🏡 TIP: Use Deck Tape on your joists. Here’s why:

Even if you’re going with a composite deck, the frame underneath is still wood and that’s what ends up rotting if it’s not protected.

Deck Tape:
✅ Waterproofs the top of the joists
✅ Seals around fasteners to block moisture
✅ Helps prevent rot and premature failure
✅ Extends the life of your entire deck frame

You can use traditional tape or a roll-on liquid (half the price). Either one does the job just don’t skip it.

Wall niches in a new build… 👍 or 👎?

They can look sharp and be a perfect spot to display something cool but if you don’t plan ahead, it’s just a dust collector.

👉 TIP:
✅ Frame it early
✅ Add an arch if that’s your style
✅ And run wiring if you want it lit (you won’t be fishing wire later through drywall)

So... Are they worth the detail or better to keep it clean and skip?

Curious what you’d do 👇

Does giving the Contractors food and beer (at the end of the day) actually help, or just get in the way of the work?

It’s not required, but I think stuff like this goes a long way.
Seems like the right thing to do and shows appreciation to those who are building your house.

Just got word... this Home Plans App is LIVE 🤩

You can view house plans in 3D and change the material and colors of everything in sight. Such a game changer.

They have 15 plans available but said they're adding more every month.
They have free versions to mess around with and the paid is only $10/mo.

Worth a look if you're in the "Picking a Plan" stage.

Drop the plan you’re considering in the comments. Maybe we can sweet talk them into adding it on the next update 👀

👉 Search "Dream Book 3D" in the App Store to download.

🤔 Bad idea...? Would you put a Central Vacuum in a newly built house...?

What’s the first thing that comes to mind…?
 
Mine would be when the house is finished framing. You can really start to picture how it’s all going to look. Imagine yourself walking through the house. Kids are pumped because they can see their room. Such an awesome time!
 
If you want to get started thinking about and choosing selections.
