SQ foot container garden ready and waiting...
Comments (6)Peas are up! Interestingly, all four sprouted in each box on one side of the garden, but we only have two so far in each box on the other side. I planted one of each variety in each side, so that I'd get a better idea of how they did in the slightly different lighting conditions. I've been so envious of all of the warmer climate gardens that are already producing! On the other hand, we had a fantastic set of bulbs in the neighborhood this year and those of us in cold areas get to really enjoy things like the Forsythia when it blooms. Note: my mix compacted about an inch in the past few weeks since I put it in, but the boxes are pretty deep so I still have over a foot....See MoreTrying to Estimate Cost/Sq.

Comments (7)Granite will run $30/sq ft and up, depending on the slab you pick and the edge treatment. Most suppliers have "levels" with certain granites within the level (e.g., Level 1-Uba Tuba, Santa Cecelia, Kashmir Gold Level Two- New Venetian Gold, Tropic Brown). Bullnose edge is usually standard, bevel would be more, and ogee edge would be the most expensive. Flooring would vary greatly. You can get tile for $2/sq ft and tile for $12/sq ft. I would say a nice tile installed would run around $4 but using the marble or travertine would increase that. The pattern also increases the costs; if you use tile on the diagonal or a versaille pattern with the travertine, you will pay more. We found great deals on tile at Floor & Decor, particularly on the travertine. I have seen beautiful cabinets built and finished onsite. That's what we did for our house. Mine, however, did not turn out as well as I would have hoped and it was crazy trying to make the guy understand what I wanted, even with pictures! I think for my kitchen and family room I would probably use the cabinet manufacturer based in College Station if I did another house and keep site builts for the bathrooms and utility. If you interview builders they usually give you allowances that may or may not have enough to cover what you are dreaming of....See MoreAllowances for 4,000 sq foot custom home in franklin TN
Comments (50)We are about to start a custom build in Gallatin, TN (on the water) and we are looking at $240+/sf NOT including land (we have owned our land for awhile). I will say that we are planning on "upgrading" what can't easily be changed later - insulation, HVAC, civil work, etc. My husband has been diligent with scoping the "bones" of the house and my job has been the "pretty" parts of the house. I am spending money in the kitchen (Mouser cabinets, marble countertops, Wolf/SZ appliances) because I cook A LOT and this is important to me. I will budget in other areas that we can easily change later or that just aren't that important to us. We are both really handy and can do a lot of work later if we have to. Mind you, this budget doesn't include much landscaping and does not include the drive to the street (250 ft of asphalt or concrete). I just want you to be realistic - the true SF cost is the level of finishes you are comfortable with (assuming you own the land). Be honest with yourself about what is important. Make a list and prioritize your wishes....See MoreCambria Luxury quote - 174/sq foot installed...yikes!
Comments (26)You are likely going to need 3 slabs for that if you want a good seam and the run to the left to have the material flow to run the same direction. Or even if you are OK with it running a counter direction. The big veins don’t meet up well. Finger painting on a phone, but the issue is going to be vein direction and how they meet at the seam. If you only use 2 slabs, you risk getting a crosswise, off, seam match at the corner. To get the best seam, with the best chance of flow match, is going to need 3 slabs. A Jumbo slab is only 65”. Your 64”run cuts it way too close to the bone to get it all cut out of a standard and a Jumbo. You need the 3rd slab if you want this to look right. 3 slabs of designer plus fabrication would be in the 12K-14K range here. That’s 140 square feet of material required for the job. Right at or just bow $100 a square....See More- 16 years agolast modified: 9 years ago
