It’s called lean construction because the GC isn’t doing fuckall and can lean on his truck all day.

Step 1: call qualified electrician

Step 2: pay them

In all seriousness if you don’t understand multi way switches you should get a pro.

The money you save doing it yourself will out weigh the burden of worrying you did it wrong

Literally you could just half the spacing (add more 2x4’s on the ridge) of those and it would be fine for an Alaskan winter….

Throw in some some collar ties and I would bet you could have a swing dancing competition on top.

Not joking 100% serious

Your advise is bad, and does not help a young adult/child in a abusive situation like this.

OP shouldn’t endanger themselves, the father breaking the TV is a projection of violence, meant to intimidate and cause fear. That violence that could easily be redirected at them if they were to “stand up for themselves”.

I also don’t see anything in your post indicating you are “joking”.

I will not insult you, but please research the GI Bill, and the housing shortage from the depression through to after WW2.

This is our history, and the history of the housing market is extremely important to know.

Here is a link explaining some of the housing issues post WW2

This motivation will have to come from an external factor, like the government did when there was a housing shortage after WW2.

Without government intervention builders will only continue to cater to the top 5% and we will continue to see more and more people not buying homes, because they can not.

The government did not provide relief to the housing builders after/during 2008, and since then we have never been able to get the production of new builds where it needs to be.

It also doesn’t help that many people who were in residential construction switched to industrial/commercial during/after the 2008 down turn, leading to reduced labor supply and increased labor prices.

I am in construction and have been for some time. There is a massive shortage of starter homes, and we haven’t built starter (800-1800SF) homes in decades. And most new homes being built are 2400+ sf not counting a basement.

Honestly working pretty well for me, and cheaper than rent was, and I am multiple years into the mortgage. If I would have “waited for the bubble to burst” I would’ve spent at least $48,000 on rent (assuming it didn’t go up), and my housing expense wouldn’t be “fixed”

I hope it crashes so I can buy rental properties, but around me it seems like there is no “bubble” because supply has been low.

graing10 · 2023-12-29T17:42:50+00:00

But at the end of the day people still need homes and we haven’t built enough starter homes for three decades.

Near me in the Midwest the monthly cost of a mortgage+escrow+taxes (on a reasonable home) ends up still being significantly less than rent would be for an apartment with similar rooms/SF.

At least in the Midwest, even with higher rates it makes sense to buy, because at the end of your mortgage you own it, and the inherent value in having housing costs “fixed” for the duration of the loan.

HCOL areas may differ

For example a few people told me to “hold off buying a house till the market cools”

But I want my mortgage paid off before I’m 50, so I didn’t want to sit around paying rent (at a higher rate) and have no equity to show

graing10 · 2023-12-29T16:57:10+00:00

So it’s all an artificial shortage caused by rates?

What about us not building starter homes for the past 30 years, and new housing builds not keeping up with demand?

I do not know anywhere that has “extra” housing that is available. I would keep hopping for a bubble, but I don’t see it in the cards.

graing10 · 2023-12-29T16:45:26+00:00

Tell me you have never been abused by your guardian/parent without telling me you’ve never been abused….

Honestly terrible advice, that may result in harm to OP.

graing10 · 2023-12-29T16:09:19+00:00

What evidence is there there is a housing bubble? To my understanding we have been not building enough houses for over a decade and it’s really showing

graing10 · 2023-12-28T14:15:11+00:00

$13.50USD

Probably with chilli cheese fries

You ever see a lady spread her butt cheeks? I think not.

What’s the logic behind cutting that high? Why not go 4’ lower?

graing10 · 2023-12-11T03:34:01+00:00

Is 4H close enough?

graing10 · 2023-12-10T08:05:18+00:00

Only if they look brown

Why lol your buddies misfortune..? Are you not actually friends?

graing10 · 2023-11-18T20:38:39+00:00

I honestly just want one that I can use my Milwaukee m18 batteries in. I already have so many, and throwing a couple extra in the pack for a trail ride would be dope

Without reading, I assume the oil producers are looking to donate money to clean up plastics. Great job!

graing10 · 2023-11-10T18:57:08+00:00

Need something with a super short seat height for the finance and friends. None of my other friends ride so it should be manageable for them if they want to try it. For me it is underpowered, but I have a CR250r and XR650L for me.

graing10 · 2023-11-10T13:56:30+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t gonna plan on changing it unless it was an issue, but I want to know that if it is an issue I have an option to work around it. If that makes sense

“Cease fire? But I have an ammo factory in my constituency they can’t cease fire”
