More needs to be done to keep reusable lumber out of the landfill or incinerators. Some of that lumber could be reused for trailer decking and rails, could make a doghouse, used for shed wall framing, etc. Obviously, it would need ripped down to different dimensions, but I personally have reused some, and it's lasted many years. Yes there are screws and nails, but this doesn't much matter if it's used for things like roof framing.

I really like your videos about all ways of doing works belonging to the classic trades! Nevertheless it would be pretty interesting to have e.g. Ross Trethewey do more parts about modern living, in particular about home networks and how to set-up reliable multi-access-point WiFi systems. It would be good to show off the relatively new trade skill of home-IT deployments, especially in times of home-office/schooling and still not very reliable powerline or repeater/mesh solutions, compared to a proper hard-wired multi access-point WiFi. In new builds or renovations this could be easily deployed and will improve the WiFi for the homeowners by a lot! Also hard-wired network for EV chargers, solar inverters and heating systems is a thing, for monitoring or Smart Home applications. However, keep going, your show is very good!!!

Mesh wifi systems are very easy to install. It depends on the square footage you have, the shame of the home you live in, and what obstructions are in the way (not including internet service providers upload and download speeds). Ask This Old House did a video called "How to Fix and Upgrade a Weak WiFi Signal" for the mesh setup. I would be more than willing to help those who need when it concerns wifi upgrades.

[@nusermane1076]

@@StuffTested True story, I know that video they did and for retro-fits, when no renovations are planned, its definitely a working solution. However, what I ask for, is to make homeowners aware of adding network cabling during a renovation or a re-wire, since it is in these cases not really expensive and it comes in pretty handy, whenever you need either better delays (video calls), compared to multi-hop wireless mesh/repeater systems, or if your neighbors Wi-Fis mess with yours and you need good Wi-Fi on each level, or for some devices hard-wired networking in your room. It’s a future-proofing thing :)
