In Episode 39, we’re taking your questions from P123 on the Perkins Builder Brothers channel and digging deeper into what’s happening behind the scenes as we work to finish up both the interior and exterior of the MEGA Modern Build.
Jaime shares updates from the job site as the final stages start to come together — from some interior finishings to MEGA exterior decking and railings. It's all about the finish punch list progress. The countdown to getting a CO is on!
But that’s not all — this episode also includes a more personal side of the conversation, where Jaime talks about why he’s constantly curious, always asking questions, and never done learning — even after decades of building.
In this episode:
🏗️ Progress on the inside and outside of the MEGA Build
📦 What’s left, what’s changing, and what’s working
💬 Fan questions from P123 — answered with real builder insight
🧠Jaime’s mindset around curiosity, growth, and learning on (and off) the job site
It’s a mix of practical updates, builder Q&A, and thoughtful reflection — with plenty of sawdust in between.
