I’m happiest making things or when I am helping others. My two favorite outlets for that are, my remodeling business and volunteer firefighting.

Did finding facts that way mean less facts but better learned? I think my net number of learned facts remains the same but i look up an awful lot more.

Asked a mason once what vitrified means. Seeing “VB&T” (vitrified brick and tile) stamped on paving bricks. He didn’t know. You probably do, but to save a search it’s essentially oven fired in the years since I’ve never seen vitrified called out in a spec or drawing. So much to learn about bricks.

I think it’s a fad driven by stupid influences. it’s much cheaper to just throw up some shelves, than cabinet doors. So just like how open floorplans were driven by HGTV types to get better camera angles open shelving was driven as a way to avoid the cost of legitimate cabinets.

Agree. Of all the analysis this one makes the most sense.
