One recurring theme is dealing with unpredictable weather. Heavy rain and wet ground complicate work, preventing tasks like weed-eating and precise trimming. The builder mentions the importance of patience and flexibility when Gopro batteries die or tools malfunction, such as a roller breaking mid-project—a common frustration with cheap tools and materials.
He also discusses the quality of construction materials, lamenting the quality decline of lumber from local stores. Instead of high-grade wood, he often has to settle for lower-quality, bulk-sourced lumber, which affects finishing work and longevity. This introduces a broader commentary on supply chains and the impact on small-town builders who can't easily access premium materials.
