January 2020 Building a Home
Comments (176)@devonfield, the pantry is 5'10" x 6'11". My husband and I designed the pantry using wireframe software -- he's a software architect so he uses wireframes to design software and we used the same software to design our pantry! We designed this with huge detail, basically deciding where everything we own will go, and then we handed it to the trim guys and they built it exactly as we specified. It turned out even better than we imagined!...See MoreShow Us Your Landscape/Gardens - A Photo Thread - January 2021
Comments (37)Sue, you always sound like a very busy and productive person! Painting rooms! Love it. Babs, what a cute name!! Flax! I think getting a dog is one of the best decisions for someone who is grieving. Dogs are such a comfort and good company too. Yes, COVID and working from home was the reason for the addition of the dachshund in our family too. They were going a little stir crazy at home without co workers, and decided it was a good time to get a dog. It has worked out better than I ever expected. They did virtual training classes too. And while they were doing a lot of walking any way, it's increased and the stairs up and down, in and out. They are as fit as they've ever been. [g] The dachshund puppy is called Babs, believe it or not. lol I'd love to post a photo but, they'd kill me if I did. So I found a photo online of a dog that is similar.... you can see how low to the ground he is. He gets soaked and sometimes muddy when he's walking in wet weather. I love that photo of the early morning sky!...See MoreApril Building A House 2021
Comments (455)Our delays are frustrating because we made selections months ago but the builder never ordered them. We are contracted on a spec house so we cannot order them ourselves. My daughter was not the one kicked by the horse. She had torn labrum/hip impingement surgery so I know exactly what you are experiencing. Best of luck to your daughter. She is lucky to have you!...See MoreJUNE 2021 Building a Home
Comments (416)Tanya Shelly - I feel for you! So sorry that this is happening. There really is no excuse! We approached our builder yesterday about finish date. We were thinking the middle of September. I wanted to make sure that we were in by the end of September because I have a Disney trip planned with my daughter and grandchildren (their first trip) the middle of October. The builder said that we could push for the end of September, but it would most likely be the end of October. DH thinks if we let him say October, that it will be November! 😫 That means more rent, insurance for two places, utilities for two places, etc. Thankfully, we are not paying storage fees. Though our storage in the rental is getting tight. Can't wait to turn over our lighting to the electrician, but that's not happening anytime soon. We are still waiting on humidity levels to go down in the house before floors can be put down. The HVAC is running on 60 because the house is so tight, it was already cool, so was not cycling. That's good for future, but not when trying to get the H down. Cabinets are supposed to be delivered in 2 weeks. We cannot take delivery if the floors are not down (install is for the 26th.) The trimmers are stilled delayed and will now have to do the coffered ceilings after the cabinets are placed. The tiler cannot finish because the trim is not in the bathrooms, nor are the doors (which can't happen until the floors are down. It's a cycle!!! Driveways and porches were supposed to be poured two weeks ago. The back porch was pour yesterday (still needing finish work.) With the prediction of rain/thunderstorms today, and Monday being a holiday, they will not come back until next Tuesday to do the front porch. Driveways suppose to be next Wednesday. The silver linings, that I can see in this whole thing, are that it shouldn't be hot as Hades when we move. I cannot imagine trying to move in this heat! I can probably go to Disney easier before we move in, but afraid I will miss out on house decisions and catching mistakes. DH will stay behind and keep me informed. Thank goodness for Facetime!!! There are worse problems in the world so I hate to sound down over a newly built house. We are so fortunate!...See MoreRelated Professionals
