Building Code Tips

Hello! Thanks for checking out my YouTube channel, my name is Ben.

I am a building inspector for my day job, dad and husband by night, construction nerd and do-it-yourselfer. My journey in construction started when I was 16 packing lumber for my uncle's house building company in Fairbanks, AK. After some schooling, and a few years spent out in the construction trenches I landed as a building inspector.

On this channel you’ll find informational videos, product reviews, construction hacks and Q&A's that will hopefully help out the do-it-yourself homeowner with tips, tricks and ACTUAL code requirements to get your project done without the costly redo's, or fixes. Everyday at work I answer questions for homeowners about framing, foundations, plumbing fixtures and so on. It brings me passion and excitement to be able to help homeowners work through their project. So here, I hope to do the same. 

I look forward to connecting with you in the next video — talk soon!
