We had trusses long before gang nails, and arguably better ones. Loose gang plates are a common defect, when have you ever seen a plywood gusset come off? What changed was computer truss design. If you could enter the shape, the computer could create a truss. No actual skill required. Now anyone could design anything, and they did.

Generic replacement. Right specs, wrong mounts. Zip ties are the professional version of duct tape.

I recommend replacement, then ask if I can have it. I have an outbuilding that needs a panel and I wouldn't mind if it burned down.

Yes, they're stupid. They cost five times as much as a gas water heater, and three times a conventional electric one. They only work under ideal conditions, and conditions are never ideal, so they are wildly inefficient. Albany's reckless energy policies are incentivizing heat pumps as the technology of our all electric future. Our mechanical code requires resistance heat backup for every heat pump installation because they don't work in our severe climate. Total cost of ownership, I'll stick with the gas heater. Even factoring for a six year service life, it's more hot water, faster, for a fraction of the price.

Hire an electrician.

It's not the framing that's moving. You most likely have mesh taped seams. They always crack.

AI isn't artificial intelligence, it's open source intelligence. It sucks because none of us are as dumb as all of us.

It will be less labor intensive to remove and replace the window.

Not America. We only make hamburgers here.

Godammit! Now I'm going to have to build one.

You run a ground wire from the terminal on the receptacle to a green bonding screw in one of the holes in the back of the box. Not from Chicago.😎

Yes, I'm going. If the spot was yours I have pretty big shoes to fill.

I know a little about almost everything. Just ask me.

I use fat cow. It's dirt cheap. $19/year for domain rent, $120/year for hosting, email server, and WordPress. Near zero customer service, but I get what I paid for.
