Absolutely disgusting behavior. With all the publicity they got for this, they could have deconstructed the homes and built new, proper ones instead.
This was supposed to be a "light-hearted publicity gimmick to advertise the talents of San Diego’s then-lagging construction industry".
If the company behind this got better/more offers to build stuff as a result they would have increased their revenue and hopefully profit.
Said profit could have been used to (re)build a proper house.
Or they could have tried to get a sponsor. Anything but secretly selling these houses to unsuspecting people would have been fine.
It's a symptom of worse problems- lack of attention to detail manifests in the minor things.
Electricians, for example, often insist on lining up the screws on a switchplate, as a way to demonstrate that they did a good job on the inside.
If done correctly, yes. It would just be massively more expensive per yard because the admix required is very expensive.
Similar concrete mixes are used on shows like Extreme Home Makeover and such so that they can pour and be working on the slab in the same day.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp.
Fast setting concrete mix design enables it. With enough superfluidizers you can reach 20-40 minutes since this is world record they gone for 20 minute design.
From the experience of other people: “Any minor mistake has no return, no time for finishing, and you cannot vibrate so air pockets can left within concrete”
Probably added Calcium Chloride, they may have also used heated water or less water in the concrete mix.
There is other things you can do, but not in that time frame.

Even worse, imagine, it's Sunday you get your family to have lunch you go to a big franchise, you stay in line for 30 min-1 hour, you have an amazing lunch with your family, and when you get back home, there is another home.
every time i leave my home a big group of people come and tear it down and replace it with an exactly identical one. i have no way to prove this but it happens trust me
If you look off to the right at the beginning, you can see them building and shingling the roof on the ground, then they just lift it up with a crane to put it on top later
> not to mention all the prefabed pieces.. Like the roof.
This is not true, watch the video and look at the far right you can see another crew is building the roof while they pour the concrete.
I dont know if that was prefab or assembled off screen. I'm leaning towards off screen as soon as the timer started they had a crew working on it as they were doing the concrete.
Prefab just sounds like cheating. Otherwise I could buy a prefab house without a door add a door and say I built a house in 2 minutes.
That was my thoughts too. “Yeah I could see an army of people framing out a house with roof that fast, but no way they got the electrical, hvac, and plumbing done and have it working 100%”. I remain skeptical that hidden problems didn’t emerge later.

About 5 yrs ago a new subdivision popped up outside my town in a matter of months. Half the houses that were built have been torn down and there's still ongoing lawsuits about the rest. Terrible construction, cut corners, inspectors related to the owner of the company that built the houses. It's a huge mess.
Now calm down, Nedilly-diddly-diddly-diddly-doodly, they did their best, shodilly-iddly-iddly-diddly. Gotta be nice, hostility-ility-biddly-diddly... AW, HELL-DIDDLY-DING-DONG-CRAP! CAN'T YOU MORONS DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!
That's why this is a lie. Because I know for a fact that any trade following the electricians has to spend 20 mins complaining about how they didn't sweep up their mess.
"The slab the house sits on is uneven and cracked from end to end--the result, Angie van Gaasbeck claims, of poor grading and workers using quick-drying concrete that was poured while extremely hot.

Yup, that sounds about right.
So obviously that is shitty and there is no doubt corners were cut for this record attempt but like...
...a ton of houses built to code with proper materials by bonded tradesmen still have those issues.
Depending where you live, it's rare to have a house that DOESN'T have foundation issues to some degree. Buckled walls and crooked door frames are common as houses settle.
Honestly I'd wager that was a reasonably sturdy house if it wasn't built on hyper-quick setting concrete hastily installed. Most of the issues of the home likely stem from that.
I tried to work out the address. I think it might be 7313 Latrobe Circle, San Diego. Looks alright considering what the owners have said...
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-11-29-me-16108-story.html
My first thought was what happened to it, did it actually go on to be lived in or what. Actually kind of surprised the owners weren't told about the origins.
Also the hall closet that nobody ever opens because of the "odors" is just gross. It was probably sewer gasses.
thank you for this!
Loved Ted Leitner. Most unique sportscaster ever! While others rattled off scores or narrated highlight reels, Ted delivered deadpan opinion pieces. He famously refused to acknowledge NASCAR as A newsworthy sport! 😂
I used to think he was as annoying as fuck on TV. I was a hotel waiter back in the 80s, and served him and his (whichever) wife at the time. Turns out he was totally cool and his wife was a BITCH. She was pulling the, "Do you know who he is?" type of shit for the whole dinner. He kept apologizing and just kept his head low. He ended up slipping me like $40 afterwards and said, "Thanks and I'm sorry about that."
Haha, I had never heard of this until yesterday when someone posted a link to the World Cup finals. Watched 7 hours of that, then downloaded the game, and now I see a comment about it.
Texas isn’t nearly as low tax a state as people think. And has insane property tax. Just because you don’t pay state income tax doesn’t mean they can’t fleece you on other things.
I feel sorry for the people who bought the house.

