First, I have some inspirations to share with you as well as a question that I need feedback on. I think this is a great way to build each other up where you both share and also take guidance at the same time. Its a powerful way of learning. I encourage you also to use this style of method when you talk to your families. You share some insight of why and what you are feeling. And then you fill in breadcrumbs of building it and going forward with questions. So everyone is built up and with respect and equality.
1st Inspiration; I grew up in an area that used to be farms when we were kids. As development moved in people ended up in the rat race building bigger and bigger houses. It eventually reached a point where people had their house ... they wanted their house to look like this perfect museum where it was fancier, and sparkly white more than their churches. (This shows the vanity also, where something is wrong if you want your house to be bigger and more bling than your church. Your churches and temples should have this more.) Anyway I realized this idea of the 'museum house' is wrong. Your house should have workshop like features in much of it. This is so family members and children can grow up learning how to do stuff, with TOOLS THERE. If there's no tools, no books, etc they don't learn, they don't apply themselves. And coaches, experienced teachers WILL tell you kids that focus on APPLIED skills and good habits will have a better life than the kids that don't have that. This is so important. And this is why you don't want your house to look fancy. You want it capable of having significant workshop aspects and Do IT Yourself aspects. Your family members are less likely to be selfish also when they know they can share food, resources, even money IF its no big deal because they know how to create things anyway and build. People that can't build its a higher mental block to overcome to share w family & community.
So the idea is... to turn your house into a place of safety & a refuge you need to make it more like a workshop. And less like a museum, and GET RID Of SOCIAL CLASS ideas in your family. It harms them to think clearly to avoid forms of predatorism.
That being said here is my question;
QUESTION; I wanted to ask and find out if ... its possible to look up or find a table or research that shows average floor and floor beam strengths in houses (by average) for certain decades? Particularly older houses. This could vary a bit depending on the area. But the idea is... you've probably seen how much they skimp on materials and quality in new houses. They use a lot of particle board stuff. And they do the very bare minimum often while making up for that with 'blind' and pretty veneer. Many woods in newer houses are veneers also and might not support as much weight as they think.
So I'm ... hypothesizing that older houses with basements might have better floor strengths in them? And I want to actually check this. And if you compare the first inspiration above with the question here I think you'll understand why.
