More basic than that.

I’ve been in the Trades since 1980 and for the last 35 years, homes have been built - esp. by the big developers - with such crap quality materials that if you choose a trades career, you’re going to be guaranteed non-stop repair work.

TBH, I wouldn’t own a home built since 1987 - that is when the quality of lumber took a nosedive and the rest of it followed down that slide over the deccades…
