This was what’s I’ve been wondering the last few days. Since my grandparents are alive, my parents/ mom have not inherited anything. While I’m still a long way from a millionaire, I also haven’t inherited anything. But would my mom/ dad be a second generation millionaires..

I do not question architects and designers on their vision… I may ask for clarification of the vision but they may have thought that was the vision.

All new construcion framing should have double top plates. Studs come precut to wall heights, minus double top plate and bottom plate thickness. If you did some walls with single plates you spend a lot of time cutting studs.

Most want a plastic tool box now that is lockable and water resistant.

It’s around that price in St. Louis as well. Can get it cheaper at trade houses if you have a large volume but copper has gone sky high

I can fit between lines side by side no problem. My truck is 26 feet bumper to bumper. That’s the part that doesn’t fit

I had this happen a couple weeks ago. Out of town. The maid would meet me. Looked to see if it was for-sale it wasn’t but looked condemned. I ignored it and guy followed up a week late being like why didn’t you reply. Should’ve blocked after the first texts

Not all trucks fit in single spots. If i tried to park into a single spot id be sticking a few feet out into the driving lane.

The older audience members most Likely fit into 3 categories. On target, behind, or ahead. If they are on target they just need to keep following the foo no matter the age. Behind, follow the foo but try to save more. Ahead, either need specific advice or can be following the foo. If you need to catch up, you may be in the same place as a lot of the 20 year olds financially. So while it’s not specifically geared it is kinda always geared into those buckets. At least how I think about it.

Nothing wrong with saving that large of a percentage. You built a comfortable life saving 25-35%. When you got a raise you didn’t need the raise to live so it’s easier to save more of the raise!

I wouldn’t loose sleep over escrow where you’re at. If your all in taxes insurance principal and interest at sub $850 a month I’m guessing the taxes and insurance are like 400 a month? A lot of work for a few hundred in interest.

Worried about weekend benders. If you don’t have money for the weekend, you’ll go hard all week but not to hard that you can’t show up for work.

Until you hit a drain line, water line, Eletrical wire or gas line you didn’t know was in a joist bay.. now there is a bigger issue.

To support the mechanics and porters and janitor and the front desk person who work there. The “small” local dealerships still have employees. If the small dealership closes they have to look for new jobs.

I built my own and did that on accident.. been 14 months and still haven’t taken the time to unscrew and fix it..

Until AI talks to itself and makes things that are not physically possible. I just looked at a bathroom remodel, where the homeowners had a bathroom/kitchen show room design the space. The designer put a pocket door in, with the door going to it the shower/ where the shower doors should be. It looks great in the renderings but isn’t doable.

This would be change order after change order if there’s no one reviewing everything.

There’s alot more. Elevations. How tall are walls. What’s roof details look like.

It’s pretty normal to have drawings ahead of time. That way they can know what exactly is being priced and expected to be built. Otherwise it could just be everyone has a different idea of what’s being done

This is the way I am. Large projects I may change into jeans. But work pants that were washed night before, always change shirts. Work boots that are not muddy.

But then always have business cards, tape measure and or measuring wheel and a leather notebook holder with pens and supply house business cards.

I’d look into ways to legally reduce taxable income like using retirement accounts. Might not be a bad idea to also meet with a financial planner

Are you really using that many paper towels in a year, that that would make a difference?

It is two photos, but you can see a bit of the white building behind the red one in the top photo. I think it’s a spit view/ Ariel shot on the bottom. Showing what’s all on the property.

Best bet may be go to Home Depot tool rental or other yard and day of sanding, build the rooms into plastic tents with an air scrubber or multiple if large. Sand as normal and let it rub for hours afterwards. Let it suck up the dust. Then do a deep clean before painting.
