how did you find your engineer to review your plans?

I wonder why you didn't go with sheep's wool?

Great move. We watched a neighbor's house burn. Military post. Residents were working on a vintage car in the garage and had a big fuel leak. Fumes accumulated. They realized the danger and decided to push the car out of the garage. Unfortunately they needed to unlock the steering wheel, so turned the key to "on." WHOMP. I heard that terrifying sound inside our place. Whole family badly scorched and immediately medevac'ed to a burn center. So sad. Our house was in danger, but the fire department arrived at the quick time and hosed us down.

its unconstitutional for the government to force you to do business with a third party company!!!!

What chemicals are used during the manufacturing process of the water bags?

With you installing the Fire sprinkler system I was curious as to where you were located as per Cold Winter Temps and water in the lines . Pex is strong but ICE is mightier ! The heads may be the achilles heal , the week point .I had a outside electrical plug that was not caulked and the winter wind blew thru enough to freeze a water pie and flood my laundry room . The glass temp bulb may frost and pop , be cautious the the cold as well as peak heat temps.

Thanks for the tip!

Need a buffer between everyone else and your property to help stop fires coming onto your property

Nice pro

Should the sheets run the opposite way of stud framing. So as to rack the house and keep it from racking in The wind? Maybe don't care but when I framed homes we had to do that way.

Is that outside elbow cross threaded at 16:59 minutes??

You are doing exactly what I did (sort of).. For less than $500 I kitted out my 3600sqft house with sprinklers. I did a 1" Trunk off my bladder tank (80psi) with 3/4" loops for each floor and 1/2" takeoffs all in Pex A with flush mount sprinklers (24 in total). Talk to your insurance company, they usually give you a nice discount for having it in your home. I would add a 80+ gallon bladder tank inline incase you lose power with the pump to get a few minutes of run time..

I have 2007 Hardie (not asbestos) on my house. I now have a second house where the outside needs remediated removal, that why I’m here. My main concern with Hardie is calcium silicate dust possibly being a hazmat removal in the future. I believe California already considers non asbestos Hardie to be hazmat removal. I’m certainly leaning towards LP because of this. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Great video and it led to some questions for me. We have a second home in upstate NY and I can't imagine how much damage a fire could do while we are way, we are surrounded by forest. At the same time, 2 years ago we had significant flood damage due to a frozen pipe that was covered by insurance but was a huge headache to correct. Since the house runs on forced air, we shut the water down when we are away. It would seem to me, even if the sprinkler system has an independent source of water, you introduce the risk of a failure leading to flooding. I know there are devices that can shut off the water flow automatically but I am wondering how it could distinguish between failure and fire. Maybe I need to watch part 2! Donated to FD.

Wonderful timeliness on the video (for me!). I have been trying to figure out how I was going to deal with access and size of a loft area, and the code allows more leeway if the whole house is covered by fire sprinklers. I had assumed they would be much much more expensive - I will have to take a close look at how they'd fit in my build.

I'm not trying to pour salt on the wound, but this is why licensed GCs bill for project management on subs. Yes, this team probably does exceptional work for your friend who's a GC, but the GC is likely a presence on the site, keeping the subs in check and ensuring the right amount of concrete is ordered and delivered on the day of the pour. I'm a GC in the Colorado mountains, and if I'm not on top of my subs, they do what they need to do to get in and out, not necessarily what they should be doing to make the job memorable (not all, but there are definitely certain characters). Sorry you had this experience.

Residential fire sprinklers sole purpose is NOT to save the property, it is to save lives. Period. In a house fire, you have 2-3 minutes to escape before flashover occurs. This is when superheated gases become trapped in a space and combust. In installing sprinklers the purpose is to cool the superheated gases to give you more time to escape. The results through speak volumes. 90% of the homes are saved and the fire is contained to 1 sprinkler head going off. All homes in America by code should have sprinklers, but you can blame the big home builder lobbies for continuing to block that code in each state. FL is actually getting a lot of traction now and will probably be the 3rd state to adopt this ordinance. PEX is not the best solution for sprinklers lines because it does burn, but it is hidden between a 30 minute 1/2” gypsum fire rated assembly. State codes don’t manidate what piping material choice to be used because of this. CPVC does perfomuch better though.

