     @deprecated_ii he's not wrong. I know a guy who told me he looked at homebuilders, saw how poor quality they are compared to commercial or old homes, and said yeah go buy an old home.

     @PhenomX6 the build quality is bad but how are they not using a "masonry foundation" and "dimensional lumber joists"
     
     there has to be some replacement for those very basic things

     @deprecated_ii they have engineered joists it seems instead of 2x10s.

     @PhenomX6 hmm hope they used good glue in the OSB web
     
     it's way less resistant to water damage than solid wood too

     @KarlDahl @deprecated_ii it looks like the same wood you see in old arcade machines that swells up when it touches water

     @deprecated_ii @PhenomX6 In a lab setting the math is perfect bro
     
     Also never modify them or cut in a skylight later or you're fucked

     @PereAvaitRaison @KarlDahl @sickburnbro @PhenomX6 how much time does HGTV spend talking about construction quality vs open floor plans and the latest tile backsplash fad

     @sickburnbro @deprecated_ii @PhenomX6 After careful consideration I'm confident that this guy has only spoken with a limited set of builders, either because of availability in his area, limited budget, or a lack of knowledge - or all three
     
     You can find people who will build you whatever you want, if you pay out the ass
     
     If he really wants what he says he wants he can find an architect who will design it and then he can be his own GC. If people refuse to build with certain materials he should ask why. For example, I don't see why he'd want a masonry foundation
     
     Get ready to spend 3-4x the average psf

     @KarlDahl @sickburnbro @deprecated_ii @PhenomX6 Have often said this to the wife: there should be an active market for quality materials 1800-2000 sq ft. houses.
     
     But there isn't.
     
     And at least part of that comes down to the bad taste and climber/striver ambitions of your average upper-middle class university trained shitlib. Not all comes down to that, but at least a part.
     
     They would rather have a 2500 sq ft. house made of shit materials, so that's what goes.

     I'm sure the guy I know who was into commercial buildings could build a residential building to that code if he wanted to. Namely, he loved how commercial buildings have to be built to a stricter code which also means that trade people like him can actually do repairs and whatnot easier (and they last longer).

     @PhenomX6 @deprecated_ii @sickburnbro Unironically have pegged a commercial builder we known in my wife's home town, will strike with a residential build request when the iron is hot
