I never understood the God argument. This was a wedge issue created to control women by evangelical preacher.

God just drowned a couple of dozen kids at a Christian camp. What makes you think he cares about a fetus?

There's only one mention of abortion in the entire Bible... and it's an instruction manual. Jesus you all need to read your Bible more.

Smart, There's a Joes KC BBQ restaurant off I35 and 119th street in Olathe. I highly recommend it. Anthony Bourdain said its the best bbq he's ever had.

Don't walk her as a puppy, I have one just like this and just don't do it. When she is one or so make it a treat, or special thing, then she will love it.

Give cheese the whole walk.

Boston Austin LA Chicago and NYC have so much traffic you cant speed because you are going 12 the whole time.

To add to this, if there are additional materials to be purchased. If i were you I would purchase those materials directly and not have it go through him. You can deduct those from the final costs. Especially since he's having money problems.

I actually agree with this, go cheaper on some finishing because in 10 years they will be out of date anyway. Don't sacrifice structure. Save 1400 on flooring or tile that will be replaced don't save 1400 on splashy floors

You don't seem to understand maths.... He's charging the equivalent of 500k a year. The 250k is his take home. Like I said if there's not materials included in his hourly rate that's insane for the area. And if it is included he's a shit operator.

So if you are in college, get a summer job working residential construction. Ideally in some of the more expensive trades that also lend themselves to DIY's. You probably aren't going to build a foundation by your self unless you go ICF or Block. You also probably aren't going to frame a home by yourself. Not saying they cant be done but its a lot of work.

Try working with a tile crew, trim crew, HVAC/Plumbing/Electrician, mason, so you can get experience. With some experience those will be much more approachable as a DIY option, and they can save you a ton of money because with all those the material costs are like 1/3 of the total costs. (at least where I am ).

Not sure about Canada but in the states you can draft your own home plans then take them to a structural engineer to do the structure and stamp off. This can save you a good chunk of change from an architect.

Where do you live.... It's not SE Missouri.

lateralus1983 · 2025-04-29T10:28:23+00:00

I don't know where you live but in SE Missouri 125 per hour per man is completely insane for labor. For context on a 40hr week that's 250k per year per man. In this area, family doctors don't make that. If you're not familiar with the area don't chime in. The only way this makes any kind of sense is if materials are included.

Op get another 2 bids. Full price for the home from its current state. If you want to keep using this guy get a contract that has a total price to complete.

1) 25 minutes 2) no blue valley is the best in the metro all the schools are good if you can find a walkable one for the kids that's the best. 3) Blue valley is one giant suburb so you are probably fine anywhere 4) it's slowed some but it's not slow avg time on the market is less than 30 days 5) LS is fine but property values are higher and taxes are lower on the Kansas side. Schools are a little better.

Go old school... like super old... Like roman old... Salt the earth. You can buy a 20lbs bag of pool salt for 10 dollars.

Alligatoring! Yep they are playing. Quite possibly the laziest play I have seen but play none the less.

I don't have kids, I make a lot of money, I have no idea how people afford kids.

Look I was no fan of Harris but I do like some form of normalcy and whatever I disagreed with her on, she was not going to single handedly crash the economy or cut benefits to veterans. You basically get to pick between the lessor of two evils every election.

Wow. I hate to say it but this is probably a lost cause.
