This was years back when we were taking any job we could get to make ends meet. Even in hard times we always had fun. If you can’t laugh at each other why even work together. 🤪

The pavers are installed in the shed. Now it’s onto the storage space under the deck. Good bye mud.

Roof and floor trusses for the win on this Nashville, TN infill build. Have you ever used trusses on your build?

[Home Builder Tanner Alexander @TannerBuilds]

These guys build high end custom homes near me in Charlotte and they just kill it every time. What do you think of this home?

[Adam Van Buskirk @AHVanBuskirk]

I see much debate about "labor shortage."

The way it actually works is that labor shortage results in entire *types* of activity halting almost entirely as labor costs rise.

For instance, the elaborate home interiors of the pre-war period represent a level of labor supply that simply does not exist anymore, and this production will not return under tight labor conditions.

Same reason that hand woven rugs are not produced on any scale in the USA or Germany.

As time goes on, more and more high labor activities become untenable and simply cease. This often occurs under the guise of fashion, but the fashion for lower labor methods is often driven by cost.

So today, other than the fabulously rich, the only way to obtain a high labor interior is to do it yourself in your leisure time, import it in pieces from a country with high labor supply, or to buy a relic that was constructed in the USA during a time of much higher labor supply, when this type of work was more widely available.

I get messages all the time asking how I renovate apartments for so cheap.

There are a few answers to that.

I don’t go to Lowe’s/Home Depot and buy everything for retail. I source material from all different places.

I do go to Lowe’s for a decent amount of items but I have a very large Pro-Account with a personal rep to get deep discounts on cabinets, appliances and other misc items.

I work with a lot of smaller shops that do a decent amount of business but do not have a lot of overhead. I place large orders with them to get the low cost even lower.

Here are some pictures of one of them.

A single, hole in the wall place. Doesn’t market or advertise, owned by a Bosnian guy who is great to work with. This is where I get flooring, doors, trim and other items.
*Shoutout to Dan on here for the intro!

I have another Bosnian guy that does all of my granite/sink installs, small two man shop.

The contractors I work with, I keep very busy so they do not need other clients because I give them apartment after apartment to renovate and therefore I get a great price because of the steady work.

This stuff didn’t happen overnight.

Years of trial and error, finding the right guys after going through with the wrong ones.

[Thom Coghlan @Thomcoghlan]

Full Zip system on this West Nashville custom build.

Have you used it before? Did your framer charge more for the tape and rolling? How did it perform vs a normal WRB/house wrap?

[Brad Smith @bradsmith]

People look at me in shock that I moved from St Pete FL to Wilmington NC.

This is why we moved here. If you’ve never been here, you must come check it out.
