I came for the crazy neighbor, but stayed for the fine craftsmanship.

I like how the inspector basically didn’t care. Showed up, was seen, and walked away.

The building inspector should send a bill to the crazy neighboar for wasting his time.

Sadly, one thing about crazy neighbors is they are never in short supply.

I have a crazy tenant . She loves to call all sorts of inspectors on us . When they come , they roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders and before leaving, wish us a good day .

Had the building inspector called on me once...we were also building a retainer wall....neighbor lied and said we were building a garage....thankfully the inspector spent about 5 mins and left....told us it was a waist of his time....what we did was obviously just a wall.....lol....neighbor was now the one in trouble....love it!!

When we have projects I put up trail cameras to keep an eye on our equipment. I've caught neighbors doing everything from egging the vehicles/equipment to tampering with and removing items such as tarps, etc. The police always love seeing the Trail Camera footage.

I’d have a lawn chair and beer in the yard watching you guys, no camera needed Excellent work

When he dropped the blower i felt my father yelling at me to not drop tools.

What people think happens when they call the inspector: Companies fined, project shut down, etc. What actually happens: this video - just guys swapping stories about nightmare things they've seen.

A friend of mine was having a house built and the crazy lady next door was calling the city inspectors' all the time and watching all the time. He was nice to her and asked her to respect their privacy. She didn't leave him alone, so up went an 8 foot privacy fence. LOL Her husband came over begging for it to be taken down and apologized for his master's behavior.

There are many similar projects in Woodprix's plans.

Hey! I have *TWO* of those kind of neighbors!! Sneaking over with a tape measure to check height code, putting up slow down signs on traffic cones, calling the city out to complain about dust and noise when workers are on site, denying access to power transformer on easement, etc. We have just started working on our new property so it has already proven quite the adventure!

When I worked construction years ago we worked across the street from a very well known grumpy old man and he would call the police on us for making noise, he did it three times. Finally the Chief of Police paid him a visit and said if he kept complaining he would arrest him for filing a fake report because the town only had quiet hours from 11 pm to 7am and we were always there at 8am.

I once had a nosey kid asking what we were doing when putting sod down. So I told him that the neighbours were so rich that they'd sent the grass away to be cut. His dad came out in tears laughing about it 🤣

I’m just a crew member right now but being considered for a foreman and I love watching your videos to perfect and improve all my skills. So thank you for making such excellent content!

Sound like every building inspector. 2 seconds to work out that you know what you are doing and 30 minutes telling building horror stories

If you know you do not need a building permit , *Never* *Ever* let a building inspector onto your property . Be nice about it but do not voluntarily agree to let them enter.

Karen’s are everywhere! When your legit, the inspectors rarely cause issues!!

for what its worth, when i did heavy restoration of my home and i knew there would be lots of workers and their nosey machines, i gifted my neighbors to the right and left and across from me all 50 dollar gift cards for a meal out at a local resturant, , that was my way of saying sorry for the incovience as my home gets repaired

We had the building inspector called in on us back many years ago by a grumbling neighbour. We had a permit and all was good when another neighbour approached the inspector to complain that the grumbling neighbour put a second story on their garage and an in ground swimming pool without a permit the year before. Long story but eventually the pool passed but the addition was ordered to be dismantled and was. It may have been allowed if all the neighbours agreed to a variance of the local height restriction but only one neighbour agreed and the addition was condemned and ordered to be removed. Apparently the building inspector knew about this but needed a complaint to move on it and he got it due to the hatred this person sowed amongst their neighbours. Cheers all. 🇨🇦

"that's probably a bad word, don't Google that". Love these videos as always

I love watching crews that are professional and not just hacks. Love the way the wall looked and the tips about keeping them clean is something I didnt know.

You did your due diligence, she just had nothing else to complain about

Would love to have seen the neighbours face when the inspector said there doing nothing wrong and doing a fantastic job what a picture that would be 🤣🤣🤣

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Normally the loudest complainer has something to hide.

Nice to see men doing actual good work with great pride and care , so hard to get anymore 👍

Love the 'war 'stories!!Great source of knowledge!

I have learned so much about retaining walls over the years watching this channel.

love it when the inspector is comfortable with your work that he sticks around to bs with you

I love the neatness of their work 💖

i been working construction all my life, you gys are not cutting any corners here, good work :-) really nice wall :-)

When the Lugnuts came lose I thought the crazy neighbor did it 😭😭😭

There’s always a damn crazy neighbor.

