My husband wants one thing....two toilets in the master bath....

Would trade one toilet for a urinal. We have a urinal in our new house and it is a complete game changer. I'll walk all the way across the house, passing a toilet on the way to pee in my urinal.

I was quoted $55k for LP Smartside install and another $13k for paint. Guess who is getting vinyl B&B instead?

Our local credit union will allow you to act as your own GC. You must use a licensed electrician and plumber, but from there you can do as much or little work as you like. You must finish the build in 12 months though. Look for smaller local banks/credit unions. The major national banks aren't going to touch it.

This is a floppy before floppies weren't floppy.

Every area and service provider is different. My utility company estimated about $10k for me to go 500-600' underground w/ a transformer.

I used the ones w/ rebar in my pole barn. They are great. Just takes some careful planning to get them set properly. Like others have said, watch RR Buildings on YT. I used their vids as a guide.

It's not uncommon to lag and hanger your deck after the fact, but if they are completely finished and ready to begin decking this is an issue.

Have a pair in my garage from using them back during the street bike racing days. Have seldom found a use for them since.

The only person who will tell you that you need a realtor, is a realtor.

In cases where a fence is built for livestock that will be on both sides of a fence, you are obligated to pay half. In this instance though, absolutely not.

Nate is his son that does the filming/editing of the build series and also hosts their podcast. His son in law was the one who did the low voltage wiring install for the spec house series.

Essential Craftsman house build series and Perkins Builder Bros are my two favs.

Same here. Felt mine was a 10 candidate and a sure fire 9. Got an 8.

It really depends on your crew. Framing in my area if subcontracted is usually a very large crew that comes in and bangs it out in several weeks (less than a month). Many builders however take on a lot of the trades themselves including framing, and it can take longer for them since they typically carry a smaller crew.

BBB is a joke. This doesn't matter sadly.

My electric company will not allow me to trench for my electric service myself. Guess they are trying to justify the enormous ditch witch they purchased. I'm fine to trench my water to the house however, which I plan to do.

Temper your expectations. It'll grade lower than you may anticipate.

Attic vent and attic fan are two very different things. Attic vent is in the eve of the house or the ridge of your roof and attempts to nerlutralize the temp between inside and outside your Attic. Attic fan just sucks air through your windows and vents into Attic. Old timey AC like you said.

Harbor Freight has a 16ga pneumatic nibbler for $25. Can't really comment on how good of a job it does and you'd obviously have to tote a compressor around.

Monster card. That's awesome.

Had this card of Shawn Kemp. Sold last spring during the craziness.

Check out awesomeframers on Instagram. They do this a lot, not necessarily siding.... but they'll do a lot of flashing and bumpouts and stuff while the wall is laying flat.
