:34
  soaks
• 28:35
  into
• 28:35
  the
• 28:35
  concrete
• 28:36
  around
• 28:36
  it
• 28:37
  when
• 28:37
  it
• 28:37
  goes
• 28:37
  into
• 28:37
  to
• 28:38
  the
• 28:38
  channels
• 28:39
  and
• 28:40
  creates
• 28:40
  a
• 28:41
  bond
• 28:42
  that
• 28:43
  is
• 28:43
  super,
• 28:43
  super
• 28:44
  strong.
• 28:45
  And
• 28:46
  epoxy
• 28:46
  is
• 28:47
  stronger
• 28:47
  than
• 28:47
  polyureas,
• 28:48
  but
• 28:49
  it
• 28:49
  doesn't
• 28:50
  go
• 28:50
  into
• 28:50
  the
• 28:50
  pores.
• 28:51
  And
• 28:51
  so
• 28:52
  you
• 28:52
  have
• 28:52
  a
• 28:52
  failure
• 28:52
  of
• 28:53
  adhesion.
• 28:54
  Yeah.
• 28:54
  You
• 28:55
  can
• 28:55
  grab
• 28:55
  10
• 28:56
  times
• 28:56
  the
• 28:56
  concrete.
• 28:57
  Right,
• 28:58
  right.
• 28:58
  And
• 28:59
  the
• 28:59
  key
• 28:59
  is
• 28:59
  to
• 28:59
  put
• 29:00
  these
• 29:00
  in,
• 29:00
  not
• 29:00
  parallel,
• 29:01
  but
• 29:01
  skew
• 29:02
  them,
• 29:02
  and
• 29:02
  that
• 29:03
  way
• 29:03
  they
• 29:03
  can't
• 29:03
  slide.
• 29:05
  And
• 29:05
  I'm
• 29:05
  gonna
• 29:05
  tell
• 29:06
  you,
• 29:06
  that's
• 29:06
  a
• 29:06
  great
• 29:06
  system.
• 29:07
  It's
• 29:07
  worked
• 29:07
  great.
• 29:07
  I
• 29:08
  had
• 29:08
  very
• 29:08
  few
• 29:09
  problems
• 29:09
  with
• 29:09
  those
• 29:10
  over
• 29:10
  35
• 29:10
  years.
• 29:11
  All
• 29:11
  you're
• 29:12
  doing
• 29:12
  is
• 29:12
  basically
• 29:13
  stitching
• 29:13
  it
• 29:13
  back
• 29:14
  together.
• 29:14
  Right.
• 29:15
  That
• 29:15
  is
• 29:15
  brilliant.
• 29:16
  That
• 29:16
  is
• 29:16
  brilliant.
• 29:16
  I've
• 29:17
  used
• 29:17
  a
• 29:18
  couple
• 29:18
  times,
• 29:18
  I've
• 29:18
  used
• 29:18
  the
• 29:19
  little
• 29:19
  barbell,
• 29:20
  you
• 29:20
  know,
• 29:20
  the
• 29:21
  staples,
• 29:22
  that
• 29:22
  stuff
• 29:22
  before.
• 29:23
  And
• 29:23
  those
• 29:24
  worked.
• 29:24
  Okay,
• 29:24
  but
• 29:24
  your
• 29:25
  system
• 29:25
  is
• 29:25
  way
• 29:25
  better
• 29:26
  than
• 29:26
  that.
• 29:26
  Yeah,
• 29:27
  I
• 29:27
  know
• 29:27
  what
• 29:27
  your
• 29:27
  system
• 29:27
  you're
• 29:28
  referring
• 29:28
  to.
• 29:28
  They
• 29:28
  copied
• 29:29
  my
• 29:29
  system.
• 29:30
  Did
• 29:30
  they?
• 29:30
  Okay,
• 29:31
  that's
• 29:31
  probably
• 29:32
  where
• 29:32
  they
• 29:32
  got
• 29:33
  it.
• 29:33
  I
• 29:33
  get
• 29:33
  it.
• 29:33
  Yeah,
• 29:34
  those
• 29:34
  crazy
• 29:35
  Canadians.
• 29:36
  But
• 29:36
  I've
• 29:36
  used
• 29:37
  it
• 29:37
  a
• 29:37
  few
• 29:37
  times,
• 29:37
  and
• 29:38
  there's
• 29:38
  a
• 29:38
  product
• 29:38
  that
• 29:38
  I've
• 29:39
  been
• 29:39
  using.
• 29:39
  I
• 29:39
  did
• 29:40
  it
• 29:40
  on
• 29:40
  one
• 29:40
  project.
• 29:40
  It
• 29:41
  was
• 29:41
  probably
• 29:41
  the
• 29:41
  hardest
• 29:42
  material
• 29:42
  I've
• 29:42
  ever
• 29:43
  worked
• 29:43
  with.
• 29:43
  And
• 29:43
  Simpson
• 29:44
  strong
• 29:44
  tie
• 29:44
  had
• 29:45
  came
• 29:45
  out
• 29:45
  with
• 29:45
  it.
• 29:45
  And
• 29:46
  I
• 29:46
  don't
• 29:46
  know
• 29:46
  if
• 29:46
  you've
• 29:46
  seen
• 29:47
  this
• 29:47
  before
• 29:47
  out
• 29:48
  there.
• 29:48
  It
• 29:48
  is
• 29:48
  a.
• 29:49
  If
• 29:49
  you've
• 29:49
  got
• 29:50
  a.
• 29:50
  Like
• 29:50
  a
• 29:50
  brick
• 29:51
  building
• 29:51
  and
• 29:51
  you
• 29:51
  want
• 29:51
  to
• 29:52
  make
• 29:52
  it
• 29:52
  where.
• 29:52
  Or
• 29:52
  a
• 29:53
  brick
• 29:53
  foundation.
• 29:53
  You
• 29:53
  want
• 29:54
  to
• 29:54
  make
• 29:54
  it
• 29:54
  so
• 29:54
  it's
• 29:54
  going
• 29:55
  to
• 29:55
  hold
• 29:55
  up
• 29:55
  to
• 29:55
  an
• 29:55
  earthquake.
• 29:57
  There's
• 29:57
  that
• 29:57
  carbon
• 29:58
  fiber
• 29:58
  spray
• 29:59
  that
• 29:59
  they
• 29:59
  spray
• 30:00
  on
• 30:00
  with.
• 30:01
  It's
• 30:01
  got
• 30:01
  carbon
• 30:02
  fiber
• 30:02
  concrete.
• 30:03
  And
• 30:03
  then
• 30:04
  they
• 30:04
  put
• 30:04
  a
• 30:04
  carbon
• 30:04
  fiber
• 30:05
  mesh
• 30:05
  on
• 30:05
  it.
• 30:06
  Oh,
• 30:06
  yeah.
• 30:06
  And
• 30:07
  so
• 30:07
