    Kinda hard to see, but this is the footer layout. Builder and grading contractor got on the same page. Grading guy is getting with the engineer tomorrow to get the design for the footer and foundation going. We're not doing a pony wall. This layout doesn't include the deck... Cad...

    Meeting on site tomorrow evening to see the layout staked, stringed, and painted. Hopefully it's done... Next task, they have house drawn with a 24" pony wall along the back side. This allows the siding to carry further down. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the floor joists resting on a pony...

    I've spent so much money trying to make the place pretty, I couldn't have a shit sign to go along with the dead grass and washed out driveway.... Premium signage will cancel the rest. Honestly tho, dude sent pictures after the grass cutting and it's not as bad as thought. Driveway will be...

    Thank you Pete! Our front door will not get much use either, nor will be seen much. The house is parallel with the driveway, so not exactly a "wow" factor on the garage side. This door is $4k I think, plus accessories. My builder does a mahogany door on every build he does, so why change it...

    I had some scrap osb so I made our "temporary address" sign. We have to have that and permit box before they do the footers. Most people just rattle can the numbers on it and hang it up. I didn't like that look, so I cut a stencil. After that, I put a few coats of polyurethane on it so it will...

    Met with the supply house that's supplying framing package, windows, exterior doors, trusses, and roof materials yesterday. We looked at samples of windows, doors, and shingles. Seeing a 6080 door in person really put the sizing of everything into perspective. Being a "poverty door" (as...

    Honestly, I wasn't either. After reading the pros/cons, I do like that they provide an unobstructed view, aside from the grids. They are also much more energy efficient. Most all of the homes we've been following on instagram have casement where the windows are large. I went from, nope, to...

    6.75% - 18 month term. I can continue the full 18 months, paying as much as want towards principle (or interest only), even if I'm moved in. That will allow me to build, move in, then sell our current house before doing a conventional mortgage.

    Alright, we've decided on slider for the patio door. Black, low profile, low threshold, no grid. Now to figure out current cost with screen and if there's a pocket option for all 4 panels. Will discuss on Friday. Still haven't picked front door and casement vs double hung in master bedroom...

    Post away my friend I've had to warranty two of ours. I just emailed them photos and they shipped them to the dealer in Knoxville. They wouldn't ship directly to me either

    Have you met most contractors? Some will remember my window fiasco. I had to fire the dude and and finish the job myself. Thats the first time I'd ever hired someone to do something I could've done, but really didn't have the time. This guy was a friend of my FIL and that single job is the...

    Gay Honestly though, the grid on the 4 lite matches the grid on the windows. Thats the reason for my choice. I think Steph liked the 6, I can't remember. Not sure about the height on either door, ours will be 6080 door.

    Also, entry door. I'm leaning for the 4 lite, but 6 lite is not off the table...Dont pay attention to the stain color. Ours will not be that dark. Its a mahogany door and will be stained to match our posts (I imagine) 4 Lite 6 Lite

    Large casement window or double hung in the master? Currently double hung...Transom windows above are a separate line item and will stay, regardless. I think the double hung is cheaper than casement, but not sure how much.

    When we replaced the windows in my current house, they stripped the vinyl and reinstalled "new construction" windows, which I liked. I felt we got a better product than a traditional "replacement" window. I could be wrong through. As for the new house, Andersen 400 Series. There's a mix of...

    I gotcha. Mine shouldn't have any direct sunlight beaming through it. The porch is covered and the way we positioned the house, the sun should cross it diagonally (north facing)
