Louis Rossmann looking for a new shop is the 2019 reality series of the year.
I think there are more videos than are in the playlist:
omg
Are I am the only one who think its a horrible idea to make a Floor out of Wood?!
When you put some Wires under them and the catch Fire?!
Untold hundreds of millions of houses have wooden construction and wires. Things don't burst into flames at random.

I'd say most houses have a wood floor

The problem is not a wood floor as such but how it was done.

sure, but Lord of nothing seem to think the wood is a problem
Almost all US residential construction has the electrical run through/under/above wood, and not in conduit with some exceptions, like Chicago.
For the most part perfectly safe if done correctly.
the video is so stable !
Even more amazingly, he supposedly doesn't use a gyroscopically stabilised mount. Just an
LG G8 ThinQ. Apparently it incorporates a Sony camera with optical image stabilisation. That is an expensive flipping phone though.

Who?
Here in Austria the Law are very strict when it come to Fire safety.
Wood subfloor sucks, they creak and groan and laminate flooring on top generates a ton of static electricity, absolute crap for a lab. Concrete is great, paint it or floor tile it.
In the video, I don't see much for an up-to-code sprinkler system?

Yeah, but the houses in the US are just big shacks, made to last 20 years.

If you were to have followed the journey, you will know why it's been done with wood.
What material would you suggest they use?

Then there are a LOT of homes and other buildings around the world that are death traps!!!

Aside from Chicago (about which I know nothing) I absolutely agree.

Last I checked, New York wasn't in Austria.

Floor creaking was one of the key issues being addressed with the contractor in recent videos.

Concrete is impractical - for more reasons than one. This has been a subject that has been
repeatedly addressed by Louis and Paul

Strange. I distinctly remember Louis commenting on the sprinkler system as being "up to code".
But, with the dismissal of the contractor, the game has changed completely, now.

Speaking of death traps - that reminds me of that one occasion where we visited a friend in Calabria in southern Italy. There was a heavy downpour of rain hitting the entrance of the house and all of a sudden the doorbell started ringing faintly. One of the guys went to have a look and as he touched the metal frame of the doorbell knob, he got a heavy electric shock that sent him to the ground.
It turned out that the doorbell was mains powered. Normally, you'd use a low-voltage system to make sure to not electrocute unwitting visitors, but hey, what could possibly go wrong? Wires never get loose, right?
What went wrong was that the rain had flooded the cavity in which the doorbell knob was mounted, shorted the electric switch (hence the bell ringing) and of course connected the metal frame to mains voltage.
As I cited above....

And then there's this thing called "Contractor Creativity"...

Which applies to any construction or material.

Some bloke called Henry Tudor (kind of known for the number of 'divorces' he had) had this weekend cottage in Epping built out of wood in 1543AD (some 64 years before the founding of Jamestown in Virginia):
with wood floors (and wood for everything apart from the tiled roof, fireplaces and chimney, with a bit of plaster slapped here and there):
and it's still standing. It even has electricity nowadays.
My house has the original wood floors (and electricity) and has been here since Queen Victoria was on the throne.

Who?
Here in Austria the Law are very strict when it come to Fire safety.
And yet I can assure you to this day, in Austria, houses are made with both wood and electricity..

For that there are Electrical Code standards that specify rules for electrical wiring over wood structures.

Sometimes moving or adding a wall in a building is done yet leaving the sprinkler heads in their old position because contractors are lazy crooks. I only saw two at the back end of the room which seemed strange.
NFPA 13 (436 pages!) 8.12.3.1 maximum spacing depends on ceiling height and seems to be 12 ft.
I thought the floor is presently concrete? I still say a wood subfloor is awful, there are no joists it's just a 2x4 wall on its side. Even 1" is enough.

afair he said there is quite the difference in height from from to back of the store and adding enough concrete to level it out would be more weight than the construction can handle.
if the joists were shimmed up properly and not just held up with pieces of wood nailed to the side, the spans should be quite short

I haven't been keeping up to date, what's the TLDR?
Has Louis done his dough so far?

afaict the contractor did crappy work, cut corners and is a bit of scammer with bankruptcies in his past so the work done
so far is scrap and Louis is unlikely to see any of his money back
