To answer your question directly, no I have not. I do wonder if that is a local code where the person made the video. In my professional capacity I cannot tell you how many times I was told it was 'code' to have a specific $$$ product only to find out it was a misinterpretation of the code, or some salesman trying to press product via the inspectors. I've seem them get really pissy about sealing off boxes for air leakage here in the desert.

I do that to my neighbor all the time just so that he sees it every morning at 7am when his dumb retired ass leaves to go play golf and socialize with his stupid friends.
Jokes on you buddy! I’m over here raising three kids, working 60 hours a week, and still find time to cut my own yard!

So, our fall project here at Chez Haus is interior painting. We both hate painting so we're OK with paying a good painter to come handle up on it. We budgeted $10-15k. We want to minimize the labor expenses so we start boxing everything we can and packing things into areas which won't be painted to minimize prep/movement of shit. We call in the painter we want to get an estimate. We have noted there will be some minimal dry wall work also needing to be done.
I got a bad feeling as we packed things up seeing the number and types of cracks.. but did my best to suppress it.
Painter comes in and 5 minutes in he's like :
*sigh*
So now the fall project is "get foundation squared away". Slab foundation house built in Texas in the mid 60's. So this is par for the course. The foundation place I've used for my mom's house, when I called them and gave them my address, the girl immediately started typing it in and said "Oh.. looks like we've spent a lot of time on your street..." from the number of neighbors who have also had work done by them.