  then
• 30:07
  they
• 30:08
  plaster
• 30:08
  it
• 30:08
  to
• 30:08
  the
• 30:08
  wall.
• 30:09
  There's
• 30:12
  a
• 30:12
  good
• 30:12
  case
• 30:12
  for
• 30:13
  that
• 30:13
  because
• 30:13
  what
• 30:13
  it
• 30:13
  does
• 30:14
  is
• 30:14
  it
• 30:14
  puts
• 30:15
  everything
• 30:15
  in
• 30:15
  confinement
• 30:16
  and
• 30:17
  hold
• 30:17
  and
• 30:18
  keeps
• 30:18
  it
• 30:18
  all
• 30:18
  together.
• 30:19
  So
• 30:19
  I
• 30:19
  would
• 30:20
  say
• 30:20
  that
• 30:20
  if
• 30:20
  it's
• 30:21
  done
• 30:21
  right,
• 30:21
  that's
• 30:22
  probably
• 30:22
  a
• 30:22
  good
• 30:22
  system.
• 30:23
  But
• 30:23
  really,
• 30:24
  to
• 30:24
  be
• 30:24
  done
• 30:24
  right,
• 30:25
  you
• 30:25
  need
• 30:25
  to
• 30:25
  do
• 30:25
  it
• 30:25
  on
• 30:25
  both
• 30:25
  sides,
• 30:26
  which
• 30:26
  is
• 30:26
  probably
• 30:26
  hard
• 30:27
  to
• 30:27
  do.
• 30:27
  Yeah.
• 30:28
  And
• 30:28
  I
• 30:28
  tell
• 30:28
  you
• 30:28
  what,
• 30:28
  there
• 30:29
  is
• 30:29
  not
• 30:29
  a
• 30:29
  harder
• 30:30
  material
• 30:30
  I've
• 30:31
  ever
• 30:31
  worked
• 30:31
  with
• 30:31
  than
• 30:32
  that.
• 30:32
  Yeah,
• 30:33
  I
• 30:33
  can
• 30:33
  believe
• 30:33
  that.
• 30:34
  Get
• 30:34
  the
• 30:34
  mix
• 30:35
  incorrectly.
• 30:36
  And
• 30:36
  that
• 30:37
  carbon
• 30:37
  fiber
• 30:37
  being
• 30:38
  so
• 30:38
  fibrous,
• 30:39
  it
• 30:39
  loves
• 30:39
  to
• 30:39
  plug
• 30:40
  everything
• 30:40
  up.
• 30:40
  Yep.
• 30:41
  We
• 30:41
  sat
• 30:42
  outside
• 30:42
  for
• 30:42
  about
• 30:42
  eight
• 30:43
  hours
• 30:43
  one
• 30:43
  day
• 30:43
  with
• 30:43
  the
• 30:44
  right
• 30:44
  sprayer
• 30:44
  and
• 30:44
  everything
• 30:45
  else,
• 30:45
  and
• 30:45
  I'm
• 30:45
  like,
• 30:45
  this
• 30:46
  is
• 30:46
  the
• 30:46
  most
• 30:46
  frustrating
• 30:47
  product
• 30:47
  I've
• 30:48
  ever
• 30:48
  worked
• 30:48
  with.
• 30:48
  And
• 30:49
  I'm
• 30:49
  sure
• 30:49
  they've
• 30:49
  got
• 30:49
  it
• 30:49
  better
• 30:50
  now
• 30:50
  as
• 30:50
  when
• 30:50
  it
• 30:50
  was
• 30:50
  first
• 30:51
  coming
• 30:51
  on
• 30:51
  the
• 30:51
  market.
• 30:51
  So
• 30:51
  this
• 30:52
  was
• 30:52
  a
• 30:52
  number
• 30:52
  of
• 30:52
  years
• 30:52
  ago,
• 30:53
  but
• 30:54
  anytime
• 30:54
  that
• 30:54
  we
• 30:54
  can
• 30:55
  come
• 30:55
  up
• 30:55
  with
• 30:55
  a
• 30:55
  product
• 30:55
  that's
• 30:56
  going
• 30:56
  to
• 30:56
  help
• 30:56
  people
• 30:56
  in
• 30:56
  earthquake
• 30:57
  or
• 30:57
  hurricane
• 30:57
  areas
• 30:58
  like
• 30:58
  that
• 30:58
  to
• 30:58
  be
• 30:58
  able
• 30:58
  to
• 30:59
  hold
• 30:59
  up
• 30:59
  to
• 31:00
  older
• 31:00
  brick
• 31:00
  buildings,
• 31:01
  I
• 31:01
  think
• 31:01
  it's
• 31:01
  great.
• 31:02
  I
• 31:02
  think,
• 31:02
  speaking
• 31:03
  of
• 31:03
  that,
• 31:03
  quite
• 31:04
  often
• 31:04
  have
• 31:05
  you
• 31:05
  been
• 31:05
  to
• 31:06
  a.
• 31:06
  Like
• 31:06
  a
• 31:06
  stem
• 31:07
  wall,
• 31:07
  you
• 31:07
  see
• 31:07
  a
• 31:07
  horizontal
• 31:08
  crack
• 31:08
  right
• 31:08
  above
• 31:09
  the
• 31:09
  dirt.
• 31:09
  Okay.
• 31:11
  And
• 31:11
  that
• 31:11
  is
• 31:12
  the
• 31:12
  rebar
• 31:12
  rusting.
• 31:13
  It's
• 31:13
  called
• 31:13
  rust
• 31:13
  jacking.
• 31:14
  And
• 31:15
  so
• 31:15
  what
• 31:15
  you
• 31:15
  really
• 31:15
  need
• 31:16
  to
• 31:16
  do
• 31:16
  is
• 31:16
  take
• 31:17
  that
• 31:17
  rebar
• 31:17
  out
• 31:17
  and
• 31:18
  put
• 31:18
  a
• 31:18
  composite
• 31:18
  rebar
• 31:19
  in
• 31:19
  its
• 31:19
  place,
• 31:19
  which
• 31:20
  is
• 31:20
  easy
• 31:20
  to
• 31:20
  do.
• 31:20
  Anybody
• 31:21
  can
• 31:21
  do
• 31:21
  it,
• 31:21
  Right?
• 31:22
  Yeah.
• 31:22
  But
• 31:22
  now
• 31:22
  what
• 31:23
  do
• 31:23
  you
• 31:23
  do
• 31:24
  when
• 31:24
  you
• 31:24
  get
• 31:24
  to
• 31:24
  the
• 31:24
  hold
• 31:25
  down
• 31:25
  straps?
• 31:25
  Right.
• 31:26
  Because
• 31:26
  those
• 31:27
  are
• 31:27
  made
• 31:27
  of
• 31:27
  galvanized.
• 31:28
  They're
• 31:28
  steel
• 31:28
  with
