Speaking of disasters,
Guy down here was building his dream home overlooking the beach. Two story to get that great ocean view.
All framed up, He's upstairs one day, checking on the progress and that beautiful view. Plumber's torch catches the insulation on fire, it spreads so quickly he's trapped on the second floor, has to jump into a pile of sand to escape. That was last year, it still sits, a charred eyesore, I guess because of insurance issues.

This is why you hire good contractors.

This is why you hire good contractors.

And have great insurance and an even better lawyer.

I feel bad for him. That is just ridiculous. How could insurance be holding this up when it was the plumber's negligence?

Beats me.
Again, I'm just guessing. Could be because this being the land of haints and curses he's decided to build elsewhere.

Could be any number of issues.

How many square feet is the house again? If you wanna get a good deal on flooring, you need to go to Michael’s Carpet in Calhoun across from Bucc-ee’s.

Also, would your wife be OK without having any kind of soft flooring? I told my wife I wanted hardwood in the entire house; we got carpet upstairs lol.

I’ve got a buddy that sells for them, ask for Bryan Banks!

We did the plumbing ourselves

Bought the battery powered Milwaukee pex expander tool

Super easy to do

They say you only have to know two things to do. Plumbing ship will not run uphill and don’t bite your fingernails

I sugegst anything not eaily replaceable (lights, carpet etc are easily replaceable) windows , doors, HVAC , insulation , roofing are buy once cry once.

As for taxes ours hit $13472 (house and 1 acre) in 2023 , wife appealed and redcuced a couple of thousand.

We sold.

Always appeal
