ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Wrath Of Gnon
ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
Wrath Of Gnon @wrathofgnonUsing only hand tools and exactly copying the work of medieval carpenters, it took 25 carpenters just ONE week to make a truss. Notre-Dame needs 36 of these. 36 weeks in total for a roof that will last 1000 years. That is far faster and cheaper than metal beams lasting 200 years. https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1281207726521978880 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -

6/ is it
@strnglft who keeps tweeting "male friendship is the strongest force in the universe" ? Whoever it is, I love seeing that tweet. So here's an idea, lads: Coordinate. Get a group of 4 /5 / 10 young guys and all head up to VT for a week and learn to build a house.1 reply 1 retweet 22 likesShow this thread

I think it was my third or fourth date with my now-wife @LibertyFarmNH that I drove her up to Vermont and showed her a house I'd helped build.
Expensive signalling is effective.
Tools and skills are awesome.
Plus, you know, male friendship.