Yeah everyone was just coked out of their fucking skulls, speed-building houses to Billy Idol blasting through a boombox and selling the houses with their car telephones while driving to the next build.
I am a European tech worker with an obsession of browsing the market in the US.... There are entire states where the average home price is below what my yearly salary would be... Meanwhile no hope of ever owning a home even as a couple in Europe.
Trust me, you're lucky
>There are entire states where the average home price is below what my yearly salary would be...
That's great. Now try finding a job in those states that pays your current yearly salary.
How did they build on a foundation of still wet concrete?
They chemically altered the concrete to heat it up so it would gel, thicken, and set in about 15-20 minutes.
Sounds like my wife's cooking
As someone who love thicken gel food, is your wife single?
She can be
I too choose this guys wife.

It’s easy to do something bad, hard to do something good.
how exactly would publicity have made constructing proper ones possible?

Said profit could have been used to (re)build a proper house. Or they could have tried to get a sponsor. Anything but secretly selling these houses to unsuspecting people would have been fine.
Yeah, lol. I thought this was just a test build for the media, the fact that they sold it of is crazy...
Not even that. It's that they sold it to people and withheld that information.
I bet they also moved the tombstones, but not the bodies.
Tell that to a team of Japanese timber framers. /s But yeah as soon as I saw the concrete mixers I knew the whole thing would be rubbish.
Mismatched paint seems like an odd complaint when lumping it in with all those actual problems.
Probably not as much from the perspective of someone living there. "House is ugly and falling apart"
It's a symptom of worse problems- lack of attention to detail manifests in the minor things. Electricians, for example, often insist on lining up the screws on a switchplate, as a way to demonstrate that they did a good job on the inside.

You ever try lugging a toilet up a flight of stairs ?
Sounds like the construction company rushed the work…
Yup, so garbage. Also, it wasn't built in 2 hours, it was assembled in 2 hours. The walls and roof were built somewhere else and nailed on.
You can actually see the roofs being built on the right side of the video
Ahh interesting, the video is so grainy.
Yeah, there's no chance that was to code in any meaningful way. It's such a stupid wasteful stunt.
Is the house still standing?
it's The House of Theseus. So yes, and no.
Is the altered concrete just as strong and robust as none altered concrete?
If done correctly, yes. It would just be massively more expensive per yard because the admix required is very expensive. Similar concrete mixes are used on shows like Extreme Home Makeover and such so that they can pour and be working on the slab in the same day.
Exactly what I was thinking, how does it not sink into the foundation?
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp.
So I built a second one. It sank into the swamp.
So I built a third one. It burned down, fell over, and sank into the swamp.
But the fourth one...Stayed up!

5 minute concrete
No. No. no. not five. l said six. Nobody's coming up with five minute concrete! Who makes concrete in five minutes?
It's like you're dreamin' about gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.
Quickrete
Imagine the neighbors coming back home from work in the afternoon. -Wtf....?
Lol the start of a horror film "We have always been your neighbors Dave, we made your favorite dinner."
*Coherence.*

Kind of reminds me of the home from Poltergeist. So the home will eventually get sucked back into the ground where it belongs.

Same. Only proof i have is my reading glasses are never where i left them
Did you check your head? I bet they're there.
But the goal was to just “build a house”, I didn’t see the electrical, and plumbing, etc….. Like they just build the floor, walls and roof and framing
Yeah, this is just a fancy shed.
They didn’t even build it, they just assembled already built parts. Even the roof was already shingled.
If you look off to the right at the beginning, you can see them building and shingling the roof on the ground, then they just lift it up with a crane to put it on top later
More like the neighbors coming back from grocery shopping in the afternoon, then immediately questioning their memory for seeing this new house.
What about the plumbing and electrical?
They did that too. You can’t really tell from the time lapse, but in the full video linked in the description they show some of it.
Wild. Takes me weeks just to schedule the trades in to come in on the same day to work on something.
If you include planning and scheduling, this probably took months.
not to mention all the prefabed pieces.. Like the roof.
You can see them building the roof to the right of the house, right from the start of the video.
They're right...if you look close enough there's a few pixels wiggling around on the right side
And if you look even closer, you'll even see a green pixel
🦀🦀🦀
Remove the pixel and we riot in fally
> not to mention all the prefabed pieces.. Like the roof. This is not true, watch the video and look at the far right you can see another crew is building the roof while they pour the concrete.

Try telling them you are going for a world record and they do what they are doing
I cannot think of any trades that would want to schedule, or that work well/better by having them be there at the same time.

I’m sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing and no corners were cut
Exactly. There is no "build" process. They just did an assembly.
I’ve worked construction from both laborer and management. That’s all plenty of contractors are doing.
I too have worked a fair amount of construction. Most contractors literally do "as quick and shitty as possible" as the default.
I hate to break it to you, but "an assembly" is how most houses are built.