• 31:28
  a
• 31:29
  little
• 31:29
  galvanized
• 31:29
  coating
• 31:30
  on
• 31:30
  them.
• 31:30
  And
• 31:30
  that
• 31:31
  galvanized
• 31:31
  coating
• 31:31
  is
• 31:32
  gone
• 31:32
  after
• 31:32
  two
• 31:33
  years.
• 31:34
  And.
• 31:34
  And
• 31:34
  now
• 31:35
  those
• 31:35
  straps
• 31:35
  are
• 31:35
  super
• 31:36
  thin.
• 31:37
  I've
• 31:37
  never
• 31:37
  seen
• 31:37
  any
• 31:38
  of
• 31:38
  them
• 31:38
  last
• 31:38
  more
• 31:38
  than
• 31:38
  a
• 31:38
  couple
• 31:39
  of
• 31:39
  years.
• 31:40
  And
• 31:40
  how
• 31:41
  do
• 31:41
  you
• 31:41
  replace
• 31:41
  them?
• 31:41
  Well,
• 31:42
  that
• 31:42
  means
• 31:42
  if
• 31:42
  it's
• 31:42
  a
• 31:43
  frame
• 31:43
  stucco
• 31:43
  house,
• 31:44
  you
• 31:44
  got
• 31:45
  to
• 31:45
  go
• 31:45
  up
• 31:46
  the
• 31:46
  stucco,
• 31:46
  peel
• 31:47
  back
• 31:47
  the
• 31:47
  lath
• 31:48
  and
• 31:48
  the
• 31:48
  wire,
• 31:49
  remove
• 31:49
  the
• 31:49
  old
• 31:50
  strap,
• 31:50
  put
• 31:50
  a
• 31:50
  new
• 31:50
  strap
• 31:51
  in,
• 31:51
  put
• 31:51
  the
• 31:51
  wire
• 31:51
  and
• 31:52
  paper
• 31:52
  back,
• 31:52
  stucco
• 31:53
  it
• 31:53
  to
• 31:53
  match.
• 31:54
  Hard
• 31:54
  to
• 31:54
  do.
• 31:55
  Paint
• 31:55
  it
• 31:55
  to
• 31:56
  match.
• 31:56
  Hard
• 31:56
  to
• 31:56
  do.
• 31:57
  And
• 31:57
  then
• 31:58
  put
• 31:58
  all
• 31:58
  that
• 31:58
  back
• 31:59
  in
• 31:59
  and
• 31:59
  hope
• 31:59
  that
• 32:00
  it
• 32:00
  lasts
• 32:00
  another
• 32:00
  three
• 32:01
  years,
• 32:01
  which
• 32:01
  is
• 32:01
  crazy.
• 32:02
  What
• 32:03
  I
• 32:03
  did
• 32:03
  is
• 32:03
  I
• 32:04
  developed
• 32:04
  the
• 32:04
  carbon
• 32:04
  fiber
• 32:05
  product
• 32:05
  called
• 32:05
  the
• 32:06
  Never
• 32:06
  Rust
• 32:07
  that
• 32:07
  goes
• 32:08
  from
• 32:08
  the
• 32:08
  underside.
• 32:09
  It
• 32:09
  has
• 32:09
  screws
• 32:10
  that
• 32:10
  go
• 32:10
  up
• 32:11
  through
• 32:11
  the
• 32:11
  base
• 32:11
  plate
• 32:12
  and
• 32:12
  into
• 32:12
  the
• 32:12
  studs
• 32:13
  on
• 32:13
  an
• 32:13
  angle.
• 32:13
  They
• 32:14
  cross
• 32:14
  each
• 32:14
  other
• 32:15
  and
• 32:15
  then
• 32:16
  it
• 32:16
  hangs
• 32:16
  down
• 32:17
  inside
• 32:17
  the
• 32:17
  concrete.
• 32:18
  And
• 32:18
  the
• 32:19
  fiberglass
• 32:19
  rebar
• 32:20
  that
• 32:20
  runs
• 32:20
  through
• 32:21
  it
• 32:21
  has
• 32:21
  holes
• 32:22
  that
• 32:22
  runs
• 32:22
  through
• 32:22
  it.
• 32:23
  So
• 32:23
  now
• 32:23
  the
• 32:23
  rebar,
• 32:23
  the
• 32:24
  fiberglass
• 32:24
  rebar
• 32:25
  is
• 32:25
  part
• 32:25
  of
• 32:25
  the
• 32:25
  hold
• 32:25
  down
• 32:25
  system.
• 32:26
  And
• 32:27
  really
• 32:27
  slick,
• 32:27
  really
• 32:28
  sharp.
• 32:28
  And
• 32:29
  I'm
• 32:29
  hoping
• 32:29
  that
• 32:30
  as
• 32:30
  people
• 32:31
  start
• 32:31
  to
• 32:31
  realize
• 32:31
  that
• 32:32
  this
• 32:32
  is
• 32:32
  a
• 32:32
  problem
• 32:33
  that
• 32:33
  they'll
• 32:33
  figure
• 32:33
  out
• 32:34
  this
• 32:34
  is
• 32:34
  a.
• 33:05
  Good
• 33:06
  solution
• 33:06
  for
• 32:35
  it,
• 33:07
  especially
• 33:07
  in
• 33:08
  coastal
• 33:08
  areas
• 33:08
  where
• 33:08
  it's
• 33:09
  not
• 33:09
  even
• 33:09
  going
• 33:09
  to
• 33:09
  last
• 33:09
  that
• 33:10
  long.
• 33:10
  Right.
• 33:10
  Get
• 33:10
  that
• 33:11
  salt
• 33:11
  water
• 33:11
  out
• 33:11
  there.
• 33:11
  Yep.
• 33:12
  That
• 33:13
  galvanized
• 33:13
  doesn't
• 33:14
  have.
• 33:14
  There's
• 33:14
  a
• 33:14
  reason
• 33:14
  why
• 33:15
  roofing
• 33:15
  companies
• 33:15
  say
• 33:16
  in
• 33:16
  coastal
• 33:16
  areas
• 33:16
  to
• 33:17
  use
• 33:17
  stainless
• 33:17
  steel
• 33:18
  nails
• 33:18
  because
• 33:19
  of
• 33:19
  one.
• 33:20
  And
• 33:20
  then
• 33:20
  you
• 33:20
  want
• 33:20
  to
• 33:20
  use
• 33:20
  something
• 33:21
  structural
• 33:22
  that
• 33:22
  is
• 33:22
  brilliant
• 33:23
  and
• 33:23
  it
• 33:23
  doesn't
• 33:23
  care
• 33:23
  if
• 33:23
  it's
• 33:24
  salt
• 33:24
  water
• 33:24
  or
• 33:24
  not.
• 33:25
  Right?
• 33:25
  Yeah.
• 33:26