As one Pollack to another you guy's do awesome work. Work ethics was instilled in me since a young age and it carries through life. On harder jobs dealing with difficult costumers it comes in handy. Don't get down on your self for mispronouncing words. I speak a few languages and no matter how well you speak words do become intertwined and difficult to manage sometimes

Thanks enjoyed the retaining wall I am a retired stone mason I really liked your cheap insurance more rock the better drainage

I’ll bet this building inspector appreciated Blaine and Sam. You have some great people Stan, and they keep coming back so you must be doing something right! Great work guys!

This was very enjoyable. Especially due to the Building Inspector being called by an obnoxious neighbor and everything was perfect. Plus the job was completed and looking excellent! Congratulations on a job well done. Looking forward to the next video.

I’m a carpenter. Not interested in building retaining walls or landscaping outside of mulching around my house… but I thoroughly enjoy watching these videos! I love seeing the care and precision going into the work.

Always great to see the PROS in action.

The word is "culmination", and it's a great word!

Watching that guy round the nuts instead of getting a deep well socket hurt my soul.

Love it when people do thing correct and makes jt easier for the families that live or will live there in the future.

Title of crazy neighbor caught me too. You do nice work, but even more impressed with amount of time you put into editing the video. Narration, cut to different views, adding time lapse. Nicely done.

It's a pleasure to watch great builders who know what their doing complete a project with such professionalism, you are a credit to the industry keep up the good work lads 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇮🇪

I love the videos with Sam keep em coming he’s such an amazing person with the camera and how he explains in a fun interesting way keeps me laughing

Let me guess..the neighbour's name is Karen

You guys do absolute beautiful work, your dedication to perfection is palpable 😊

After 100s of blades from both Milwaukee and Diablo carbide, they are both equal. I pick up whatever is on sale at the time. No difference

I laughed so hard that he was able to slip the, “That’s what she said” in there. Love the work and that just made me hit the sub button... lol 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Thank You for the content we love yall

I have to know the other crazy stories about this neighbor now. Is there a follow up anywhere?

I love people who takes pride in their work" who go the extra mile just to make sure their customers are happy" Great job guys"

I believe the word you are looking for is "culmination" "the highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time."

Super quality work. I wonder if the homeowner realizes how well this job was done. There were a lot of areas where you could have cut corners and no one would have ever known. I bet your business is great and is based on great word of mouth. Super job!

It's good to see people take pride in their work

Your video made me go "hmm, there is a lot more to this stuff than I thought." Earned my sub EASY! Thank you for posting these awesome timelapse build vlogs.

This project was so cool! You and your Dirt Monkey crew are awesome. I am sure the homeowner was pleased. Now he needs you to build him a privacy wall to block that neighbor. I am blessed to have great neighbors. 😊 Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for the wonderful videos.

Love the way you guys work, no shortcuts! Greetings from Holland. And always check youre lockbolts 🤣

That retaining wall looked awsome and with the grass there the whole area looked very nice.

Guess the neighbor thinks they're the only ones who deserve a retaining wall..

My grandfather had a neighbor like that and tortured him till my grandfather passed. My grandfather had broken concrete brought in and we placed it, he painted it neon orange lol then planted every poisonous plant you can imagine, with a 10ft private fence

This might end up being long so I'm sorry for that it's just something 3 lines won't explain. First the structural fill (I say that due to the appearance of it being so clean looking pretty much void of any organics etc. but it could be just fill previously excavated too but I'm not there so) your using depending on lift size (code is typically 8" to 12" due to it's liquid limits as well as how low it's on the plasticity index that compaction sled (plate tamper) won't cut it as you'll only reach 4" to 5" tops due to the loose soil and it's moisture content (somewhat wetter by 3-4% would have been perfect and the plate tamp would have been ideal). I would have recommended a Jumping Jack which would have gotten you a rate of compaction up to 98% of the standard Proctor. If it was a modified proctor then that's a whole different story. The installation and type of aggerate you used for the base is excellent and overkill. It looks like your using S1A size aggerate but again I'm not there. For full disclosure I've never worked with that type of masonry block nor do I know the codes such as how many courses you can run before you have to stop for a required amount of set time etc. (for grout application's) so I can't really comment on that but it looks great and I wish I had worked with them due to the ease at which your going. Of course my experience is applied to about 10 or so major retention walls so I definitely am not the end all be all to them lol. I've explained all that so as to get an understanding that I have allot of knowledge of the subject. I'm a full C.W.I. as well as NICET level 4 on soils, concrete, asphalt as well as 16 other certifications ( operation of nuclear density machine's, etc. etc.). Point being I probably know 10 X what the Building inspector knows and I not only didn't see any discrepancy's but you've overkilled the project. Normally I'd never let anyone do work to my house as I'd do it myself but I would have no problems with you doing anything at my house as your as picky as I am (that's a good thing lol). Typically in my work we save contractors from bad inspectors (not saying he was one). We have in house Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineers That we use for any disputes and can supersede any of their actions. There's company's in every state that do 3rd party work in case there ever is a problem. Anyway excellent job and I'm sorry for the neighbor. People always want the best of everything such as roads, structures etc. but they never want to wait for anything to get done. Excellent work!

