So my dad built the house I grew up in and it was a pretty big multistory like 2500 sq ft whatever and like. My dad was a fuckin diemaker. All of his friends were diemakers or mechanics or the occasional carpenter. He did not. Hire an architect to design the house. I know he didn’t bc he’s got blueprints lying around in a closet somewhere and he was the one that made them. His construction crew was him and some friends and he paid them mostly in weed. Like HOW is that house still standing 20yrs later?? How did he build such a nice house with his little band of stoners I am baffled.
