>Why are mexicans so fucking bad at building houses? Not only do they contribute to the cardboard-built californian mcmansion crisis, but every addition to their own home looks terrible and is structurally retarded

>mexicans

mexicans in mexico built with bricks and concrete, I suggest you look in the mirror faggot.

>so they didnt need to be replaced "somewhat regularly"

a wood roof without insulation should last at least 100-200 years, even with non-crazy toxic insulation like rock wool at least 50. If you need to repair something every 20-30 years it means it wasnt done properly.

Do people using OSB really actually think they can call their work "fine craftsmanship" or are they just playing the marketing game?

>is that video not just applying some extra protection and claiming its some super technique that they do? or is that the standard level of sheating/insulation and they are full of shit? i cant tell if I was duped or not

you see what I see, they just add 2x the shit they usually add and claim it will last 10 times more. The house was probably done by illegals and he just throws in "fine craftsmanship" in the title despite doing such a craphouse doesnt require any precise building skill
