A lot is from settling. Our kitchen pantry cupboards are separating with shelves falling. Crazy but our home is older so gotta either rip them out or add some thin framing and remount shelves.

It did last 20+ years from install but the home is pushing 75yrs but what grinds my gears is the fairly new builds I've seen are horrible. Last 20-30 years it's mostly been bad, obviously no craftsmanship in many of the trades any longer. Even the high-end homes are lacking.

this shed was installed in May -_- On hard packed red shale-clay earth. There is no settling going on lmao, unfortunately. Just some good ole half-assery. They didn't wanna dig into shale, so they didn't, they just took away an inch or two of topsoil in one section and called it good enough.

Bro, my current house is 16 years old, not one square window sash/sill or doorway.
Every piece of hardware, hinge, all stripped screws. Literally every single one.

When my house flooded from Harvey is when I had a mind numbing run of days where I was ripping everything out of the house, and I kept finding all the stuff that was stripped the most fucking nerve grinding shit on earth…..

I havent found a single 16" spaced stud in the house im in right now. You see that video i posted bout my basement steps? 🤣 🤣. Once i get to the new place, im just gonna do a trailer park remodel on this place and rent it out. The more i do the more i dont like the house. Took me an hour to figure out a suitable spot for the living room tv mount because the studs like to play hide and seek here.

Haha no use using a regular stud finder with lathe and plaster walls. My house is 1940.. lots of my walls are around 16", unless i'm expecting it to be... then it's 20" 🤣. I love the beefy old 2×4s until I'm running power to a TV and find there are numerous randomly spaced firestops in EVERY wall

The floor joists in this place say early 1900's. Big, heavy, thick, tough rough cut lumber. Looks like cedar too, so someone was thinking about resistance to pests in the future. But it looks like the only thing left from that place is the floor in the kitchen/living room/celiling of the basement underneath

Everywhere else, the studs are random, and its all crappy modern untreated 2x4's that measure 1.5x3.5 lol. Seems to be an old solid 1 bedroom, that some idiots hacked and bodged into a 3 bedroom somehwere along the lines. It was a rental property before i bought it, so im sure any remodeling or renovations or additions were cheapest possible solutions across the board. Studs could be anywhere from 12" to 24" here. County land though, not in a neighborhood. Not like code enforcers breathing down anyone's back.

Once im out of here, that's all ill be doing to this place. Then im gonna rent it out. The new place is smaller. No basement. But its a 2br with an open floor plan that honestly gives me more actually usable space then this place. And the yard is just one of the coolest pieces of land i think ive been on. Theres couple acres of open field. Couple acres of pine barrens with trails through it. And a couple acres halfway through primary secession back to wooden land too. And it's in the flood plane gully between two ridge lines. Soil will be excellent and hold moisture and minerals naturally, and the terrain is largely flat and open even though it's in the mountains at like 1500-2000ft elevation. Buying from the same old man i bought this place from. He's giving me an insane deal too. He's getting really old and i think just wanted out from under them to someone who would actually take care of the land and not lot it out to a real estate developer. Won;t be long and land like this will be a truly priceless possession too.

I've made a lot more poor decisions then most do tbh i think. And to begin with, far more rapidly too. There was a point that came where i stopped doubling down on poor decision and started inadvertently learning from them though. I have intense subconscious drives to protect my possible future's at this point. It has become the knee-jerk now. And that absolutely came from how terrible my decision making process was early on in adult life, and how dramatic and negative the consequences of those decisions were lol. If you learn the hard way, you take things a lot more seriously. Keyword there is "learn" though.

So most of the new homes that I deliver cabinets and flooring are running between 500k - 1 million dollars, and we’ve got $30,000 dollar kitchens in some of these homes with cabinet doors that have stripped out screws, paint rubbing off, warped doors you name it, it’s wrong. Some of the finish carpenters care, and others have to be begged and pleaded with just to go back and take care of the stuff. It’s really frustrating when the delivery guy has more sense of pride in their work than the finish carpenters do.

I make all my side hustle cash stealing work from contractors, and repairing the workmanship quality of professionals.

I don't do that on purpose though, just kinda falling into place that way, and I mean no offense to any Craftsman, contractors or skilled professionals here either. None of us are going to deny that there is a serious work ethic and skills problem going on. The core of our skilled tradesman demographic has kinda rotted away in recent years.


meeting another American my age authentically capable of performing highly skilled labor face to face has become a legend to me. It hasn't happened to me a single time yet. I just end up paying what feel like grown-up children an hourly pay to make every single cut improperly seemingly without noticing, and burn themselves repeatedly and wine about splinters and bugs. In a nutshell that's the age 24-32 skilled labor workforce in america rn. Most have this "hard work is beneath me" energy about em too, and they disappear after you pay them until they run out of weed again.

Sorry I got a bug up my ass about this. I've stopped saying yes when people my age and younger offer to work, all it does is directly cost me my own profit in the end. And most people that have the skill don't have the work ethic to bother.

Here we go. Water day, looks a war zone. It’s a total bitch getting in. I was actually going water tomorrow but the sensi seeds nl looked all droopy yesterday. The ecowitt said 12% yesterday and 8% today with more droop.
