Build vs Buy?

Sheathing?

I thought the entire world had gone to OSB. Is plywood typically used in SoWal?

Sheathing! That's it! I looked it up in the dictionary. Sheathing to me means the sheath/sheat/(sheet) material on the home, be it osb or plywood.

So if sheathing is the material, is sheating the action, or am I sheathing with sheathing? Ah...who cares.

Sheathing it is. Now if we can get the word out that homes in this area don't have footers we can make some progress with our word of the day.

On the gun nail subject versus hand drives. I believe an 8d Common always has the same diameter whether it's a gun nail or hand drive. Check it out.

No footers? Why?

Look it up in the dictionary and you'll know how ignorant it sounds when the know it all's make their pronouncements. You might compare it to footings.

Since we're on the subject, can we stop calling 3000+ sq ft homes beach cottages?

You cover framing w/ plywood sheets/sheeting/sheathing.

Footers and footings are both commonly used terms and vary by region.

Excessive amounts of drywall mud all over the house denotes sloppy/wasteful work. Drywalling is a messy process, but someone who makes a huge mess AND doesn't clean up after they're done - probably does as good of a job on their application as their clean-up.

Nail guns are faster than a hammer. The physical properties of the nail remain the same.

And building costs go up when you waste materials and spend time arguing semantics.

I received a private message yesterday from someone who obviously wants Davis and Dunn hurt as bad as possible. Maybe Davis and Dunn deserve it, I don't know.

What I do know is that I hope the video from Youtube has been forwarded to Davis and Dunn first. Sending it out to anyone they are contemplating a business relationship with behind their back is Tortious in the State of Florida.

Transparency begets solutions. There's no telling what might happen if you try this backroom nonsense on the wrong person.

If you're looking for a great deal on construction I might recommend CJB, Construction. The partners in the firm just sold a home in Watersound for about $930,000. That's + or - 300 per foot including the land. Best I can tell they must charge just under 200 per foot in Watersound. They are approved builders in Watersound and Watercolor.

Maybe this will help put an end to the old school builders who charged 230 and up to all those absentee owners who were like fish in a barrel for so long.

More proof that it can be done. Today CJB and their partners closed on two more home sales in Watersound. Each at about $100 per ft for the home after the cost of the lot. Nice homes at great pricing. Either it's possible to build and deliver quality at a great price or it's not. What more proof does the old school need? Congrats.

Check who the buyer was and it might shed some light on the price.
