When I build, I'm gonna do my best to build something that can last 100+ years. It's not really worth it, otherwise.

It takes a pride of workmanship to have that mindset. Buildings are our legacy for future generations...
Not their fixer upper project.
My hats off to ya!
The other part of it is that I'm lazy and don't want to have to be constantly fixing things. I grew up in an old house. I see other family members living in houses that have required too much effort to make them decently comfy. I'm much, much too lazy for that. I want to put the effort in up front and then not have to worry about things.
Not sure that's lazy...
More like when you work on something, you want to be one and done.
That is me too.
This link was sent to me when I was having this discussion with another party a few months ago. It's definitely figuring into my plans.
