Residential construction is a race to the bottom. Contractors are just focused on getting to the next job, to keep the accounts receivables coming, covering the last screw up or lowball bid. Oftentimes, for anything that doesn't require a permit, you're better off just hiring a tradesman or two that's willing to do side work.

Guys, you weren't carpenters, or else you could tell that those nails came out of another block that had been nailed in the wrong spot, and then banged out (removed) with a hammer. That's exactly what the nails look like after you do that. The only thing wrong is that someone used 3 nails on each side of the block. 2 is enough so that it doesn't twist. Too many, and you start cracking the weak pine we use now. There's no need to remove those nails - if they didn't puncture wire to begin with, they won't puncture it just sitting there behind the sheet rock. This influencer who made the short shouldn't pretend to know what he's doing.

@valeriandamoclesmarcellus87564 ай бұрын
@@valeriandamoclesmarcellus8756The sadest part about this is its the sparkies fault. I agree with the first comment something likely got changed. That being said how do we know the sparky is responsible for this? For starters subtrades are known to be "lazy". They make more money when the work gets done quicker because they get paid by the job. This leads to them cutting corners especially when they come back pissed off to redo something that was already completed. Those nails are sticking out of the studs because its quicker and easier for the sparky to flip the blocking up and run wires instead of drilling holes to fish wire through. How do i know all of this? Over a decade of experience in the construction industry. How can i prove thats what happened? In the video notice the blocking 2' up from the floor is oriented to match the width of the studs? This is the correct orientation and it remains that way because it does not interfere with any wiring as you can see. Among many other things the blocking prevents the studs from twisting and also provides support for the edges of drywall sheets. That repositioned blocking no longer prevents the studs from twisting and only provides support for drywall on one side of the wall if it even catches the 4' mark anymore. From sparkies perspective thats the next guys problem. In the rest of the building you can see all the blocking is oriented to match the width of the studs. The blocking that the sparky flipped sideways was held in place by the nails that are now sticking out puncturing the wire he just ran. How do we know those nails held that blocking they're "coincidentally" right beneath? Well none of those nails serve a purpose. You can see they're not holding anything. All they're doing is sticking through the studs. These "purposeless" nails have a counterpart on the next stud over that happen to be at the same height nailed towards their direction almost as if they were once holding something in place. As for the second clip with the nails sticking through the drywall? Sparky gets a pass on that. Those are likely temporary to hold something and that wire was already there.

no, thats just regular, grade A west coast framing lumber. All the good stuff gets shipped to japan and china out of the port of seattle, because places like japan dont have enough lumber trees, but they actually have some building standards. This mentality is why construction costs so much, and is always over budget, because it starts at the bottom, and the shit just works its way outwards, overtime hours for all the finish trades. Drywallers will be making wonky cuts to fit the wonky walls, the windows wont fit, and will need reframed, everything will be out of square and need shimming, trimming, and patching, and everything will need to be redone, or fixed at least twice. Thats the north american construction industry.

@@chillchinna4164Right above those nails sits the blocking they once held before the sparky had to come back and flip them up for room to run his wires quick and easy instead of taking the time to fish wire through holes he should've drilled through that blocking instead of reorienting it. The nails in the studs happen to be at the same height as the opposing nails in the next stud over because reorientation of that blocking left them exposed. That punctured wire is all on the sparky. After exposing those nails its quicker to just bend them down and run your wire over than it is to pull them or take the time to work around them. The other nails lay flat because sparky bent them all down and when sparky was likely rushing to get this work done he snagged that one nail in the process which caused it to puncture the wire. Since sparky was in a rush he probably didnt notice this happened or noticed and chose to not give any F's.

Residential construction is a race to the bottom. Contractors are just focused on getting to the next job, to keep the accounts receivables coming, covering the last screw up or lowball bid. Oftentimes, for anything that doesn't require a permit, you're better off just hiring a tradesman or two that's willing to do side work.

Guys, you weren't carpenters, or else you could tell that those nails came out of another block that had been nailed in the wrong spot, and then banged out (removed) with a hammer. That's exactly what the nails look like after you do that. The only thing wrong is that someone used 3 nails on each side of the block. 2 is enough so that it doesn't twist. Too many, and you start cracking the weak pine we use now. There's no need to remove those nails - if they didn't puncture wire to begin with, they won't puncture it just sitting there behind the sheet rock. This influencer who made the short shouldn't pretend to know what he's doing.

