Tell me about colored concrete, stamping, etc.
Comments (17)Oh, woe is me! I'm feeling like an 'easy mark'. We are owners among other mostly Senior owners in a nice, but not plush, 310-unit complex on 23 acres: Maui Kamaole. These are primarily vacation rental condos with current market between $500K and $1M. (We're smallest.) The contractor can park on the internal access road 50 feet from the lanai to do the 14 X 17 X 5" pour if he uses a concrete pump fed through or over a low hedge. Removal of 120 sq ft of old 2 X 10 slabs would have to go to the end of the hedge via wheelbarrows -- maybe 150 ft. I don't know about disposal costs, but there are no building permits required. The contractor can park 10 feet from the courtyard gate to remove the concrete blocks there and pour 11 X 12 X 5". We may not do the walled courtyard. It exists primarily as a buffer between the condo BR and parking. There are about 300 random-shaped concrete blocks. I suppose they could be re-purposed. (I don't suppose they could be poured *over* to create a smooth, level surface? It's not as though we have freezing temps here.) My only similar cost comparison is the $8K we spent to tile the interior of our condo 11 years ago: 830 sq ft, laid on the diagonal w/tile 'baseboard'. The material was $3200 of that. I don't have a formal proposal yet. I'm hoping his $10K 'ballpark' for the lanai was intended to create a price from which he'll discount! I'm willing to pay somewhat more for a recommended contractor here, where there is a lot of fly-by-night, but...what would YOU pay?...See MoreABCs and rubber stamping...

Comments (5)Either will work. My builder uses a sprayer but they don't last long as they tend to clog. The roller will work but you need to be careful to not roll too fast or you'll create bubbles. If you spray, you need to craft something to block the areas where you don't want the spray to go. Use a piece of cardboard or something to act as an edger, but for sure, it is a two person job. Also, don't forget to use a sealer that has some form of anti-slip to it. BRICKFORM Safety-Seal is one such product. It has anti-slip in it and results in a nice low-sheen look. Our deck was sealed with the Brickform product in March of 04 and it still looks great. Jeff...See MoreShould I get off the buyer's emotional roller coaster?
Comments (8)ditto on getting an appraisal. Also- these buyers might be very picky and they might start asking for the sun, moon and stars(major price reduction,etc) after they get an inspection. So whatever price you might agree on now - will probably go lower if they play the inspection game. If they pulled out of the last home over an inspection, maybe there is more detail in that prior situation that you have not been told (maybe they were asking for lots of $). This is a game that some folks play, as they realize once you signed the contract, mentally, you are ready to sell and are more likely to lower the price on inspection items just to get it sold. They might also target vacant homes to do this - knowing that you are not living there, so really want it sold. Maybe if you go to a certain point(lower) in the price with the current negotiations, you could add in "as is", meaning ...we will sell for this price, but we won't pay for anything you find in the inspection, though you can walk away if you don't like the inspection results. Then again, you don't even have to be "as is" and simply limit the amt of inspection items you will agree to pay for/fix once inspection is done. Then they can choose to walk if they want....See Morebpath
