I\'ve started building - Finishing up
« on: April 11, 2006, 04:18:47 AM »
Should be scraping the property and getting ready for concrete next week.  Bound and determined to get the roof up before our rainy season.

Seems like we have been working on this thing forever with delays from the architect, delays from the building department, wife getting canned....

FInally we have our loan signed and are ready to go....

Now, the stresses of building a house, producing two TV shows and having a baby.

I may as well shave my head now.

That rocks vid.  Living the American dream, and self-employed to boot :applause:   The house will be in FL so it has to be made of concrete correct?

Take some pics if you can.

i\'d build it out of titanium.. but that\'s just me

you don\'t have to build your home out of concrete in florida, but you have to have all these crazy hurricane clips, straps and fasteners to better hold your roof and walls together

Where\'s the rec room?  Do you guys make full basements in Florida, or no need?  I like the kitchen... and the fact that the secondary rooms are so far from the MBR so you won\'t be bothered (or bother) with noise.

See the stairway by the kid\'s rooms?

That goes up to a 15x40ish room for a home theater/office.I don\'t remember the exact dimensions.

When the house is complete it is going to be drywall and plywood.  Completely unfinished.

I\'m then going to complete the room as an office and write it all off.  

Nice when you have a profession where you can write off a $9,000 3 chip DLP front projector.  :)

damn, nukka!

next time I get stranded in FLA, maybe I can stretch out a bit....;)

My house would fit in your porch & garage. :D

Then again, I can realistically clean my house, mow my lawn, & bang Kyoko in one afternoon, whereas you will still be cleaning your garage. By the time you move on to the front hallway, I will be in the shower.

Wow, that\'s a very big house, or two houses combine together.  how did you get to be that rich?  Good for you btw.  Just give me half of your house and i would be happy.  j/k.

Oh, save those pictures in png is more prefer than jpg...png is a great lossless codec that save a lot of bandwidth on pictures with less color on them.  The lesser of different kind of shades of color on the picture, the more bandwidth it can save and retrieve them as original uncompress...just a suggestion on something i notice about png last year.

Well the files are really full size 1/4" scale and I quickly reduced them.  

The house will cost us about 300 to build.  We have 150k to put down on it, so really it\'s not that big of a deal.  The house will be worth over 600k, but it won\'t cost us nearly that much to build since we are doling owner/builder.

2 grand a month?...:eek:...before i purchased my home georgia, i was just about to buy an older home in jersey and my mortgage would\'ve been around 2100 a month...i could\'ve paid it, but i think that\'s a bit much, now i have a very comfortable 975.00 a month mortgage. Cost of living and things of that nature matter as well(for each state), but luckily i\'ve found a job paying just shy of what i was gettin paid in jersey..:fro:...and congrats VID..that is a huge home... i think my home is about 2800 - 3000 sq ft total....Post some mo\' pics as the home contruction starts...:)...and stop bein so modest,..we all know you\'re the big balla in these forums!..;)
