RE: If I ware a Bank.... Real-estate Flippers....
Thank GOD you are NOT the bank - we do not need more regulation in the real estate industry - just more common sense. Sounds to me like a shoddy contractor who did poor work - if we went by your logic - we would outlaw restaurants because a chef served a bad meal. It's all a matter of who you work with - making someone live in a house for 5 years before selling it would kill the real estate market , decentivize investments , and hurt consumers - not all contractors are bad and neither are all flippers - sounds like you got a bad deal - even though it's frustrating - your real estate agent should have made sure that you had a home warranty to cover defects like that. I hope everything else works out OK for you -
Well, maybe there could be a system to keep track of those that do good and those just out to rip people off. As I said, I don't know the answer, but some kind of accountability needs to be in place. at least the food doesn't cause bodily injury or broken limbs when it's bad, though now that I think of it... LOL those biscuits in the army...
I also kinda wrote this when I came in this morning, after ripping out planks and plywood and joists...
I was kinda pissed off. Still am a little. You know, I kinda love this sawsall
nothing like some good old fashioned demolition work out that frustration...I'm a flipper and last house we did , I got caught up with a really bad contractor that did piss poor work ... luckily , another contractor caught on to some of the stuff we couldn't see behind the walls and when we opened it up , we realized the extent to which this contractor and his lackies had screwed things up - almost ALL of his labor had to be redone...so I know first hand how easy it is to get screwed by contractors - here's a quick to way resolve similar issues - although I am still opposed to it because it represents more regulation and added costs ..buuuuuuuuut.... they could say that if you only purchased the house within 3 years - then you need to pay for a 1 year home warranty for the buyer ... now if there are any issues - it will be covered.
I honestly think that would be suitable. Finished the teardown :) Tomorrow we build!
BlueHawke Nailer for the win!!! Love this thing. three inch galvanized ringshank nails in one shot! love it. I used to drive nails by hand, but I bought this thing and man do I love it! It came with a palm nailer to drive loose ones, and I love that thing too :)
I've often considered getting something like that but never pulled the trigger (no pun intended) as I'm not sure I would get that much use out of it. even though I use the heck out of my hammers....have a pressurized staple gun that works real nice and came in handy for installing a bunch of T1-11 but that was more of a one off project -
Once you get the hang of using them, work goes so much faster. With my vision, I've smashed a lot of thumbs. They aren't without their down sides if you try to get into small spaces with them, but for general framing they kick butt. I'll always have a use for my hammers, but the framing nailer is an awesome tool. When used right, it can greatly improve accuracy and finish of your projects.