  That
• 33:26
  makes
• 33:26
  no
• 33:26
  difference,
• 33:27
  right,
• 33:28
  Bob,
• 33:28
  you've.
• 33:28
  Got
• 33:29
  your
• 33:29
  hands
• 33:29
  in
• 33:29
  about
• 33:30
  everything
• 33:30
  with
• 33:30
  foundations.
• 33:31
  I
• 33:31
  love
• 33:31
  it,
• 33:32
  man.
• 33:32
  I
• 33:33
  love
• 33:33
  it.
• 33:34
  One
• 33:34
  of
• 33:34
  the
• 33:34
  things
• 33:34
  That
• 33:34
  I
• 33:35
  think
• 33:36
  is
• 33:36
  problematic.
• 33:37
  And
• 33:38
  I'm
• 33:38
  going
• 33:38
  to
• 33:38
  set
• 33:39
  this
• 33:39
  up
• 33:40
  with
• 33:40
  real
• 33:40
  estate
• 33:41
  professionals,
• 33:41
  our
• 33:42
  real
• 33:42
  estate
• 33:42
  professionals
• 33:43
  out
• 33:43
  there.
• 33:44
  Yep.
• 33:44
  I
• 33:44
  have
• 33:45
  a
• 33:45
  picture
• 33:45
  that
• 33:45
  I
• 33:46
  wiped
• 33:46
  the
• 33:46
  real
• 33:47
  estate
• 33:47
  agent's
• 33:47
  name
• 33:48
  off.
• 33:48
  There
• 33:49
  was
• 33:49
  a
• 33:49
  crack
• 33:49
  in
• 33:49
  this
• 33:49
  old
• 33:50
  house
• 33:50
  foundation
• 33:51
  that
• 33:51
  someone
• 33:51
  had
• 33:52
  nicely
• 33:52
  painted
• 33:52
  up
• 33:53
  to
• 33:53
  look
• 33:53
  really
• 33:53
  pretty,
• 33:54
  that
• 33:54
  I
• 33:54
  could
• 33:54
  put
• 33:54
  my
• 33:55
  fingers
• 33:55
  in
• 33:55
  the
• 33:55
  hole
• 33:56
  all
• 33:56
  the
• 33:56
  way
• 33:56
  down.
• 33:57
  And
• 33:57
  they
• 33:57
  had
• 33:57
  printed
• 33:57
  up
• 33:57
  a
• 33:58
  nice
• 33:58
  little
• 33:58
  sign
• 33:58
  that
• 33:59
  says,
• 33:59
  this
• 33:59
  crack
• 33:59
  has
• 33:59
  been
• 34:00
  here
• 34:00
  for
• 34:00
  the
• 34:00
  entire
• 34:00
  lifetime
• 34:01
  of
• 34:01
  the
• 34:01
  house,
• 34:01
  has
• 34:01
  caused
• 34:02
  no
• 34:02
  problems.
• 34:02
  And
• 34:03
  I'm
• 34:03
  like,
• 34:04
  yeah,
• 34:04
  really?
• 34:05
  I,
• 34:06
  you
• 34:06
  know,
• 34:06
  I
• 34:06
  do
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  training
• 34:07
  for
• 34:07
  home
• 34:08
  inspectors,
• 34:08
  for
• 34:08
  realtors,
• 34:09
  for
• 34:09
  their
• 34:09
  license
• 34:10
  renewals.
• 34:11
  And
• 34:11
  the
• 34:12
  first
• 34:12
  thing
• 34:12
  I
• 34:12
  tell
• 34:12
  realtors
• 34:13
  is,
• 34:13
  never
• 34:13
  opine
• 34:14
  about
• 34:14
  any
• 34:14
  crack.
• 34:15
  Never
• 34:15
  try
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  characterize
• 34:16
  it.
• 34:17
  Never
• 34:17
  try
• 34:17
  to
• 34:17
  say
• 34:18
  it's
• 34:18
  normal.
• 34:18
  Never.
• 34:19
  Don't
• 34:19
  talk
• 34:19
  about
• 34:19
  that.
• 34:19
  I
• 34:20
  had
• 34:20
  one
• 34:20
  realtor
• 34:20
  say,
• 34:21
  well,
• 34:21
  if
• 34:21
  a
• 34:21
  crack
• 34:22
  is
• 34:22
  horizontal,
• 34:23
  it's
• 34:23
  bad.
• 34:23
  If
• 34:23
  it's
• 34:24
  stairstep,
• 34:24
  it's
• 34:24
  normal.
• 34:25
  I'm
• 34:25
  like,
• 34:25
  don't
• 34:25
  be
• 34:25
  doing
• 34:26
  that.
• 34:26
  That's
• 34:26
  putting
• 34:27
  your
• 34:27
  livelihood
• 34:28
  at
• 34:28
  risk.
• 34:28
  Don't
• 34:28
  opine
• 34:29
  about
• 34:29
  that.
• 34:30
  The
• 34:30
  best
• 34:30
  thing,
• 34:31
  the
• 34:31
  best
• 34:31
  advice
• 34:31
  I
• 34:31
  give
• 34:32
  to
• 34:32
  realtors
• 34:32
  is,
• 34:33
  hey,
• 34:33
  look,
• 34:33
  if
• 34:34
  you're
• 34:34
  starting
• 34:34
  to
• 34:34
  list
• 34:35
  a
• 34:35
  house
• 34:35
  and
• 34:35
  you
• 34:35
  walk
• 34:36
  around
• 34:36
  in
• 34:36
  cracks,
• 34:37
  doors
• 34:37
  that
• 34:38
  are
• 34:38
  pinched,
• 34:38
  fat
• 34:39
  on
• 34:39
  one
• 34:39
  side,
• 34:39
  pinched
• 34:40
  on
• 34:40
  the
• 34:40
  other,
• 34:40
  sloping
• 34:41
  floors,
• 34:41
  windows
• 34:42
  that
• 34:42
  maybe
• 34:42
  might
• 34:43
  be
• 34:43
  pinched.
• 34:43
  If
• 34:43
  you
• 34:43
  see
• 34:44
  this
• 34:44
  in
• 34:44
  a
• 34:44
  pattern,
• 34:44
  in
• 34:45
  a
• 34:45
  grouping,
• 34:45
  don't
• 34:46
  try
• 34:46
  to
• 34:47
  sneak
• 34:47
  through
• 34:48
  the
• 34:48
  escrow,
• 34:49
  because
• 34:49
  what's
• 34:50
  going
• 34:50
  to
• 34:50
  happen
• 34:50
  is
• 34:51
  you're
• 34:51
  going
• 34:51
  to
• 34:51
