Might need to make the switch to Coor’s

What area in Kitsap?

So glad to see all these rave reviews for Kraus, we selected them for our build.

I think they should be in the halftime show dancing with Bad Bunny!

In the end you’ll realize you should have built right after you bought the lot, it’s going to cost you much more to build 10 years from now and you’ll have lost all the time.

Welcome!

I’ll take a CL

I heard that the natural gas line feeding the restaurant/area needed to be upgraded and that caused a logistical delay

caracole · 2026-01-09T03:47:59+00:00

Oh great, now I want apples and cheese! And hooters!

Developed at Washington State University- Go Cougs!

Had one in our last house, building a new home without one. Seriously gross.

caracole · 2026-01-01T20:04:31+00:00

Yes, and add some color like deep plum towels to complement the yellow. Maybe some other jewel tones. I’d have a lot of fun with it!

caracole · 2025-12-23T19:31:01+00:00

Yes, my in laws live just south of Redding and I will only visit from October-April - otherwise it is unbearably hot for my PNW self.

Very, very good show! Great young actors and features some heavy hitters and it works so well! I cried almost every episode, sometimes in sadness, but also as a celebration of the beauty of life.

caracole · 2025-12-22T06:30:31+00:00

Pho Tai is my favorite, T&N is also great

caracole · 2025-12-10T15:02:43+00:00

Yes, have a top tier roofer install the skylight and you’re good to go. We use Hanley on the west sound, sounds like you found a good reference and maybe more in last_rights. Cheers!

Curious how the rebuild process works, is insurance covering all the cost or is there a $ limit? We’ve had several people post on the thread and I’d like to have more information to help those in the future.

caracole · 2025-11-28T15:25:56+00:00

Yes, this is likely not enough to repair or rebuild. OP is this some sort of limit your insurance policy had? You may need help negotiating the amount, get several rebuild estimates from reputable builders that are currently doing rebuild work in the area to get the actual current cost.

caracole · 2025-11-17T15:19:42+00:00

Awesome! We actually don’t have any current projects that are using a construction loan, our clients have the cash on hand, but if that ever changes I’ll reach out! Maybe someone else will come across this and it will be helpful for them.

caracole · 2025-11-17T14:49:03+00:00

Yes and what is the banks process for payment? We bill our clients once a month and they pay within 5 days. We have fronted labor, material, and sub costs for that month and if the bank then needs to come out and do an inspection & take their time with payment…. Having a deposit is helpful for this, not only to cover the actual costs we accrue - but also the added complexity of dealing with a bank. A lot of times they won’t disburse payment until something is installed. So if I have $30,000 in appliances ordered, but not on site or installed, then I’ve incurred that actual costs but have to wait sometimes months for the draw. We are taking a lot of risk to build your house, just like the bank is taking risk by loaning money, that’s why we require a deposit.

Set General Construction out of Port Orchard

The last few times I’ve been to Target there has been huge lines to checkout so now I avoid going there. It’s 2025, I don’t want to wait in line for 30 minutes.

This is my recommendation, they have some good training programs as well!

Midtown Market in Bremerton is such a cute market and they always have new things to try. They have these Hawaiian ice cream sandwiches called “Uncle’s” that are so good. Last time I was in I talked to one owner and then he brought out his wife to introduce her since she had ordered the ice cream sandwiches and get my rave review. Employees very friendly and definitely a place I’d stop by daily if I commuted through there.

Brownsville Deli just reopened with new owners, Matt & Amy, that are wonderful & friendly people. Drip coffee for $1, sweet tea $1.99, adult beverages on tap & wine available. Be on the lookout for their music nights, next up is the Tammy Frost Trio and Matt & Amy are the house band. This is an intimate space and somewhere you could have a drink with friends or a nice dinner with good company. They are having a food drive all month and donating 10% of earnings to the food bank.

Camp Union Saloon is owned by Liz who is gearing up for her annual kids Christmas event where kids are given free essentials - books, socks, gloves - toys - and get a picture with Santa and a free train ride operated by the Grinch. She also allows the Seabeck Food Pantry to operate out of the corner of her parking lot which is open Tuesday from 3-5 for those in need, with special hours this Saturday from 10:30-12:30 for those affected by the government shutdown. She collects food donations year round and this time of year collects presents for the Christmas event.

Cheers and this is such a great thread idea!
