How far down can I cut down my bamboo?
Q
Comments (3)
cootie- A question. Will the contractor be rolling back and forth over the bamboo, or is he just concerned about lowering the clearance. The reason I ask is that, if you don't have to cut the culms all the way to the ground and can leave some stubs with leaf mass, then the bamboo will be able to regenerate faster. On the other hand, If it were me, I'd be digging up rootballs and heeling them over in a pile of topsoil, and then replanting them after the contractor was done. But, digging up divisions of mature bamboo (and not killing them in the process) is hard work unless you have someone who is experienced in doing this. Unfortunately, you're about 1000 miles away so I can't be much help there!

How do I get a Detailed Bid??? (i.e., with cost break downs)
Q
Comments (10)
Junkbj, It appears that you are getting a turnkey price from a builder. Most builders will quote a project based on a certain number of $ per sq ft based on their experience and the current material pricing. They simply don't do a detailed take-off of the house because they don't have time to do it. If you think about it, a lot of people "toy" around with the idea of building a house and start making phone calls to builders to get prices. If the builder was giving detailed quotes to everyone that called, he would not be making any money. He knows what his cost is and he knows what he can build the house for and make a profit...so to save time, most builders will just give you a cost per sq ft or a lump sum like you got. Here's what I would do... Call the builder that you would like to have build your house. Talk to him and tell him that you want to use him but his price is a little out of your budget. Ask him if he can give you some suggestions as to how you can reduce the price so you are within your budget. You need to make a decision as to what you are willing to give up, what is important to you and what is not. What my wife and I did was to decide what would be easy to upgrade later and what would not. We also decided to go with a little less expensive can light fixtures since they will not be seen anyway. These are just a few examples of what we did. I am building a house right now. We are getting ready to do sheetrock starting next Thursday. I am a contractor but I do industrial construction at manufacturing companies so this is a new experience for me as well. It sounds like you are fairly knowledgeable...why are not considering being the general contractor yourself and saving the mark up? Its all a matter of getting some subcontractors and then managing them. If you'd like I can give you some tips on finding subs if you want to go this direction. Hope my thoughts helped you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Bret

Gosh. The Honey Oak dilemma is one of the most frequent dilemmas posted here. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/query/Paint-with-honey-oak Two options. Dark gray or a mid tone greige. Here's darker. Classy! Looks like they glazed the cabinets as well.

If not, I'll keep looking. I don't have any computers with Windows Vista any longer. Been over 4-5 years since I've used Vista, maybe longer!

Do you use reading glasses as sold at drug stores? Not intended as a snippy comment, if you don't maybe you should. And you may need a higher power of magnification for PC use than you'd use for general reading.

Many do use them for PC screens - images and fonts can be hard to read, that's a common problem for seasoned citizens. As for me, my near-sighted self wears glasses with progressive lenses for close vision but with some laptops, I need to take my glasses off because the distance can be too far for the reading part of the glasses and too close for the distance part. Often I need to move the screen back and forth until the images are clear. Maybe some of these tips can help you.

Very funny Snidely .... I can see just fine ... just wanted to know if there was a way of increasing the fonts in the drop down columns. Not the over all page fonts .

Snidely this is OT but I just can't help it. About 2-3 5-6 years ago on the birdwatching forum there was a pic of a sparrow in a bush. They discussed its markings at length etc etc to decide what kind of a sparrow it was. I could not see that bird and said so. Even with my Thrifty Drugstore Optical Readers. They told me to get some glasses. So I dug into a drawer, found and tried on my old non-cool prescription specs (real glass). Nope. No bird. Oh well. :-)

For Win 7....go to Start>Control Panel>Personalization>Window Color and when the menu appears, click on each line item in the diagrammed page. I think "Menu" will get you what you want. You'll be offerred Font and Size boxes below the diagram.. Select a Font [I find Segoe UI Semibold to be very readable] and then enter a Font Size [I find 12 to, also, be readable but 14 may be better for your needs]. Click "Apply" and wait while your system makes the change. Viola! That should do it...if I understand your question.
