22/
Also, as I read this thread on pick and shovel work, I'm reminded of the time a few years back when Patrick of P_pehat was trying to subtweet me and used the phrase "soft handed nazi".
I guess he reflected for a moment and then deleted the tweet.

23/ yeah, I'm sorta tempted to offer him a $10k challenge to build a coop that looks like that, in less than 2 weeks ...but he wouldn't even try, so why bother?https://twitter.com/coinaday1/status/1440427661306646533 …

Prince-philosopher Coinaday 🤴 🧐 @coinaday1Replying to @MorlockP @based_conYes, but the sand is similarly free because we're presuming there is an unlimited and plentiful supply on every property.
Another line would be to ask to see Gnon's stone chicken coup, since it's apparently a $20 weekend hobbyist project.2 replies 1 retweet 29 likesShow this thread -

30/ yes, using field stone would cut the work a fair bit ... but, man, at least around here, field stone doesn't stack for crap, except in roughly pyramidal shapes, so... I'm not sure. https://twitter.com/octal/status/1440658235862618120 …

33/ yes, this is the goal, IMO I'm a software engineer, not a coder. But it's not THAT hard to frame a small garden shed, build a field stone wall, tile a fireplace surround, etc. 80/20 rule, ftw.https://twitter.com/GayRobotDevil/status/1440664670755381264 …

Gay Robot Devil @GayRobotDevilReplying to @MorlockPThere’s an interesting midpoint between a Master Craftsman (who can build his own house) and the Complete Layman (who can’t build or fix a thing)- the person who isn’t going to cut stone, but probably could turn a pile of leftover cut stone into a decent little structure3 replies 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -

The Bicoloured-Python-Rock-Snake @pythonrocksnakeReplying to @MorlockPI've gone back and forth whether his constant downplaying of expertise and difficulty of traditional methods is just him trying to encourage people to get out and try stuff (which I might excuse, even if misguided) or sheer ignorance. Gotta be the latter in this case.0 replies 0 retweets 11 likesShow this thread
