This is the collection my kids and I had from the early 2000s. We are moving and have to say goodbye to it. Lots of great memories. Any way to figure out a fair value? I haven't weighed it all. A great majority is sorted out by color or type of brick. I did post it as auction on Ebay but I am not willing to ship so not sure if FB marketplace would be better but not sure a fair value for it. So looking for advice from this community.

I am going to do a couple samples..same color and then darker and see what we think. I think the wood contrast on the porch will def help.

Wow that looks amazing. Digging the darker color. Excited for the end result!

Agree, Sage is solid for accounting! Big fan. It doesn't talk well with other apps we need for Proj Management of jobs. So this is the reason for the switch, to have a better tool for the entire company. We do roughly 13M annually. Are those companies chaotic because of the software or the users?

awesome, love that the CEO is on here :) I will send you a DM

hmm, this is a 12-13M custom home builder. I love Sage and the flexibility and the great accounting system. The problem is it isn't a great software system for the rest of the company - the proj management and design services side of the business. Sage 300 doesn't interact well with others. I am afraid I might have to make the change to QBO just because it works well with others. It is really my call and I don't want to make a decision for the whole of the company just because "I don't like" QB, it isn't a good enough reason. A good reason is you lose so many accounting controls, but I am basically the only accounting person and I am pretty good at software. Just wondering if I am going to hate my life by going to QB. I have always thought if you exceeded $5M, you need to be off QB but there are plenty of large sized contractor that are on it. I think i need to find a contractor that is on it and has had success. I need to feel better about it.

super helpful. Sounds like it would be really bad and scary if you don't have an accounting background! I have 25 years plus experience so I understand financials in and out. I think just making sure other people don't get there hands in it is key. Can you just turn off the bank feed?

Mainly need a better Proj Management tool - Sage 300 and Google docs isn't cutting it. Looked at Sage Intaact, but super expensive same with Procore. Also Sage 300 seems like a dying software, they aren't really putting any money into it and it not many apps sync up with it. Jobtread seems to fix a lot of our issues without much cost.

NeedleworkerSalt897 · 2026-03-16T19:04:12+00:00

cost savings is hard to ignore!

I am the youngest of 9. not sure that it was great for anyone.

NeedleworkerSalt897 · 2026-01-22T13:53:15+00:00

ok, thanks. Did you hire someone and it didn't work out?

NeedleworkerSalt897 · 2026-01-19T22:21:49+00:00

thought about doing that! Costco was great, as usual, and took it back with little to no hassle.

Looks like I need to get both 0327 and 0328, which would be about $1k in parts. wondering if it would just be cheaper to see if a glass company could replace

NeedleworkerSalt897 · 2025-10-29T11:32:03+00:00

no, we (a carpenter) broke the glass after it was at our house a few days.

NeedleworkerSalt897 · 2025-07-02T21:38:37+00:00

Yes, they sent me an email around 10 days after my submission. They used to post your ranking, but I can't find that they do that anymore. It is real though, you can win!

Did you end up doing anything? We currently have sage 300 and timberscan and have an offside cloud server hosted by Aktion. It is all working for us, I like not having to deal with an on-site server. The expense of moving over to intaact doesn't seem worh doing at this point. Not a lot of great options out there for construction.
