A gentlemen's silent competition of who's passing down more and building better with their own hands. Meanwhile, skill gets forgotten between generations. DIY stuff that my parents and grandparents could do are also things of ... not enough time to invest into. Because they have become less profitable than just going for the dough. And it's sad. And I hope... temporary. But everything is temporary. All inheritance goes to waste pretty fast if the habits and motivation to continue building on is not there. It's all just a few months of no cash flow or medical conditions some of which just come with age... Or a mental condition. Dust in the wind.
Skills are a dying art these days. It is sad how little most of us can do with our hands. Things that people used to do commonly, because they had to. We are spoiled.
