“Truss” me on this, you’re going to like this one. It’s the story of how an invention meant to make roofs more hurricane proof transformed the building industry and has given us those strangely configured giant homes we call “McMansions” today. Be sure to read the comments for this one to get some opinion on the downside of this form of home construction. Watch

Why do 99 percent of youtube videos contain irrelevant bullshit until halfway through them? Because people making these videos like to hear themselves talk.
The FED gave us McMansions by providing money to lend that NOBODY had saved.

I paid cash for mine. You do live in a cave don’t you? You type the most ridiculous shit.
@Brad — Not BS. I paid cash for my home, too, but that didn’t blind me to the size of the mortgage industry. Where do you think all that loan money came from? It wasn’t from anyone’s savings. It was created from other people’s debt.
Truss plates have been around for over 30 years. And “kick” plates for protecting wire, and water, and sewage, and gray water.
Millennials think the world didn’t exist before they were born.
And yet most of older cats have worked on houses from the late 1600’s, on up.
Of course we don’t know everything, but we know truss plates did not make the world spin in the cosmos.

So what banking institution or mortgage lender do you have on your deed of trust? In Cali I don’t have any. I guess another good reason not to move to Florida. Come on man!
Banking institution or mortgage lender?
None.
As I wrote, I paid cash. I own my house and land outright.
“Where do you think all that loan money came from? It wasn’t from anyone’s savings. It was created from other people’s debt.”
The same with any lending institution. Car Loans, credit cards, you name it. What’s the deal? If you don’t like it, don’t participate. They make money by charging you interest on the money they lend you, That’s how it works.
