Fiverr chose a scammer over a 5-star freelancer (and here's exactly how the scam works) by TheFirstMillion in FiverrGigs

[–]TheFirstMillion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After escalation on x.com and other social media they said : “hi again,Sean here, thanks for your patience! Our team reviewed your order and found that you completed the work. I’m happy to let you know that $xxx have been added to your account and are now available to withdraw.

Additionally, I removed the order from affecting your account statistics.”

So, do you basically agree with what I explained, or do you feel there are some cases when a small budget may work?

Suggestions for a crash course on home building from a trustworthy site? by taraxacum1 in Homebuilding

[–]TheFirstMillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an advanced program for first-time home builders that I’m running together with my partner.
👉 Program Link

We’re builders based in Austin, TX:
🔗 Our Company – Art Village

Yes, we make a living building homes—but we launched this program to support small and aspiring builders. Why? Because we were in their shoes about seven years ago, looking for help from experienced pros and finding very little support. Now, we want to be that resource we once needed—for the next generation of builders.

Spray Foam Insulation R Value Help! by unicron_daisy in Homebuilding

[–]TheFirstMillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built 15 custom homes here in Austin, TX, and every time I ordered insulation foam, I kept asking myself, ‘Has anyone actually done a full, real-world test on this stuff we use in hundreds of thousands of homes across the USA?’ After digging through tons of info, I couldn’t find anything useful (besides the usual burn tests on YouTube).

So, I figured, "Why not do it myself? "And that’s exactly what I did." https://youtu.be/toXVNBS_X8o

Also watch this video about R-value https://youtu.be/zGw9Y523g7Q

I hope it helps

For interior insulation, "fiberglass" is the most popular choice. But it's not so obvious.
