They be doing some of the same type sit with these new Hotels and Apartments, we were wiring up a hotel in VA Beach and saw they put one inch Styrofoam around the building formed it up to look like brick and put this paint on top of that harden up to make it feel and look like bricks.
Capitalism baby.
The homes built in the last 20 years to me are garbage. Mothafuckas have $20000 kitchens with $10 walls.
Looks like contractors need
they asses whipped!

When my houses were being built, we came thru day near everyday. When my last house was being constructed, I had my patna come thru and seal up all my duct work while it was exposed so I can ensure no leaks at the seams. Plus I actually paid for my own inspector and gave to the report to the building manager and had them fix just a few things. We bought a richmond american home so they were pretty thorough...
You niggas better learn how to chop some trees in this bitch
Yeah, my homegirl bought a house recently in Port Saint Lucie and she was complaining how the roof looked cheap compared to the old houses being more sturdier. These new homes are cheaply made but cost an arm and leg.
Any rain hits and it's a problem, they gonna eat off them repairs too.

Repairs? They’re going to have to rebuild.
That shit on the right looks like the insulation panels that they put over the 4x8 plywood sheets.... TYVEK.... it's used everywhere to prevent heat loss in the home..... wtf is he talking about ?Looks like contractors need

Tyvek is a brand of flashspun high-density polyethylene fibers, a synthetic material; the name is a registered trademark of the DuPont company, known for their production of chemicals and textiles.
A non-woven, breathable structure that stands apart from other types of house wraps, Tyvek® HomeWrap® promotes drying in wall systems and helps insulation perform closer to its R-value.

With the logistics backlog and supply chain slowdown, homebuilders are pretty much cutting corners. I used to work for a big homebuilder but they were building $600K homes in Southern Maryland. From what I saw the quality of the materials was decent but that was almost 18 years ago. In comparison my folks had a second home and it was built by a smaller company but when you walked in, the first thing you felt was that this is a solid house.
I have seen a lot of apartments being built with that styrofoam stuff and I just
The place I live in was built in 1968 but I don't hear everything my neighbors do. Things were built better back then probably because the materials (except copper) were cheaper also.

What was that device he had in the first vid? Seems like an interesting piece of tech to have
looked like some sort of TIC .... Thermal Imaging Camera..... I think it was picking up the heat from the hot water coming out of the dishwasher... this is the most similar one that I could find...

My house was built in 1947. Its
a brick colonial house and it was
very solidly built. Back then, they
built shit the right way!! The shit
they build these houses with now
is a giant joke. I love my house.

That was an infrared thermal camera. You can buy a dedicated device like that or you can get a phone with the functionality built in. I have it on my phone. There are also add ons you can put on your existing phone.
Thanks to light bright and yureeka for that feedback and info

My whole block when I moved here where brick houses, over the last five years six of theses house were sold and torn down to build new these new homes. Four have had a kinds of issues and one has had so many issues that it has had three owners and has been vacant almost a year now. The only reason the one next door to me has had no issues is cause the owner was here every other day plus he is a home inspector. He has told me a couple oh times newer homes biggest issues are fucked up foundations and cheap materials.
Yep these modern homes are hot garbage. You see how quick they go up!?!?
You can get a new home in 3-6 months.
An older city like Philly have homes/communities built over decades. I love a brick home from the 1920s. Even the brick homes from 1970 pale in comparison to the ones built generations ago.
Baltimore has a great stock of homes that were built well.
remodel
don't have em build it from the ground up right now
the materials aren't available

They build these houses from ground up in a month….of course they are shyt….
The problem meals they are using very cheap material this is why tornadoes destroy new houses when it comes through.
You have to remember that the idea that everyone should own a home is relatively recent and very American concept. If you have a home from the early 20th century or even before, the families that originally owned your houses had $$$. People without too much money built their own or even ordered them from a catalog like Sears and built it using the kit from Sears.
Cacs at that time didn't like the idea of "uppity Blacks" being able to buy whatever they wanted in the catalog as opposed to their local shops where they could price gouge and refuse to sell etc. so they organized Sears catalog burnings. This is one of the reasons it is so sad to see Our families lose family homes over dumb shit like back taxes.
'47 and '50 could be homes fueled by the baby boom post World War II and GI Bill benefits. Those homes will be very well built but that whole "plan" was so obviously made to accommodate racist cacs. There were something like 67,000 mortgages insured by the G.I. Bill in NYC/NJ, but fewer than 100 went to non-cacs.
Yep a cac owned it first
