# my biggest failures as a homeowner Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD6J4Fjq5bA Recap page: https://rapidrecap.app/video/GD6J4Fjq5bA Generated: 2026-11-02T04:49:23.929+00:00 --- ## The Gist William Osman inspects and attempts to finish a series of neglected home and yard projects, including a $6,000 induction cooktop, a broken golf cart, and a dead refrigerator full of frozen bananas. ## Quick Overview William Osman inventories a long list of unfinished projects around his property, ranging from broken machinery to a severely neglected high-end induction cooktop. With help from Kevin and his family, he tackles minor repairs like drilling out a water-logged truck tail light and hosts a family Halloween pumpkin carving contest. Ultimately, the household projects remain largely unfinished while the family pivots to holiday celebrations. **Key Points:** - William Osman owns a $6,000 induction cooktop from Impulse Labs that sat outside in the elements for nearly a year. - Kevin brings over a refrigerator from a previous house that has been sitting behind a tarp for two to three months. - A freezer kept plugged in since the filming of an earlier episode contains two full buckets of frozen bananas that have been rotting there for two years. - The 150-square-foot shed on the property contains an industrial sewing machine and serves as a shelter where wild animals occasionally enter. - William attempts to fix a waterlogged taillight on a red Dodge truck by drilling a drainage hole into the plastic casing. - The Impulse Labs induction cooktop features 10,000 kilowatts of power, or 15 horsepower, which runs on integrated batteries. - The family gathers for their first annual pumpkin carving contest, where William dresses as Bowser, his wife as Princess Peach, and their daughter as Princess Daisy. - The family takes a bumpy ride in a silver sedan through the property while wearing Halloween costumes and dodging their own wood pile. ![Screenshot at 04:36: William Osman unboxes the $6,000 Impulse Labs induction cooktop that has spent a year sitting outside.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-04-36.jpg) **Context:** William Osman is a popular creator known for undertaking chaotic engineering and DIY projects on his property, often enlisting friends like Kevin and members of his family to help test high-end gear or build structures. ## Detailed Analysis William Osman tours his property to inventory various unfinished DIY tasks, broken vehicles, and abandoned equipment. He examines a broken coin pusher, a horse trailer, a motorized cart with a dead motor controller, and a Bobcat excavator leaking hydraulics. He opens a freezer containing two buckets of frozen bananas that have remained plugged in for two years, ultimately deciding to throw them away. Osman then moves on to his prized $6,000 Impulse Labs induction cooktop, which is powerful enough to spin go-kart wheels. After scrounging up scrap plywood from around the yard and building a makeshift wooden cart with wheels, he and Kevin muscle the heavy glass cooktop onto the new base. They wheel it inside the house to test it against a stainless steel pot filled with water. When he attempts to boil the water, the cooktop's smart display flashes an error code reading incompatible cookware because the pot lacks the correct induction properties. Frustrated by the failure and the weight of unmet expectations, Osman and his family abandon the project and transition outside for a Halloween pumpkin carving contest. Dressed as Bowser, William hands out pumpkins, watches his daughter smash a pumpkin out of frustration, and takes a chaotic drive through the yard in a battered sedan with his family. ### Unfinished Yard Equipment and Infrastructure William showcases the various large items and vehicles around his property that he started working on years ago and never finished. - A broken coin pusher sits outside rotting after being bought to bring to Open Sauce. - A horse trailer bought by William's sister sits unused and broken on the property. - A Bobcat 337 excavator leaks hydraulic fluid from its hoses and remains in disrepair. - A Taylor-Dunn utility cart sits with a broken motor controller that William never replaced. ![Screenshot at 01:08: William stands next to a broken horse trailer and a cartoon-faced cart on his property.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-01-08.jpg) ### The Two-Year-Old Frozen Bananas William investigates a chest freezer that has been running continuously since an earlier video shoot. - The freezer contains two large buckets of frozen bananas that have been kept cold for two full years. - William questions how much electricity he wasted keeping the bananas frozen instead of throwing them away earlier. - Instead of attempting to make banana bread, William dumps the frozen buckets into the trash. ![Screenshot at 02:50: William opens the chest freezer to reveal buckets of frozen bananas sitting inside.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-02-50.jpg) ### Drilling Out the Truck Taillight Kevin points out a broken taillight on a red Dodge truck that is completely filled with water. - William uses a power drill to punch a drainage hole into the bottom of the taillight housing. - The water pours out, successfully clearing the lens so the housing is clean enough to drink from jokingly. - The quick fix proves that not every project takes days of intensive labor to resolve. ![Screenshot at 03:33: William drills a hole into the waterfilled taillight of a red truck.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-03-33.jpg) ### Building a Base for the $6,000 Cooktop William tackles his main project by unboxing the high-end induction stove and constructing a makeshift wooden cart for it. - The Impulse Labs cooktop costs $6,000 and is rated at 10,000 kilowatts with 15 horsepower. - William screws together scrap wood and casters to build a mobile wooden base since the unit requires a countertop cutout. - Kevin helps lift the heavy glass cooktop onto the newly built wooden cart so they can transport it inside. ![Screenshot at 06:12: William and Kevin lift the heavy induction cooktop onto their newly built wooden cart.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-06-12.jpg) ### Testing the Cooktop and Incompatible Cookware William brings the cooktop into the house to test how fast it can boil water, only to run into smart sensor errors. - William places a stainless steel pot of water on the first burner and sets it to 10 kilowatts. - The cooktop immediately pauses operation and displays an error message reading incompatible cookware. - William realizes the stove's smart sensors measure the inductance of the cookware and reject his standard pot. ![Screenshot at 07:57: The smart cooktop display shows a power output of 10 kilowatts before failing due to cookware incompatibility.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-07-57.jpg) ### The Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest The household gives up on the stove and shifts focus to a family pumpkin carving competition. - William dresses as Bowser, his wife wears a Princess Peach costume, and their daughter wears a Princess Daisy dress. - The daughter grows upset over her pumpkin carving experience, leading William to offer a comforting hug. - The family takes a bumpy ride in a silver sedan across the property while wearing their full costumes. ![Screenshot at 13:17: The family poses in full Nintendo character costumes for a photo before starting their pumpkin contest.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GD6J4Fjq5bA/00-13-17.jpg)