Thank you, I enjoyed watching Perfectionists working. Great job guys.

I’m a building inspector. If you done everything up to codes, don’t be afraid.

One of my all time favorite quotes fits so many situations like this. "The layman's constitutional view is that what he likes is constitutional and that which he doesn't like is unconstitutional..." -Justive Hugo Black. People that dont like something will try to make it illegal or anything they can to stop it.

Great job and you've got some amazing equipment. Homes are so very high quality wherever you are, so beautiful.

Learn a lot watching you guys

God bless my neighbors. They're great people who leave me alone.

"That's probably a bad word... Don't Google that." 🤣😅🤣

I don't do anything like this, but find it fascinating how well you and your crew do it. Hats off to you guys.

I didn't think I needed your channel but I DO!!!! 😃 subscribed

Brought back alot of memories. I worked doing hardscapes during my divorce. Hottest summer in the city of Baltimore by record. I lost 70 lbs and was in the best shape of my life. At 40 years old. 😅🇵🇱 Only Polish guy with a bunch of Guatemalans

Neighbor need to be respectful of each other, when people build let them. It’s THEIR land and THEIR dream !

Y’all do great work. Have no idea what the title has to do with the video. So they called the inspector - thats 30 seconds of the video.

Wow, the craftsmanship and attention to details is amazing.

I'm not into construction at all, but even I could tell that inspector knew within seconds that there was nothing off here. Asked his few questions to tick his boxes and then just shoot the breeze. Lol. Woman needs to get a life. Or a hobby. Seriously wish I had this kind of skill. Amazing looking work and must be really satisfying to stand back and know you built that.

I like your inspector. Seems like a good guy who’s been around a while.

Your wall looks so good.I would hire your company any day.Beautiful job.

"Don't google that." That was hiLARious. Ohhhhhhh god..... I needed that laugh. THANK YOU.

Just a tip - My job is primarily materials testing on job sites & a huge learning curve for slot of contractors is that to achieve target densities while packing granulars and even soils, the material needs to be brought to close to its optimum moisture level prior to packing, so for a 6” lift of Granular A material, try adding a nice coating of water to prior to packing, no need to soak it .. but the moisture activates the silt content in the material making it act as a binding agent and you’ll see dramatic improvements in your compaction & drastically decrease the chance of further settlement! Cheers boys great work!!

Told a neighbor to mind there own business once. That evening a wheel fell off. Funny that it had been on there 6 months with no problems. Later that evening the customer called and told me the other neighbor seen the first one out there messing with the trailer while we where around back.

I don’t do stuff like that but I really enjoyed watching you and your crew working. I’ve always been a fan of the do it right the first time job.

You guys are doing good helping people

I'm thankful I have good neighbors.

I was waiting for her to do this. I knew from the second your guy saw her taking video of what you were doing. I was honestly surprised she waited this long.

This is fascinating! I don’t know a thing about construction,but love watching the creative process.You guys are awesome!

great work guys, great that u caught those loose wheelnuts... can i suggest that when u get the deep socket to correctly tighten them up, use a torque wrench and get them tightened correctly!

I learned the hard way about scraping the tops of the blocks😂. Wished I'd seen this video first. It would of save me lots of time!

The house in the intro is beautiful and great looking yard too!

Seems there is one in every neighborhood. Ours unfortunately lives right next door too. They tried to have the city stop the construction of my 30 X 40 shop midway through because it detracted from their view. the city even had my project on the agenda list for a council meeting that I was never informed of or invited to. In the end though, the council told them that the permits had already been approved and issued and that they would have to go pound sand.

Hell of a job on the wall brother. Screw the neighbors

I love that you put it online though.

You’ll always get neighbours like that. They either don’t like what’s going on or want something for free. Keep doing what you’re doing Blane and Sam. Nice one Stan 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Love to see good guys doing great work!!

Still waiting for the crazy neighbor stories! Beautiful craftsmanship!

You need to do a " Dirt Monkey Story Time " I can imaging the stories you and your guys have. Another awsome and educational video. Thanks

I didn't see an "L" in "Built" on the last paver.

Watching you tighten those wheel nuts was PAINFUL!

Pure quality 👍 Tam.