  get
• 34:51
  an
• 34:51
  inspector
• 34:52
  that
• 34:52
  calls
• 34:52
  it
• 34:52
  out,
• 34:53
  and
• 34:53
  guess
• 34:53
  what?
• 34:54
  Then
• 34:54
  they're
• 34:54
  going
• 34:54
  to
• 34:54
  call
• 34:54
  a
• 34:55
  foundation
• 34:55
  repair
• 34:55
  company.
• 34:56
  Because
• 34:56
  that's
• 34:56
  when
• 34:56
  you
• 34:57
  Google
• 34:57
  it,
• 34:57
  that's
• 34:57
  who
• 34:57
  comes
• 34:57
  up.
• 34:58
  Right.
• 34:58
  In
• 34:59
  a
• 34:59
  hurry,
• 34:59
  60
• 35:00
  come
• 35:00
  out,
• 35:01
  and
• 35:01
  they're
• 35:01
  going
• 35:01
  to
• 35:01
  say,
• 35:01
  yeah,
• 35:02
  you
• 35:02
  need
• 35:02
  $60,000
• 35:03
  in
• 35:03
  peers.
• 35:04
  And
• 35:04
  then
• 35:04
  the
• 35:05
  whole
• 35:05
  escrow
• 35:05
  blows
• 35:05
  apart.
• 35:06
  Everybody
• 35:06
  goes
• 35:06
  their
• 35:06
  separate
• 35:07
  ways.
• 35:07
  And
• 35:07
  guess
• 35:07
  what?
• 35:08
  The
• 35:08
  listing
• 35:08
  agent
• 35:09
  gets
• 35:09
  fired.
• 35:09
  And
• 35:09
  I'll
• 35:10
  tell
• 35:10
  you
• 35:10
  why
• 35:10
  they
• 35:10
  get
• 35:10
  fired.
• 35:11
  Because
• 35:11
  the
• 35:12
  homeowner
• 35:12
  cannot
• 35:13
  ask
• 35:13
  the
• 35:13
  listing
• 35:13
  agent
• 35:14
  to
• 35:14
  lie
• 35:14
  about
• 35:14
  it.
• 35:14
  So
• 35:15
  they
• 35:15
  fire
• 35:15
  the
• 35:15
  listing
• 35:16
  agent.
• 35:16
  They
• 35:16
  go
• 35:17
  in
• 35:17
  and
• 35:17
  patch
• 35:17
  everything
• 35:17
  up
• 35:18
  the
• 35:18
  best
• 35:18
  they
• 35:18
  can.
• 35:18
  They
• 35:19
  hire
• 35:19
  a
• 35:19
  new
• 35:19
  listing
• 35:19
  agent.
• 35:20
  That's
• 35:21
  not
• 35:21
  the
• 35:21
  right
• 35:21
  way
• 35:21
  to
• 35:21
  do
• 35:21
  it.
• 35:22
  The
• 35:22
  best
• 35:22
  way
• 35:22
  is
• 35:23
  for
• 35:23
  the
• 35:23
  listing
• 35:23
  agent.
• 35:23
  You
• 35:24
  see
• 35:24
  these
• 35:24
  problems.
• 35:25
  Get
• 35:25
  to
• 35:25
  know
• 35:26
  some
• 35:26
  good
• 35:27
  forensic
• 35:28
  engineers
• 35:28
  in
• 35:28
  your
• 35:29
  area.
• 35:30
  And
• 35:30
  if
• 35:30
  you
• 35:30
  go
• 35:30
  to
• 35:30
  my
• 35:31
  website,
• 35:31
  Foundation
• 35:31
  Repair
• 35:32
  Secrets,
• 35:32
  there's
• 35:32
  a
• 35:32
  directory
• 35:33
  of
• 35:34
  engineers
• 35:34
  for
• 35:34
  every
• 35:35
  state.
• 35:35
  Go
• 35:36
  into
• 35:36
  that
• 35:36
  directory
• 35:37
  and
• 35:37
  find
• 35:37
  some
• 35:37
  good
• 35:37
  engineers.
• 35:38
  Get
• 35:38
  to
• 35:38
  know
• 35:38
  them,
• 35:39
  take
• 35:39
  them
• 35:39
  to
• 35:39
  lunch,
• 35:39
  get
• 35:39
  their
• 35:40
  opinion.
• 35:40
  And
• 35:41
  then
• 35:41
  when
• 35:41
  the
• 35:41
  time
• 35:41
  is
• 35:41
  right,
• 35:42
  you
• 35:42
  can
• 35:42
  call
• 35:43
  on
• 35:43
  them
• 35:43
  to
• 35:43
  come
• 35:43
  out
• 35:43
  and
• 35:44
  take
• 35:44
  a
• 35:44
  look.
• 35:44
  At
• 35:44
  this.
• 35:45
  And
• 35:45
  they'll
• 35:45
  do
• 35:45
  one
• 35:46
  of
• 35:46
  two
• 35:46
  things.
• 35:46
  They'll
• 35:46
  say,
• 35:47
  it's
• 35:47
  probably
• 35:47
  fine,
• 35:48
  and
• 35:48
  here's
• 35:48
  a
• 35:48
  seal.
• 35:49
  Or
• 35:49
  they
• 35:50
  may
• 35:50
  say,
• 35:50
  oh,
• 35:51
  yeah,
• 35:51
  we
• 35:51
  might
• 35:52
  need
• 35:52
  to
• 35:52
  fix
• 35:52
  it.
• 35:52
  Oh,
• 35:52
  and
• 35:52
  here's
• 35:53
  a
• 35:53
  plan.
• 35:54
  Now
• 35:54
  you
• 35:54
  can
• 35:54
  get
• 35:54
  it
• 35:54
  fixed,
• 35:55
  and
• 35:55
  he'll
• 35:55
  supervise
• 35:56
  it,
• 35:56
  make
• 35:56
  sure
• 35:56
  it's
• 35:56
  done,
• 35:56
  put
• 35:57
  a
• 35:57
  seal
• 35:57
  on
• 35:57
  the
• 35:57
  end.
• 35:58
  And
• 35:58
  now
• 35:58
  when
• 35:59
  the
• 35:59
  inspector
• 35:59
  brings
• 36:00
  these
• 36:00
  problems
• 36:00
  up,
• 36:00
  you
• 36:01
  have
• 36:01
  a
• 36:01
  seal
• 36:01
  either
• 36:01
  way
• 36:02
  that
• 36:02
  says
• 36:02
  it's
• 36:03
  groovy
• 36:04
  and
• 36:04
  all.
• 36:04
  Those
• 36:04
  fears
• 36:05
  are
• 36:05
  alleviated.
• 36:07
  It
• 36:07
  always
• 36:07
  seems
• 36:08
  it's
• 36:08
  that
• 36:08
  inspection
• 36:09
  process,
• 36:09
