Houses usually don't fail because of one big mistake... they fail because of a hundred little ones. 🏠🔨 Brad walks through a long list of construction shortcuts that can create problems later on. A sill plate without sealant or sill seal can leave gaps where bugs can make their way inside. A subfloor that's cut short, not centered on the joist, or poorly nailed can shift over time. Missing blocking or improperly installed tongue-and-groove plywood can allow seams to flex, and Brad says using subfloor adhesive is a smart step regardless of the fastener being used. He also points out that walls need to be properly fastened, plumb, and square, while joists need solid toenailing to help keep everything connected. The same attention to detail carries all the way to the exterior. Missed sheathing nails, missing house wrap, siding nails that miss the studs, and roofing shortcuts can all create problems down the road. Brad's biggest takeaway? Homes rarely have one single catastrophic mistake. It's usually multiple small shortcuts adding up over time that create major issues.
