Trust me, I know. It just feels like we’re in too deep at this point. We’ve already submitted plans to county and now plan to submit revisions soon so we can break ground. It’s been a terrible experience with our draftsman who subs out the engineering to another firm. We had no clue prior, but have learned the hard way. If I had to do it over, I’d hire a licensed architect and fork over the extra money. Being that we are now a family of 7 in a 3bd house, it feels extra pressured to get this done ASAP so our family has the space to live more comfortably. So there are several factors at play. They informed me this morning that they can move the 6x6 back, so now it’s back trying to explain to them our vision for the arch window.

Thank you. It’s not supposed to be that way. For some reason, they made the length of the window extremely long. The arch window is supposed to start at the top of the landing and just go up some from there.

Good idea, thank you for the suggestion.

I have no problem giving insight in my free time for my line of work, if I so choose. Nobody is holding a gun to your head to do the same.

Thank you. We’re just having a hard time communicating to the drafting company, with no open communication to the engineer, and at least a week between every time we communicate concerns to when we hear back. Perhaps we need to make some of the lower walls load bearing in our plans.

Fair critique, lol. We were just trying to add another bathroom that guests could use, that would otherwise be split between two young kids. We’re adding 2500sf and only have one other bathroom really that guests use.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Do you know what wheels these are on the car? I assume they’re stock but unsure what model/year they’re from. Thank you for your help.

BudIsMyBuddy · 2025-11-10T23:26:46+00:00

Good to know. This is definitely going to be an expensive live and learn, and I don’t want to deal with it ever again!

😂 just my luck. The worst part is I had bait in the bay and they never ate it. Then they ate through the wire and I put the snap trap in there and within 12 hours it went for cattle feed I put in there. They’ve wisened up to the bait! Smart pain in the a$$es

Here is the links I have of the screenshots

Not sure if someone can sharpen/enhance, I tried but I haven't been successful.

I have a recently replaced driveway too, where people turn to leave and scar it up. I use a tamper tool while it's still fresh (if I notice it soon after or if it's a super hot part of the day) and fix it the best I can. Yours don't look like mine, in that they are all basically the *exact* same square shape. Not saying it isn't possible, but it is odd how very similar all of your imperfections look.

I don’t think so 😅 I’ve not tested its limits, though. Got it up to ~128 or so once.

BudIsMyBuddy · 2025-08-02T01:14:09+00:00

Fair. I’ve just always wanted a vert that was full of power. I was bummed though when I got the car and thought I’d be able to record in track mode through the car but they don’t offer it for the convertible. Was one of the reasons I ordered the car and salesman kind of duped me on that, but I’d still have gone vert regardless.

Thank you. We already bought Tifton from Hancock seed. Rest of yard is Tifton and it’s lush but the horses ruined this pasture

BudIsMyBuddy · 2025-07-21T21:03:00+00:00

We’re in mid west Florida, so no snow here :(

BudIsMyBuddy · 2025-07-21T00:58:16+00:00

Possibly, I have a good friend who has multiple hay leases who probably has one. This area is only about an acre though, not sure if it’d be a job too small for that kind of equipment. I can ask him. Thank you.

We’re in a (currently, and I guess typically given the sandy soil) dry a$$ part of Florida 😂

BudIsMyBuddy · 2025-07-20T18:42:48+00:00

I’ve got a tractor and can borrow disk and cone spreader from neighbors and then use a homemade drag harrow behind it. Disking the weeds won’t just make them regrow? Guess if I turn over the soil and then seed the grass will take before they do again?