  right,
• 36:10
  that
• 36:10
  this
• 36:10
  stuff
• 36:10
  comes
• 36:10
  up.
• 36:11
  And
• 36:11
  there's
• 36:11
  this.
• 36:12
  When
• 36:12
  I
• 36:12
  was
• 36:12
  working
• 36:13
  for
• 36:13
  that
• 36:13
  foundation
• 36:13
  company,
• 36:14
  we
• 36:14
  had
• 36:14
  two
• 36:14
  people
• 36:14
  that
• 36:15
  were
• 36:15
  in
• 36:15
  sales
• 36:15
  that
• 36:15
  just
• 36:16
  dealt
• 36:16
  with
• 36:16
  realtors.
• 36:18
  It
• 36:18
  was
• 36:18
  just.
• 36:19
  You
• 36:19
  didn't
• 36:20
  know
• 36:20
  where
• 36:20
  you're
• 36:20
  going
• 36:20
  tomorrow,
• 36:21
  but
• 36:21
  it
• 36:21
  was
• 36:21
  like
• 36:22
  you
• 36:22
  were
• 36:22
  filling
• 36:23
  in,
• 36:23
  just
• 36:23
  going,
• 36:24
  yeah.
• 36:24
  And
• 36:24
  usually
• 36:25
  what
• 36:25
  happens
• 36:25
  is
• 36:26
  foundation
• 36:26
  repair
• 36:27
  companies
• 36:27
  have
• 36:27
  figured
• 36:27
  out
• 36:28
  that
• 36:28
  very
• 36:28
  few
• 36:28
  of
• 36:29
  those
• 36:29
  turn
• 36:29
  into
• 36:29
  sales.
• 36:29
  So
• 36:30
  what
• 36:30
  they
• 36:30
  do
• 36:30
  is
• 36:30
  they
• 36:30
  charge
• 36:31
  for
• 36:31
  those
• 36:31
  appointments,
• 36:32
  which
• 36:32
  is
• 36:32
  crazy
• 36:33
  because
• 36:33
  now
• 36:33
  they're
• 36:34
  really
• 36:34
  violating
• 36:34
  engineering
• 36:35
  laws.
• 36:35
  They're
• 36:35
  providing
• 36:36
  engineering
• 36:36
  advice
• 36:36
  for
• 36:37
  a
• 36:37
  price.
• 36:38
  And
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  know
• 36:39
  what?
• 36:39
  They're
• 36:39
  gonna
• 36:40
  go
• 36:40
  out
• 36:40
  there
• 36:40
  and
• 36:40
  they're
• 36:40
  gonna
• 36:41
  give
• 36:41
  you
• 36:42
  a
• 36:42
  little
• 36:42
  report
• 36:43
  with
• 36:43
  pictures
• 36:44
  and
• 36:44
  an
• 36:45
  estimate
• 36:45
  and
• 36:45
  a
• 36:45
  plan,
• 36:46
  maybe
• 36:47
  even
• 36:47
  a
• 36:47
  floor
• 36:47
  level,
• 36:47
  if
• 36:48
  you're
• 36:48
  lucky,
• 36:49
  floor
• 36:49
  level
• 36:49
  survey.
• 36:50
  But
• 36:50
  no,
• 36:51
  nothing
• 36:51
  written.
• 36:52
  No
• 36:52
  opinions
• 36:53
  written,
• 36:53
  because
• 36:54
  that
• 36:54
  would
• 36:54
  just
• 36:54
  be
• 36:55
  too
• 36:55
  scary
• 36:56
  for
• 36:56
  them
• 36:56
  to
• 36:56
  do,
• 36:56
  right?
• 36:57
  Dr.
• 36:58
  Doing,
• 36:58
  you
• 36:58
  know,
• 36:59
  doing
• 36:59
  brain
• 36:59
  surgery
• 37:00
  in
• 37:00
  a
• 37:00
  storage
• 37:00
  unit.
• 37:01
  Yeah,
• 37:01
  right.
• 37:02
  Yeah,
• 37:03
  exactly.
• 37:04
  Shouldn't
• 37:04
  be
• 37:04
  happening.
• 37:05
  Shouldn't
• 37:05
  be
• 37:05
  happening.
• 37:06
  And
• 37:06
  that's
• 37:07
  the
• 37:07
  bad
• 37:07
  part
• 37:07
  with.
• 37:07
  And
• 37:08
  I
• 37:08
  wanted
• 37:08
  to
• 37:08
  talk
• 37:08
  about
• 37:09
  this,
• 37:09
  too,
• 37:09
  and
• 37:09
  it's
• 37:09
  something
• 37:09
  that's
• 37:10
  going
• 37:10
  around
• 37:10
  out
• 37:10
  there
• 37:11
  with
• 37:11
  these
• 37:11
  foundation
• 37:12
  repair
• 37:12
  companies.
• 37:13
  Many
• 37:14
  times
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  ones
• 37:15
  with
• 37:15
  the
• 37:15
  biggest
• 37:15
  advertising
• 37:16
  budget
• 37:17
  that
• 37:17
  show
• 37:18
  up
• 37:18
  on
• 37:18
  the
• 37:18
  Google
• 37:18
  searches
• 37:19
  with
• 37:19
  all
• 37:19
  the
• 37:19
  paid
• 37:20
  ads
• 37:20
  are
• 37:20
  showing
• 37:20
  up
• 37:20
  on
• 37:20
  your.
• 37:21
  Maybe
• 37:22
  they're
• 37:22
  not
• 37:22
  the
• 37:23
  ones
• 37:23
  you're
• 37:23
  supposed
• 37:23
  to
• 37:24
  call.
• 37:24
  Well,
• 37:25
  that's
• 37:25
  exactly
• 37:25
  right.
• 37:26
  Think
• 37:26
  about
• 37:26
  it.
• 37:26
  There's
• 37:27
  been
• 37:27
  a
• 37:27
  big
• 37:27
  thing
• 37:28
  going
• 37:28
  on
• 37:28
  in
• 37:28
  the
• 37:28
  industry
• 37:29
  where
• 37:29
  private
• 37:29
  equity
• 37:30
  companies,
• 37:30
  or
• 37:31
  even
• 37:31
  just
• 37:31
  large
• 37:32
  companies,
• 37:32
  have
• 37:32
  been
• 37:33
  going
• 37:33
  around
• 37:33
  and
• 37:33
  buying
• 37:34
  up
• 37:34
  small
• 37:35
  mom
• 37:35
  and
• 37:35
  pops.
