mike Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 i do have one question. Why build a new house that you only plan on living in for 15yrs:confused: i guess that is a bit confusing to me:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 i do have one question. Why build a new house that you only plan on living in for 15yrs:confused: i guess that is a bit confusing to me:D Because our existing house is too puny. Who knows how long we'll have this house. I know I'll be eligible for retirement in 15 years, and my youngest child will be 22 in 15 years. Who can say what will happen in the next 15 years, but I do know my wife and I alone will not need 3000 sq ft of home once the kids are gone.

Steven Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nice floor plan, but I'm assuming you get to pull out the ladder to dust the high windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nice floor plan, but I'm assuming you get to pull out the ladder to dust the high windows. Extension duster/squeegee. I can't wait to paint that 20 ft. bad boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkV Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Chris looks like a really nice place. Take lots of construction pics and keep us up to date bud. Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoythunter37 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looks great. Thanks for the site too. I am trying to find some plans as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 $550 seems high, but depends on what they include. Up here we do the siteplans and stake the foundation on the lot for $600 or so. If you are on a subdivision lot, we can do the survey included with that for about $900-$1000, pending how complex your site is. One of the most important parts of the project, yet overall, one of the cheapest:confused:. Still haven't figured that out:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here we do the siteplans and stake the foundation on the lot for $600 or so. That's what they're doing. The lot itself has already been surveyed. This is for them to do the siteplans and stake the foundation. It's basically a "CYA" thing for them. I already showed them the warranty deed, and pointed out the fact there's no encumberances, easements, right of ways or anything like that because it's just farm land right now. They didn't care. I guess I can't blame them, they'd be liable if they built a house on someone's easement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 You are right.........we assume a ton of liability, thus the need to be licensed/credentialed. There may be something in your local building code or zoning ordinance that requires it. More government is better right:rolleyes: Hope it goes well.
