Ask Justin what he picked to make this house last and he doesn't start with the kitchen.
He starts with what's behind the walls. Because he's a mechanical engineer, and because that's the part nobody will ever see on a tour.
His framing in this clip: the finishes are the sizzle. Tile and hardwood can go a hundred years, and most homes get remodeled every twenty regardless. The steak is structural. LP Outdoor Building Solutions SmartSide on the exterior, LP subfloor, LP sheathing on the walls. That's what keeps a house from settling. It's why you're not staring at drywall pops and nail pops six years in, wondering what happened.
It's a hard thing to market, because you can't photograph it. A buyer walking through on Saturday will see the beamed ceiling and the stone and the light. They won't see the sheathing. But it's the reason the rest of it stays right.
