We built a MASSIVE Deck for our Family

College boys are disgusting 🫣

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you kindly!

Thank you. Yeah, that screw nail combo is a nightmare.

Thank you so very much. I will be a master of all things one day, but I'll never stop learning and trying.

@@FnAVanLife Well look, there's a difference between taking all these things up as hobbies to do for one's self and family and some friends versus mastering as a profession. To be competitive on bidding it's a matter of focusing on getting fast at cranking out a rather narrow range of things. That's the mastery aspect. From estimating a job, pricing and scheduling materials, timing the start and finish, to cranking it out quickly, good enough, without dwelling on perfecting or being overly artistic. Now when you're doing things for yourself and family you can afford to take time and spend extra to be more perfectionist and artistic. And you can delve into a much wider range of disciplines which you may never be fast at but enjoy doing. And you get to think through all the various aspects of the overall thing so you can plan all the systems coherently. It's common to see in custom homes where the plumbers, electricians, and HVAC installers all had to work around each other. In developments with model homes to choose from there's a high level design of where the pipes, wires, and ducts are all planned to go in advance which makes it more cohesive. When you can do this for a custom home, it's a big advantage. Designing and building custom homes is a few levels past refurbishing a deck of course but it's a good start and a skill in need in which one can earn a good living. Be prepared for some bureaucratic red tape. The big companies are busy trying to convince governments to pass restrictions and requirements, the excuse for which is safety but the reality is to limit entries to the field so they can monopolize it. Of course they'll never say that part out loud... It's safety... Do it for the children... Etc. They're gonna want you to pull permits, get govt employees to come out and critique your work at various stages before allowing you to continue, and of course charging you for the privilege of being subjected to their whims. You can work with them though since you have no choice but it's an additional cost to you that to be profitable you'll have to pass on to your customers. And you'd better be licensed, bonded, and insured before venturing into the general public. There's no end to the "nice people" who'd love to empty your pockets to fill theirs. And those who think hiring you for one job means they merit your undivided attention for the future. Beware. Use carefully written legal contracts approved by your lawyer outlining every last thing. It only seems excessive until you get served and have to defend yourself. Harsh reality. But don't let it stop you. It's just part and parcel of doing business in the first world where the tactics of screwing other people over are highly refined. Cheers!

Thank you so much Lisa. I'm only gonna get better too.
