Builder *and* beforeInert beforeUpdate

I'm not looking to extend the database functionality, I'm looking to be able to use the beforeInsert from the database model while using the builder functionality.  I believe I want to extend the BaseBuilder class in the System/Database folder.

So far, this isn't working:

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace App\Libraries;

use CodeIgniter\Database;

class BaseBuilder extends BaseBuilder {
    public function insert(array $set = null, bool $escape = null)
    {
        log_message("error","IN EXTENDED BASE BUILDER");
        if ($set !== null)
        {
            $this->set($set, '', $escape);
        }

        if ($this->validateInsert() === false)
        {
            return false;
        }

        $sql = $this->_insert(
            $this->db->protectIdentifiers(
                $this->QBFrom[0], true, $escape, false
            ), array_keys($this->QBSet), array_values($this->QBSet)
        );

        if (! $this->testMode)
        {
            $this->resetWrite();

            $result = $this->db->query($sql, $this->binds, false);

            // Clear our binds so we don't eat up memory
            $this->binds = [];

            return $result;
        }

        return false;
    }
} 


I'm not seeing my log message in what I believe should be an overwritten class function (according to Extending Core Classes in the docs)