My wife and I are building a house in CA, and yes, we are required even as owner builders, to install fire sprinklers. I have been grumbling about this requirement because the fire safety we CARE about is all about the wildfires OUTSIDE the home - so James Hardie and Rockwool all the way! This video has helped me decide that maybe ITS OK to be required to do this ;) Interesting tidbit - Manufactured homes in CA are not mandated to have them, just stick built.

Would love to see a pump/tank video on this. These systems are required all over Oregon also.

The fire company seen in this video is our local volunteer station, who relies heavily on donations to operate. We started a fundraiser on their behalf and would appreciate your support. We'll keep it up until the last of our fire sprinkler videos, then share the final amount fundraised at the end! gofund.me/79698bf6

Homes with attached garages are big fire hazards, as are electric bikes and cars that are kept in them. We live in PA, but my daughter is an EMT/Firefighter for a county in Maryland. Going through two rounds of firefighter training has her thinking seriously about fire protection when she builds her own house someday. So glad that house was unoccupied! Good on you for thinking about this during your build and bringing awareness to fire safety!

Is it possible that unimpeded small air flow around the sprinkler head is a design requirement for reliable activation of the sprinklers? I worry for you that the air sealing boxes could delay or prevent the fire protection that you are looking for. If the manufacturer’s instructions do not address this, you might want to check with them before drywall goes up. If the boxes are OK, that’s great. Thanks for this informative episode and the terrific series.

As an HVAC professional, it’s important to understand that when installing teflon tape it is wrapped around the threads in the same direction as when installing the fitting. Installing the tape the other way will actually remove the tape when installing the fitting and will likely cause a leak. Personally, I’ve never had a leak from teflon only prepared fitting with the exception of fittings physically breaking due to over tightening. The teflon is an excellent lubricant and over torquing is extremely easy. In most situations making a fitting hand tight as possible then additional single 360 degree turn is sufficient. For the higher quality/thicker teflon such as yellow colored tape only 3 wraps are necessary I never use white. Always read the label to see if the tape you are using is listed as compatible with the product in the pipe. Rich out. 🫡

We had a house fire back in the late 90s, to this day I can smell smoke and tell the difference of whats burning. For years I would be looking for something only to realize it burned in the house.

Where dose the pulslater line go

I Hope your Home owners Insurance will cut you a Break , as your Home is now more protected.

Time to build out of a material that doesn't burn. Rammed earth or concrete or hemp crete

What a burn

Look at all them steel beams that failed because of the fire. Take note 911 conspiracy theorists.

See this more and more!

Freakers are destroying my zukes one after the other. Thanks ill now go to war 😡😤

But if you don’t have an electrician do the wiring it voids the warranty, from what MrCool is saying.

I actually terminated on-site was a giggler

Great update.

Came for the bobs stayed for the build.

Loving your channel. Really interested to see in a couple years how your sealant-free system is faring :) my old house is basically made of wood, sealant and paint and LORD I am tired of battling wood rot & the constant wood re-finishing.

Is it the DCST970B or DCST970X1 Model?

Can he even lift a sheet of that? Poor guy look like he's 80 pounds soaken wet. 😂 My 65 year old mom could pick him up 😂 On a windy day strap him down ! 😂 I ain't done yet hold on! 😂 My dog shits bigger than him 😂 Ahhhhh 😂 Sorry I honestly really needed a good laugh ❤

Nice video! Get your hearing checked.

No!☹ not exposed fasteners.

ive had the vaccum for years thinking about getting the pole saw for the tree next to my house!

прикольный сарай.

Good Job. well done, exept..... You use Gas for heating and Freon for cooling that is so 1800. To pity great oppertunity you mist it !

Great video!

What about using Zip's Flash Tape vs siga fentrum? It has adhered to concrete pretty well in my experience.

I was told the liquid is very important that they get it as well. Just mix in a little dry feed when feeding to absorb it.

I have tendonitis from all my computer work so a bought an affordable Ryobi battery operated caulk gun. It has a little lag, but great tor doing long runs and you can adjust the rate. I got mine for about $60, a lot cheaper than a Milwaukee. Already had the batteries.

very handy!! I've used them a few times.works great on tall long wall running vynal siding

Did you mention the type of thread to use? If so, I missed it. Thank you. I am inspired.
