00:10:40,273 including all the ceiling, 'cause we're gonna be moving 281 00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:41,407 the structural point. 282 00:10:42,242 --> 00:10:44,344 We know this wall's a concrete block, 283 00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,312 but taking off the cladding is the only way 284 00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:49,249 we can see exactly what we're dealing with structurally. 285 00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:56,523 Carlos, can you take around that corner? 286 00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:58,458 Yeah, I wanna see the headers. 287 00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:01,127 A header is a structural element that carries loads 288 00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:03,196 over things like windows and doors. 289 00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,166 We need to make sure that we have the proper headers, 290 00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:09,502 so that we can support our new open-design floor plan. 291 00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:10,637 Wow, there's no header. 292 00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:13,873 Not having a header over top of the doorways 293 00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:15,308 is incredibly dangerous. 294 00:11:15,775 --> 00:11:18,311 First, we have all these unsupported cinder blocks 295 00:11:18,378 --> 00:11:20,313 just dangling in the doorway. 296 00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:23,082 We're liable to have somebody just get bonked in the head 297 00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:24,817 by a cinder block at any moment. 298 00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:27,220 Second, we have the issue where the trusses 299 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,590 that support the roof are not supported by a header, 300 00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:32,125 because there's no header. 301 00:11:32,692

00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:53,479 we need to shore up both sides of that opening, 309 00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,782 so that the roof is fully supported. 310 00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:58,551 Then, we need to knock out all that loose cinder block, 311 00:11:58,618 --> 00:12:00,787 which will be replaced by a solid beam. 312 00:12:00,853 --> 00:12:02,956 On each side of the opening, the new header 313 00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:05,725 will be perched four inches into the wall 314 00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:07,927 to support the load above the opening. 315 00:12:07,994 --> 00:12:10,630 We're gonna have to do all of that four times, 316 00:12:10,697 --> 00:12:12,999 because none of the existing headers in this house 317 00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,067 are up to code. 318 00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:15,668 And speaking of building codes, 319 00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:18,471 we have to re-submit all of our design plans to the city, 320 00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:20,607 to account for this extensive restructuring. 321 00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:22,675 I don't know what's goin' on there. 322 00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:24,310 I don't know why there's no header there 323 00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:25,712 or why that's still standing. 324 00:12:25,778 --> 00:12:27,280 I don't know what's goin' on there. 325 00:12:28,047 --> 00:12:30,984 Let's let these guys peel the onion back a little further 326 00:12:31,050 -->

--> 00:12:42,962 we're continuing other work in the main house, 330 00:12:43,029 --> 00:12:45,665 where we're adding furring strips to the block walls. 331 00:12:45,665 --> 00:12:47,266 These thin strips of wood 332 00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,469 are fastened directly onto the cinder block, 333 00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:52,071 and help us even out the interior surfaces. 334 00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:55,041 Then, it's onto framing the new walls with 2x4s. 335 00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:58,444 [cutter whirring] 336 00:13:00,046 --> 00:13:02,348 Because this house sits on a slab of concrete, 337 00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:04,617 we need to cut trenches into the cement 338 00:13:04,717 --> 00:13:06,486 so we can lay down the new plumbing below it. 339 00:13:09,055 --> 00:13:11,524 Red and blue PEX pipes are fed through the framing 340 00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:13,359 and equipped with fasteners to connect them 341 00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:14,394 throughout the house. 342 00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:18,064 PVC pipes are then cut and glued together 343 00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:20,033 and then carefully placed in the trenches. 344 00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,805 It's time to kick things off on the exterior. 345 00:13:25,872 --> 00:13:27,573 We'll first replace the old roof. 346 00:13:28,074 --> 00:13:29,509 Our crew from Bruzz Roofing, Inc. 347 00:13:29,909 --> 00:13:33,146 starts by ripping the brittle, weathered 3-tab shingles 348 00:13:33,246 --> 00:13:35,648 to get right down to the base decking. 349 00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:38,217 Next, they install a synthetic underlayment, 350 00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:40,320 a very important step for protecting the roof 351 00:13:40,386 --> 00:13:41,554 from the elements. 352 00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:43,589 Then, the new shingles are hammered on. 353 00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:50,897 Now onto the ADU, where we first need to demo 354 00:13:50,997 --> 00:13:53,266 those rotten exterior wood panels. 355 00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:55,368 This interior paneling is weak, 356 00:13:55,435 --> 00:13:58,438 and it's really beat up and just needs to be torn down. 357 00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:01,040 I mean, it's intended for the interior. 358 00:14:01,107 --> 00:14:03,710 Then, new plywood boards are installed 359 00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:06,112 to create a stronger, more insulated base layer 360 00:14:06,112 --> 00:14:07,113 for the exterior. 361 00:14:08,648 --> 00:14:10,950 Cementacious boards are then measured and cut. 362 00:14:11,417 --> 00:14:13,720 This fiber cement siding is a durable, 363 00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:15,988 low-maintenance material that lends a sleek 364 00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:18,624 contemporary look to any home. 365 00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,661 It also lasts a lot longer than wood or vinyl siding. 366

00:14:34,006 --> 00:14:36,075 Now unfortunately, those headers, 370 00:14:36,142 --> 00:14:38,111 they're gonna take up a lot more time, 371 00:14:38,111 --> 00:14:39,846 a lot more work and a lot more money 372 00:14:39,912 --> 00:14:41,013 than we anticipated. 373 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,849 But, at least we'll be able to keep 374 00:14:42,915 --> 00:14:44,684 the same design we had
