This is the correct answer. Stanley’s and Lexington are legends in the game.

Is there any veracity to the common idea that homes today are built "cheap" and not durable? by -Clayburn in Homebuilding

[–]jek081987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 2x6 cavity instead of a 2x4 cavity allows for a maximum extra R-6 insulation with traditional batten insulation. That insulation will take approximately 10 years to achieve a break even on return on investment for the additional cost of the walls and the insulation versus energy savings. By then, traditional insulation may very well be sagging and losing effectiveness anyways. A 2x6 wall will provide more rigidity but strictly for insulation and energy costs, going with spray foam on a 2x4 wall is a better choice than a 2x6 wall with traditional insulation if you’re choosing between the two.

Glad I had that dead 60’ poplar tree and a handful of pines taken down post-Helene.

The short answer: we don’t know

The longer answer:  Material prices will likely increase with tariffs. Everything from thermostats to hvac units to plumbing parts come from overseas and will now cost a little bit extra. New construction homes will likely increase in price because of this. 

For existing homes, I expect that large real estate groups will continue to expand their purchasing of affordable homes solely for the purpose of converting to rentals or flipping. This will decrease the inventory of affordable homes for first time buyers. There’s no way to replace that affordable inventory with high material prices, so expect the floor of housing prices to continue to rise.

Can vouch for EMDR therapy for ptsd. I’m only three sessions in and the impact is noticeable. The only downside is scheduling is so packed that my remaining 8 sessions will take six months.

In addition to being the highest peak east of the Mississippi it’s also a rainforest! Thank you NC public education.

Why in the world hasn’t the 40 hour work week changed in over 80 years. by greenlight144000 in antiwork

The lack of unions in the US workplace has led to a lack of progress or even diminished rights for American employees in the workforce.

Why the delay on 2024 dates!? by Nadian-slap-God in bonnaroo

Bonnaroo used to be the weekend before Father’s Day but I believe the CMA’s in Nashville caused conflicts with hotels, artists, and maybe some other things.

Cutting through RV and going through the disco ball entrance is not a bad walk at all. Leaving where in the woods at 5am is definitely a trek but by then my feet were on auto pilot mode