Also, content creators need content. There is zero reason for a framing nail to be going through the plaster board as shown at 0:20 mark... At all. Never going to happen, framers are long gone by the time plastering is happening.
It's more than that. It's showing us a major framing mistake that can cause fires. This is valuable to anyone buying a house. I wonder if these kinds of things can be detected by an inspector, using some sort of scanner that can see into the walls.
I was wiring a house whilenthe framers were there replacing the oxboard with actual sheathing and that was the most terrifying game of frogger ive played. They kept missing studs and sending nails right thru the sheathing. Eventually I heard a decompression sound, they hit a hose bib and shower assembly. Some romex was hit. We put nail plates on the inside but that means nothing when theyre nailing the outside. A perfect reason to wait to have the trades start until the frame is done done.

After many years of Electrical work and seeing so much BS get passed that I was sure wouldn't get passed. Yes, don't just trust your normal county inspector to catch much of anything.
The sad part is that the city inspector has many inspections scheduled for the day and it's about metrics. Can they complete the inspections as scheduled? if not, it reflects on their performance. Independent inspectors don't have that many inspections and can thoroughly go through the building.
I’m fortunate enough to learn this happens on a regular basis and none of these contractors can be trusted. I’m never buying a used house.

Had to give you the thumbs up for the GoldenEye pause music 🫡
This is what happens when "professionals" work on your stuff. If you are having work done or getting a house built, be involved. Go to the site and look around. There was a builder near us that had a contract clause stating you could not go on site or you could forfeit your deposit and lose the house. If you see something like that, strike it or walk. There's a reason they don't want you seeing what's going on.
People can get hurt on sites pretty easy on all types of situations from just falling down. People having a house built might feel the privilege of going around their house while unsafe. Who will be at fault if a future homeowner gets injured on a job site. Who knows what any contractor might have going on
@@BettorTogether agree and that's a legal question. May be solvable with a waiver. But as an owner, you MUST be involved, you must educate yourself somewhat, and you have to keep an eye on these people. Otherwise you will get screwed and you probably won't realize it until years later.

wires are usually ran after the structure is framed. pick your runs risely sparkys
Missed a big opportunity to say “ we get close to wire , then we start a fire 🔥 “ 😅
I also see that some of the romex was stapled on edge instead of flat. That’s also a code violation.
Honestly, they wouldn’t call that out. I know what you’re saying, but realistically, he just has to *fix the staple* so the wire is “flush”, But a twist in the wire like that (while I think looks like dog shit lol) is *not* against code.
They would call out the staples not being close enough to the gang box if anything before the sideways wire lol
@@Wizard__J The places I have worked, the inspector would definitely call you out for not stapling the romex flat, and if the cable is able to twist under the staple then the staple is not snug enough. But the inspector would have never seen the nails or the romex in this condition because the general contractors around here always walk the job before an inspection and the people who do work like this would have been cussed out and kicked off the job site immediately and someone else would have fixed it before inspection.
Sideways wire are a code violation? Give us the article please.

sparky here, a combination fault breaker would trip from that. i wouldn't expect that to start any fires but it would definitely be expensive for me to track that down and repair it if they didn't energize the circuit before the drywall went on
They should try using longer nails and get them to come out the other side of the stud. This way they can just hang the drywall on the protruding nails. Saves on using screws. This will also help the homeowner with hanging pictures frames. 😎😎😂

