The "kids these days" stereotypical complaint is overstated; one can't deny the impact that "KZbin University" has had in recent years to create an environment where people are more likely to try and fix/renovate all sorts of things. I see many examples of young people shopping at second hand thrift stores, and touting the benefits of "reduce, reuse, and recycle" as a way to address their generation's concerns about pollution and global warming.

Lots of people who don't speak English, which is not a big problem unless you try to give specific instructions. Many of these same guys look like they they bought all of their tools at a garage sale and haven't got a clue as to why they need a heavy power cord. Yeah, they are willing to work, but most are just doing exactly what the guy next to them is doing, right or wrong.

Kevin, at start you referred to “Elliott Boro Park house” in Charleston as an 189os built house with the stacked front porches with separate cooking kitchen down 3-5 steps from house structure ??? If it is and was built 189os, even 188os or 187os, but not to be politically correct or picayune,should you have referred to separate, attached cooking structure as a “slave’s kitchen”? Should you not refer to it as a cooking kitchen? Certainly not as a slave’s kitchen or even as a servant’s kitchen - especially as it was never in a then state of slavery or employed any persons then held in a station of slavery, regardless of employment terms. I think it was merely a slip of your tongue, not a slip of your mind and these ladies deserve credit for seeming to not be insulted, so good on them.
