That's my point. Your advice is only relevant for millionaires.

Did this - it has been so helpful over the years, and not just for the wiring and plumbing.
We were struggling to drill pilot holes for installing window treatments one time so reviewed the photos to figure out why; sure enough, discovered there were Masonite shims right where we were trying to drill, so just moved over a bit and had a much easier time.

So I can tell people it's important as an adult to practice logically not talking to strangers and get down voted because everyone is making stupid points like making friends which is obvious.....
But this post is telling you to...... Clean your house before inviting people over

$250,000*as many accounts as you have open. FDIC insurance isn't per depositor only. It is per depositor, per institution, for each account ownership category. That is how these "cash management accounts" are able to push the limit higher - they're actually multiple accounts at multiple institutions with an interface that appears to just be one account at the institution you made your "cash management account" at

I don't dust and might leave dishes from the night before but that's the extent of it.

These ‘life pro tips’ are getting terrible.
Wonder how our ancestors ever survived without these. 🤦♂️

flip a coin. heads you clean up, tails you don't. but cleanup before flipping the coin - it's a win win.

Better to do it while the walls are open than when the walls are closed. It'll depend on who you're working with of course, but most companies should be willing to do it, especially if you're the ones who hired them. Hell, if it's your own house you could possibly put it in yourself. My uncle was doing a renovation and had a bunch of walls taken down. He took the opportunity to put in some conduit going from his basement to the 2nd floor.

Ah yes, the ol' 'permanent clean' strategy - it's either a genius life hack, or a sign that I need therapy.

LPT: just keep your place clean and tidy all the time. That way you don't have to panic clean your slob life.

I wanted this, along with CAT 7 in the walls instead of CAT 5E, but they literally wouldn't let me add, change, or suggest anything.

I did this! I haven't needed it yet, but someday I will, and I will be happy I have them.
Also, we hired a third party inspector. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. He took 3D panoramas of every room before the drywall went up.

Reading that article absolutely blows my mind. To summarize:
Article: "Money was reported stolen. Years later, the money was found in house belonging to person X. Good Samaritan turns in money and gets a reward, what a feel good story. The end."
Me, reading: "Oh, cool. So... I guess police are gonna investigate why person X had money hidden in his -..."
Article: "I Said THE END".
ok...
These psycho church lunatics have such a hold on society, not only are police afraid to investigate an obvious crime, the media is afraid to even mention the possibility of even thinking about an investigation being at all a possibility. Like, not even on the radar. Wowzers....
