Oh look! Proof that "Keeps" really does work.

People, just start building concrete houses. Termites cannot damage those)))

I hate to break it to you, but your client still has Termites! Should have called an exterminator after the tear-out.

You opened a classic can of worms

love your stuff I'm a retired plumber from N.Y. along with other hobbies i have been making some pretty funky cigar box guitars so much fun keep building those awesome homes

Chasing termites is terrible.

They NEED to treat this before closing in and all around the home! This is BAD. This was my nightmares about my house when i bought it, expected a full burn down but no, only the exterior siding and furring strips are destroyed by rain, ants and other bugs (don't have actual termites here but a few wood eating beetles) , everything innside of the weather barrier except some spots is just fine and untouched

Only took him 15 minutes too

CleanEatz > Factor

Makes me itchy watching that. That house is a shambles; bodged interior walls, crappy panelling, dodgy wiring and that awful suspended ceiling throughout. Oh and termites. I’d rather live in my shed. Why the hell didn’t any of that get noted in a survey when they bought it?

lol, did Ray say Amelia "Earnhardt"? totally made my day.

Love the 3 videos. Code here is 12” oc joists with composite material, hope this helps!

Your Ridge beam needs to be stronger, if you dont want rafter tie

Does the home owner paint whole trucks. I have a 1962 Willy’s truck I can not find anyone willing to paint a whole truck.

Those flying, winged, termites are the swarmers. They usually come out by the thousands each Spring. Bad news for that homeowner 😢

Can we get a “Let Jamie Talk!” Shirt

Did Ray say “Emelia Earnhart”?

that dust pan is amazing

Eric, I'd like to see this chevelle you speak of. With the house being in that kind of condition, the homeowner may want to consider storing it in a separate building.

I think those bugs with wings are carpenter ants. yikes. i would have this homeowner get his homeowners insurance out there to inspect because he could be looking at a whole new basement.

I appreciate the care and consideration y'all take on all of your jobs!

Why is the medium belt 400 on Amazon and other sizes 200?

Love the show! Do you think you could do a video showcasing your tool belt, and all of the ways you lay it out? Just bought one and not sure where everything should be.

Hi, great video, what r the standard size studs u use for jack/kings..?

Should've pre-beveled every piece of wood you would then later cut to frame the inside.

your dad looks exactly like your brother

I'm so glad we don't have termites in Sweden!

You shoulda had a company come treat befor you started to do any replacement of wood materials those termites will still be there even if you just put bait traps out side because they are coming from foundation cracks throu cinder blocks etc

What a nightmare

American houses🤢😊

I wonder if the facia fell off yet

Great, real life video on home repair. I’m glad you took this job.

How'd you lose your fingers on your left hand bro? Was it a table saw or circular saw? Thats badass how you still find a way to do what you love to support your family. Respect brother.

Have you guys ever built a net zero house?

I would think prior to hanging wall sheeting they would get it treated for termites.

No knee pads is crazy. Hurts just watching

I'm late, we in Germany currently pay 7.16 per gallon. But the simplest gasoline here has 95 octane.

As a carpenter from England I never even knew what damage termites could cause as we don’t have them. I moved to Australia 6 years ago and every build we do we always install termite barriers and I never actually knew how bad the consequences were! Very interesting to see and it’s crazy how bad it can get when left

I have a 1950's home that hasn't had that much love over the years. Decided to do a living room remodel and found the same thing. Water/termite damage. Tear one thing out to find multiple other issues. Being a disabled vet, I have lots of time to fix it, not being proficient in all the skills is my only downside. Love your content.

„If they’re drinking red bull“ lol

I bought a foreclosure a few years ago and i knew that part of the living room floor was soft, but when I pulled up the vinyl flooring there were SO MANY termites that I could literally hear them crawling. The damage was a lot like this house and much more extensive than I initially thought. 😬

2:10 Amelia EARNHARDT?! 💀💀💀

It's much better and reasonable we must build a house from concrete base, not a wooden based

I feel yall should have them treat the house then come in and rebuild

That boy country strong

One thing you can do to make sure that water is off before cutting it is run a 1/4” zip screw in it and then back it out. If there is pressure you can quickly run it back in. It’s a lot easier to manage that amount of water than running around with a 1/2” line cut trying to find shutoffs or turning the whole house or building down!

They owner may not like hearing it, and it doesn't go away. Fix the problems now before you regret it later and spend way more money. I come across this periodically with homeowners. This is why I have a binder with before, during, and after photos of jobs that the homeowner refused further work and regretted it. May be they don't have the money now. But I insist on getting us to come back and finish what is needed to be done.

Termites with wings are called swarmers, they are kings and queens of a potential new colony. This means the colony they are swarming from is 300k - 2 million strong.

i would of just got a match to the house.. love your work....

house needs to be treated for termites, if not this repair will need to happen again. Removing the termite damaged wood and replacing it with new wood does not get rid of the termites. I'v been in the termite business since 1998.