@@valeriandamoclesmarcellus8756The sadest part about this is its the sparkies fault. I agree with the first comment something likely got changed. That being said how do we know the sparky is responsible for this? For starters subtrades are known to be "lazy". They make more money when the work gets done quicker because they get paid by the job. This leads to them cutting corners especially when they come back pissed off to redo something that was already completed. Those nails are sticking out of the studs because its quicker and easier for the sparky to flip the blocking up and run wires instead of drilling holes to fish wire through. How do i know all of this? Over a decade of experience in the construction industry. How can i prove thats what happened? In the video notice the blocking 2' up from the floor is oriented to match the width of the studs? This is the correct orientation and it remains that way because it does not interfere with any wiring as you can see. Among many other things the blocking prevents the studs from twisting and also provides support for the edges of drywall sheets. That repositioned blocking no longer prevents the studs from twisting and only provides support for drywall on one side of the wall if it even catches the 4' mark anymore. From sparkies perspective thats the next guys problem. In the rest of the building you can see all the blocking is oriented to match the width of the studs. The blocking that the sparky flipped sideways was held in place by the nails that are now sticking out puncturing the wire he just ran. How do we know those nails held that blocking they're "coincidentally" right beneath? Well none of those nails serve a purpose. You can see they're not holding anything. All they're doing is sticking through the studs. These "purposeless" nails have a counterpart on the next stud over that happen to be at the same height nailed towards their direction almost as if they were once holding something in place. As for the second clip with the nails sticking through the drywall? Sparky gets a pass on that. Those are likely temporary to hold something and that wire was already there.
Good to see James Jones still being productive
TRUE. LIFE. SAVER.
This is unbelievable and scary the work/products coming from these contractors. Do the contractors have project manager that walk the site a look for things like this before inspection? 🤦♂️
Nope. They love sitting in their trucks. I'm a subtrade and in the period of a week, the superintendent may show up for 5 min, just to verify there are warm bodies on site. A PM? Hardly ever. No QC with production builders.
You ever wonder how those crews full of Mexicans with no training or experience in quality building throw a house up in a month? That’s how
If the house they built burns or collapses you bet your ass somebody is gunna pay!
@@opictia Yeah, the owner... for these schmucks to build a new one.
@fishy2939Site super? Never seen one.
For every nail that doesn’t hit a stud the framer should take 5 cents off the end bill. 😂
Guys uses to get run off and blackballed for shiners or coat hangers! 😂
Sparky-Sparky Fire 🔥 Don’t let the nails hit the wire!
I read it like Billy Joel wrote it. "We didn't start the fire!" 🤣🤣🤣
As the electrician on site, I'm usually stuck fixing the occasional nail like this. or I'm extra paranoid of running my cables alongside potential nail hit areas that I know will take 3" nails or screws
Good to see they're reusing dirty old forming lumber for the walls. Conserve!
Go Planet!
old lumber is actually, usually pretty good. old doesn't always mean bad. it's denser older tree growth.
@thatDUDEfromMAINE 100%. My house just turned 100 this year. We had a huge tree fall on it. It just damaged the roof a bit and slid down the house. Told my wife if it was a modern home that tree would have went through both stories and maybe even to the ground.
@@DC-ml6cvNot a CVT shell, no fucking way. I've seen whole ass trucks get deadpanned on some of those houses going fast enough to fly through a wooden home.
no, thats just regular, grade A west coast framing lumber. All the good stuff gets shipped to japan and china out of the port of seattle, because places like japan dont have enough lumber trees, but they actually have some building standards. This mentality is why construction costs so much, and is always over budget, because it starts at the bottom, and the shit just works its way outwards, overtime hours for all the finish trades. Drywallers will be making wonky cuts to fit the wonky walls, the windows wont fit, and will need reframed, everything will be out of square and need shimming, trimming, and patching, and everything will need to be redone, or fixed at least twice. Thats the north american construction industry.
That goldeneye pause screen is fire
Subscribed to learn what bad jobs are when I start remodeling the house I buy . Thanks for the good guy keep showing us the don't and out of code thing too
I was taught to always bend the nail into the wood when working on rough carpentry. And we always had to take them off the drywall when they went through
Had some contractors work on the underbelly of our mobile home… one guy nailed an electrical wire and probably knew about it… but never told us. Yep they were certainly 5 stars
Im a framer and when you hear a guy shoot a whole nailgun clip in 10 seconds you better get them drywall guys in quick
Hide your potential destructive and deadly work by shoddy work. You need to take your craftsmanship to a next level. Quickly hiding issues with drywall only shows you are not an honest caring true homebuilder. Sad.
@@tracyclark4162 Exactly. Scary that's their natural response to mistakes.
Good inspector. Nice work.
Good looks!! Definitely remembering this
Let me just build this house around the electrical frame we start with
Thanks for posting this negligent construction company's practices
"Sparky sparky fire," words to live by.
Great instructional video sir! Please create more.
You know THAT AIN'T RIGHT 👍 😢 🔥🚒 NEW HOUSE 🏡 ON FIRE. HELLO INSURANCE COMPANY.
What LOUSY “workmanship”!!! 🤦🏼♀️ Keep calling them out on it, sir!! 🙌🏼👏🏼
Nick the wire, sparky sparky fire 🔥🔥🔥
The goldeneye music is just chefs kiss 🤙🏻
I have actually been called about getting a shock off the drywall screw, couldn't believe it until I saw it
If the wires would of been installed properly acording to the NEC, This would of never been an issue. Unless the drywallers were using 2+ inch drywall screws!
That's true, 60 or so years ago when they built that, the code book was a little thinner. I'm talking about the call that I got. But you're right. Should've had nail plates or drilled in the middle of stud
@@donwaltman4276 I live in such a house. Never got a shock from a drywall screw, but while recently I replaced a light fixture in my office, I discovered that the neutral line from half the lights in the entire house were running from the tap on this one fixture(two screws on a single conductor, like an outlet) instead of a Marrete and a pigtail. Maybe that was permitted back then, but it sure as hell ain't now. This house was also built by the then-owners. One could be surprised by the kind of shit people got away with back then.
@@BlackEpyonPeople probably get away with all kinds of questionable shit as long as it doesn't immediately catch fire and burn the place to the ground...
Not even just for electrical wire but for pex lines in plumbing too, had gotten then plumbing done as a house being built to come back to it later cause the construction guys and thin nails pierce the lines and flood the room
That Beat Is Fire 😂
Thank you for the information.
Chicago IL solved this by making us run wire through conduit
Exactly, in most suburbs too.
@@keithk1559 I think it's a good thing too like if you want to change or add anything
When i eventually buy a house, can i hire you to come inspect it???
Uncle Fester went wild with the nail gun.
I love the use of the James Bond background music.
You're right that is not right and that could kill somebody..... Love your work keep them guys on their toes..... JJ....😊
I bet the wires were put in after the nails, some electricians dgaf
Great video!
You might have saved lives while casually doing your work. Awesome video
Some things people pull just have me thinkin like “you had to of been drinking or high on the job”
Yes
@fishy2939 as a tradesman I have to tel you thats false. Most the guys I know don’t allow drinking on the job or smoking drugs. I did it myself for a time but it’s no way to work, you do it after work. Those guys are often times single or have wife’s that don’t know or care they go drink after. That’s far more common than what you speak of atleast in my area. It’s not profession and usually you can tell what kind of people you are working with during an estimate.
What should one do now a days with that new horizontal siding they are installing now with nails everywhere but the stud
I have so much respect for you, Sir. it’s men like you who take pride in their work that make this country great
I always cut those shiners out before I install, good looking out bro.
One of the reasons I don't use a nail gun for my own work. Yeah, they're faster (in unskilled hands, you should see what an old-time framer could do - FASTER than a nail gun, and perfectly placed so nail is centered - never a stick out).
Probably the electricians fault there.
I’m confused doesn’t the framing go first ? Why did they do those nails after the electricians came and did there thing ? Or Is that the Sheetrock guys ?
Snagged the Romex on the nail as they were pulling it.
Ok so Ive worked concrete 3 years. Landscaping 2 years, farm work 7 years, handyman 2 years, wood framing 1.5 years, Ironworking 1.5 years, Insulation 6 months. And I've been woodworking in my shop almost 3 years now. Ive done residential new and remod, commercial, industrial, and agricultural jobs. And I can confidential say... Absolutely correct you are sir. Lack of professionalism is a rising epidemic in the trades and I LOVE that you bring awareness to this... God bless, Godspeed, and thank you my Friend. Good Hunting, ~/\/\/~

