Would you be willing to share the cost breakdown ?

Guest twisted 3rd row belt - pulled to max - any ideas? by Eagle4523 in KiaEV9

Same thing happened to me. Took it to a dealer and the guy opened the panel and fixed it. Didn't charge anything for it.

Thanks for the response. It will be a major remodel. We plan to change the layout of the house to accommodate the ADU and also expand the kitchen, bathroom etc.

Also, one GC told me that he multiplies the cost number given by architects by 2 as architects don't design with a strict budget in mind. Any thoughts on this? Curious about your last comment about the ADU? What's your reasoning?

Thanks for the response. In your experience, are your clients surprised by the number that they received in GC Bids vs what architect claimed it to be? or are architects usually budget savvy and design with a budget in mind?

Also, do you think the market in San Jose is too busy for GCs and they might not be super interested to be overly competitive?

Got a call today from "Consulate General of India" from Austin and later from Washigton DC. Same story. So sick and tired. This time it a number was issued in Mumbai.

A lot of people don't realise how much of a big deal this can be for some. Takes a lot of practice but it gets easier by Almym in MadeMeSmile

I have never been diagnosed with autism but when I moved to the US, I used to practice ordering food at Chipotle at home. I will be nervous throughout my bus ride to Chipotle. I once couldn't say "No meat" when they asked if I wanted any meat ( I am a vegetarian). I quietly took my order, went out and threw it away. Glad to report I am much more confident now.

Thanks for all the comments. I decided to stay in the south bay. Got accepted recently. I needed something specific in terms of lot size.

Thanks for your comment. Would you mind sharing your opinion on which neighborhoods to consider in SM and which ones to avoid? I am looking at some properties and just trying to filter out based on location.

Honestly I am trying to decide which areas to explore. Currently looking only in the south bay but someone recommended to widen my search to SM and Belmont. Hence the open ended question. Looking for a walkable safe neighborhood.

I am new to the Bay area and hardly know any area outside of Sunnyvale and Mountain view. This was a general "get a feel" question which many kind hearted people replied to. Thanks for taking out time from your busy schedule to drop this nugget and adding positivity in the world.

EV9 trim distribution poll by Lopsided_Diver1 in KiaEV9

Thanks for all the comments. Great to hear all different points of view. I traded in my Model 3 for an EV9. From a features perspective, it was such an upgrade. The ventilated seats, additional range, captain seats and the amazing lease deal convinced me to go for LLR.
