    None really. It was covered in trees. I'm sure they will pop up now though. I'm curious what you find, because I'm sure we'll need it

    Picked up our building permit today. Submitting everything to our POA on Monday for approval. They meet 4/9. Bank emailed and said loan is in underwriting so we should hear something soon. That's my Friday update

    Smooth drum rolled the pad and driveway today. Cleaned up the edges and what not. All his dump trucks were hauling on a big job I told him to keep them on it and get that money. Polished up nicely 3-4 more loads of rock and I'm calling it good enough. It's going to get destroyed during...

    Future shop pad. Originally, I was going to build the shop first/alongside the home build. Then I got the extremely expensive quote from my builder (custom home builders build at a certain level, regardless of structure type apparently). Shifted gears. Going to build the house first. Once we get...

    Building permit got approved. Just have to find time to go get it. They're almost done with the gravel. Pad is ~130' long, left to right. Still need to cap with crusher run, extend the driveway to the approximate house corner, then cap the rest of the drive with a fresh coat of crusher. It's...

    eBay had several sets for $150 or so. That should get you set up.

    Applied for the building permit today. Should have elevations back soon. He said he was going to try to get them on the computer and to me this weekend. They supposedly hauled some gravel today also. Not sure how much. Bank emailed and said they were starting the review and will be in touch...

    Tony’s express van engine upgrade/swap

    Ls engines have "fractured rods", meaning they are cast as one piece, then they break them. This creates a perfect piece. When they are assembled, you can't tell they are broken because they fit together flawlessly. Here's an example I found on from a google search A set of stock rods...

    Tony’s express van engine upgrade/swap

    Sucks to hear, but you learned some things. Are those rods fractured? I assume so. If thats the case and you havent torqued them, should be pretty easy to get some back in order. They will only fit one rod, then the crack completely disappears. Not sure I'd be very concerned with that little...

    Meet my guy out there this afternoon. Of course, it starting raining just before we got there. Finally let up after 30 minutes. Got some elevation shots for the footer. He's going to build a model and overlay the survey drone data. Mud pit Him, setting up the rover

    Nope. Says he wants to wait until we have the numbers on the foundation. Bank DGAF, just told them the estimated per square foot price....We'll see if that changes at our next meeting. Being in commercial, this residential stuff is by far, the most ass backwards setup I've ever dealt with Not...

    Going to file for a building permit tomorrow. It's required for POA prior to approval. Ass backwards, but whatever Meeting with the grading guy that will do the footers and septic install tomorrow. Going to get elevations from new footprint. We'll submit that info to get plans adjusted. Small...

    I have the makita version. 36v. Have the string trimmer too. Been very happy with them over the past 4-5 years. I'll prob have to get a bagger attachment for the mower. Not looking forward to it and may end up paying to have the lawn care done. I haven't decided on that yet. After the bank...

    I think so. Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but it's lovely back there. So quiet. I could hear the drone the entire flight. I'm getting excited about living out there

    Just remember, you haven't lost or gained until you sell...I'll keep contributing and consider it a sale. We went out and rough staked the house footprint. I say rough because we aren't surveyors and they didn't flag every single corner, just the main exterior. Overall, extremely happy with...

    Don't rush it. We've been working towards this for years, and I'm still not 100% comfortable with those numbers. Big step for little ol me. My advice, pay all you can on the principle of your home. Knock it out and you can you take those funds and put towards future home. If you have two...

    Well, every situation is different. My land wasn't great to start with, then I kept adding to the scope, based on site conditions. if you have good land to start with, you won't have near the heartache. Let me be a lesson for you. At the same time, I have a wonderful piece of land that still...