• 37:36
  Well,
• 37:37
  guess
• 37:37
  what?
• 37:38
  You
• 37:39
  got
• 37:39
  a
• 37:39
  problem
• 37:39
  with
• 37:39
  the
• 37:39
  mom
• 37:40
  and
• 37:40
  pop.
• 37:41
  They're
• 37:41
  probably
• 37:41
  going
• 37:41
  to
• 37:41
  listen
• 37:42
  to
• 37:42
  you.
• 37:43
  I
• 37:43
  owned
• 37:43
  a
• 37:43
  company
• 37:43
  for
• 37:44
  35
• 37:44
  years.
• 37:44
  I
• 37:44
  sold
• 37:45
  two
• 37:45
  years
• 37:45
  ago,
• 37:46
  and
• 37:46
  I
• 37:46
  see
• 37:46
  the
• 37:47
  way
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  company
• 37:47
  behaves
• 37:48
  now
• 37:48
  versus
• 37:49
  when
• 37:49
  it
• 37:49
  was
• 37:49
  my
• 37:49
  company.
• 37:50
  Big
• 37:50
  difference.
• 37:51
  You're
• 37:51
  a
• 37:52
  big
• 37:52
  company
• 37:52
  and
• 37:53
  you're
• 37:53
  millions
• 37:54
  or
• 37:54
  billions
• 37:54
  of
• 37:55
  dollars
• 37:55
  in
• 37:55
  sales
• 37:55
  all
• 37:56
  over
• 37:56
  America.
• 37:57
  You're
• 37:58
  not
• 37:58
  going
• 37:58
  to
• 37:59
  really
• 37:59
  care
• 37:59
  that
• 37:59
  much
• 38:00
  about
• 38:00
  some
• 38:00
  dinky
• 38:01
  little
• 38:01
  homeowner
• 38:01
  that's
• 38:02
  not
• 38:02
  happy
• 38:02
  it's
• 38:03
  just
• 38:03
  not
• 38:03
  going
• 38:03
  to
• 38:03
  happen.
• 38:04
  Yeah.
• 38:05
  Where
• 38:05
  you're
• 38:05
  losing
• 38:06
  a
• 38:06
  $30,000
• 38:07
  deal
• 38:07
  due
• 38:07
  to
• 38:08
  a
• 38:08
  complaint,
• 38:09
  something
• 38:09
  like
• 38:10
  that.
• 38:10
  You
• 38:11
  have
• 38:11
  Mr.
• 38:11
  And
• 38:11
  Mrs.
• 38:12
  Homeowner
• 38:13
  upset
• 38:14
  and
• 38:14
  that
• 38:14
  business
• 38:15
  owner
• 38:15
  is
• 38:16
  all
• 38:16
  over
• 38:16
  it
• 38:17
  because
• 38:17
  that
• 38:18
  one
• 38:18
  Google
• 38:19
  review
• 38:20
  could
• 38:20
  kill
• 38:20
  them.
• 38:21
  And
• 38:21
  think
• 38:21
  about
• 38:21
  it.
• 38:21
  Let's
• 38:22
  just
• 38:22
  suppose
• 38:22
  that
• 38:23
  you
• 38:23
  decide
• 38:23
  to
• 38:23
  sue
• 38:24
  the
• 38:24
  company,
• 38:24
  okay?
• 38:25
  Now
• 38:25
  if
• 38:25
  you're
• 38:26
  suing
• 38:26
  a
• 38:26
  mall
• 38:26
  and
• 38:26
  pop,
• 38:27
  they're
• 38:27
  going
• 38:27
  to
• 38:27
  take
• 38:27
  it
• 38:28
  seriously.
• 38:28
  You're
• 38:28
  suing
• 38:28
  a
• 38:29
  billion
• 38:29
  dollar
• 38:29
  company.
• 38:30
  They
• 38:30
  don't
• 38:30
  care.
• 38:31
  They're
• 38:32
  going
• 38:32
  to
• 38:32
  drag
• 38:32
  it
• 38:32
  out
• 38:33
  for
• 38:33
  four
• 38:33
  years
• 38:33
  and
• 38:34
  make
• 38:34
  and
• 38:35
  grind
• 38:35
  you
• 38:35
  down
• 38:35
  with
• 38:36
  $300,000
• 38:37
  in
• 38:38
  expert
• 38:38
  testimony.
• 38:40
  They
• 38:40
  don't
• 38:40
  care.
• 38:41
  No.
• 38:41
  And
• 38:41
  they
• 38:41
  got
• 38:41
  their
• 38:42
  own
• 38:42
  legal
• 38:42
  team
• 38:42
  that's
• 38:43
  on
• 38:43
  staff.
• 38:43
  Oh,
• 38:44
  yeah.
• 38:44
  They're
• 38:44
  going
• 38:44
  to
• 38:44
  spend
• 38:45
  your
• 38:45
  money.
• 38:46
  Oh,
• 38:46
  yeah.
• 38:46
  You
• 38:47
  know,
• 38:47
  absolutely
• 38:48
  insane
• 38:49
  how
• 38:49
  bad
• 38:49
  that
• 38:50
  goes.
• 38:50
  It's
• 38:51
  just
• 38:51
  crazy.
• 38:51
  And
• 38:52
  so
• 38:52
  that's
• 38:52
  one
• 38:52
  of
• 38:52
  the
• 38:52
  things
• 38:53
  that's
• 38:53
  a
• 38:53
  little
• 38:53
  disheartening
• 38:54
  about.
• 38:54
  That
• 38:54
  out
• 38:54
  there
• 38:55
  is
• 38:55
  much
• 38:56
  more
• 38:56
  about
• 38:56
  the
• 38:56
  mom
• 38:57
  and
• 38:57
  pops
• 38:58
  than
• 38:58
  some
• 38:58
  of
• 38:58
  these
• 38:58
  bigger
• 38:59
  companies.
• 38:59
  So
• 38:59
  just
• 39:00
  because
• 39:00
  they
• 39:00
  show
• 39:00
  up
• 39:00
  at
• 39:00
  the
• 39:01
  top
• 39:01
  of
• 39:01
  your
• 39:01
  Google
• 39:01
  search
• 39:02
  doesn't
• 39:02
  always
• 39:03
  mean
• 39:03
  they're
• 39:03
  the
• 39:03
  right
• 39:03
  company.
• 39:04
  Yep,
• 39:04
  I
• 39:04
  would
• 39:04
  agree
• 39:05
  with
• 39:05
  that
• 39:05
  100%.
• 39:07
  What
• 39:07
  other
• 39:07
  advice
• 39:08
  can
• 39:08
  you
• 39:08
  give
• 39:08
  to
• 39:09

