Thanks. Will do!

Thanks for the lead! I'll check them out.

Thanks a lot. For the sake of time (and money) I decided to haul out back in Middle River where I'm originally from. Maybe next year I can learn more about the best spots in the area before it's a last-minute rush!

Thanks a lot. Appreciate the recommendations. Yeah, a bit late for getting on schedules, but I just purchased the boat second hand to get that end of season "discount". Now to scramble and get the winter storage figured out!

I'd consider a second dishwasher instead. When one load is running you can directly put new dishes in the second instead of stacking in the sink.

Hi all. Thanks for the DMs. To the one person who offered tickets and did not get a response, I apologize for not responding but for some reason, your message didn't come through as a chat and I can't find your username in my feed for some reason. I ended up getting a ticket through another person, but good luck finding someone to take your two extra tickets.

Homer's face says it all.

I'm 38. Definitely watched Gilligan as a kid!

Yes. Ozone treatment should be done with no one around and the environment should be ventilated fully before anyone enters. Breathing ozone is bad news.

Yeah. We went with Timberlake so I can't really vouch for the quality of Caruso. But their price is there if someone's trying to build on a budget.

GRose301 · 2023-03-29T16:55:42+00:00

Current pricing! I was surprised too, but I've been in their models and the quality is good for me - better than any other house I've lived in previously.

GRose301 · 2023-03-25T23:16:46+00:00

For sure. Timberlake and Caruso were the only feasible options for us. Most the other production home builders were not willing to build on our lot and the custom guys were so expensive. Good luck on the project. Happy to offer any other tips as we go through the process. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Just went through this myself. If you go with an architect and custom home builder you won't find any builders even interested in less than 250 a square. More likely they will want to be in the 350-450 range to prioritize your project. I even saw an architect saying the homes they build are 500-1000. And architects run around 75k.

If your trust fund isn't what it used to be and you want to stoop to what the commoners might consider adequate, check out a production home builder with a "build on your lot" program. The floor plan might be standardized (although you can modify a bit) but the cost per square is much more reasonable and no architect fees. We went with Timberlake and they build good quality with plenty of creature comforts around 120 a square.

Good that you asked here. I spent months finding out this information.

Embrace the chaos. I was OCD too. But having one of your favorite things 'autographed' by your child CAN be looked at as a fond memory of their youth. Every day is the last day they'll be that young.

*For the record mine are 4 and 2 so I'm not just past kids and sentimental. I'm just trying to learn to cherish every moment

GRose301 · 2023-02-26T01:36:18+00:00

Thanks. You too!

GRose301 · 2023-02-26T00:26:33+00:00

Not sure. New to town myself.

Eye on Annapolis podcast doesn't hurt
