    Great advice! I've listened to many 20+ year contractors complain about how the ICC is "rigged" because they failed the exam. The reality is that there's a 90% fail rate because experienced contractors often believe their way is the best and that the code should match their 'best' practices. This mindset is flawed. As a general contractor with over 20 years of experience, I always keep my IRC book in my truck for reference. When I see a subcontractor doing something that won't meet code requirements, I refer to the book. Yes, sometimes they get upset, but I don't. This approach ensures I'm not losing money and they can continue making money on future contracts. It's a win-win, even if it bruises a few egos along the way.

So answer me this, at 6:56 in video when you lift off the plate, the drainback notch in the base is opposite the clamp "flat side" you refer to it as. Which is the direction of the connector, the top side, which makes sense because that's the bottom. But at 35:30 in the video, you line them all up with drain back notch at the top.

So doors and windows were at unusual sizes, Most of my doors that I’ve made over the past years, I’ve been at least 3 inches thick, And I’ve been fitted with high security euro locks , I wish you all the success for the future, keep up the great work,

I would have been scared to apply the finish you did and not use a stave core, but I know a lot of times we over exaggerate the effects of wood movement and the environment. Plus all wood interior or exterior needs maintenance it’s simply a question of how frequently and how labor intensive that process is. Any updates?
