why not two solar pool covers?
Comments (1)We use a lareg solar pool cover over our GH in winter and they are VERY heavy. We don't have a PVC hoop-house, ours is aluminum all-glass with additional support for snow loads, so weight isn;t an issue BUT I doubt we'd be able to lift a second cover up on to ours. They weigh a lot so I'd be sure your structure allows for the weight of two covers and any additional weight from snow/ice....See Moreintroducing myself
Comments (1)Welcome! Your inspiration pictures are very similar to what I'm envisioning for our house too. Good luck! :)...See MoreBank Assessment, Cost to build
Comments (4)Are you sure the homes they used were actually comparable, specifically in the area of the acreage included? A 2400 sq ft home on a half-acre lot does NOT have the same value as the same home on 6 acres. Also, they are not supposed to use short sales as comparables - but if the sales were merely at a loss and not a short sale there is little you can do. But that an owner found it necessary to sell at a loss says something about the market, and home values, where you plan to build. A house is only really worth what somebody else will pay for it, no matter how much it cost to build. I'd suggest trying to get a new assessment from a non-bank affiliated assessor, if you can. Banks don't want to either loan money or give a high valuation on homes these days. They fear further erosion in property values, and their concern is justified. It may well be that you bought land at an inflated pre-2008 price, and now you will have to accept the loss in land value reflected in the value of the finished home. My husband wants to know how long you intend to remain in this home. He's right to ask. If this is your permanent home, a lower assessment is a good thing tax-wise. If you have plans to sell and turn a profit, think again. Homes are no longer "investments" that will appreciate in value at an outrageous pace. They will appreciate at the much lower historic rate, if at all....See MoreThank you for the beautiful gifts - we are so touched by your kindness
