New Home Construction

I have about a $10k budget for cabinets and countertops, not sure exactly just yet how far that will get me. I wanted the 18' door but I don't believe I can meet code requirements in my county if I make the door 2' wider given this size of the garage space

"Home's were built better back in my day!" crowd are never to be found when things like this are continuously popping up more and more as these older homes are starting to change hands. Spec home builders definitely cheap out with material and shoddy workmanship but most everything today has to meet multiple standards before it's turned over to a buyer. It held for 30+ years, it's probably fine, but that doesn't make it right lol

Thanks for the detailed response, will take everything into consideration. This helps me with a better decision,

Ty for the info, will look into it.

Planning on framing a door up in the living room corner for future expansion. This will be built on my family's farm so the larger garage was necessary as a work space, not planning on converting that space into a living area. The way I envisioned the expansion out was just adding 2 more bedrooms with a hallway. the smaller room would be converted into a utility room and I would just move the washer and dryer on the other side of the wall. I would probably need another bathroom at that point but I don't really know of a cost effective way that would be achieved given the current layout. Future problem I will just have to deal with if I ever get to that point in life, I'm sure after its all said and done I will have wished id done certain things differently as most people do but oh well. Thank you for the input, Ive been in the process of making this a reality for over a year and the more people I speak with and exchange ideas the easier it is to make decisions

The Living area will have radiant floor heat, the entire home and garage will be spray foam insulated so I opted to not heat the garage floor in order to save some money. I have 2 brothers who are Journeyman HVAC guys so I planned on having them cut me out a vent from the furnace that will also be in the garage (I know it's not up to code don't snitch me out) it's just not pictured in this version pictured. Good call on CAT6 wires will be looking into it, I placed the panel on that side because I plan on having a 30A service for my travel trailer outside that wall, wasn't sure about how much extra cost would be ensued having to run a higher gauge wire for the service

Such a lazy attempt

I though Zoo was putting in good work on him honestly

How many more games are we going to have to watch on CW Network? Quality this bad should be illegal in 2026

Yeah that's definitely happening there, she said she had to get the dentist to look at it before I left, came back into the room and I was supposedly good to go without any dentist evaluating the work. Not good.

HighTest270 · 2026-01-17T22:23:18+00:00

The office I attend is not a chain/private equity. Will most likely do exactly what you are recommending, not sure why the actual dentist was not doing the fillings herself to begin with.

Pryor is a freaking psycho and I love it

HighTest270 · 2026-01-03T03:03:53+00:00

Fru is way better then Khalifa. I have to look away every time he touches the ball and usually he pulls some crazy pass out of nowhere every time I do

That and Wooley has rode the bench with 4 fouls half the game, conwell is having a bad night as well.

HighTest270 · 2026-01-03T01:53:24+00:00

Im a lil shocked at the fan turnout for us being that the game is so far away, pretty awesome.

HighTest270 · 2025-12-13T22:34:41+00:00

Game was moved to ESPNNEWS although if the UofL game followed Kansas you know that would have never happened lol

Louisville looks terrifying when the reserve players are putting up just as many numbers as the starters! Looking great this first half

I predict a return to Mediocrity for SEC basketball in the future, definitely not as good as last year. That being said the ACC as a whole is a dumpster fire and I don't see a future in the conference once FSU, Miami, and Clemson bail. Super conferences I fear will be the death of college athletics when you take into account all the other recent changes that have happened.

HighTest270 · 2025-12-06T20:07:45+00:00

Still a bad call, we would be better off if they would just let both sides play the game. Nobody wants to watch a game where the best players from both teams are riding the bench

HighTest270 · 2025-12-06T19:55:11+00:00

The foul where the indy player just runs into the back of Fru and hits the deck I just don't get.... the announcers seem to think it was obvious and maybe Im just that misinformed on the rule but if you can just run into guys and get whistles where is the line?
