don't forget those electrical outlets in the garden designs
Comments (4)Great advice. My father was a plumbing/heating contractor and one thing we DO have are spigots on all 4 sides of the house! But "juice"... another story. We built on a shoestring budget (the place was sheetrocked and we had the 4 required doors when we moved in) and did we include the 10-15% for "landscaping", what do you think? hand in hand, went our naive oversight with respect to electricity. There is a reason building is expensive, there's a reason architects, landscape architects "earn" those fees that are so often the first to be cut in the "budget". Do I "regret" our oversight in that respect? On one hand, YES! it's so much more work to add electricity to a site after the fact, and it costs more. But we moved in for an "easy" mortgage payment that accorded us the luxury of "free time" to do the finish work ourselves. We were debt free in 10 years and while it was galling to deal with our initial oversight, we've had the benefit of watching the hardscape evolve and knowing where and when to concentrate our investment. When we built, we couldn't possibly have afforded "full boat" nor would we have been able to foresee what would be required. BUT, if you are able to afford it... do it NOW....See Moreleft out again - don't want to attend half-brother's wedding
Comments (13)"But since I was 18, I have been isolated from them. My parents include both the boys in all their vacations and most activities, although I'm rarely if ever invited. They even started excluding me from their 'family' Christmas with the Big Tree upstairs, since I have kids - supposedly, and have made me do Christmas with them in the downstairs entertainment area with my aunt and her kids - after and separate from their Christmas (although both of my SILs have attended theirs since they first dated my brothers)." I second KKNY and others who suggested there is a major backstory here that is missing. No parents "isolate" their 18 yo daughter (if that's what they did) without a reason. Parents don't have a "separate" Christmas (with a separate "Big Tree upstairs" which I guess is also an indication of a more special family celebration)from their DD just because she has children. (You indicated that your brothers' girlfriends (now wife and fiancee) have always been included in the "Big Tree" celebration, so it's not the fact that you have a DH.) AND, as for the slide show, it is extremely weird that you were not in any photos. I don't mean to be flippant, but, in the absence of some horrid mistake, a monkey putting together a slide show like this would make sure that there was at least one photo of all of the groom's siblings, especially one who lived with him, as you apparently did, for the first nine years of his life. No, it seems to me that there is much, much more to this than you have disclosed, so much that I certainly can't give you any advice. However, IF on the other hand, you truly have given a full and accurate depiction of events and you have never done anything whatsoever to warrant or cause your "isolation" and have no idea on earth why your mother, SD and 2 DSBs would treat you this way, then if I were you, I would consider these people psychopathic and disassociate myself from them....See MoreBig Brother
Comments (11)It was! I feel bad for a certain person, but what she thought she had heard sealed her fate. I had known that was coming as it was on my newsfeed, along with the reasons for her decision. Kudos to Kevin and Paul for being the only two who seemed to care. There certainly are a lot of showmances blooming. I find Cody extremely cold, the more I see of him, the more I dislike. I really enjoyed the Den of Temptation, so far I think this is one of BB's best seasons as far as themes. I was happy with who won....See MoreBig Brother tonight
Comments (18)I think Cody and Jessica have managed to alienate themselves from everyone. Unfortunately the cowboy drank The Cody kool-aid! I was so glad to see Mark come around to his senses and drop Cody. He is a very tender hearted guy. He was crying with Christmas after she broke her foot. I don't really trust Elana is that her name? That has the red lipstick and big boobs. She has been sleeping in Mark's bed and smooching with him but I think she is going to hurt him. She was all cuddled up and petting Paul a few nights ago on BBAD. She is sketchy....See More- 9 years ago
