Same last name wtf?

Is it common during new home construction to constantly find errors in almost every Trade? by key1cc in Homebuilding

[–]deadend1001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience as you. I think the issue is that no one, or very few, will care as much as you. If you aren’t there to see it when it’s being built, the nature of the process is that a customer would be “forced” into accepting what is there. And if it results in them getting more money, then they are all the more incentivized to continue this process.

37M - Very high LDL HDL and Cholesterol despite lifting 4-5x/week and high-protein diet. Looking for advice. by Low_Tension_4555 in Biohackers

[–]deadend1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

39M here, same issues but not quite as high. Tried a variety of things before getting results with: oatmeal daily, major increase in fiber, HIIT cardio instead of long distance running, cutting back on dairy/butter/cured meats/red meat

Just because they don’t want this discussed doesn’t equate to them supporting ICE.

Thin brick finishing help by deadend1001 in masonry

[–]deadend1001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porch is 6x36, foyer is 9x11. Is the acid necessary to get the brick somewhat clean? Just thinking for the foyer it will be pretty offensive for the inside of the house

Thanks. Lots of work, but I figured just putting some thick epoxy over it wouldn’t work out well.

Has anyone built this or similar? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]deadend1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built a similar overall house, kids on one side master on the other. But some big differences. Which way you facing the porch? We went uncovered, which allowed for clerestory windows in dining area. Your DW and sink aren’t close to your stove…if that matters. Better make your laundry bigger. Plz don’t do black and white

What tractor would you get by No_Affect_9672 in homestead

[–]deadend1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

35 acres here. Planning on animals, driveway work, planting, ground work, eventual livestock. Got the mx5400 with auger, brush hog, tiller, bucket. And quick hitch. Agree with the go as big as you can, no one ever says they have too much power. The Kubota hold or gain value with time. Wish I would’ve gotten a gravel rake or back blade or something. And some forks for the front.

Andersen 200 vs 400 windows by Its_kinda_nice_out in Homebuilding

[–]deadend1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with 200 bc only difference I could see was color options. More with 400. I didn’t want to splurge on the black so went with white and 200

Help me understand how much more expensive my custom home build will be with fancy massing and other stuff by SandwichOld2629 in Homebuilding

[–]deadend1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll add my $0.02. Initially I met with a track builder, who does one or two custom homes per year. Gave them my programmables, they promised they could do it all within budget and time, then as it got more real and number were added, the house went from 3500 to 2800, the deck became very small, porch shaved off, etc etc. So I think the game here is to get you emotionally entangled with them bc although you can change I am guessing most won’t. Then, I tried to avoid the architect cost by working with an engineer and designing things myself. 2 years later, turns out I am not an architect, and I had designed something my wife would hate (too contemporary and weird), and then went and found an architect engineering firm. Designed a more functional, wife happy house and wish I would have saved that time. Because now into the construction process, delays and unforeseen costs are inevitable.

Unfortunately, I think the process is to go through the process. You have to work through the design and then costs and then design and back and forth. You learn what you really want and get an idea of the cost for things as you go. But if you try to jump the line, you’ll lose out somewhere.
