E136. True or false questions

How well do you actually know your building facts? In this episode we're flipping the format and putting ourselves on the spot with a run of true or false questions, pulled straight from the things people assume about building, buying land, and designing a home. No long explanations up front, just a call: true, or false. And some of the answers aren't as obvious as you'd think.We move through contracts and compliance, structure and site conditions, roofing choices, wet areas, solar, and energy efficiency, testing some of the most common assumptions homeowners walk in with. Does a fixed price contract really mean the price can't change? Does an easement only affect what's underground? Are all slabs designed the same way, regardless of soil? Is a skillion roof always the cheaper option? Some of these will feel like common sense once you hear the reasoning. Others might completely change how you think about your next build or reno.There's also one trick question thrown in to keep us honest, and a couple of answers that surprised even Frank. It's a fast-moving episode, but it's grounded in the same real project experience we always bring, just packaged as a quiz instead of a story.If you've ever nodded along to a "fact" about building without really knowing if it's true, this one's for you. Tune in, keep score as you go, and see how many you get right. Got your own true or false to throw at us?