  least
• 39:13
  maintaining
• 39:15
  that
• 39:15
  foundation
• 39:16
  when
• 39:16
  they're
• 39:17
  a
• 39:17
  homeowner,
• 39:17
  walking
• 39:17
  around
• 39:18
  and
• 39:18
  keeping
• 39:18
  an
• 39:18
  eye
• 39:18
  on
• 39:19
  things?
• 39:19
  Well,
• 39:20

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

  time,
• 45:01
  but
• 45:01
  I

  want

  pros

  be
• 45:18
  able
• 45:18
  to

  this

  correctly.

  Right.

  That's

  my

  goal,

  to

  try

  to

• 45:24
  And

  if
• 45:25
  engineers,

  contractors

  and

  I'm

  I'm,

  I'm

  retired,

  basically.

  Almost

  Yeah,

  you're

  retired,

  you're

  these
• 45:53
  cool

  things

  and

  writing

  books,
• 45:54
  right?
• 45:55
  Exactly.
• 45:57
  Not
• 45:57
  sure
• 45:57
  if
• 45:57
  that's
• 45:58
  retirement
• 45:58
  or
• 45:58
  not.
• 45:59
  I
• 45:59
  never
• 45:59
  sit
• 45:59
  still.
• 46:00
  That's
• 46:00
  the

  problem.

  That's
