Why Your Dream Home Costs More Now

Ever wonder why new homes are getting pricier? Turns out, cities building the most houses—like Dallas and Miami—rely big time on immigrant workers. With stricter immigration rules, there just aren’t enough hands on deck, which means slower builds and higher prices. If you’re house hunting or planning a remodel, brace yourself: labor shortages could mean paying more and waiting longer for those keys. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #Construction

When it comes to long screws, what head type are you actually picking?

I’m looking at some long framing screws and realizing how much I hate Phillips for anything over three inches. It cams out constantly and just ruins the day. I’ve been leaning heavily into Torx lately because the grip is so much more reliable #Tools #Woodworking #Torx #Construction #DIY

A new 10 acre mixed development near MB Stadium is coming to Atlanta, called "The Forge". Condos, hotel and retail. Expected to break ground in 2026. #ConstructionNews #Construction #AtlantaRealEstate #MidtownAtlanta #Atlanta

When Someone Borrowed My Bobcat. This Is My Week Now.

I'm a little frustrated right now. I have an employee whose uncle has a bunch of land and we had just finished a job dumping about thirty yards of dirt there. They asked if they could borrow my loader to spread it out. They did that just fine. But then they decided to use the loader for some other work they wanted done without asking. And now it is completely stuck in the mud. So now a huge part of my week is completely screwed. I just needed to vent about this. 😓 #WorkStories #Construction #Bobcat #FunnyStories #Lending #MistakesWereMade #HelpNeeded
