What's funny is from there I could insulate, hang drywall, tape cracks, caulk windows. Etc
Only thing I'd want help with is electrical. I could theoretically do it myself but it would probably be safer to have someone with more experience do it

Material cost would still suck ass though

Absolute junk

Who the fuck is buying these things?

You know what, you could build something sturdier in a fucking favela, I have physically walked in favelas that are built better than these things.

These houses will fall apart within 10 years, the repairs consistently outweigh the profit benefit past that point. Past 20 years they need foundation work done, which is the equivalent of saying "yep im living in this forever"

Not to mention they are always located in hyper overbearing HOAs with faggot Karen breathing down your neck because you forgot to pull your car into the driveway past 1145pm on a Tuesday. You can't add pools you can't add shit. It's barely your property, you are at the bending will of the HOA and you don't actually even really own this property because if you don't listen to the HOA they'll literally take your fucking house.

Oh and you need a car 100% of the time, you can't even walk to the fucking park because this neighborhood was planned with the mindset of 50s white flight retards thinking "boy oh man this design will surely prevent niggers and various niggatry!" When all it does is isolate neighbors from each other and divides the community that actually lives there.

Completely fucking soulless places to live. Where you lose money at every turn. You get fleeced by a group of faggots and trannies who hate your face and say trim the bushes chud or we'll fine you. You have to drive to take a walk and you don't even know your neighbors outside the houses directly around you and maybe not then. And then you have to make dramatic fixes to your cardboard hut which was strung together by the cheapest labor and wood the developers could find.

Are you fucking happy yet?

builders need to grow some balls and start putting cedar siding on the outside, true 2x4 framing and rockwool insulation in the middle, and lathe & plaster for the interior walls and nothing else. That's how my house was built at the end of the 1800s (sans the rockwool) and it's standing strong today.

When link goes to $300 however, my forever home will be built with structural brick atop a stone foundation. And a lead roof. And leaded single pane windows.

Built my own house with basically no prior knowledge except how to use power tools. Wired and plumbed everything myself too, it's easy if you have a few brain cells to rub together, YouTube is a fantastic resource too, people with decades of niche trade expertise sharing detailed how to videos for free. Only thing I didn't do is roof irons because that's shithouse hard work that took a team of a few dudes a day and a half what would take me by myself a week or more and you can make small fuck up that will cause tremendous damage down the line. Also didn't pour and place the pad because thats specialist shit that you can't go back and fix later. Saved probably 200k doing it myself but it's definitely no joke in the amount of work you have to do and how much you have to work your brain.

i'd recommend the shoes too. but it misses the idea.
wheres your ground? is it actually earthed or common?
cant kill you if its tagged out. non-contact voltage wand is gold.

but if you dont know how to discharge or run an earth strap i'd say theres a Darwin award for doing anything more than wiring.

make a flow diagram (signal/current/flow/whatever). its that fucking simple.
you could even flow chart the steps of every electrical job ever

Find the fucking things
Turn the fucking thing off.
Measure and verify the fucking things off
Measure the fucking thing again
Label and lockout the fucking thing
Modify the fucking thing
Measure the fucking thing
Measure this fucking thing again
Label and lockout anything someone might fucking touch in the meantime.
Unlock/tag the fucking power
Turn the fucking thing on
Test both fucking ends
Label box end
Remove user end locks/tags
Label user end
Clean your fucking shit up
Invoice that fucking client
Get in your fucking truck
Go home and be a good fucking family man

Most sparkys who die are well and fully qualified. Seriously just check that you actually turned the thing off. go circuit to circuit. anything with high capacitance or energy storage is always live unless you discharged it yourself just now.
