Thomas Woods+FollowNo way would I accept this as my house foundation 😠Just saw this photo online, looks like someone ran out of the right-sized blocks and decided to wing it. This is absolutely not okay. If this was done by a contractor, the homeowner needs to drop them immediately and find someone who actually knows what they're doing. I’m not an inspector, but this looks far from safe. It’s the foundation!! you don’t cut corners here. #HomeSafety #Foundation #Construction #HomeBuilding #Home 2012Share

Timothy Bird+FollowAre UK Homebuilders Skipping Nature Duty?Here’s the tea: UK homebuilders might soon get a free pass to skip replacing nature when building new homes, thanks to a proposed rule change. If this goes through, most new builds could bulldoze green spaces without planting anything back. That’s a big deal for wildlife and anyone who loves a walk in the park. The drama? Developers could self-declare their projects as exempt, and critics say this loophole is being used way too much. If you want to help, even planting a few wildflowers at home makes a difference! #Business #Homebuilding #NatureMatters20Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowWould You Pay $2M for an Empty Lot?Imagine dropping nearly $2 million on... an empty patch of dirt! That’s what’s up in Pacific Palisades, where a vacant lot just got a price cut after months with no takers. The land used to have a house, so building your dream home could be a bit easier. The twist? No ocean view and no blueprints included. LA’s luxury land market is cooling off, so if you’ve ever dreamed of building in a fancy zip code, now’s your chance to watch the market for deals! #RealEstate #PacificPalisades #HomeBuilding10Share
russellolson+FollowWhy Your New House Takes ForeverEver wonder why building a new home seems to take ages—and costs a fortune? Turns out, it’s not just red tape. Home builders say there just aren’t enough skilled workers, and recent deportations have made it even harder to find folks who know their way around a paintbrush or drywall. The real hack? If you’re looking for a solid career, learning a trade could mean big bucks—no college degree required! #HomeBuilding #SkilledTrades #MoneyHacks #RealEstate40Share
johnsonkristin+Followunderstanding roof structures made easyEver wondered how roof structures work? Let's break it down! Gable roofs mainly transfer weight to the side walls, while hip roofs distribute it across all exterior walls. By observing the roof's shape, you can determine the framing direction and identify load-bearing walls. Handy, right? #RoofingBasics #HomeBuilding #Construction10100Share
Thomas Clark+FollowThis unbelievably bad joist work has me baffled 😂Stumbled across this joist work on a forum. Come on, I love Swiss cheese, but absolutely not in my framing members! Yikes. It genuinely baffles me how some people seem so completely clueless about how beams and structural integrity actually work. Have you seen worse?! #ConstructionFails #Framing #StructuralIntegrity #Woodworking #HomeBuilding #AskTheExperts #BuildingMistakes #DIYHome 1016Share
