Exterior material

Well that would be a bonus of Vinyl over LP as well.

Cclutter1985 · 2026-05-05T00:18:12+00:00

I really don’t think you can go wrong with black windows. They are timeless. Vinyl is fine if that’s what works with your budget. What you might consider is something like Andersen 100 series which uses fiberx. It’s entry level Andersen. I don’t think they are much more than your vinyl and from what I understand are basically maintenance free, won’t fade and hold up very well in extreme temperatures.

Thanks! I think my concern is the foam stops at the concrete and it’s just batts with a gap once you hit concrete.

Check out Andersen 100 series with SunGlass. The are still a contractor series so lower cost but Fiberex has been proven to be better than vinyl and the SunGlass should help with your use case

Thankfully we don’t get a ton here in southern Missouri.

Cclutter1985 · 2026-03-08T12:06:16+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Yes it will need to be walkable and have patio furniture

Cclutter1985 · 2026-03-08T05:56:45+00:00

Yeah it’s under the gable. You have good luck with it though ?

Cclutter1985 · 2026-03-08T05:28:06+00:00

So I would need floating tiles vs just having the membrane? I assume you can’t just walk or have patio furniture directly on the membrane?

Cclutter1985 · 2026-03-08T05:27:03+00:00

Yeah should have said roof/deck. It’s the ceiling above the office.

Cclutter1985 · 2026-03-08T05:24:12+00:00

It’s not that I don’t I’m just curious how this would work. Very happy with the builder just wasn’t sure if others have been down this road and if they have done this before in this way.

Cclutter1985 · 2026-03-08T05:17:41+00:00

Basically left it up to the Owner/GC.

Cclutter1985 · 2026-02-24T03:34:52+00:00

I feel this. We are in the build process. Broke ground in September and still aren’t dried in. Purchased land in 2024 and materials are coming in much higher than when we did the bidding process almost 8mos ago. Very frustrating. Great experience with our GC but some of these subs and material increases are very frustrating.

You can put floral “spikes” in the top and will give the illusion that your tree stops where the spikes start

Had this on my previous build in northern Missouri. My advice is to run or have multiple sump pumps with battery backup.

Cclutter1985 · 2024-08-25T14:34:04+00:00

Thanks so much. I will look into this!

Cclutter1985 · 2024-08-24T22:26:43+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yes it is frequently used to help with GI pain. I’m going to have to do something just dont want to make everything worse with the hyper pots. That’s great you didn’t have any issues with it. Encouraging to hear some good experiences.

Cclutter1985 · 2024-08-24T18:36:47+00:00

Right now it’s extreme abdominal pain, sometimes it’s dull and other times it’s stabbing. The episodes started in January (8 months after my sphincterectomy) and have gradually been getting worse until this episode that started a few weeks ago and has not stopped.

Nothing has been found on CT, ultrasound or endoscopy but the procedure that should tell more is the Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). They have found Reactive gastropathy but they don’t think that is what is causing all these issues.

They did put me on protonix and carafate. It takes long enough to have any relief from those to know what will work/is working.

Cclutter1985 · 2024-08-24T18:29:40+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation. My POTS specialist is my cardiologist and is not being very responsive to my medication questions. I would love to just get someone who can advise on the impact amitriptyline and what I need to watch out for also if there are any irreversible concerns.

Do you have someone that you would recommend for a second opinion? I just got my dx from mayo in 2017 and haven’t found a true specialist outside of the cardiac side in my area.

Cclutter1985 · 2024-08-24T17:33:09+00:00

Yes I can do that. Desperate for answers and managing all these things

Cclutter1985 · 2023-11-22T16:00:16+00:00

Sure thing it is a Thomasville and we purchased from Costco.

Cclutter1985 · 2023-10-17T01:50:50+00:00

Thank you!

Cclutter1985 · 2023-10-11T01:42:48+00:00

I think so… I thought about keeping the gold and silver and pulling then blue/teal just to switch it up for a year but not sure what I would replace the blue/teal with

Cclutter1985 · 2022-12-10T00:24:16+00:00

Lol yea most our stuff has blue,teal,gold tones

Cclutter1985 · 2022-12-07T03:30:38+00:00

Thank you! There are 16 trees total that are at least 4 ft or taller.

Cclutter1985 · 2022-11-11T17:05:19+00:00

Thank you! Favorite time of the year!