Wow Did any nails hit the stud at all?
I would be absolutely pissed if I had to rerun my wire because somebody came in shitfaced like this. It’s get done, but I wouldn’t be happy.

@@supercooldude824 yes, usually. There’s no way those wires would look like that without somebody nailing some shit after though. Even the rookiest of apprentices would know to go around the nails, ya know? It would be more of a pain to run the wires like that than to just go around.
@@chillchinna4164Right above those nails sits the blocking they once held before the sparky had to come back and flip them up for room to run his wires quick and easy instead of taking the time to fish wire through holes he should've drilled through that blocking instead of reorienting it. The nails in the studs happen to be at the same height as the opposing nails in the next stud over because reorientation of that blocking left them exposed. That punctured wire is all on the sparky. After exposing those nails its quicker to just bend them down and run your wire over than it is to pull them or take the time to work around them. The other nails lay flat because sparky bent them all down and when sparky was likely rushing to get this work done he snagged that one nail in the process which caused it to puncture the wire. Since sparky was in a rush he probably didnt notice this happened or noticed and chose to not give any F's.
Aye the Goldeneye theme you got that golden eye bro
Willie at it again!
I stopped nailing through my wires immediately after watching this video. Great tip.
This seems to be the new normal across all trades. People just don't take pride and they're work anymore. Then you have to deal with these horrible inspectors.
Not Horrible! INSPECTIONS SAVE LIVES! Or do you like the idea of waking up to your house, (or hotel, etc.) on FIRE?
sparky sparky fire lol, good catch
Will Smif nailed it!
