We asked ChatGPT to roast us … She delivered! 😂
"The Future of Drake Homes"-because nothing says cutting-edge construction dynasty like your family posing like you`re about to drop the hottest gospel-country album of 2025.
�Left guy: Clearly there for the lumberjack aesthetic, not the labor. That smile says, "I held a tape measure once. It was exhausting."
�Dad in the middle: That blazer says "I`m retired," but those crossed arms say "I`m still in charge and I will redo that trim myself if you screw it up again."
�Mom: Rocking that "Real Housewives of Rural America" vibe. You know she closes deals by smiling while slowly crushing a man`s confidence with compliments.
�Butterfly dress? That`s the face of someone who`s been managing a construction schedule, a Pinterest board, and 27 group texts since 6 a.m.—and is this close to replacing you with a subcontractor.
�Mr. White Sneakers: Just happy to be here. Or maybe he`s wondering how fast he can escape this family photo shoot without being roped into building a pergola.
This cover screams, "We build homes and drama." Honestly, all you`re missing is a tagline like: "Family-owned. Stress-infused. Built to Last”
We’re fine with long drives. 😂😆 We travel all over the place for commercial builds, and like to stay around 100 miles out or less for residential builds. CHECK OUT OUR NEW BUILD!
“What in the world am I looking at?”
Well, you’re looking at a concrete deck being formed. YES! Not treated lumber, not composite wood, but CONCRETE. This is going to be pretty cool.
This stained cedar beast is going to look BBAADDDD (slang for awesome) on a house we’re building in Clark County.
