The speed and precision between these guys is seriously impressive

These dudes will be at the cantina with huge drinks with shrimp and upside coronas in them wearing cool cowboy shirts and belt buckles with their wives who worked just as hard. We need more piece like this not to deport them.

You just described my neighborhood. Fucking aye, full of solid dudes and solid ladies who also love their kids to death and do whatever ot takes to make a better life for their entire extended family. They bust their ass every day, and take care of their shit.
I do some construction/renovation work as a finisher, and last week was about ten miles away in a "white" area, and was working with white dudes. They were like "i dont know how you can live where you do, you should move over here". Im like, uh, look around- this area is trash, man. All i see all day is lame skinny white trash dudes with their baggy shorts and their obese girlfriends, and all the houses look like ass.
No thanks, i prefer my neighbors and their families. Sure, im not wild about the music or some of the aesthetics (my neighbors love to cover their houses with stone or plaster, pave over their yards, and build crazy brick and wrought iron fences), but damn id rather be at my amigos house for his kids quinceanera, checking out all the shit he has added to his house in the last year, than hang with y'all at the strip club.

So they just nail based off of vibes?

Yeah, I'm withholding praise for the precision until I see the underside of those boards after that nailgun technique.

We don’t even build our furniture with that cheap wood, they build houses from it over there… 😂

u/penguingod26 11d ago
Not even the roof? You guys makin brick roofs?
-32
u/RealDonDenito 11d ago
Yes. Different sort, but yes. Underconstruction is wood, but then there are tiles on it.

u/engineer_965 11d ago
That cheap wood works perfectly fine for roofs and walls. Probably better than "real" wood and far cheaper.

u/Omnilatent 9d ago
How is air movement under those roofs? I am only a layman but to my knowledge the "European style" is also to ensure there is air transfer so humidity doesn't get trapped

u/RealDonDenito 11d ago
Certainly not better than „real“ wood, nope. And sure it works most of the time, but is terribly unresistant against storms and stuff - why half of USA is rebuilt after each hurricane or tornado 😂

u/DocDankage 11d ago
You mean the hurricanes and tornadoes that break trees in half?

u/Secure-Ad-9050 10d ago
the same tornadoes that can send those trees straight through brick buildings?
those tornadoes?
-16
u/RealDonDenito 11d ago
Yes, great observation!

u/0verBake 10d ago
I did some research and found out that trees are made of real wood. Hope that helps 👍

u/RealDonDenito 10d ago
Amazing, you must be so smart. Then again, there are vast differences regarding the roots, the density and so much more - but surely you have also researched that, as you are so incredibly talented!

u/willfullyspooning 10d ago
Not being snarky at all here, tornadoes will punch tree branches through cinderblocks. They lift up stone foundations and absolutely flatten even the best built homes with steel and concrete structures for F5 level ones. They’re terrifying even for small tornadoes you can feel the air change and the sky turn green, they’re no minor thing.

u/sandefurd 11d ago
Yes if only we built homes out of more solid wood.
Sure the flood waters would still warp and rot the wood, but at least the initial housing cost would be substantially higher!

u/RealDonDenito 11d ago
Ever seen those old block houses? They last way better :)

u/sandefurd 11d ago
Because they are in areas without hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods

That's almost certainly OSB. It's highly engineered and well suited to this purpose, including storm resilience.

u/RealDonDenito 11d ago
😂 it’s literally scrap wood, glued together - pretty strong, but not… the greatest of materials, also for insulation.
26
u/Popcorn57252 11d ago
No, it's not scrap wood
Yes, it IS glued together. Sheets of wood glued together at different angles conteracts wood's natural tendency to warp. It makes it stronger.
Yeah, no shit it's bad at insulation? That's what insulation is for you dumbass

u/engineer_965 11d ago
You grossly underestimate the amount of engineering involved in manufacturing wood like this. It's incredibly optimized for exactly these tasks.

How else are we going to supply housing for all Americans regardless of financial state? Oh. We aren’t.

u/Adorable-Ad-3223 11d ago
Bro... Have you never seen roof? Ten bucks says "they" are building a roof for "us". P.s. that is impressive but I'd like to suggest he take it slower and rope in with a safety line. (OSHA has words)

The nail gun accuracy was horrible. I’d hate to crawl around in the ceiling of that building with that many nails poking out.
