To dig yourself out of a hole, you must be willing to have dirt splashed on your face.

A drawing index imported from AutoCAD on a Revit sheet. I had heard of others sighting this gnarly beast and had my first experience today. Quite the cretin.

Someone asked my availability, and Outlook gave me these quick-respond options.

All of them are terrible. Yet they are there because they are the most expected responses.

A strict schedule precludes much chaos and frustration.

@CliftonHarness Some over-zealous drivers need to calm down based on the rear-end collisions happening in the center.

Surgically removed my lawn mower's oil filter due to it being screwed on as if by the Hulk. The manufacturer attached it.

Written on the filter:
"Hand tighten only."

Let's not bury our heads in the sand about these creeping issues which illustrate a disconnect between the good of homeowners and the tightening climate-change-control agenda of big government. Let's start addressing them.

[Christopher Hanson @redrunner92]

Energy codes are causing potential homeowners slowly but surely lose real estate and the ability to afford construction projects. Requiring more insulation in walls, thereby increasing their thickness, steadily is shrinking the useable space in houses. This is not good. 🧵

[Christopher Hanson @redrunner92]

And my second suggestion:
Regarding ADU sizes, calculate the area starting at the interior face of the wall structure (i.e., wood studs) rather than the exterior face or, heaven forbid, the outside of siding. Again, those brick walls really hurt without this allowance.

@TheRevitKid I'm eager to hear what you have to say, having also been through the experience of wearing both hats just recently!
