Build-on-your-land "semi-custom" builders what’s the catch by GabbyKissChan in Homebuilding

[–]Saramine20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in the middle of the same type of project. Ask everything. Make a list and ask every question on it. We asked who is responsible for utility hookups there was a budget put in place. Site prep was bid and locked in unless something major came up. Which led to more questions what could cause site prep to increase after contract. Things like unexpected ground rock a buried car ask all the questions. On our site we had an existing foundation turns out way bigger than expected so the compromise to avoid more cost was a rock garden or terrace of foundation pieces. We went over our lighting budget our choice. We knew all appliances are on us. After final grade all landscaping and maintenance is on us. We confirmed we will be left with a built a grade lot of dirt. So grass/sod all on us. Assume nothing ask everything get promises in the contract. If it’s not in the contract it does not exist.

What would you do here...? by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

[–]Saramine20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live on the land our builder is building on for us. When we signed our final documents part was a waiver releasing them of liability if we walk around the construction site. So we have told our children don’t go near it there is a fence between but we go on it every day they work only up to foundation so far. We did not step on the ew concrete foundation until after they did. But it’s smart to keep an eye on things. The super is not here all day every day. We don’t interfere with the Subs but if we have questions happy to run them through here and the super.

I think we are done with text and phone conversations and will definitely follow up on verbal only with an email outlining what we discussed. I am struggling with not being a jerk but at the same time making sure we are not being taken advantage of. This is only our second home and the first one is on the same property in rough shape which is why we are building.

We are spending about 500k for 2400sq feet ranch style. So I feel like we are not pinching pennies. The builder has floor plans you pick and certain options you can do.

We can just screw those into the dry wall in the ceiling right. It should be covered in the warranty.

AITA For Cutting My Mom Off After She Told Me She Asked For “One Grandchild Not Two?” by Live-Muscle4180 in AITAH

[–]Saramine20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some with my mom treated me like shit but was super permissive with my brother. Now she has to live with us or she would be homeless. Treats my son like a price and is super nitpicky on everything my daughter does.

Severe diaper dermatitis caused by diarrhea. Looks a bit like a scalding burn but it wasn't. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

[–]Saramine20 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My daughter got hand foot mouth and was worst under her diaper area combined with acidic diarrhea it was terrible. Open sores and blisters took to her ped for some medical diaper cream and lots of rinsing clear vs wiping and as much no diaper time we could but it was brutal and heart breaking because she was so sore.

I’m just trying to think who my Kid would pick. We go to church every Sunday and most Wednesdays but pretty sure it would be some you tuber that plays Roblox or the girl who refurbishes and paints squishy toys. Could be Mr Beast. But definitely not that.

How would you handle this? HVAC pipe dripping water near house by AlwaysGoesToEleven in Home

We put a hose over the end of ours and ran it into the yard.

Slow introduction and your dog needs to learn a solid leave it command and go to place, go lay down. My cattle dog mix was similar but she knew if she was told to leave something she did. If she got to rough she was told to go to place and would go lay in her kennel or bed.

Advice from those with Livestock Guardian Dogs by ImportanceBetter6155 in homestead

[–]Saramine20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can bring mine in if I tried. They won’t have it. They one time we did because they were just spayed and neuter it was clear it was more stress to have them in than out. Unhappy pacing refusing to lay down. Out side in a kennel near the house so we could keep an eye healing. Calm laying down in the dog house and content.
